Not sure why you'd want to go for third world countries, but let's look
at Germany (Aldi is one of the two biggest discounters here):
http://www.presseportal.de/pm/112096/2653870/aldi-senkt-preise-fuer-fischprodukte-oel-und-smoothies
CD-R Rohlinge (80 Minuten, je 50er Spindel) 5,99 Euro
DVD+R Rohlinge (je 20er Spindel) 3,99 Euro
That is 0.12 EUR per CDR and 0.20 EUR per DVD.

I don't think it makes sense to ask for the price of one media (which is
in Cents), but then assume that the extra cost for a new DVD reader is
negligible.
