First post so go easy! Not an amazing deal but still a good price.

Needed some blank DVDs. Have been using Verbatim's for years and find them very reliable. Always go for inkjet printable ones as I print my own labels. A bit hard to find these days though. Woolies, Coles, K-mart and Officeworks don't seem to stock them anymore and rather stock inferior brands. Came across this deal at Harvey Norman which seemed pretty good. Cheaper than a lot of other online retailers and computer places (CPL was the next cheapest I found at $20).

Free click-and-collect or delivery is $5.95 (for my postcode at least).

Plenty in stock at Harvey Norman Maribyrnong.

    Ritek being a well known brand however I have had all brands fail on me including Verbatim

  • hollykryten on 12/03/2015 - 17:14

    I remember paying $15 for these some times on sales around 5 years ago. I don't think it's worth $19 now that BD-R discs are more mainstream and DVD-R is now like how CD-R was when DVD-R came out.

    Was at Big W about a week ago and picked up a pack of 10 Verbatim BD-R for $15 on clearance. Much better deal.

      Except nobody I know has a Bluray drive in their computer, so it would be useless for swapping information.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2015 - 18:58

        USB, email, cloud storage. Not sure what you would need to "swap" on DVD other than burning ISO images

          Have you ever tried to get a USB drive back from somebody? I've lost track of the number I've lent to people then they've disappeared. Many corporate networks won't allow outside internet access so I can't email things to people, and cloud storage is a joke (except jokes are supposed to be funny.) DVDs are still necessary in many places.

          @greenie4242: Most of the things I want to back up won't fit on a 4.7GB DVDR. The smaller things for transferring to someone, it's better and more convenient to put on a USB stick. It's too small to put on DVDR.

          You're arguing about the previous price of a product, by using the price a different brand product to backup your claim?

        Ah, memories ;-)
        I still haven't used any of the 50 DVD-R packs from that $2 deal. Rarely use a PC anymore to need those for backups.

        There were so many good $2 DS deals… also bought Remington hair clipper set, Remington groomer set, 100 led solar/mains lights, answer machines, ADSL 2+ Wall Phone Filter, 100 CDR etc

        Also available were
        VERBATIM DVD+R Inkjet Printable 100 pack for $20, BR recordable pack for $2, $2 DVD players…

    Seems good for those of us that want a real or hard copy of stuff. Got to use decent brands.

    I'm old school and still have cassette tape (probably never use again), 5.25" and 3.5" floppy (have used in last year) as well as Zip drive (used in last year) and CD & DVD backups (used recently).

    Cloud could be gone/hacked tomorrow. Need secure offsite/off-net backups. I also do larger usb HDD (2TB) backups as well. DVDs are great for quick secure non hackable copies of stuff.

      Don't take nude selfies, and you won't have to worry so much about cloud getting hacked. Also, hackers aren't interested in you. They only want celeb pics.

  • lostn on 13/03/2015 - 00:15

    I bought these years and years ago for $15 at HN. Stocked up big time. But now I don't use these any more. I just use external HDDs, and pray they don't die on me. Back then the cost per GB for DVDRs was a lot cheaper than HDDs, but that's no longer the case. HDD is cheaper now. HDD is also more convenient and saves space. It's downside though is that it can fail.

    Does anyone (still) actually print their DVDRs? I always found it to be a mega waste of ink. If you're burning movies, they never look legit. Games these days are mostly digital. The stuff I burned were not movies or games, so there was nothing to print on them. I had to use a permanent marker, which is not good on printable discs. So I always preferred non printables.

    Worked for Dick Smith years ago, we struggled to get rid of 100pks of these for $25 3-4 years ago. Surprised any B&M retailers are still stocking much blank media.
