Calling all within the Dallas/Ft,. Worth sphere of influence:

Is anyone willing to get in on part of a big purchase of some DVD-R(W) media? Most of the good deals are for 100 pieces or more, but I don't need that many. I figured that, if a few of us go in on a group buy, we could get a good deal and deliver via CTAM* or the like.

Anyone interested? My wish list, from most-wished-for to least:

1. DVD-RW (25 pieces or less)
2. DVD-R 4X Pioneer A05 compatible (50 pieces or less)
3. DVD-R 1X generic and cheap (50 pieces or less)

Anyone?

* CTAM = Chevy Truck Access Method

I'm going to need to purchase some media for my wife's Mac soon; I'm not in the area, but if you get a good enough deal on a large quantity, I'd be willing to pay for shipping.

I just bought a bunch, so I'm probably not ready yet. I've also switched to buying inkjet printable and it's a bit more.

Is your wishlist what you need out of the purchase? What do you need 25 RW disks for?

I was getting the DVD-RW for backups and other "transient" stuff.

Yes, my wishlist is what I need out of the purchase.

How do those inkjet printable jobbies work? Do you have to have a special printer?

That Epson looks pretty nice. I also like the one they're coming out with in May that just does photos and CD/DVD; only $199 retail!

On a side note: what's with this 6 color system? Is this in common use now? Sounds like a definite way to take the razor blade analogy to a whole new high.

Bryan, actually what I was hoping to get was either the DVD-RWs or the 4X DVD-R; I've got about 40 or 50 1X DVD-R right now, so I'm good on them. I do appreciate the offer, though!

I buy the ink-jet printables because I like the white top instead of the silver...I dont' have a printer that will print on them (have the Epson Photo 825), but might be getting one soon...

I just bought a 15 ct spindle of DVD-R a week ago, but my partner is going through them at a decent clip. I'll check when I get home if he wants to go in with y'all for a better deal.

Brad, we have the same recorder drive (Cendyne A105/Pioneer A05). Harry says he might go as high as 50 pieces for just DVD-R, depending on timing and pricing. The RWs don't play in our progressive scan player (bummer!).
