I always get my supplies of blank DVD-Rs, pudding case, even mouse from CD-R King. Their store has really evolved into a one-stop media shop for everyone. They even have flash drives, printer ink, UTP cables... And their prices are still cheap. How about you, what can you say about CD-R King? ^__^

i just get my blanks discs from them, nothing else, its just that i always believe in "what you pay is what you get" its not that im saying they're products are inferior to others, i just want the things that i buy to last long.

no problem. i just heard that there are a lot of "knock-off" memory chips being sold and labeled with known names like sony MS or sandisk SD mems. so its really hard to distinguish the original from them, so basically i choose a product with a long warranty, lets say about a year then that would give you an idea that they're selling the "real" thing

I have not yet made a purchase from CD-R King but am raring to make my first transaction soon. I think I'll go with a 1 GB flash drive for six hundred bucks (pesos that is) and a SD card (128 minimum) for my digital camera. Might as well get an optical mouse while at it.
I do hope I don't end up buying lemons.

I've been buying from this store since college (around 4 years ago...) and I can assure you that they're selling good products at very reasonable prices. XD And just like what was previously posted, you can return/exchange the product in case it's defective. ^__^ Although I haven't bought a flash drive yet -- but my dad did. =)

This store has all the media i need in super low low prices! Is it only in the philippines?? Imagine buying your 516MB flask disk for only P399 while a 1G is roughly P600. I love buying re-writable/recordable CDs there with cute prints for only 7 pesos a piece compared to buying it in school supplie store for 30 pesos. I recently bought a computer mouse, i thought its expensive i was shocked to find out i only payed 120 pesos for it. What a bargain! I can't complain so far about all the things i already bought there.

They really made such an impact here in Manila. Yes, I also had that experience where I bought the same blank CD in the mall for 300% more than that in CD-R King. And they really do have cute designs in their CDs. I remember those cute mini-discs that sell in sun ray designs, etc. And they also have Disney designs now, like Winnie the Pooh, Mickey, Donald Duck. Have they partnered with Disney? lolz!

Same here, whenever I need something for my pc, I would know where I go. I got blank CD-Rs, iPod, flash drives, bluetooth, printer, and printer inks from CD-R King. Their products come in good quality and reasonable prices.

Here in General Santos, CD-R Queen. Im not kidding, is there any relation between them? Anyways i like buying cd's, flash drives and ink. I bought a flashdrive 1 gb worth 1280 last christmas, now they lower their price it is now available for 900, unfair. LOL. The Cds, DVD's are good but its not that durable not like verbatim or imation cd;s and dvds.

Oh really?! that's cool! haha! hmm, i wonder if they're related, though. or maybe they got the idea from CD-R King and decided to establish something like it there. it's still cool, though, at least you get to have someplace where you can buy electronics/media stuff at a lower price =)

Hi meleshia! wElcome to myLot!
I love CD-R king that is where I buy my mic with a stand and also the one piece mic that I send to my husband onboard and oh! the photopaper for my printing needs as well.
I only discover the shop 2 months ago for It was my first time to roam around gilmore area and someone told me that CD-R king is one of the best shop for computer accesories and supplies and it is true because I'm a satisfied customer.

Great! So, how was their mic products? Are they good or do they wear out in a short time? I hope not. XD You can find CD-R King in most malls today - not just in Gilmore. They mushroomed everywhere in recent years. haha! Most schools/universities have one outside the campus and also most SM malls. Enjoy shopping! and thank you for replying. XD

Yes, I always buy blank CD's from them but I don't buy their other for sale items because I am not confident with the brand. I think of their other items as pirated. :D
I remember the days where CD-R King has only one branch. During that time, they have the cheapest CD's for sale compared to other stores and if I remember correctly they were the only one who sells generic blank CD's.

I don't usually buy their other stuff but not because I treat them as pirated but only coz I don't need them yet. For me, I think of it as "generic". Their brand name is CD-R King and most functions the same as with other branded products - like HP/Epson photopaper, Epox bluetooth dongle, etc. I think one of the reasons why their stuff are cheaper is that you don't pay for the brand name. ^_^ If ever I'll need one, I won't hesitate to but from CD-R King. Too bad they're not accepting franchising. haha! Btw, Thanks for responding! XD

Count me in! *you know why I'm replying to your discussions* I used to buy only blank cds/dvds and because of my high headphones-usage rate, I bought headphones there, too ^^ But I have a really "busy" schedule I can't find the time to go there. And the branches I go to are so far from home _ Hope they multiply some more XD

We always purchase cd's,keyboards,mouse,webcams at CDR king for our internet cafe. They really sell cheap stuff. But though it's cheap,items are still of high quality. A really "must see" store.. :)

Yah I buy CD-R king products. I usually buy blank CD's and DVD's. I also bought some other products like mouse, headset and still planning to buy some gadgets. Their flash drives and hard dish enclosures are nice and very affordable. And I'm planning to buy one. They are really the One-Stop Media Provider. Only in the philippines.

Yeah, I buy most of my CDs from CDR King but I sometimes doubt the quality of their CDs. I've encountered some CDs that made Nero make an error message so whenever I want to burn important stuff, I buy the expensive ones at the mall just to be at the safe side but when I'm just burning ordinary stuff, I use their CDs. I also like the price of their memory cards.
