Thanks for all the feedback guys.
And SlickVic78:
I ended up buying a 30ct. Verbatim DataLife DVD+R spindle from Sam's Club. It cost $46 and some odd cents USD. It's only 4X, but that doesn't mean they won't burn @ 8X. That remains to be seen...I'll let you know. But $47 for 30 Verbatim 4X DVD+R is pretty reasonable from what I've seen (about $1.57 ea.). Still, let me know if you see the 8X cheap.
