Thank you for the price update, it has come down to $12US + shipping since
I looked the last time. That's close enough to ten Euro to pretty much
match. The price is still too high, careful buying gets DVD-R 4.7GB blanks
down to $0.40US, so DL blanks at 20 times that aren't reasonable backup
media.
I suppose that if you were copying a movie DVD or something it would make
sense, but many DVDs are on sale for less than the blank, so even that
depends on the cost of just buying a copy.
I hope the price will come down eventually, backups are still an issue.
