How many blank DVD's did you buy?

It seems almost everyone got at least some, so, how many did you buy and roughly how much did you spend on them?

I got 400 blank DVD's (200 DVD-R and 200 DVD+R) for approx. $80.
Not too shabby!

None. Even FS restock, all gone within less than half hour. I still have some left over from last year [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=28]ncix[/rfdlink] Boxing Day sale so I don't really whole lot more.

50 Philips DVD-R's for $11.49 shipped. Haven't tried these before, so I didn't wanna get too many.

Edit: Okay, got another.

Why so much Rehan? I mean, that's still a good price, but with all the deals on at FS and BB, you could have went much cheaper.

What kind did you get?

6 - Philips DVD-R 50 Pack
6 - Philips DVD+R 50 Pack

As long as they're MCC and not CMC I'll be keeping them. I'll open 1 of each and if it's CMC, they'll be going back.

A package of 100 Maxells and another of 100 Fujis from FS. Recently I'd bought some spindles from blankmedia, so this should keep me going until next Boxing Day.
