"I got a 8x8x32 Cendyne for $19.99 at the OM in Matteson, IL. The cashier had to ask someone to go in back to look for it, and I forgot to ask how many they have left.
It's a rebadged Teac CD-W58E and came with a copy of NTI. No firmware updates available."
coworker told me they had done that also @ the store i sent him to last nite. guess they are trying to hid them for themselves, hoping they will go down. yeah, the ones i bought on dat were teac w58e also, but they came with nero. wonder what happened? that's a rebrander for ya
"Could you post a link to a scan of the receipt? This drive is on clearance at my local Office Max, but for $61."
"$61? The normal price on my drive was $59.99."
it was $60 even HERE
"I'm curious, why would someone buy a 8x CD-RW drive (with no burnproof and takes 25 mins to burn a CD) for $19.99, when you can buy a 32x CenDyne/LiteOn (burns a CD in 3 1/2 mins) from Staples for the same $19.99??????? Just curious LINK Fortunately OfficeMax has a 14 day return policy."
there is NO staples HERE.
"Since most people are getting their CenDyne rebate checks in 4 to 6 weeks that not a problem, so it comes down to do you want to spend your $20 on older 16x or 8x technology or newer 32x technology. I would think that most people would want the best technology that their money could buy."
most people (?) is not the same as everybody
and not everybody can come up with $20 before the deal expires, much less $80...
and who says older technology isn't as good? that teac is bulletproof (imo), if not burnproof. in these harsh economic times, i bet manuf are trying to find the cheapest ways to manufacture their products to increase their profits. usually in response, qa goes right out the window...
"I do a lot of rebates, I got three checks just yesterday. But having said that, I got this drive instead of going the rebate route. There's just something to be said for walking out of the store after paying just $20 instead of $90."
amen, my brother. AMEN.
