Has anyone seen the new HP CDRs?

I just saw an ad for HP 48x 700MB CDR's on a BJ's Wholesale Club circular.

The last time I bought HP CDRs about a year ago, they were rated 16x but were TY. I am hoping to find the "Made in Japan" label on these new ones, but was wondering if anyone has seen them on the shelves lately.

Yeah, I posted a while back. They are, unfortunetly, Made In Taiwan.

Thanks for the info. Too bad they are "Made in Taiwan".

And the packaging looks eerily similar to that of CMC.

I can almost certainly guarentee that they are made by CMC. In my last job, one of our main CD-R suppliers was www.mobiltech.net and they ONLY ever brought in CMC media. Now I see that they are importing massive amounts of HP 48x CD-Rs, so I have difficulty believing that they would ave switched to a different manufacturer after many years of using CMC media only. I may know more later though, since I plan to re-initialize my contact with them :wink:
