Verbatim 8X 8.5GB DVD+R DL 30PK (MIS) $42.99 @ FUTURESHOP

[Dark-Danz]

Was looking around futureshop today right after picking up my little sister from school and I came across this good deal since I missed out on the last deal they had. I did some math and after taxes, it came out to $1.62 per disc good for those 360 games. :razz:

I asked if they would have anymore instock from the 6 I saw and the 1 I held in my hand, they said they were just clearing out stock they currently have. I'm not to sure about salesperson being knowledgeable because he was hesitant when he answered me.

Warm if you need it right away, otherwise I got my last 30-pack for $34.99

So for the relative layman, what is the desire for the discs aside from DD? I assume it's for some less then savory methods to obtain console games, yes?

Also good for "perfect" DVD movie backups.

Correct. One Google search on "Verbatim" and "Xbox 360" will answer all your questions.

This is the only reason why these things sell. They are far cheaper DL disks that are fine for regular data.

They had a 20 pack for $22.99 a few weeks back. Picked up a good number then.

Yay for xbox 360 backups!

Too each their own. If im going to burn something that I want to last Ill spend a little more and be sure its going to work in a year or 2 by using Verbatim. Id rather do that then save 50 cents and have to pray its readable later.
I'm surprised MS hasn't bought verbatim. At least then they would make a little bit off 360 & Wii pirates. :cheesygri

those are 2.4x, these are 8x

Since the ones that were 24.99 last week were out of stock I got raincheck.. and today I went to FS and tried to look for them but sold out.. So the guy said he would give me the 30 pack of 8x for 34.99 and I took them ,good deal?

34.99 seems to be the standard the 30pk's go on sale for.. they go to that price about every 4-6 weeks. So I think this deal is warm at best.
