Christopher Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Seems a bit more than the $3.30 they predicted for retail stores. Hopefully the price at the site doesn't reflect the average price for everywhere else. Thanks for the heads up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alieninhead Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Yes, let us hope. Sometimes company sites will make their items more money on their website/catalog to not cause issues with retailers. Hopefully that is what is happening here... ~a.i.h.

MDGB2 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Works out at around $6.99 per disc or £3.81 GBP. Still a reasonable price for what should be a 1GB re-writable storage media (and hopefully more reliable than CD-RW). :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alieninhead Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 The materials are, for sure. The method of compression and use of the magnetic write head...that may be questionable. ~a.i.h. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekdroid Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Works out at around $6.99 per disc or £3.81 GBP. Still a reasonable price for what should be a 1GB re-writable storage media (and hopefully more reliable than CD-RW). :smile: I dunno if I'd call $7 US per disc reasonable, but sure looks like a bargain compared to flashmedia.

But doesn't everything u wouldn't y is that? i think it's ok..cuz comparing the former 170 MB i think i'm not sure the exact size but the former was something in that range to 1000MB that's quite a lot for $7 no where else ur getting 1GB soo cheap..who knows that's probably y the units r soo expensive...

The units I can understand being expensive. In fact, both the units and the discs I can understand being overpriced at release. It's a new product, things always go that way. I'm sure they will drop in price by a lot in time, so no biggie. I just wouldn't want to be buying too many Hi-MDs at 7 bux a pop, that's all Still, I remember when MD came out the discs were far higher than that and I bought them, but a lot has changed since then on the storage front. I guess I'm spoiled by using DVD+RW as a reference point for price-for-capacity. Not entirely fair since MDs are smaller and likely a lot more reliable on the rewrites..
