Blu Ray media prices

[JoeThePhotographer]

Has anyone researched any of the new low-priced media to find out if it's acceptable for long term storage?  I see it going for $3 a disk at newegg, which is within my budget, finally.

Joe,
I've been buying the Memorex - I see them now on Amazon for under $3

So far, I have been doing a data validation for each disc I burn, and checking them periodically. No errors yet, but it has only been a year. (Process described in a movie on the dpBestflow site:

They are now less than $2 at Amazon but get poor reviews.  I wonder what your experience has been with them.
