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.
Hey belthazor,
Wow... That isn't bad at all for Verbatim. Looks like I may have to hit up a Sam's Club.
Thanks for the info!

As of right now, there is no firmware upgrade that will bump the burn speed up on -R's to 8x. And as far as I know, I don't think I have seen Plextor giving out a firmware upgrade to increase burn speeds. But if they do, someone please let me know...
Right now it is up to 1.03.
