I'm sure someone with a God complex will tell me this isn't the place to post but since most users don't look anywhere else but in this forum this is the BEST place to post it.
Remember that $50 rebate for Iomega 4X/4X/6X External USB CD Recorder?
Well, it is for a specific product number - 31475. Seems Iomega barely modified the packaging and name of this model including the model number(now 11128) yet did nothing to the actual drive itself. Translation: the rebate is only good for an OLD model. If you go directly into their product section this older model doesn't show up, making potential buyers think this is the drive relating to the rebate. The old one does show up in their store though, but we know expensive in store prices are.
Pretty deceptive marketing if you ask me..
I'm on the phone trying to resolve all for a measly $50.
