Just got them email that they were back in stock. These have worked great for me in the past. I have gotten media code TYG01 on the 300 or so I have ordered so far however others have reported getting TYG02's. Initially myself and others here thought that TYG02's were lower quality but I actually found out(and posted here)that TYG01's are 4x media and TYG02's are 8x media. So basically you have a shot at getting genuine TY 8x media for 4x media price, plus my NEC 2500a burns the 4x media at 8x anyway.

100: $31-10% off code = $27.90 shipped
200: $60-10% off code = $54.00 shipped

Link to genuine TY media
Link to free gift(Do not add them, they are automatically added to your cart when ordering 200 or more)
10% off code: cs10

Get them before they are OOS again. They've been OOS for a few months before now.

I'm getting 100. Still don't know what I'll do with all this media stacking up at my place, but this is too good to pass up.

My NEC burner burns TYG01s at 8X, TYG02s at 12X. Both are even higher with tricked out firmware. So sounds like a winner to me.

The original poster should probably have mentioned these are regular (single layer, 4.7GB) DVD-Rs, as opposed to DVD+Rs or +R DLs.

SuperMediaStore.com has a 100 pack of 8x for $32.99...they were $29.99 last week. AND they come in a spindle.

I'm going to have to see where they say "Made in Japan", otherwise I think they be fake. The last TYG02's I got from yesbuy where randomly stuck together, and the edges were very jagged. But they all had a media code of TYG02. I don't trust any TYG02 media that doesn't say the words "Made in Japan"

Why pay an extra $5 just for cake boxes? Plus my deal for 100 is $27.90 shipped, I went through the whole checkout process at SuperMediaStore and the total was 100 for $41.56 shipped. They tacked on a nice $8.57 for shipping making your deal $13.66 more than the deal I posted.

Like Ju said.... these are genuine TY02.
I've bought from them twice already
2 orders of 500pk.

All were genuine TY02 stable burns at 16x. Plextor 716A.

This is a hot deal!

True, this is not an issue for me though, and most others I would think, as I can burn the 4x at 8x anyway. Still with the high shipping even for 8x I don't think they are worth it for almost $42.

Shop4tech is not honest, look at the PSP thread!

Buy from SuperMediaStore or rima!

Shop4tech is not honest, look at the PSP thread! Dude, your a sad case. I read that PS2 thread and b/c
Shop4tech made an honest mistake with the price of the PS2's you have the nerve to say they aren't honest. In that thread
you said you complained to the BBB and wrote a negative review on bizrate. Man, if there's a definition of having 'NO LIFE'
you epitomize it. I've bought from Shop4tech since early 2002 and never had an issue. And even if I did purchase something from them where they clearly made a price mistake, I would try to make them honor there price..i'm not gonna lie..but in the end i'd be extremely reasonable like MOST and realize a mistake is a mistake and trying to bash a company every which way from something like that is pretty pathetic buddy.

Just to be safe, I burn all my data on 2x speed. My concern is the safe, reliable backup. & there is nothing wrong w/ this vendor. I have purchased this same media from them before; no issues, great performance... Thanks OP.
