16xDVD-RAM? Well I'd hate to think what price the disks are, 2-3x disks are Â£4.00+ each here, dont fancy Â£10+ each per disk.

In Germany costs a DVD-RAM 3x from Verbatim 3 â‚¬

...don't know where you are shopping but even on the high street you can pickup multipacks of DVD-RAMs where they workout around Â£2 each. Hardly expensive...
