I ran into this deal while at my local Microcenter in Santa Clara, CA. They also have it online. I believe that this is one of the best DVD burners out there for backing up movies and games. Retail for one of these drives run about $400 or so. This is the retail package so it comes with all the software that you'll need, but is the same exact drive as the Pioneer DVR-104. Microcenter is carrying it for $349 - $50 MIR rebate, so you get the full retail package for $299 plus shipping and local tax.

Here is the link to the product:

Here is the rebate:
$50 Rebate

good luck.
 
Thanks for the tip, this is a good deal for the retail version. Do you know if it comes with any blank disks?
 
Does Microcenter PM? Royal Computers has it for $277.

If they do match, then $277-$50= $227 plus s/h & tax in CA. Something to look into.
 
WARNING - Potential drive failure for Pioneer DVD burners... Link to Story

Easily fixed with BIOS update, just FYI. I've already updated mine. Check the story for links. 🙂
 
This deal may or may not be dead at this time, but you might want to check it out.

Office Max has the Cendyne boxed version of the Pioneer DVR-A04 drive with a $50 rebate. Plus, you can use a cupon for $50 off $250.

I got mine last week for $300 - $50 cupon - $50 rebate = $200.

The only problem though is that it is not showing up on their web site right now. Last time it dissapeard for a few days and then came back, so you have to keep checking. The rebate is good through 5 October. This is their second $50 rebate that they gave. I missed the deal when they did this the first time, but as soon as that rebate expired, they came up with a new one (With a $50 price drop from $350 to $300).

The Cendyne version is the same as the Pioneer except for the software that comes with it.

Mine came with Nero5, WindDVD, UleadVideo Studio Version 5 (6 is the latest), Sonic MyDVD, and an Optidisk DVD-RW. I don't think the Pioneer boxed drive comes with nero.

One last thing, I bought some DVD-Rs and RWs through Meritline, and it seems that their branded Meritline DVD-RW is the exact same model as the Optidisk that came with the drive (Optidisk S101-08).

Just keep an eye out for this deal with officemax, they periodically get them in and out of stock on their web site.
