Bit harder to get ones that are proven to work with NEC 2500a I have found. Datasafe Media (the more expensive one) and Princo seem to be the best for this one.

Bigpockets are doing 25 for £7.99 which they say 'Work in Pioneer, Sony and NEC Drives.'

Problem with them is they charge £15.50 delivery to Ireland so you've got to order a lot to make it worth your while.

Yes I have experienced this brand, the bulkpaq Inkjet Printable look to be the same as their previous Purple disc, I didn't get 1 good disc out of them, they all came up burnt ok, but none of them played right, allways at the end of the disc it would have glitches....going back to the Memorex -r which I have about 20 left or so, and going to try 4x yellow from either www.peates.ie or www.mediawrite.ie, Well they are both Irish....going to support my own.

mkelleher77, what make of drive were you using with the bulkpaqs? Getting worried now, but I'll give them a try anyway as I've got 25 ordered. If I get a few duds I won't have any problem contacting pricestorm about it, they're a good company to deal with.

The Burner which I am using is the Sony DRU500A, at the time it cost me over €400, but boy has it made it's money back,

They may be a good company to deal with but you will have to post the good's back to them and you will have to pay the fee, that is the drawback with english companies, it is more expensive to send returns to them!,

I had to send back 2 dvd-rw drives and a 200GB HDD to Ebuyer.com and it cost €34.40 to send registered post, it was €14.30 to send normally, but if it is lost in the post(and things do go missing between Ireland and England, I had a PC case go missing around christmas 2 years ago!) it's your problem,

I had to choose the registered delivery or pay the price of loosing 2 drives and a hdd, Bitter Pill to swallow, alot of companies will tell you they are not responsible for the media since it open, they tell you it's a compatibility issue as opposed to being hardware related, Which it is not hardware related. What do you do then?.

Later.

Comparing the prices of stuff like DVDs and blanks in Ireland V Europe, I'll choose the cheaper every time. Like I say Pricestorm won't have any problems taking these back and I won't bother registering them because they're worth so little. If it was something more expensive then I'd have second thoughts.

Just a note on these. Got them on Friday and have burned and watched 4 discs through so far without a problem. Looks like a good batch.

I got 10 dvd-r's and 10 cd-r's at lunch time for £6.50 (around ten euro) from discount-computers-ni.co.uk, by bulkpaq(.co.uk)

Bargain!

On pricestrom.co.uk most of the disks say they only compatible with ;
Pioneer PC Writer
DVR-A05
DVR-105
DVR-A06
DVR-106

I would assume they also work with Pioneer 107?
