Looking for some cheap Dual Layer Bluray media (BD-R DL) .. - Blu-ray Forum

Hi guys, well I just recently got a bluray burner with my new laptop, and I'm looking for some cheap Dual Layer 50GB Bluray media (BR-R DL). The cheapest I've found so far are about $5-$6 a piece, are they are the following:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160539677845

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130466452387

But these items come all the way from Japan, and that's gonna take a while to come, especially when the recent happenings over there ...

Do I have any other, preferably even cheaper options which also ship out from somewhere in Europe maybe, if not from within US ?

I dont mind if it burns at 2x max or something .. I intend to burn at 2x anyways to get a better burn ..

Thanks in advance people ..

If you are going to be backing up Blu-ray Movies you don't want to skimp on the Media. One of the choices you have is Verbatim, which is all I use, but this one says Repackaged. You should only want the best for your Blu-ray Movie Back-ups.

Yes but I dont want to buy media which is almost just as expensive as the original bluray movie itself ..

What do you buy though, may I ask ?

Like I said, all I use is Verbatim, BD-R 25Gb and BD-R DL 50Gb. I have been backing up DVD's now for many years and now Blu-ray Movies. I back it up at full resolution and enjoy watching my Back-ups more than the originals, I don't have to sit through all that stuff at the beginning. I also use eBay to buy my Media, and have used some Sellers from Japan, but stay away from the Repackaged ones.

Alright thanks for that input .. Whats the problem with repackaged media though ?

Can you give me a link to what you buy ? Also, any decent (and preferably cheap) BDR-DL media on eBay worth buying, even if its from Japan or somewhere else ?
