I need a DVD writer. What is the chance that I will get the money back from this rebate - from you experienced rebaters out there? How are these particular rebates?

I've gotten all of the Mad Dog rebates that I have sent in (I've only sent in about half a dozen though). What's a minor hassle is that you have to register the product at the Mad Dog Web site before sending the rebate in though.

The $40 rebate form says "dual layer DVD+-RW". Is this same for mvalid also for the -R/-RW drive ?

My question is how does this workout with the two rebates? When both require the original upc?

It has the same SKU, so it is Kosher.

There are a bunch of Mad Dog rebates. This particular drive is now listed as only $9.00 after instant and $40 rebate.

Thanx Richardito.

I got this drive last week when it was $19 AR. Can I call OM to pricematch...14 day pricematch guarantee ?

Yes you can. Today they had a $10 price drop on this item and now it is just $9 after a $40 MIR.

As ever,
NM.

I thought they DID rebadge. Can anyone who bought one clarify this? What does it identify as in Nero?

2 year warranty, just like the video cards. It's a Toshiba SD-R5112. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Section...D%2DR5112&Series=0 In the 2 reviews I read, Princo discs do pretty badly in the drive.

(from the review link conclusion)
Toshiba SD-R5112
Pros
Good error correction with CD and DVD
Fast CD reader
Low seek times with CD/DVD
Very good DVD writing quality
Very fast DVD-Video ripping
Overburning up to 95min
Supports CD-Text (reading/writing)
Working SafeDisc v.2.90 backups
Read subchanell data
Read DVD-RAM

Cons
Doesn't support Mount Rainer
Cannot playback/rip protected Audio CDs
High 3T jitter CD-R at 12X
DAE speed could be higher
DVD±RW reading speed could be higher

It's not a do everything drive, but for $10 + tax after rebate, how can you complain?

edit: someone asked above... yeah, it comes with Nero OEM Suite 6. I'm not sure which "oem suite" number it is, but it has nero express 6, InCD 4, nero vision express 2 SE, nero showtime, nero media player, nero toolkit and nero cover designer.

I bought this drive last week for $19 AR. OM credited me $5 upon my price-matching request. $5 because $49 was under the minimum for free delivery.

Great deal, $13 and change with tax. Never had problems with OM rebates either.

Me neither & I've done plenty of rebates through them. I bought one as well. :)
