Anybody know what you need to do to get the upgrader rebate on SystemWorks? I have 2003, but it was an el-cheapo OEM bare-disc-only version, so I don't know if I could get the rebate or not.

the HD looks real tempting. maybe if we can get some info on it a PM is possible from another store? or even a coupon. but still at $90, that baby looks good....

Thanks! I took the plunge and fiqured might as well try out these discs....hopefully they work for crappy backups.

Also, anyway to combine the staples $35 rebate on the netgear router with the existing netgear $20 rebate? That would make that deal blazing....

MD.

Zaph..you got lucky my Teon DVD+r are CMC and will only burn at 4x....

For $5 that is fine...

Oboeguy,
If I recall correctly, you can send either your old CD or the cover of the manual.

I got the Norton Systemworks Pro, HP 100 CD-r, and the Maxtor Hard Drive. I got there at 10AM when they opened and there was only 1 hard drive left in stock. Crazy...

I got the 160 gb hard drive - wanted a coupon but couldn't find one anywhere.

You da man (or woman), thanks!

Since i do not have a B&M nearby, does staples online/catalog accept giftcards and the "coupons"

 

[oboeguy]

I have another stupid question about the Norton deal: can I get the rebates for two copies if I buy two?

Just make sure you use 2 different addresses and names.

No for giftcards, but yes for coupons unless they've already been used.

This may just be a mistake, and may mean nothing even if it is not a mistake, but the rebate form for the Labtec webcam indicates that it is to be sent to "LOGITECH Promotion xxxxxx". Could be a better unit than one would expect, but maybe not.

Good advice. Call me naive, but that hadn't occurred to me.

Logitech is the parent company of Labtec.

 

[lsman]

the modem actually showing 19.94 with $2 coupon on staples's web site.
So you make $ with rebate (or cover tax and postage)

 

[nealh]

well I got the altec lansing 221 speakers...2 sets..one for my wife's computer than other for my son's PS2..nice for the price

Also got a couple of the Energizer UPS....are these any good...only a like 3 min of battery back up for a P4....interestingly there were 2 different versions..one had 1 min of battery back up time...

Is this 3 min one time for the battery..we get a fair number of power surges in FL...I look at these as good $10 power surge protectors...with a little extra

Anyone have any thoughts on these units?

I picked up 2 packs of the TEON DVD-R's and they were both CMC as well, which is great... I've gone through two 50-packs of Memorex DVD-R's that were CMC's and have had no problems playing them in my laptop, stand alone, PS2, and my mom's cheese-o-tron stand alone which is very picky as to what it will play.

The offer seems to be good this week and not just Sunday as I believe it said in the ad (in San Diego anyway).

Has anyone been sucessful in getting a raincheck from Staples for this item? That might actually be a possibly hotter deal, if you could then go in later and pick one up for the sale price, at the same time that a mfg. rebate promotion is active.

my local Staples ..says no rainchecks ..period ..but then again they aren't happy when I buy/rering deals neither.. also love the instore kiosk as well..order instore go to pay ..they are like "where's this coupon you just used" ..I say "same place my merchandise is..online" ..that really get's their goat as well

Well, I managed to pick up the 160GB Maxtor 8MB cache 7200 RPM HD last night. I went into BestBuy and got them to PM, on the 22nd, the last day of the Staples sale, about 5 mins before the BestBuy closed.
Thankfully, they didn't give me any hassle about the PM, nor had any issues about the store closing soon.

Now I'm wondering if I made a wise choice though, with only the 1yr warranty, and my prior experience with a 60GB Maxtor drive dying in less than 6 months on me. I only bought this drive because I have to do some long-overdue data-recovery work on a friend's computer soon, and buying a new drive for it was the easiest solution, and this was the best price-per-gig combined with the lowest reasonable overall price that I could find. I do wish that it had come with a controller card though. My 160GB WD drive that I purchased for $100 AR some months ago had a 3yr warranty, plus included the Promise ATA-100 controller card, which was worth $20-30 by itself. So in hindsight, I feel like a paid too much for an inferior-quality drive, but I needed one now so I bought it anyways. I guess time will tell if it has any quality problems like the 60GB Maxtor I once owned. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one.
