sallymae_hogsby Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) I normally order my 1GB discs from RecordingStore.com. My latest order was cancelled with this message:Unfortunately the Sony HMD1G are backordered with no ETA at this time. We have cancelled your order and a full refund has been issued.I know I can still get the discs at MiniDisco, but do you think the supply is starting to dry up?

BIGHMW Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Unfortunately the Sony HMD1G are backordered with no ETA at this time. We have cancelled your order and a full refund has been issued.I know I can still get the discs at MiniDisco, but do you think the supply is starting to dry up?I am sure that you can still get blank Hi-MD's at MiniDisco, but, the primary single disc code number for them has changed, it is the HMD1GL (2nd generation, Blue Series), not HMD1G (first generation). Those were discontinued when the second generation Hi-MD blanks came out back in 2006. Edited May 20, 2008 by BIGHMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasdisr Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 tapeandmedia.com still shows stock on 1GB discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallymae_hogsby Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 looks like it, how much at recordingstore.com?Here's the direct link to the item:http://www.recordingstore.com/digital_audi...d__hi_md_/1605/(not including shipping - in the US, it came out lower than Minidisco.)They obviously still have it listed, in spite of my canceled order, so they apparently haven't given up on getting more in the future. I ordered (and received) a batch around 4 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzilli Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 There are still a lot of 1gb discs to be had, on line retailers, ebay etc. The question, I guess, is for how much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may therefore continue selling Hi-MD discs after the RH1 is officially stopped, however I think it is quite likely that these will only be obtainable through "professional" distributors and retailers. The supply in other words will dry up, but not altogether. Edited May 21, 2008 by kino170878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 they still make blank cassette tapes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsleftofj Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I was quite let down when the Sony Style store near my house stopped selling mindiscs late last year, although (as you all have stated) they're quite readily available online still.
