i use CDs a lot and sometimes single layer DVDs, have no use for dual layer for data but i have blu ray for my blu ray player [movies HD]

(Lightscribe) 4.7GB DVDs for me.

Cheap 700mb CD's work for me.

Normally just cheap 700mb ones.

You actually spent $469.99+ on a Blu-Ray DVD burner / player?

I use my USB flash drive the most. CDs come in second place, then finally DVDs.

Cheap 700mb CDs, occasionally cheap 4.7GB DVD-Rs. Never used HD DVD or BluRay--and I'll be holding out until it's decided like VHS v. BetaMax and DVD v. DivX.

700mb CDs for me.

ohh yeah i forgot, how much do you buy the optical discs for??? i get 50 - 700Mbs for like 20$ USD.

Regular CD's (700 mb) for anything, but picture backups and stuff go on 4.7 GB DVDs .

I get either a 50 pack for $8, or a 50 Pack of HP Discs for $11.

in pounds right?

If it says 8$, I don't think he means pounds.

I use DVDs much more than CDs
DVDs i use to ma linux and movies (Home made)

No USD.

50 Pack for £4 or $8
50 Pack of HP Discs for £5.50 or $11

Approximate prices, the HP ones might be £5.44 or something like that, can't remember exact prices - but it gives a general idea.

is that without shipping? i get mine for 20$ in the store with like tax and everything included.

Those are some really heavy discs.

dont spam u have to read the next post saying USD. its the currency lol.

Oh. I wasn't thinking about the currency from the other side of the world.

Shipping is $5 for the $8 ones, and $8 for the $11 ones.

But that shipping is per order, and as I spend up to around $150 per order, it doesn't add much. When, I am busy I might be ordering once every few weeks, so I just add the CD's to the order.



I've had the pounds, weight and heavy replies so many times, your not the first.

4.7GB Dvd'd and normal CD's it will take some time until HD-DvD and Blu-Ray get standard. there is no game, program etc. which needs 25GB at the moment
~It Is Over

I know enough 4.7GB+ games, though two DVD disks should do for those.

I'm siding with HD-DVD for now, mainly because I dislike sony (excluding psp ). But there is also a sub-$200 hd-dvd player on the market (thank you diggnation). Also, isn't 25gb overkill?

EDIT:oshi 50gb

My Sonic program needs 4.7GB discs
I want to use 700MB but cannot...

25GB is good if u have a HD video camera and then the most u get out of those HDs is 30 GB so yeah u might not even fill up the HD.

I usually use either normail 4.7GB DVDs or 800MB CDs. I've never used a 700MB one though.

Ah!

Lightscribe, 9.4GB DVDs for me!

Your question is vague though. Obviously, I'll use more CDs than DVDs. But my laptop can make what I wrote above .

how much are the 800MB CDs? what is lightscribe? describe how u use lightscribe, never used it ever before.

I don't think blu ray is built for computers.

It's an HD format, and if you want to put HD on your PC it will take an unbelievable amount of time.

Not much really. I think you can get a 50 pack for somewhere around 15 bucks.

Nobody mention 800mb CDs.
Lightscribe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightscribe

Lightscribe DVDs can be labeled by special Lightscribe DVD burners, like mine.

Blu ray = epic fail. Theres no point in getting blu ray imho. I probally use dvds the most, for backup etc etc. Then Cd-rs for music.

no you just need a nvidia gefoce 8800 a BLU ray burner for computer and thats all cause the burner can read Blu ray. and duh blu ray is for HD peoples its not just a normal disc. the computer store locks them up!!! with the CPUS!!!! thats why i dont know how much blu ray is.

Sorry, I set a pile of money on fire yesterday. Don't take me for an idiot, because I'm not one. HD isn't a social class, by the way.

BluRay isn't for [massive]HD[/massive] it's for data storage, it's an OPTICAL DISK.

wikipedia: A Blu-ray Disc (also called BD) is a high-density optical disc format for the storage of digital information, including high-definition video.

lol pwnt
