Folks, I'm having a heck of a time finding DVD-RW disks? (For backups on my G5).

Does anyone know where you can get these at a decent price? Fry's didn't stock them. (Only the DVD+RWs). CompUSA had some 5 packs, but a single brand at an obsene price (about 2X the price for the DVD+RWs). I picked up one box, but I feel dirty for paying that.

Is this a regional thing, or are these disks simply THAT unpopular?

(As for the format itself, I love it! The DVD-R works on my DVD player while the DVD+R does not.) :-)
