Not sure why you'd want to go for third world countries, but let's look at Germany (Aldi is one of the two biggest discounters here): http://www.presseportal.de/pm/112096/2653870/aldi-senkt-preise-fuer-fischprodukte-oel-und-smoothies CD-R Rohlinge (80 Minuten, je 50er Spindel) 5,99 Euro DVD+R Rohlinge (je 20er Spindel) 3,99 Euro That is 0.12 EUR per CDR and 0.20 EUR per DVD. > DVD readers/writers are cheaper now than CD readers/writers ever were. I don't think it makes sense to ask for the price of one media (which is in Cents), but then assume that the extra cost for a new DVD reader is negligible.
