Sounds good to me. Never actually burnt any myself, but PNY is a better name than GENERIC.

I have yet to make a coaster from a PNY. (I've probably burned 500+ CD-R's) That's not to say you won't, but they seem to work well for me.

Thanks sharpie. Can you use these rebates if you buy at the local BB?

Is this really work out??If yes....I'll just drop by at my local BB later.

Anyone try to burn these @16x? I see they are rated to 12X, but I would only get them if they will work at high speed.

Sorry for the dup post, forums acting slow from my ISP today.

I believe this deal originated from BB's Sales Flyer. So it should be valid B&M

I too was wondering if these would burn or fry at 16x (rated 12x)? Anyone know?

They are OK disks. I got some and they work pretty well, but I wouldn't trust anything you want saved long term. I'm very suspicious of the ones I burned onto. Good deal though if you need some CD's.

XZeroII:

Which brand of disks WOULD you trust long-term? I have had numerous audio CD's I burned go bad after less than a year. The sound gets crackly and eventually the CD player can't even read it. I'd like to find a brand that is stable long-term (and in the hot car) and stick with it.

Yeah I am thinking of buying a bunch of these sort of cheap CDRs as throwaways. I need to mail a lot of files to people that are on dialup, and I think cheap CDRs via mail might be the best way to get it to them. I dont want to spend a lot on the media, as that would negate the purpose, and the disks wont be used more than 2 or 3 times to read the data. I think I will pick them up and see how they go.
