Guess you have been having better luck then I have. I made copys of cd's of the local asian gift/music shop which are actually cdrs themseleves just to ensure that they are safe w/ riteks and I have kept them in a case in my house(no sunlight/heat/water etc) and in about 1.5 years they are now begining to skip/clicking and its not one throughout the entire cd its about 10 clicks per track! I even treat these cdrs better then I would treat my kids if i had any
On the other hand I use TY on my liteon to backup my anime and they've lasted so far except for the ones I burn at 40-48x which corrupt the sounds by messing up the timing.
Well I just got back, and luckily for woman that tried to cheat me she wasn't there. I only got 200 discs but it was nearly impossible getting them. The person working the phone at officemax wouldnt admit to the price of the cds were $10 and so the CC manager kept trying to tell me that they wouldnt honor the pricematch if officemax didnt honor their own price. I had him call again later and he got the same thing. After a bit of convincing by telling him I know people such as my brother have been getting it for $10 at OM he finally gave in and gave me the 110% of the difference. All in all it came out to $15.02 hehe not bad at all $.07 / cd. He also didnt seem to care about the limit either so i really should have grabbed more but i think ill give beast buy some hell next.
My memorex are labeled 40x and nero reports that they are TY which i already knew, since it had "made in Japan" right under the upc., its worth the extra effort to see if they are TY i think.
If you get the same problem as me, I suggest you have the manager call another Office Max.
FYI Boulder, CO Circuit City has about 8 more 100 pack cakes that are TY, and the OM in Boulder has only Riteks... I checked.
