Memorex starts selling double-sided mini DVD-R discs

[Pinnacle]

Memorex has started selling double-sided miniature recordable DVD-R discs. The discs can store 1.4 GB per side for a total of 2.4 GB per disc. Each disc is coated with Memorex's "DuraLayer" film that protects the data against dust and scratches.

Memorex is currently selling the double-sided mini DVD-Rs in packages of five for $20.

I like the idea but the price needs to drop to $1 apiece or less

These have been around for quite a while (granted not memorex) with both single and double-sided being around $1 for generic or around $2 for the scratch guard. Considering regular dvd pricing the only use of these is really for camcorders.

Sure, generic brands, but it can't be any worse than Memorex. :rolleyes:

Ya, turtle. I thought I saw them also. Maybe memorex wants to bring back old tech and get credit ;)
