Wierd,
I have a different newspaper ad that starts today and im in Orange County.
that website is supposedly orange county.

Sacramento has it too

riznick: those Fry's ads are scans from the OC Register, if you have the LA Times, it might be slightly different...

Did anyone buy this unit from Frys? Which software are they using with it.....I understand qps changes between roxio and nero.

Dammit I bought at at CompUSA for 100 after rebate. Man i should have used my AMEX. Dammit I am loser!

Does anyone know about the quality of the drive though? It seems to me that I see a lot of people in the return line at Fry's with Que drives.

I just bought this at Fry's at the Dallas location. I have yet to install it as I just bought it. It comes with Nero 5 btw!!!!!

I need to look up on the quality of this drive though. I thought I read somewhere that this had burn-proof of some sort. It may even be a Plextor rebadged. We need find out though because this is so cheap and there is no mail-in rebates BS!!!

Fry's does not accept American Express, thus you can't Amex Blue it =)

did anyone go for this deal? anyone know how to tell what drive mechanism does qps use in this drive? my bro picked one up from frys, but he couldn't figure out which drive mechanism it contains. i've read that it could possiblly be sanyo, tdk, or plextor, and i think there are different ones used by qps. any ideas?

 

[ebaker]

The ones from Compusa were Sanyos. Sanyo has the emergency eject hole on the far left - opposite the eject button. Excellent drives.

 

[happybob]

what about the ones from frys? anyone knows? apparently it's not the same as the one from compusa.

For those who has a rebaged Sanyo BP1500P CDRW Drive (some QPS Que 24x & TDK VeloCD 24x) there is a new firmware Version 6.38 available.

The 6.38 firmware is supposed to (quote from the Sanyo website):
-Improvement of read performance
-24x media support CMC,ACER,RITEK,PRODISC,GIGASTORAGE

I've flashed my QPS 24X with no problems.
