Anyone try the 4x Ritek's on the Pioneer A05/105 yet?

[EcchiNut]

pretty much what the subject asks. Has anyone tryed the 'new' Ritek 4x "certified" DVD-R blanks for the Pioneer DVR-105/A05 yet? I get my A05 in a day or two(depending on delivery time), and saw this being sold somewhat cheap.

Cheapest i've found it for is $2.60 on eBay not including shipping. Have you found it for less? If so, where?

[EcchiNut]

actually same source. I consider that "cheap" for 4x blanks.

i saw them for like 1.80ea in packs of 100 on pricewatch..
look for ritek g04.

just got my stack in and they burn nicely at 4x in my dvr-105, took only 14 minutes and some change to burn a complete 4.38GB disc.

let me guess? from HyperMicro?
I would have shopped from there as well for it, the only problem. They dont ship to Canada. AHHHHHHH.
Sucks to be me.

have you tried asking them? i have a buddy in toronto that bought from them no problem. the shipping cost is higher than regular US shipping but it still comes out ahead of some other places. give them a call or write them an email.

actually i just sent them a email about it now just in case. It looks like i have to do it a manual way. I didnt notice the fine print in the shipping area.

ohh one other thing, even though the media i got is bulk the disc tops are not shiny silver like i used to have with ritek g03, rather they're matted blue. just in case you're using labels or something. i've always used sharpies so i didn't care either way, in fact the discs look rather neat.

no, it's more of a blue color, not lavender.

anyone else tried this media? Has anyone tried it only an early xbox (i got mine on day 2) since my xbox is not reading the crappy khypermedia I got or the dvd-rw that came with my DVR-105 (of course nothing is reading the -rw media that came with it)
