    ZipCD 12x10x32 w/ Burnproof for $99.99

    tran1981.....I think the Bestbuy pricematch requires it to be in stock does it not? I know the Santa Clara store is out...my friends got the last one. Hopefully you know one that will have it tomorrow morning, else you might be out of luck.

    ZipCD 12x10x32 w/ Burnproof for $99.99

    I bought from Santa Clara, and I'm pretty sure the sale is going on here too. But, San Jose is pretty far..... ;-)

    ZipCD 12x10x32 w/ Burnproof for $99.99

    If you look at the executables for the Plextor firmware (PXfirm.exe), they look to be the same file across the entire drive line. Nowhere in the executables (as far as I can see) does the drive identifier string come in. The identifier seems to solely be supplied by the .ini file for that...

    ZipCD 12x10x32 w/ Burnproof for $99.99

    I just downloaded the Plextor Firmware and looked at how it works. Looked at the .ini file it extracts (in the Temp directory), and it has the line: Inquiry=PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A; Could the solution be as simple as changing this to match the Iomega drive's value? Let me know if someone...

    ZipCD 12x10x32 w/ Burnproof for $99.99

    I just went to my local store, and the clerk was nice enough to ask if I *really* wanted to buy it today. I said with a knowing grin that I did. He then subversively told me that it was going on sale Sunday. I think that's pretty classy of their employees. I'd hate to be someone who actually...

    Actually, I think the restocking only applies if you open the product. Otherwise, it's their standard 14 policy

    Wow.....that sucks. I would have thought they wouldn't have charged you. What I'd try is hitting 0, getting to their corporate phone directory, and getting the extension of someone in customer service. If you can't do that anymore, please email me: *email removed* Post if you want it again...

    Sadly, I went through these motions a week or so ago. I too ordered early on (at least earlier than those who got it). Couldn't get them on phone, email, etc., so I went in person to their offices. Spoke to Mr. Martinez, and got the run-around I expected. Wrote them a nice letter, to which...

    Seeing as how everyone is suddenly getting their stuff "shipped", I'm wondering if I had misunderstood what everyone was complaining about. Was there anyone but me who ordered the HRS9600 vcrs, had an order number below 10580, AND did not get them? Seems like a few of you who I...

    Well, here's a good reason why me may not hear from anyone at MassMerchandise: News Don't know whether to be happy or sad. Kinda puts a new spin on reasons why we're having so much difficulty.

    Steve, I still don't even have THAT :-) Still "pending" for me. Depending on whether on not someone actually responds to me by early this week, I'm going to send them a complaint email. If you want me to email you a copy of what I write, just drop me a note.

    It's official (at least from what I got): We've been shafted. I went down there, and spoke to someone on the phone (from their lobby). They are out of the HRS9600 vcrs, and will NOT be getting anymore. They apologize to us, and assured me that my card had not been charged (like that was what...

    Steve, Looks like you're getting the same thing I am! I'm actually about 30 below YOURS and still getting shafted. Mine is still "Shipment pending" as well. Both of their lines (800 and 408 numbers) go to the same thing.....that menu of 2 choices. I finally left a message in the...
