Good deal. Best DL out there right now and $10 cheaper then Staples.
$15 less then Best Buy.

To bad the printables are still almost $5 a piece.

It is a good deal. The only problem is it's OfficeMax. They have a real problem of having a sale and having anywhere from zero to 3 or 4 items of anything that may be on sale. I picked up the last two at the Milpitas OM and used a 10 off 30 card. Got 'em for 1.50/disk.
I went to another OM later for my boss and got the last one there. No one (the sales people), at these stores knows why OM stocks so little merchandise.
Microcenter has the same sale going on now but they too, have zero stock and they don't know if they will get any before the sale ends 11-20 (2 weeks). Microcenter has none when I went there last Tuesday, (third day of the sale).

No kidding.

It's called bait, I think.

Micro Center has an online website. You can order online (at the $19.99 price) and choose to pick up in store.

Good price considering everyone else still sells for lot more...Gosh...these DL prices take forever to come down. Any reason why the prices are still too high? Holywood video studios price-controlled?

because no one will buy them until they're only 2x the price of regular media, which means there is no demand for them, which means that no one makes them, which means the price is still high. chicken and egg problem. that and burners take much longer to burn them (5x vs 16x) so they're not as convenient.

of course, the price on these came down way faster than the price on CDs.

Do you guys forget that if there is low availability you can PM to best buy or circuit city and get it just a tad cheaper??
