Hi!

In addition to the good advice you've already received, be advised that you can frequently be lucky enough to get legitimate T-Y manufactured DVD media when you purchase SONY branded 8X DVDs (+ or -) whose packaging states "Made in Japan"...

Yup, this is true. Also another good check is taste, real Tayio Yuden discs will have a slightly salty venison taste. Just be sure not to eat the whole cake package at once or you might get indigestion.

LMAO @slightly salty venison taste !

As for "look/ask for media ID code, dye colour ..." << They can be faked too! I think.

The best motto is: nothing comes cheap/buy from reputables.
