(Dead) I/O Magic or Pacific Digital 8x DVD±RW or Khypermedia 8x DVD+RW drives for "$69.99" AR at Officemax

Just checked over at FW and evidently this is national!! Get on down to OM tonight! Rings up $149.99 minus $80.00 for $69.95 and still gives rebate tape for $50 MIR.

Good Luck All

Yep, I was just logging on to post the same info. I picked up a Pacific Digital 8XDVD today at OfficeMax. Looks like they reduced the list price from $199 to $149 and have kept the same $80 discount so it $69.98+tax out the door and there is a $50 rebate. This was the same deal at both my local stores.

This had been $199-80IR-$50MIR to get the $70 price. I got them to price adjust the one I purchased earlier in the week.

I suspect this will only last until tonight when the next week's ad kicks in. I believe that all the 8X drives will be $150-40IR-40MIR for the $70 net price advertised for next week.

Not quite as hot, I did pricematch a drive over at Staples because they had one of the NEC2500A drives. That one was $59 out the door (110% match) but has no rebate. The Staples manager asked to make a copy of the OfficeMax receipt so he could show his management why he discounted the drive $120 down from their $180 shelf price.

Yup! picked up an 811s for $70 -$50 rebate! Scorching hot!
They were out of the NEC when I checked earlier this week, so I had them put a LiteOn on hold for me .. wasn't going to go back for it (was going to try to get a NEC from staples next week for $60), but for $20 I decided LiteOn would be just fine

i've had good experiances with k-hypermedia, but im not gonna get a new dvd-rw draive anytime soon, 4X is enough for now, until 16X dual is out, then its time to hit the road

but for those who dont have a dvd-rw, i'd jump on this fast, before it's out.

Just scored one from the Totowa Officemax. Used my $10 off $40 snail-mail coupon and walked out the door for $64 before the $50 MIR.
SN# is 429532XXXXXX
Unit: Lite-On LDW-851S

BTW: The mail in Rebate form shows $149.99, not $69.99.

Thanks to all.

Now, why would I do that? Especially after I'd gotten the answer...But come to think of it, I wonder if this has anything to do with my cycling back of IE screens. If it's the case then my apologies for the annoyance

IE?!?! eww, go give mozilla firefox a try, here's a link to another thread..

two? how'd you get two? isnt it like only one rebate per household, or something like that?

Got a friend with a different address? (hint)

Even if not, he'll get at least 1 rebate ($20AR + $70 = $90 for 2 851s).
