Non-branded discs have no brands. Those who do not make their own discs
may put whatever they want into the package. As a result, two discs of
such a brand bought at the same time may be different formulations from
different manufacturers.
In that environment, what is "reliability"?

Might as well try a swap meet if you really want unbranded.

with a rebate. When I went to look at them, most were labelled at $19.95
with a few they missed at $9.95. I bought the $9.95 package which price
was honored at check out (no rebate). These discs have no indication of
manufacturer and the label side is completely plain and probably a very
thin coating. Don't yet know how well they work. BestBuy are selling 50
Memorex on a spindle for just under $19. In my opinion this would be a
much better buy.

I find your opinion a slightly puzzling. Granted you do not know
exactly what manufacturer makes the CompUSA disk (although they
are most likely Princo or ProDiscs), but you know equally little
about who makes those Memorex disks. Why would one batch of
unknown disks at double the price be a much better buy than
another? I guess it's the coating.
Anyway, my experience is that the Princos I've found in the
CompUSA packages work great.

The CompUSA generic discs were actually on sale for $9.95, with a $5.00
rebate off of that price, probably only for a single spindle.
Ironically, the brands used so far in the CompUSA generic spindle packs
(Princo and ProDisc) are generally better brands than what are found in
"name-brand" Memorex (Ritek or CMC) spindles.

Assuming that you mean blank discs with no silk screen logo of a
manufacturer on them or paint of any kind - just plain discs - CompUSA sells
unbranded 50 packs of Kodak Silver+Gold Ultimas w/Infoguard for $25.00. To
me, 50 cents a disc is a bargain for discs I know who made them and that I
know work reliably with my equipment. If you don't mind on-line purchasing,
the discs from
www.cd-recordable.com are high quality, reliable and available in a variety
of flavors. Nifty colors too.

The irony is, I once bought a 100-pack (two spindles) of Kodak Silver
Ultimas (branded), marked down to $50, and thought it was a great deal.
I would buy some of these "silver+gold" variety as well (same per-disc
price), but for some reason I haven't seen them at all in my local
CompUSA store. (Actually, I did see some, but they were only in 10-disc
packs with jewel cases, no spindles.)
I've heard MicroCenter carries them as well, might make a trip out there
sometime.
I don't purchase on-line, so cd-recordable.com is out.

on the shelf. When I was there right before Christmas, I didn't see
any at all, and I looked for them. I'll bet they just fly off the
shelves.

I went the day after Christmas and there had to be at least 20 packs of 50 -
probably more. Yikes! Gotta go it's almost New Year!

Any particular reason you don't purchase online? It is actually safer than
handing your credit card to someone that you do not even know. Do you eat out
at restaurants? Do you ever wonder where that waitress is headed with your
credit card when she disappears for about 3 to 5 minutes?
