cdr 200 pack spindle $9.99 at circuit city

[foofoo]

in today's ad bundled with the sunday paper
says "STI 200-Pack Spindle CD_R for PC CDR200"
$59.99 - $45 Mfr. Mail-in Rebate - $5 Circuit City Mail-in Rebate = $9.99

seems like a lot of cdrs for $9.99
doesnt say but are probably 650mb

yep, it is on the from page of circuitcity.com too. Man I already have 300 unused CD-R s .... must resist.

650 MB and upto 16x

Anyone know about the quality? I was thinking about getting the imtation ones from Best buy instead. 50 for 5 dollars.

 

[Rally1]

never heard of them, exept maybe in last weeks thread on the same brand i think, lemme check.

 

[Rally1]

one thread

but that doesnt help

 

[NaturalChiller]

Has anyone figured out what brand / country of origin these CD-R's are?

 

[cmv]

I posted the CDR ID of the STI stuff in the last long thread on these... Lemme go look.

Nice price, too bad that they aren't 700MB

 

[jrichrds]

Isn't STI one of those companies that are bad with rebates?

 

[lt2k]

never even heard of STI before

 

[cmv]

Ok, here it is:



<< Here is the scoop from CDR ID:

ATIP: 97m 27s 28f
Disc Manufacturer: Princo Co.
Reflective layer: Dye (Short strategy; e.g. Phthalocyanine)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)



The cool part is that the discs are blank! No labels/writing on them. I haven't used Princo before so >>

darn rebates!

 

[roamerr]

Picked up some the other week. Not sure when I will get the rebate but the Cd's are burning fine. Sure beat the PNY crap I have that are hit and miss...

Still I prefer the Fuji but free after rebate I try almost anything..

At my Circuit City store (Port Charlotte, FL) most of the 200 packs are 700MB disks.

Careful. If these are the very reflective silver tops, then they flake off easily!

I bought STI cd-r from CC a few weeks ago when free with rebates.
I have burned a few since and all worked fine without any problems. For rebates I have sent them to Young America. They are 650mb.

 

[jrichrds]

Princo's run of the mill generic. Good burners these days will burn with any media you feed it, so not too big of a deal.
Just hesitant about the $45 manufacturer's rebate. I haven't had good luck with rebates with these kind of companies (Newcom, HiVal, Prime Peripherals...you get the idea).
