Thanks man.....now, If I can get my rebate back from the 32X deal.......

almost forgot to mention.....For those of you that had Amex BVG card, you might want to PM this to Dell's deal.......just search the forum.....

 

[Skates1616]

You can't do it that way since its Cendyne and technically not a Lite-On, uless you get a retarded CSR with Amez, no way in hell they will pricematch!

 

[ChunkyBarf]

Great Post.

I think I might very well pick one of these up. It would be a nice advance from my 12x CD-RW I currently have.

Take care,
ChunkyBarf

Link to OfficeMax in-store ad for next week is now posted.

 

[GermyBoy]

I'm going to wait for the new Yamaha coming out. 40x CAV. Burns in 2 minutes something. Plus, has some neat CD "engraving" tools if you have empty space.

 

[zodder]

Not bad for those that missed out on the Dell 15% stackable coupon.

 

[rlc]

thanks for another great deal on cdrw!!

 

[SlinkyDink]

Not to thread crap, but When are these cd-rw deals going to end??

Everytime I get on board, but only to see a week later that a better drive is the same or less. I'll pass this time around, I still dont even use my Lite-On 32x at 32x and just burn everything at 16x.

I'm an old school cd-rw user that still believes that a slower burn typically leads to better quality. Thats based on using old 2x drives (when they were $700) and burning at 1x just to get the cd's to play in no name cdroms and cdplayers.

Although I'm certain a 40x drive can probably burn at 16x better than a 32x IMHO.

I'll pass and wait until the next big thing, dvd-r's get cheap.

Before that happen liteOn will out with their "56x32x56" CD-RW drive around September and Yamaha will still be far behind the speed curve, the last time I checked they were still on 24x. :Q

 

[Coraanu]

MysticMan, you are my hero!

 

[Ly2n]

I need a new CD drive, but I have 2 questions. Is this drive that much better than the much cheaper one next to it in the ad. And I can't find the $25 off 100. I get a page that says that the offer has expired. Has anyone a direct link to it (and how to use it- print it or what) Please PM me. Thanks Lynn

 

[jasonja]

The Dell.com deal using the 10% and $15 off coupon is a faster deal. I picked up the Lite-on 40X for $47 shipped overnight.

 

[geckojohn]

Mystic Man,

How many burners are you gonna make me buy!!! LOL. Just kidding.. you are awesome!

 

[todays]

Yeah, but what do I do with all my 12x media. I haven't even burned a CD at 32x with my current Verbatim burner I got last month.

 

[MysticMan1]

Ly2n

You have a PM.

 

[Macro2]

This looks like 69.95. Where is the 25 off 100? Can someone post it on thickwallet?

 

[MysticMan1]

Macro2

To get that kind of information you have to have your PM turned on.

 

[yomamma]

Hey guys! Help!!!

1. Is this B&M only? The price is still high on officemax.com while I do see the lower price on the circular.

2. Wheres the $25 off coupon? My PM is on.

Thanks!
