Blank CD and DVD media online

[ZENGHOST]

Hey, guys--I just bought a new (BenQ) lightscribe capable DVD burner but I can't seem to find any lightscribe capable media locally to use with it. Anyone know of a reliable online source that has a good selection of blank media? Looking mostly for DVDs, but need lightscribe CDs too. Thanks.

Never used Lightscribe (in fact I'd never heard of it before now), but these people are reliable and _seem_ to stock what you require.

The Lightscribe DVD media is just now becoming commercially available.

The CD media is available at a few retail stores, (prohibitively expensive in retail stores from what I've seen).

Try meritline or supermediastore

Thanks, guys. Gabe--have you ordered from those places? SuperMediaStore pops up at the top of the google list but I'd feel better knowing that other people had good dealings with them.

I get my CD/DVD supplies from www.cddimensions.com

Great customer service and they're really quick! I love their Tyvek sleeves w/ window and Taiyo Yuden CD-R/DVD+R media.

Edit: Woops, just checked and they don't offer any Lightscribe compat. media yet. Sorry, but hopefully they'll have some soon.

Neither store has very high ratings on http://www.resellerratings.com
(But then, customers will take the time to complain, but not usually take time to praise a vendor, so I don't take the ratings at face value.)
But, myself and my father as well as friends have placed many (more than 30) orders at meritline without issue. I have ordered from supermediastore twice I believe, also with no issues.

I bought a CD burner a few years ago from SuperMediaStore and it was a nightmare. It was just after Apple switched to OSX and only specific burners were fully compatible. They advertised one on the list, a Sony, and I bought it, but it was a different one when I got it, which WASN'T compatible. I sent it back three times and they sent a different one every time, saying "It doesn't matter. They're all the same" which for PC's they pretty much were, but I needed a specific drive they advertised and they couldn't provide it. They suck.
