heard it's a toshiba drive.

Why is it not hot? Because it's 4x? Or because it's Mad Dog? I thought that the Mad Dog drives were reported to be NEC drives before, but perhaps that was only the 8x models. The picture on the box is certainly *not* an NEC drive, but that doesn't mean much, the box pictures sometimes don't match the drive.

I'm very happy with my NEC ND1300A 4x DVD burner that I bought at OM for $30 in a Cendyne box.

Not so hot...rather get the 8x for $40.

Because you could've gotten a Mad Dog NEC ND2500a for 40 AR a couple weeks ago.

so the real hot deal right now would be for a time machine?

Not hot?

$35.00 after shipping for a dvd-rw drive? Last week is last week. Were there better deals before? Sure. Will there be better deals in the future? Sure. But why trash on this deal? Is really is a good deal.

Too bad we can't post coupon codes for time machines here.

Anyway, I like the Toshiba name and I haven't seen any DVD reader/CD Recorder combo drives for less than this and I happen to have a stack of DVD-R blanks.

I'm in, thanks for posting dennisjai215.

Use the Visa $10 off $75 officemax in-store coupon and get the Micro Advantage 8x DVD±R/RW Drive (Rebate BTC drive) for $29.99 AR and coupon.
If you can get lucky and find a OM CSR that will let you use a $25 off $100 phone order coupon you can get the 8x Micro Advantage drive for $15 AR & coupon. Now that a hot deal.

rebates is very shady, they hold onto your money for 2 months and decide whether to honor it or not depending on the sales :|

i agree... in fact i have only recived one rebate from officemax... others gone.. or it may be just me. i stopped buying from them since last year, i was going to get a hard drive for cheap and i was the first one to get in, they said someone bought it before me... and there was only one drive in the store. funny thing is i was also the first one to the register.

Rebates sucks. They should discount it right off if they want to lower the price.

If you buy with rebate, just be prepare you might not get your money ever.

I disagree. My experience with OM has been great. Since last fall I've sent in for nearly 25 rebates and received every one of them. The only one I had to contest was the Mad Dog 8X DVD+/_R drive last month that I bought for 69.99 with a 40.00 rebate. The web site said I didn't have the Mad Dog product registration # written on the form. I just had to make a call to the rebate phone number and read them my Mad Dog registration #. Everythings great now.

Nothing shady about Parago rebates. They're one of the best if not the best rebate house.
