How are those Cicero 100 DVD±R packs at Future Shop for $50?

Anyone tried these? Would they be any good for backing up not-very-essential stuff? I have four burners to choose from. :)

I never trust Cicero brand anything. In this case, the DVDRs are all made in Hongkong or China (I can't remember which now, but deffinatly not Taiwan). I'd stay away from them!

If it has to be cheap and OK or good quality, try Memorex media. See also this thread here: http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=17524
