Pacific Digital "Mach 12" DVD burner, $33.50

[Demon-Xanth]

I just picked up a rebadged Optorite DD1203 at Staples for $33.50+tax out the door.

Edit:
Link to the online page.

Some reports have been made that it can be firmware upgraded to DL (DD1205), but I haven't found a valid link to the hacked firmware.

That link has a lot higher price. What is the secret?

B&M only, the link was just for reference.

Gotcha. I didn't see clearance in your original post. I am going to try it tonight and report my success...

Thanks,
Nat

Local staples said that they pulled it from the shelves a couple weeks ago. That sucks, that was right in my price range!

Here it was sitting on a folding table w/ other clearance items.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check our local store but in reality they haven't had anything and I do mean *anything* decent on clearance for close to a year now.

All the good deals are always siphoned off by the employees before the average Joe customer gets a shot at it. We know this because they like to stop by at the Clearance rack and brag how they bought 10 of whatever and are reselling them on Ebay for a big markup.

Shame but true.
