Yes, but that's not the point.

Blank DVDs are cheaper, and have far greater capacity.

if u have one of those fancy ghost burner's, u do'nt need to texta stuff on cd

 

[Lexicographer]

Ian can you link to one of those? I wanna know how much they cost

 

[memo]

The sony ones only work on sony burners and only can be read using the same burners. Quite useless now with DVD-RW drives below 200$

hmm...never heard of such thing. :s

No they used to sell them for PC, but they werent around for long enough for me to even remember who made them. (Either TDK or Sony, but not sure.)
Googling is too hard for that as well.

They used to burn a crappy, faded image onto the cd.
fat: was it only on the parts not written to as well?

I always thought Yamaha made those burners that etched on a design onto the CD...
