Officemax Mad Dog Dominator 4x DVD-R misprint.

[SolidDragon]

In the current ad for Officemax 6/20 - 6/26
The Mad Dog Dominator drive on sale states that the drive utilizes both DVD-R and DVD+R (read the last line in the ad), even though the actual drive on sale is ONLY a 4x DVD-R/-RW.

Item # 20686205
MD-4XDVDRW-M

I was able to get them to match the after-rebate price on the 8x DVD-R/+R drive(normally 129.99) In-Store due to the misprint. Thats a 70.00 savings.

Item # 20740502
MD-8XDVDRW-PM

This is my first post, sorry if not clear.

Anyway, I think its a steal if your local store is as generous as mine was.

I hate to burst your bubble, but OM B&M has the drive SKU#20740502 in ad for 4 days starting Wednesday for $49.95 AC AR.

Unfortuantely, we have all bought something. And the dang thing goes on sale the next day. Dude, just tell them to price match the lower price on Wed.

The 6 in 1 is a good deal for $49.99AC/AR! It's an NEC 2500A.

Actually, due to the misprint in the ad, I got the drive for 59.99, But there also is a rebate for 30.00 off. Makes my AR price 29.99

is there a way to make sure that these are NEC 2500A's ?

I was just about to buy 3 of the NEC's from newegg (one for me and two for my friends) alongwith the bytecc external usb2.0 cases.

should I rush to OM instead?
are mad dog rebates reliable?

any info would be appreciated.

Yes. The bottom of the box isn't taped. If you use better than gorilla precision, you can open the bottom of the box to check the contents while leaving it "sealed".

I picked one up this morning for $79.99 ($30 rebates prints instead of $40 advertised) and used a $10 off $40 snail mail coupon, making this ~$45AR/AC and tax. The drive inside is a ND-2500A, just as expected.

I really don't know of any drives in the "MD-8XDVDRW-PM" boxes that are anything but a ND-2500A.
