Yeah I could of went nuts buying loads of DVD boxsets in the Play.com sale.... But insteed I just swooped in and got Ridge Racer 6 for my X-box 360 for £24.99

Not sure how good it is but I play the PSP version at work all the time so if it`s half as addictive then I`ve won a watch....

All in all it looks like a great sale.... just have to troll through all the sections to find what you are after.....

Well they are £8.99 now and out of stock. :/

thanks to the OP,I ordered the 3 for 2 DVD-R`s,that TV-off gadget thingy & 2 packs of batteries.
All despatched except the batteries(awaiting stock)

the batteries still haven`t arrived,the TV remote thing only worked after I had to change the batteries,& the Maxell DVD-R`s don`t work either.2 out of three 50 tubs opened,5 or 6 DVDs per tub tested,the burn won`t even start.

Anyone else had any problems with these DVDs?
Never had any probs with any other brand.(fwiw the drive is an nec ND-3500AG)

:) Hi DOHC, I got some of these Maxell DVD-R 16x Maxell DVDs and they only write at 4x, even though, Verbatim 16x write at 16x and Datawrite 8x write at 12x. I have emailed Maxell complaining about their write speed and I havn`t had a satifactory reply yet. :( although I havn`t had any burns rejected and I have used about 45, but you dont expect to at such a slow write speed. What speed where yours burning at?. :¦

Hi Pickless,thanks for the feedback.
Well the burn wouldn`t start at all,that was the thing.But I solved it by upgrading the firmware of the drive from 2.16 to 2.1A,& now Nero gives me the option to burn at speeds of up to 16 (which it did before anyway with other brands of media,.....but with these discs,before the firmware upgrade I had only 3 choices; 2x, 2.4X and max,none of which worked)
I always use 4x for DVDs anyway,& at that speed it burned fine after the firmware upgrade.So maybe you need to check for a firmware upgrade too?
Nero info tool reports that the discs are actually RITEKF1 by the way
