Has anyone tried these on xbox360 yet?

I got some Verbatim Dual Layers from an eBay seller in Scotland the other day, worked out at about €1.80 each inc delivery for 10 pack.

Seemed a very good price for these, they are €35 in PC World for 10!

Will see if I can find the name of the seller if anyone's interested.

PowerHouseDan, will you install http://www.dvdinfopro.com/ and find out who manufactures them please?

On second thoughts, sod it, might just buy a pack and find out..

Irishpimpdude

What tescos have these? none in clearwater

Safer using verbatim on your xbox. Even if you get a successful burn with a cheap brand, they will put more strain on your xbox dvd laser than verbatim disks will.

Not in Galway tescos

All depends on the dye used on the tesco discs

Amalgam

Brand means nothing, it is the manufacturer that counts when it comes to the dye and general quality.

Cheers calex71 and PowerHouseDan, Ricoh Japan are excellent media, on a par with Taiyo Yuden. I was worried it would be tat like CMC Magnetics or Moser Bayer..

Great stuff, great bargain, compared to tech\comp shops in Dublin. I'll try and get a few packs now.

vectra

Just got a reply from a guy on another forum that I posted that media code on
he said

they work fine on my samsung and hitachi with my LG burner

Woohoo
Looks like I am gonna grap a couple of packs tomorow :cool:

Irishpimpdude

Are these in any tescos in north dublin?

dolittle

vectra

None in Tesco Mitchelstown

PowerHouseDan

Just a Quick Price update these have gone down to 3.49 for the Above, about 5 packs left in Mahon Point, I just bought about 4 of them.

Irishpimpdude

God i wish i could find some, any in dublin at all people? there not even on the tesco site

Amalgam

I was in Ballybrack Tesco last night, none in sight, I asked were they on the website. Manager for that section followed me to the till, asked what I was looking for and very kindly went to have a gander in the stock room. Nothing.

PowerHouseDan

Kinda weird they are not listed on the UK Tesco website either.

parasite

Thanks OP, good deal for sure

degsie

Tesco in Lucan are selling these for €3.49 for a pack of 5. Had a few left after I helped myself to several

Irishpimpdude

There was some in tesco clearwater today i got the last pack at around 9 :mad: i wanted more argh lol

PowerHouseDan

There are Nine packs of these lefts in Tesco Mahon Point, Prob more as the Shelf where they are was actually full

blobert

I got 3 packs in Tesco Nutgrove earlier today, left the other 3 for someone here:)

MiloFoxburr

Bought 6 Packs of these in Tescos in the Square today ^^ Thanks OP

Cmar-Ireland

Got 5 packs in Tesco Newbridge, plenty left there too.

Irishpimpdude

I used 3 of these so far they play for a couple mins then i get unreadable disc on my xbox

rob316

Bought 3 packs of these in wilton, cork. Had 5 left over. Thanks OP

Amalgam

Priced at 3.49 euro each pack of five.

I made my way down to Bloomfields in Dun Laoghaire late Sunday and purchased the 6 packs available at the store. Just to add, Bloomfields are open till midnight up to the 24th.

They're made in China. I find that odd, Ricoh Japan generally are a 'Made in Japan' product, the same goes for other good quality media like Taiyo Yuden. Japan made, typically.

What are the probabilities of the Media Code on the blanks being fake?

I don't know much about Ricoh media, there might be ways of telling if they're legitimate by markings on the inner ring.

Nice dark dye used. Tesco branded on top.

As well as the main pack, each media piece is plastic wrapped inside. Not suitable for most home thermal printers, Casio, TDK, LPCW-50, LPCW-100 etc. Media has a slight grain to it.

Here are a few pictures to help potential buyers. Sorry about the quality.

chabsey

Was checking Tesco's Jervis street and as you can see they have them marked on the shelf rather strangely. DVD+RW dual layer, which they're obviously not. In this case the sign is like a mix of two products, the dual layer which people want and this 8mm RW disc that is not a bargain.

Because this product says "DVD-RW" on the cover and because I know that 99.9% of Tescos employees will take one look at the sign and think that the RW means that the correct product is on display, I didn't bother bring it to their attention.

So, right price, wrong product and wrong product description.

Anyone have success backing up 360 games? burned all 5 and they are all unplayable

blobert

Hmm, not such a great deal if they don't work...

Anyone else get them to work successfully?

Just tried one, seems to work fine. Was playing for about 10-15minutes.. Will try another later and post here.

I have a Hitachi Drive if people are curious.

DublinWriter

Just bought four boxes of them. There's about ten boxes left in Tesco Asbourne.

I kept the receipt just in case.

mailburner

and still none in galway
today was the third time ive tried in the last week

even pc world didnt have any whilst maplin
only have verbatim and they cost a bomb
think it was 32eu for 8

Amalgam

mailburner, I noticed only supersized Tesco stores seem to stock them.

These work grand for films, not tried data or 'other stuff'.

Media might not burn on burners over 2 years old, but you can edit\import media codes in to your burner's firmware using:

DVD Identifier (to show and copy the media code)

http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/

MediaCodeSpeedEdit tool for DVD-Writers

http://ala42.cdfreaks.com/MCSE/

To edit firmware and flash/update your drive to accept the media you wish to burn on.

I'm burning the Tesco DL on an LG GSA-4163B, which is over two years old now. The speed is 2.4x, but they burn just fine.

All the above are 'Free' to use, no piracy required.

Got a pack today.
I backed up two Video_TS DVD folders using these.
The first one worked without a problem.
Second disc failed during burning.
Third disc burned but had a problem in all players when the layers switched and had the look at the back of a disc burn gone wrong.
Nothing wrong with my hardware, it is a dual layer writer but just to be aware it is a gamble as to whether or not you'll get working discs.
I'm going to bring my pack back tomorrow and ask for a refund.
