I got to get some discs, as i am on my last 20 discs. So which ones of these verbatium dvd's should i get - http://svp.co.uk/searchresults.php?sSrch=Verbatim+dvd

I only have £20 to spend in paypal and thats it, i can't risk spending anymore as the £200 i got is my college money.

I'm only getting them as they don't have the datawrite i want, and would like verbatim.

These are what I buy for myself and others most of the time:

These are all excellent choices too:

Price are PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL to what it costs in the USA or Canada. It's about $15-18 for a 50-pack, or $70 for a 200-pack. To spend any less money will get you crappy discs from CMC, fakes, RITEK, etc. With cheaper media, all you save is maybe $5, but you end up with tons of coasters and discs that must be replaced. Verbatim tends to burn 100% perfect all the time.

For your £20, you can pick up 2x 50-packs, so 100 discs. That's a good price. And those are archival-grade discs.

Use them for special needs, your own masters of sets, etc. Keep the cheap ones for people you don't like, freebies
