Bluray disc recommendation

Post by damageinc »

We had this topic for blank dvds if I remember well... So which bluray disc brand would you recommend to use / have you used already?

I guess the usual quality brands (TDK, Maxell, Verbatim, Philips) are also decent like in dvds. However there might be other unknown but good ones besides those or something.

Important! Do NOT reply in this thread if you are against bluray and so on, cheers!

I use Verbatim and haven't really had a problem. Just make sure you read the specifics about your burner. Some only like LTH (low-to-high) discs. Verbatim makes both LTH and non LTH.

Thanks for the replies, so basically the standard brands are good at BD too. Cool. Think I'm going to buy Philips or Maxell because it's half of the price than a TDK or Verbatim.

depends what country you are from, prices vary. I find Verbatim to be more expensive, Sony is usually much cheaper and reliable. My first choice is always Sony cause of the price. But sometimes I've seen Verbatim prices be very low, I guess it depends. You have to watch out and get them while they are on sale.

I suggest getting them in store, if you buy them online then you will have to pay the ridiculous amount of shipping/tax/fees. Check your flyers for sales going in electronic stores
