I really like the looks of these, the "Plain" looks straight and to the point with a hi-tech look at the same time. I'll definatly buy some when they are released for sale.

This is getting ridiculous. Companies still producing conventional minidiscs!

Why would anyone put their faith in a format, when the old minidiscs are far easier to get hold of - you'd be forgiven for thinking that Hi-MD doesn't exist.

Go on Sony, just give us a reason to stick with Hi-MD and we'll do it :D

Seriously though, these look proper nice. If they we're Hi-MD I'd be all over them. Unfortunately I've got about 400 conventional minidiscs that are sat gathering dust.

I wonder if you could just split the halves of the case take out the disc and replace with hi-md ones. That would be an easy solution, too bad after examining the md it seems difficult.

think someone has done this before in the pictorials or how to do section

Nope it is very easy to do. I had some pics of the three discs I did, but the pics are long

gone now. I did two Niege discs and one Hello Kitty disc up as HiMD discs. I am getting a bunch of WA discs and plan on changing at least one of them to HiMD.
