Don't know if its mentioned already, I got one from BJs yesterday for $169. The bundle comes with Need for Speed, Offroad Fury2, Splashdown with extra dualshock2 controller.

I must have been drunk or something ( I was ) :)) . Thanks!

Where are they selling these? I called 4 local ODs here in RTP NC, they are like Roo... what?? They have no idea what it is. I've been looking for Discovery under $200 for some time. BJ's had one model for 199 but its not Discovery, some older model.

Its not about getting a coaster. Ever since they came up with buffer underrun protection, I never saw coasters. You can have a successful burn still end up with a bad disc. I stopped buying cheap/noname media long time ago. Just not worth it. Whats the point of backing up something if you can't...

I bought a 200 GB Seagate after reading how quiet and reliable they are etc etc. I have to say I'm disappointed. Its noisy (compared to my 120 GB WD), slow and makes clicking noises all the time that makes me uncomfortable leaving anything important on it. Got a replacement and it has same...

I got my last Seagate rebate in 3 weeks, just when I was about to say heck with MIR.

you got a reason to brag dude. Thats a heck of a deal.

Nothing spectacular IMO. Had trouble recognizing some of my hardware when I tried a year ago ( and I don't have any fancy hardware). Much better free distros out there. I'm one of those who don't understand why people want Linux to look like Windows. If I want Windows look and feel, I'll use...

Has anyone noticed both rebates ($30, $30) are from WD? I talked to Outpost and they say both rebates are from WD and one requires original and other requires copy of receipt. Sounds kind of goofy. I cancelled my order.

Had same experience with Amazon. Badly packaged, spindle was broken and several discs were damaged. Didn't return though, discs were MCC, so decided to keep the order. Didn't get any credit for damanged discs.

You mean burn at 12x without crc errors, right? whats the manuf id? MCC/CMC/?

Probably. That doesn't necessarily mean bad though. FWIW, I have had good experience with Ridata/Ritek discs even when were not Ricohjpn. But generally, I would consider discs from Japan to be of better quality.
