I'm actually not in a position to buy any at the moment, but I was curious....how expensive is it now? (I remember it being around $12+ a disc)

You can get top of the line Verbatim ones for $25 for 10pk so $2.5/pc.

Ooh, that's not bad. Do they sell them in smaller bundles like three packs, or is 25 the minimum?

Unless you have a fancy schmancy TV where quality MUST remain PERFECT, you can easily get away with backing up your 9 GB DVDs to 4.7 GB. I use DVD Shrink and it almost always works perfectly with great results and no noticeable quality loss. I use Taiyo Yuden media, cheap from NCIX.com and no coasters so far, with at least 50 burns.

You can just buy 3 but then it's not as good of a deal. I think it becomes like 3-4 bucks a disc.

I don't have a fancy shmancy TV, and when I did that with Hunt for Red October, it was noticeable. (
You hit the nail on the head though. Doing 11 double layered DVD copies was what I was wondering about. )

That's still a hell of a lot cheaper than I thought. If that's regular price, I guess I might eventually find it cheaper on sale somewhere. +KMA to you for the info.
