Optodisc is seriously out to lunch with their pricing.. either that or NCIX is taking a BIG cut.
Not really...
Fuji/Maxell/Sony are nuts, selling product to Futureshop/Bestbuy at $0.25ea (CAD), when their own costs aren't much better then that. So you get some deals like the FUJI's for $0.40ea. It's all just media dumping, so it skews perspectives on pricing. But Optodisc's A Grade media prices are cheaper then Prodisc's A Grade media prices, as well as Ritek (although Ritek is confusing when you start talking about media grades and pricing) and others.
So basically, what you're saying is that Optodisc's media is too high priced, because no one down the supply chain is selling it below cost. Well, tough
It's very frustrating when big box stores set a precidence for selling media below cost. It destroys legitimate competition, and messes up the whole media market.
