Jimma Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Afternoon all.I thought all the British MD users out there might like to know that Sainsburys has just cut the price of Sony 80 minute blanks to £1.49 for a pack of five!This of course bodes badly for the continued support for Minidisc by Sainsburys, but at under 30p a disc, it's good news for those of us who want to stock up on cheap blanks for future use.Jimma.

kino170878 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Thanks! Is this in every branch of Sainsburys, or only a few? Being in London should hopefully mean I should get my hands on a few of them at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Having recently moved back to the UK, I appreciate this tip! - Better yet there is a new branch of Sainsbury's that opened down the road from me yesterday. I will have to investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Indeed, thanks for the tip, hopefully I'll pick up a few when I pop in for my baked beans and cat food! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to try some other branches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimma Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would doubt any new branches would have any, but all the well established large stores I've been to seem to stock them. I shouldn't think they'll be re-stocking after this though.The branch I was in yesterday (Camberley) had about fifteen or so packs left after I left.

Arr-Nine-Hundred Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Argh! None of the big stores around me (Southampton, Hampshire) have any left. I've tried phoning at least 3 big Sainsburys to no avail. One Sainsburys store near me that does just furniture and electrical goods told me they did have them but had sold out. Damn!I'm up towards Slough in a weeks time and will try some of the stores around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jupitreas Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Amazon.co.uk stocks a lot of very cheap blank MDs and Hi-MDs. Its usually worth paying the additional postage cost since some stores sell blank MDs for one pence, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levanel Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Do they still sell MD in Japan? I thought I read somewhere on the boards that MD was permanently not being sold anymore except in those back-alley hard-to-find stores..
