It sounds like the US office isn't as well informed as they'd like. Mine came from SuperMediaStore, who buys theirs directly from TY in Japan.

I wrote to the Taiyo Yuden office and asked them who the legitimate distributors of their products (in North America) are and they said this: "Here are our direct distributors. ZEI MEDIA PLUS 800-561-2469 (QC, Canada) MICROBOARDS 800-646-8881 (US) DISC MAKERS www.discmakers.com *ULTRA series Uline www.uline.com" Just wondering if the disks you got were from one of those folks? That way, we know that we can refer to the photos you posted and know that those are REALLY Taiyo Yuden disks. I’m wondering where you got your Taiyo Yuden media from?

Just got TY CDs. Which side is up -- the white or the bluish shiny?? There are no markings on disks. As white side is up in the cake box, I presume that's how they are put in disk drive?? Joan Help!! Just got TY CDs. Which side is up — the white or the bluish shiny?? There are no markings on disks.

As white side is up in the cake box, I presume that’s how they are put in disk drive??

Newegg has also recently started selling it, and they are a reliable vendor. I've bought my last several batches of DVD+R's from Rima, as they cost a bit less that SMS, and these are the real thing.
