Default Verbatim Vinyl CD-R Discs

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...4I/jasondunn-20

It's stocking-stuffer season, and I think these CD-R discs look super-cool! Here's hoping Santa (and my wife) reads this site... :lol:



"Combining a retro look with the rugged quality and high-performance of today�s CD-R technology, Verbatim introduces Digital Vinyl CD-R, a recordable disc designed after the popular and groovy 45-rpm record format. These eye-catching discs are a great way to save delicate LP collections, burn your personal music mix or make a standout business presentation. The color-coded discs use Verbatim�s original Azo Blue technology for superior audio writing performance on CD burners and broad read compatibility on car CD players, home audio systems and portable CD players. Digital Vinyl CD-R�s are protected with a dual-layer anti-scratch coating that safeguards data for years to come and are backed by Verbatim�s Lifetime Warranty. So grab a blast from the past � Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-R."

Oh man, that is a great...they look really cool. And $10 for 10 isn't that bad a price either for specialty disks.

(vinyl brings back some childhood memories... well, until I was like, almost 18 maybe - when did CDs start coming out? 1985, or '88 or something?[/b]

Default Target has them

Target has these in their electronic department. They ain't cheap. About $10 for 10. Considering you can buy regular cdrs for $10 for 50 these days. Now maybe these will bring down the price of the color CDRs.

But I'm sure people will buy these as a novelty item. Actually it wouldn't be bad to use these to seperate your data cds from your audio cds. I get my data and audio cds mixed up all the time. I'm too lazy to label them properly sometimes.

I have a mini stereo system in our living room that plays CDs vertically behind clear plastic, meaning you can see the CDs as they play. Using these discs would make it look awesome!

Saw these in Business Depot here in Toronto on the weekend. They do look pretty cool. 10 Packs only, from what I could see. I don't remember how much they were though.

I haven't seen anything better than the picture that originated on the Verbatim site. Anyone seen them or a better picture? How much 45rpm record 'detail' do they have?
