[jhassi]

staples as a
50x CD-ROM for free again with rebates

details on how to get it free here

$20 off only good until the 14th

oh yeah, the rebate for the last $20 off this 50x drive has to be postmarked by the 9th of october, so i hope everybody has mailed in their rebates.

So how is this cdrom for free? The drive is 39.98 and the rebate is only for $20. The Staples coupon is for 20 off 50. So how is it free.

 

[mikebill]

You need to add a free after rebate software to use the dollar off coupon. It's explained in the link he provided.

If you guys need a CD Rom, you better jump on this deal quick. It will probably sell out fast.

I went for the 56X DR drive with a $40 Staples rebate last month. Staples was nice enough to send me e-mail telling me they got my rebate form. The rebate supposedly will be mailed out next week. Final cost is just Washington state tax. Drive is noisy but pretty much reads all disks, including CDRW and off-brand CDR.

i got in on this deal last time and already have my 50x, it's not the greatest drive but hey, for free i couldn't complain.

What free after rebate software is available? I did a quick search through the previous thread's list and none are active. Any suggestions?

 

[ride525]

Anyone buy this CD drive before? How did it work?

I can't even find a 50x on Delta's website...

Anyone know who the manufacturer is?

 

[Bad Dude]

The free software that were available is not around anymore. So no free cdrom.

I bought 4 of these and installed 3 of them. They are very fast. It takes about 3 secs to load the cd and has fast transfers and is pretty quiet. The front bezel hinges down and the tray pops out quickly. I don't know about the manufacturer and the durability however.

 

[Ape]

Just ordered mine. I hope I get it. Only $12.18 after rebate, along with 20 Jewel cases. Not a bad deal. Ciao for now. Ape Out.

 

[goober529]

well... i juss ordered one of these myself... i'm building a new system so i really needed a cd-rom... thx!

 

[cisco]

just added $11.00 worth of pens plus $20 off & $20 off = like $3 for tax for the CDROM, not bad, my friends are always needing these things
so I keep eem in stock for those special ocasions...

 

[littleman]

hmm thanx but you should put "after rebate" in ur title

 

[tiejiba]

I order yesterday, with a usb mouse cost 10.08
all with be 50.07.after all I will pay just 10 .
but this morning staples give me a email ,says that
the CD-Rom is sold out .So I cancered the order

 

[natto fire]

if that is the memorex dirve they have at my staples, then that drive really sucks. I bought one aobut 3 months ago, and i have hated every second of my life since, it is loud, slow, and very unreliable.

 

[emjem]

And don't leave out that Memorex tech support is suk.

 

[WhiteMouse]

I posted a "review" of this 50X CDROM before. Basically, it's quiet, but slow. It's not Memorex.

For the DR 56X CDROM, the storage review? said it's fast, but noisy. I just insatlled it, and found it's actually sort of quiet, at least much better than my 40X Memorex. That so-called 56X (I know it means 56X max) cannot even feed my CDRW (2M buffer) at 4X.

 

[stonerdave]

I'm curious, which receipt do you send in to get a rebate from staples (from staples.com purchases)? Can someone verify they've received their check from them with the right one?

I'm curious because the packing slip says "not an invoice" and my order history says "No previous orders."

thanks
