    Free Big Mac at McDonalds after 10PM

    So back to the topic. If I buy something as small as, let's say chicken mcnugget sauce which is worth about 25 cents, they'd give me a free big mac? If so, gat dang, that's a steal!

    Great deal on sweet looking MP3 player but it looks like 1000 people already signed up. I'm given a measly discount of $45 off the player which makes the price $279.95!! I wish I were one of those people that woke up super early on Sunday....

    Athlon 64 3000+ at 54-60C Idle?! Please help!

    My cousin is having trouble cooling his new Athlon 64 3000+. He writes: I currently built my new rig a couple weeks ago. I'm running an Athlon 64 3000+ on a Gigabyte K8NS Pro motherboard.

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    In response to everyone that's having trouble with Nero recognizing this media, flash your NEC drive's firmware to the official 1.09. I said this somewhere in this thread but I guess it got lost in the discussion. I was able to burn six discs that were perfect physically and they all come out...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    You want to shrink to a folder on your hdd. A friend of mine had the same question and was ripping his discs to an .ISO file. When the encoding is complete, open up Nero. Under the question: "Which recorder would you like to use?", select the tab that has the name of your DVD burner drive...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Yeah I get the exact same thing. The only thing I can think of is using one of Herrie's hacked firmwares. People said they were able to burn these discs with their NEC 1300A's with 1.08, but since we both had no luck in doing so, they are either using another program to burn the discs or they...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Yeah I'm using DVDShrink to rip the movies but Nero 5.5, using an NEC-1300A with 1.08 firmware, still doesn't recognize the discs.

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    I tried backing up a movie with these discs but Nero says that they are illegal media. I have an NEC 1300A with 1.08 firmware and Nero 5.5. Not only are 20 physically bad, I can't even burn with the 30 good ones I have! Anyone have the same problem?

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Received my order of 50 DVDs today, only to find out that 20 of them were physically bad. There are regions on the disc where there are darker shades of purple. Has anyone else received these discs in their packs and if so, were you able to perfectly backup a movie? I don't even want to waste...

I showed her the rain check with the substitution policy and later called her supervisor to find out what to do. She then told me that her supervisor said that...

    seagate barracuda plus 120gb 8mb cache $59.99 AMIR

    When I sent in my rebate form, I believe I just put the product number. Should be something like: ST3120026A. When you're sending in the UPC, just cut out the whole piece so it shows not only the UPC, but the product, serial, and model numbers. Also, I just checked rebatestatus.com. Mine is...

    Noo!! I tried flashing to 1.07v4b and I got a flashing error! All of a sudden, my drive won't open and the green led keeps blinking. :( I tried reflashing in DOS using the "Dangerous Brothers's" software but the darn led keeps blinking. The BIOS sees the drive and so can WinXP but I'm still...

    Xtreme 4x DVD-R 50pak NOW $39.50 / 100pak $70.50 Delivered (Ca tax) UPDATE: Pioneer A06/106 burns @ 4x flawlessly !

    Nevermind. I was able to flash it to 1.7v4. However, I'm only able to burn at 2x. Is it probably because I'm using version Nero 5.0?

    Xtreme 4x DVD-R 50pak NOW $39.50 / 100pak $70.50 Delivered (Ca tax) UPDATE: Pioneer A06/106 burns @ 4x flawlessly !

    I tried flashing the NEC 1300a with 1.08 for this media. Apparently Nero still didn't recognize the discs. If I reflash to a hacked 1.7 FW, will it damage the drive? Cstring, the link that you posted, are those the hacked firmware under the NEC 1300a section or are they just the official ones...

    Thanks ICR5. Only problem is, I'm not sure if I already flashed to 1.6 or 1.7. Would anything happen to the drive if I flashed the same firmware twice?

    I'm a noob when it comes to firmware. If I flash my NEC 1300a to the new 1.8, will it work with these discs? Anyone with the NEC drive have experience with these dvds using the 1.8 firmware?

    50 Memorex DVD-R or DVD+R $45+tax shipped!!

    I bought two packs of the Memorex DVD-R's last week. DVD Info shows me this: CMCMAG.AF1. However, using DVD Shrink and Nero, these discs burn great. I've only gone through 4 DVD's but I have yet to burn a coaster. Forgot to mention that I'm using NEC's 1300a dual format burner.

    Picked up both Hunter and Bloodrayne at EB for 4.99 and 14.99 respectively. Since Bloodrayne is 14.99, will they still honor the $20 mail-in gift voucher? Also, the coupon expires 1/31/03 so I'm wondering whether or not it must be postmarked by today or if the purchase has to be made by that...

    Awesome deal. What did you show Circuit City to get the pricematch? Would they just call Best Buy to confirm the price and give you the pricematch on the spot?
