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

I dont know to much about media and how they go about coding it but i have always bought my dvd-r's from Shop4tech.com and i get thet SONIC DVD-R 8x ...either thermal or inkjet ones...and the media code is always TYG02....did they someone how put a fake code on the dvd or are they actually the same??
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.

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.
thanks op, in for 100. perfect timing too. i have just a couple left from my last order. they have been oos for awhile. p.s. i have ordered these from s4t before, no problems with the discs, as mentioned, the 4x burn at 8x. never had a problem with s4t.
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.
