Good place to get dvd's/bluray's in bulk at DVinfo.net

Just wondering where everyone buys their media. The place I usually use doesn't seem to be any more competitive than micro center down the street.

Depends how many you get through over a fixed period of time and your storage space, generally I buy in batches of 25 or 50 discs from online sources.

Probably a good idea to stock up now, since all the damage in Japan will no doubt cause a price rise.

Look at Amazon, they have good discounts and I like reviews.

I buy my DVD tapes always online. My local Sams club has the best price on bulk printable regular DVD's so that is the only media I buy locally.

For Blu-ray's I search Amazon then either use google or pricegrabber or nextag to search for the best deals. I recently bought online two different brands of printable Blu-ray media in 30 qty for about one dollar each.

I'd be wary of buying the cheapest bulk from an untested source which may appear to be good value now.

When I first started to produce DVDs I sourced the lowest price 'A' grade discs and never had a fail, however now some six or seven years later I am getting a number of those returned to me. They have played without problem until recently but have suddenly become unplayable. None of them are physically damaged and as far as I am aware they have been stored in their case. I believe that they dye is starting to deteriorate. A saving of a few £s or $s may seem favourable at the time but although you can't be 100% certain of the longevity of any media is a small saving worth the potential 'timebomb' of it becoming unusable later on.

I just saw I had a goofy typo in my post I am quoting above. I meant to say "I buy my DV tapes always online". I use the basic Sony mini DV tapes and Amazon almost always has incredible prices on them from several of their vendors and I have never had a problem.

I also have never had a problem with the printable DVD media I buy at Sams club in 100 qty. bulk.
