i thought quantum was regarded as "better" than maxtor in general, am i wrong?

Been lurking a long time, so I figure I should contribute (given that I was one that got in on a new SGI1600SW way back when...)

DVD-R/Ram

They only have one internal listed, it's Que Que IDE DVD-R/RW

also, the qps rebates link QPS Rebates shows both internal and external as a $50 rebate (btw, they are pretty good about rebates)

Now, if any of you want to do the rest of the research about the drive manufacturers based upon that info, I'd say that this one is probably it ($399 -$IR -$MIR - $50MMIR= $249), but only time will truly tell.
 
Any details on the:

* 1.3 Megapixel Digital camera w/LCD for $109 (Pg. 3)

I'm in the market for a digi-cam and that price looks nice!
 


<< they are pretty good about rebates >>



Hmmm..... It's been 5 months since I did the Compusa $50 rebate QPS/QUE deal on a CDRW. I coincidentally called earlier today and they said that they just sent it out. I was about ready to throttle someone if they gave me the same ole "the manufacturer has extended...."

Anyway, obviously I'm a little gun shy of their rebates.

Sounds like a good deal though.
 
Does anyone have a link to the rest of the pages for this coming Compusa Ad? Any more info on sales items would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Yes Quantum Drives rock! I bought last weeks Maxtor / Quantum drive deal only because people were saying there was a Quantum drive in the box. Personally I would have passed if it were a Maxtor in the box.
 


<< wait...so when exatly does this sale start? Sat or sun? Please let us know!!! >>



I talked to a friend from CompUSA and he says this anniversary sale starts Sunday.

Here is a link to the specs on the DVD-RAM Drive. It's the first one on e the top of the page. Fifty dollar rebate at Comp USA starting Sunday.
 
For those of you that have the"itch" for the QUE! DVD-R/RAM drive, it is manufactured by Matsushita aka Panasonic. The drive is OK but there are newer generation DVD-R drives that are better for the pre-rebate price. However, for $249 AR and tax it will probably suit most home users' needs. Be prepared to "pay" the full price drive as QUE! rebates processed by New Rochelle are the absolute worst to get paid. They still have not closed and paid many of the QUE! rebate promos offered at CompUSA last September - November!
 


<< will I be able to backup my dvds with the dvd-ram drive? >>



Yes and no. I am able to rip some 1 to 1 copies. Others I have to strip the menus and others I have to strips the menus and re encode the movies. I use a Pioneer A03, the best IMHO.

Free Samsung 24x10x40 CDRW [$105-105MIR 289671] with the purchase of Epson Stylus C80 [$179.97-30MIR 285927].

Get a few more bucks by using AMEX PM on the printer or the drive. Pricewatch has $157 for the printer and $87 for the drive, so that should drop the total price to about $110
 
Anyone have this 287443 HiVal 24x10x40 CDRW 99-10ir-30mir = 59.99?
I am looking for a good burner and the price is right on this one. Thanks in advance.
 
Dittio,
I still have not been paid my QUE rebates from September....Had to call Compusa to try to resolve, they said mailed this week. Well we see....My QUE CD/RW works fine....Just Beware to not get rebate anytime Soon!!!
 


<< I got mine for 999 before rebate at CompUSA and I also wanna know if it is before or after which makes it equal to 899. It really help big time if you could find out. Thanks a bunch. >>



If you bought it withing the past 14 days get them PM for you. Although, you get more money back if you PM CC (look up).

You know, I didn't think I had ever gotten my $50 rebate for the 24x burner that I got from CrapUSA last year and I've already gotten my rebate on the TDK drive from CC.
