Is the right link

And if I'm not mistaken that looks like two $50 rabates making the total price for me around $20 with tax

HOT if the rebates are stacked!

Can't tell from the photo -- is the faceplate black?

Looking at the dates for each rebate, it looks like only rebate #2 is now valid.

Oh no deffinatly states that the first rebate will end on the 24th and the second started on the 15th. So it looks like if you get this before the 24th then you've got a $20.98 burner!

umm...look again. in fine print the first rebate states: "Purchase must be made between March 28, 2004 and April 10, 2004 in the contiguous United States" "April 11, 2004 - April 17, 2004 in Alaska and Hawaii; April 18, 2004 - April 24, 2004 in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. "

apparently the drive is a rebadged BTC DRW1008IM drive accourding to dvdrhelp.com
there are some mixed ideas about the drive

review of BTC drive

also upon reading the officedepot page, its 29$ + 1$ instant rebate plus a 50$ MIR to make it a total of 40.98$

Office Max actually has three drives on sale this week.

Pacific Digital U-30201 (SKU #20678401) - Rebadged Lite-On LDW-811S, Lite-On LDW-851S, BTC DRW1008IM, or NEC ND-2500A

The NEC can write to both DVD-R and DVD+R media at 8x.

Review of NEC ND-2500A

Edit: NM.. looks like the PD and Mad Dog drives are in store only.

Mad Dog Domination 6-in-1 MD-8XDVDRW-PM (SKU #20740502) - Rebadged NEC ND-2500A

Yeah, it probably is. PD is also shipping NEC drives in their kits.
