Well, it is pretty obvious they have been dumping them on the market. 
The prices here in Canada are close to zero with rebates.  And that's 
with a $.21 levy/disk on them, being paid to "top 40" musicians and 
record companies for "loss of revenue" due to CD-Rs being used to 
'illegally' record CDs.

I was wondering about why the problem was just CD-RW, but you have now 
corrected that statement.

Of course, if everyone panics and buys up the store stock on hand, the 
prices will probably go up... a little self-fulfilling prophecy.
