DVD-R Check

Do any of you know if these are any good? It's listed as TYGO2. I'm trying to find a good, cost friendly replacement for my Japan Maxells.

Fake. Notice how it says "High Quality's 8X speed DVD-R" instead of "Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R". I don't see any legit media there. Or at least nothing that leads me to believe it's legit.

But there is some here:

Thanks for the quick reply, LS.

I've been looking at those two sites but UPS shipping to Hawaii is outrageous, which is the only carrier they both use. It would cost me more to ship the DVDs than the cost of the discs themselves. I found that Meritline is the only one that will ship via USPS Priority. I'm going to play it safe and stick to the authentic TYs at Meritline.

Yeah, these should be fine:

(4x) http://www.meritline.com/taiyo-yuden...r-lacquer.html

I got the 8x only because the 4x are out of stock right now and I really need the blanks ASAP. I actually prefer 4x media, but in desperate times, what can you do? Thanks for your help LS.
