50 Pack 12x Imation CD-R Media at Best Buy for $29.99

[ringzero]

Looked in my local ad and saw to my disbelief that Best Buy has a 50 pack 12x CDR Media from Imation for 29.99. 80 minute too. Anyone know if Office Depot has these for a price match?

Also, i saw that they had the Rio PM600 going for $169.00

THe outpost.com media that costs $16.99 for 50 delivered overnight burns at 12x as well.

12X are $19 and change....the 8X are $16 and change Greg...Great deal none the less.....

ringzero! Awesome deal!! Do you know what the cd color is on the data (bottom side?)!

 

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

I'll check out Office Depot if we could pricematch, if not, I think this is a good enough deal for me to run down best buys to grab a pack. I am more of a quality guy then price.. I rather spend $10 more and be sure my data is good with imation brand (i've used for the past 6 month or so). Then go with brands like GQ or PNY.

Where did you see this AD? morning new paper? Hrm, someone get a pack and tell me where they are made in (what country), and what color is it on the data side.

I can also confirm that there is a BestBuy ad for the Imation cd's. It was in my Sunday paper. It's on page 24 and their sku# is 41220 I think.

I went looking for those Imation at Outpost.com, but I couldn't find them. Are they still there? Wasn't there a $10 rebate on these as well, or am I just imagining that. Oh well.

On the outpost CDR media, just do a search for "kingston h". I see
they are backordered on the 50pk 12X for $19.95, but they do have the 8x spindle in stock for $16.95. Shipped free overnight, no sales tax. I bought the 12x, and haven't had a coaster burning at 12x.

 

[bashman]

Imation and kingston are both made by cmc. But imation has a top layer while kingston has printing on top of the second layer. The top layer makes a big dif in durabilty

 

[mulder]

So, would it be better to go with Imation or the Kingston? I assume by your post that the top-layer of Imation makes it better? Can you explain? Because if Kingston isn't that different then I'll just save $15 and buy it from Outpost then. Thanks.

If this helps or not. I was desperate for some 80 minute CDR's so I went to office max and they had a 10 pack with slim line cases for $11. although this is no hotdeal, I took one of the CDRs and popped it in for identification. This is what i got back:
Disc manufacturer: CMC Magnetics
Type Phthalocyanine (gold)

they are gold color, on the bottom side.

OD price matched, $31.00 from $49.99, gave a grand price of $18.99.

Not bad!

 

[ringzero]

So office depot DOES have them? Cool..

 

[jjjjayd13]

OD will price match.

I recieved $31.00 off of $49.99, not bad.

 

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

Hey Guys!! I want to do this deal at office depot!! But I need the ad to get the price match.. could anyone scan me the best buy ad, please? I would really appricated it! Thanks!

 

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

Oh well, Office depot didn't have them, so I just went ahead and bought them for $29.99 at best buys.. awesome disks, gold on the bottom, nice white silver on top.. Great imation quality!.

 

[dvdchance]

Ringzero,

Just curious, but how can you tell who the manufacture of a disk is??

What app are you using to determine this??

 

[GotSomethingCheaper?]

Any chance of a scan of the Best Buy ad?
Thanks

 

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

Yep There is a chance of a Scanned Ad, if you have left your e-mail it would have been EXTREMELY helpful for me, but I guess you didn't.. and I have no real place to upload it, because i'm late for work. I will e-mail it to you later today if you e-mail me.

As well as anyone else who wants the Ad too.

David

 

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

Great I am going to be late today... but I hope this helps you guys!

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

GotSomethingCheaper Did you get the ad, I scanned it for you, but I haven't heard from you. Drop me an e-mail when you get the ad, if it doesn't work let me know.

 

[CrazyJake]

Dimwit...I'm currently burning both the 8X and the 12X Kingstons and I've got one bad one out of 35 combined so far. I'm burning at 8X. Very good odds....

 

[Max Power]

Might have to buy some for my new 12/10/32 PlexWriter!!!

xDeLiRiOuSx,
Geesh I am sorry I did not reply sooner,
I was working late yesterday and today. Just got a chance to check out the forum now. Just sent off an email to you.

I managed to get out at lunch and drop by at BB to get the sales ad, then I went to OD to return the OD brand CD-R's that I got, and got the Imations for the pricematched $18.99 price (+tax) which is a better brand and deal.

Thank you for your help David,
Sorry again for not responding, and thanks for putting up the scanned ad, I am sure it helped numerous people who didn't have a local BB to drop by at.

Thanks again
JB

Cool, no problem! I was just courious because I could not find a local Office depot (out of the two around me) that carried Imation 80 minute CD's, that sucks! But I went ahead and bought it at best buys for $30. I guess it's worth it for the quality.

Thank you for the Best Buy scan. It helped me. I took it to Office Depot and got two spindles of the Imations for $52 including tax. (The shelf price was $40 each.) Appreciate the help!
