The title says it all, but this is the way you have to do it...

print: this officemax page (http://www.officemax.com/max/solutions/product/prodBlock.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&prodBlockOID=1611316220&expansionOID=-536895600) This is a promo they are having.

Then walk into an OffiMax B&M and request a price-match from a floor manager who will highlight some stuff and tell you to take it to the cashier...

I bought the last two 50-packs of this from their shelves, and after tax it cost me under $18 ... the same brand / media costs $30+ $6 shipping at newegg.com for a 100 dvd spindle. Atleast the reviews for this media are great on the same sales page! link (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817507005)

whats the big diff between the two types?

I hear -R is better for more dvd players...

PS: make sure you hit refresh after hitting that link, now that I tried it, it wont reach it unless you hit refresh after you're at the link page...

or you can go the long rout and just search for it on their site :)

Blue Falcon explained it well here (http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1030327853&postcount=41). One interesting tidbit about +R is if you happen to have one of the BenQ 165x drives, overburning 4600+ megs on +R is possible. Although the chipset in the DW1655 supports -R overburning, no one has been able to get it working.

I'm pretty much in agreement with that post... so buying the $7.98 DVD-Rs over the $12.98 DVD+Rs actualy saved me even more :) nice to know :)
