    Free PC Photo Magazine - No CC Req

    Apparently the additional mag subscriptions that pop-up are in addition to the pc photo magazine.

    Verbatim Blank 20 Pack DVD-R Media w/ Printable Tops for $24.23 @ Staples. Normally $250.00?

    Mine was cancelled as well for the same reason. I just went back online (same price still) and reordered to a Canadian address. The price went up a bit for PST and GST, but still way below anything else available. LG
