cc Cendyne (most are re-badged liteons YMMV) 40x12x48 $19.95 no MIR or Matching

[baclips6]

Got a lite-on in tallahassee, FL.

 

[Viewsonicboi]

This is a pretty hot deal. Most of these drives turn out to be lite-ons. I have a 52x cendyne that turned into a lite-on.

 

[BBQ]

Great deal. Grabed the last two they had in stock.

 

[Bmott]

my two buddies and i just picked up 5 Lite-on 40x for $19.99 and 3 48x Cendynes for $29.99 (not sure what kind) in the LA area (westood and two on sepulveda)

Just got the last one from CC in San Jose, CA (Evergreen store), it's a Cendyne 40x12x48x, Model LTR-40125S (which I think means it is a Lite-On), $19.95. The manager that rang me up scanned it 4 times because he couldn't belive it. There was a shelf tag marking it for 19.95, so I can't believe it lasted long enough for me to get there.

Thanks for the deal, I needed a cheap CD-RW and didn't care about super speed, so this is a great deal.

It was the last one at this store. I saw the Cendyne 48x for $29.95, but just the tag, they didn't have any in stock (though I didn't ask about more of either in the back).

Snagged one at the Brentwood, TN CC. They had two left. one was LTR-40125s and the other VBT-something. This particular CC kept a lot of their "old" stuff on a couple of shelves underneath the area where they displayed monitors and computers. I would have missed this if I looked only in the regular CDRW display area, so look around!!!
If I remember right the Lite0n 40X drives can be flashed to 48X

Good Hunting.

The VBT are liteons from what i read, and do you have a link to flash 40x verbatims to 48x?

CC doesn't have this deal at my location, in the Puget Sound area.

They did at mine, 3, in fact.

I picked up two, and the third the checker went and grabbed for himself when he saw the price.

 

[Coraanu]

Scored the last one at Roseville, MN. Lite-On! Good luck to the rest of ya.

 

[amnesiac]

I think I just scored bigtime.

Went to my local CC and found 2 left with no shelf tag. Wandered around and found a 50% off shelf at the front of the store, but nothing really caught my eye there -- some USB2 and combo burners there though. Anyway, I headed to the checkout stand and put the 2 Cendynes on the counter - the guy saw me come from the 50% off rack with the drives and told me that these two were also 50% off. I didn't argue.

So I walked out with 2 drives for $21.64 total! Go me!

 

[5to1baby1in5]

Sigh, all my CC's are snowed in.

 

[MyCulito]

I picked up one of these myself today. Cashier checked the price three times before allowing me to buy it.

It's those very expressions which are priceless to me.

Go Anandtech!

 

[LbJustinTime]

*Will call tomorrow* =)

 

[SynthDude2001]

This is a really great deal. I already have the Lite-On drive and I love it. I hope the deal works out for everyone!

That they can, if they've got the right firmware.

From CDFreaks:

LTR-40125S (f/w ZSxx) -->LTR-48125W, possible, mediatek chipset.

^ I just did this with mine, had the ZS firmware, now it reads and burns as a LTR-48125W.

Ironically, I paid less for the real Cendyne Lightning IV 48x12x48 in the past, when pricematching to OfficeMax.

NO luck in Lou,Ky.

Almost all burner drives were 52X and I did see one Cendyne 40x12x48 USB but the price tag showed $119.00.

 

[worcmai]

Ignore the price on the shelf tag. It will ring up at $19.95 at the register. CC is real bad about not putting up new shelf tags when the price goes down.

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the "USB" on the 40x.

that one wouldn't have rung up at $19.95. it was External.

 

[BuckMaster]

Yea can anyone confirm what the USB External Cendyne 40x12x48 Burners are ringing up if any discount at all? I really need a Internal so I didnt bother doing a pricecheck on the Cendyne 40x12x48 I seen at CC for 119.00. Guess I should of.

 

[andryeevna]

Got last one!

Red Box CenDyne 40x12x48x

Not tagged on sale 69.99 regular priced
Marked 79.99
Rang up 19.99

Sales person was really suprised

Back has the drive model: LTR-40125S

Remember, just because its not marked on the shelf doesn't mean its not on sale

 

[Subh2o]

I'm glad to see others get in on this, it was a slow start!

Anybody have a url to get the flash to 48X?
