I can't wait to find one locally.


Q: Do you really need 24X CD-Rs? Or can many brands be adapted.....?

<< Has anyone checked the Lakewood, CA store or the Westminister, CA store? Any availability? Too lazy to get off my arse and go check 🙂 >>



all gone...

think fullerton might have some >>



Lakewood was out today when I stopped by, so I drove to Fullerton and they were out too, as well as Cerritos right behind my house.

Looks like they're gone in SoCal 🙁
 
From what I've read, a lot of people have used 12X media... Question: does anyone want to help a fellow Anandtecher out and sell me one? Please PM me!!!!! 🙂
 
AAjax... did u buy the 3 @ the greenwood store(greenwood mall)? LMK if you did so i can save myself a trip in the morning. Thnx
 
there are none at the cerritos, lakewood, and fullerton stores in s kal....i was able to grab the last one at cerritos while i saw an employee hugging another...too bad there isnt a general rebate from tdk
 
My guess is that BB is quietly price-matching the CC deal: TDK 24X10X40X for $60 after rebates. They've done this before as they apparently track their competitors' prices.
 
I'm willing to bet those dirty bastard BB employees are clearing out their own stock :| There should be rules against that or something... They probably even get employee discounts on top of a really good price. Grrrr....

I noticed a big spike in the number of ebay auctions for TDK 24x (brand new) ending about 7 days from today...
 
what i wanna know is (and wonder who else recognised it)

what was with the little 4 pointed star on the pricing area of the tag?

does this mean something?

i work at aBB too as a pc tech, and noticed the price and piced one up...

caino
 
I went today to CC. I called ahead and told me there were 4 on the shelf. I got there to find none. I go to the front counter and ask and the computer shows 3 in stock. I go to the back to have someone check. As I'm waiting for an available worker I see a guy walk by me with one. I asked where he got it. He said a guy went in the back and found it. He said it was the last one. I was upset but asked the sales counselor anyway to check again please ( a diff guy) he goes in the back for 10 minutes and emerges with a drive. Said this was deff the last one. I sopped it up. Now looks like I'll be at BB tomorrow to see if I'll need to be returning this drive to CC. Cross fingers.

BTW. I got the VeloCD 12X10X32 now. Since its a plextor would I be going way down in quality and reliability by upgradng to this drive. I was gonna do it just cause of the sweet price but I only know Plextor is a cadillac of drives where I know nothing about the long term reliability of a Lite On or sanyo. The one I got by the way has Smart burn. Thats Lite On right?
 
Excellent Deal, gonna beg someone for some money try and cash in on this.

I thought i heard somewhere that TDK's were rebadged plextors too hrm 🙁 idk tho
 
Had my GF stop by BB to pick one up for me - no stock and they wouldn't give her a raincheck because the guy said it's a Price Match, not a Sale.
He said they should have more on Thursday.
This is beginning to seem a lot like that freakin' GF3Ti200 deal - super price, no stock, no raincheck, thanks for wasting your time at WORST BUY!

I'm gonna go there tomorrow and raise a stink if they don't give me a raincheck - I'm a little more assertive than my GF is 😉

Anybody know which drive is the better one: this one of the Pac Digital one in the Staples thread???

Thanks
 
i'm gonna hang on to my Plex 16/10/40a that I paid wtf much for😀, but it was a sweet deal back then 😛
 
I got a 12x plex that I 'paid' $230 for only 15 months ago. (used freebie gift certs from juno etc)
GRRRRRR
I want a 24x drive too!!! :disgust::|
 
I wish I had 2 burners, could make my burning time nearly nothing when I'm on one of my burning-rampages 🙂

No, BB's in Utah though 🙁
