hot deal on 100 pack of 80 minute Imation CDR's for $29.99??

[Phokus]

I just picked up the sunday newspaper today and saw the imation CD-R's for $29.99 ($39.99 - $10.00 rebate) over at Best Buy and i was going to ask my parents to stop over there so i could pick them up, but first we made a stop over at Staples for some office supplies and i saw the imations over there for $49.99, so i decided to pricematch them to see how much i could save. To my surprise it came out to $29.99 without having to do the best buy rebate. Well obviously i took the deal, but i didn't think i'd save that much. Maybe it was a mistake, but i think the cashier matched the price of the rebated price??

Oh btw, i think these are silverbacks, but when you look at them, it looks weird because the light causes the it to reflect a lot of colors. Anyone know?

I'm going to have to try this one, thanks Phokus!

 

[Phokus]

No prob... so nobody knows if these imations qualify as "silverbacks" or not?

 

[DongTran]

i went to bestbuy to exchange some stupid christmas gift for a 100 pack of imations. My bestbuy decided to sell the 16x 100 pack for the same price with rebate. HOT

Then i stopped off at staples and pricematched bestbuy and they gave it to me for 29.99. I guess the cashier didnt see the mail in rebate part.

here is the cd identifier for the 12x ones

ATIP: 97m 26s 66f

and this for the 16x ones

So if these aren't silver backs, then what are they? They certainly aren't blue backs... (either that, or i'm color blind )

 

[The_Dude8]

what so good about silver back vs the blue back???some staples look at the rebate very klosely.

 

[Phokus]

Silverbacks last much longer i believe.

 

[StarTech]

How do you know a CD is silverback? Are silverbacks the best ones?

 

[sunilJM]

if BACK is SILVER = silverback

if BACK is blue = blueback

if BACK is horse = horseback

if BACK is piggy = piggyback

...you get the picture.
