Apparently you never finished your hooked on phonics tapes. He clearly stated he was not serious all the way on the 2nd line of his post.

Wow, what a completely rude and obnoxious way to tell someone they misread a post. As apparently you have never missed one line in a 200+ post thread, I humbly apologize.

For everyone else, I also received the e-mail about 10/23. What are the rest of you doing? I don't know if I want to cancel it or not. I'm thinking this is a sign I should wait.

 

[jasonja]

You're right Vetteguy, I apologize... I was feeling zesty that day.

Thanks for the apology...you're a bigger person than a lot around here.

Nice deal...

Hmmm...if only I could find one of those $25 off $200 codes. I just got 2 dell catalogs in the mail today. Where abouts would these coupons be listed?

Thanks

4X DVD-R media is out $1.40/each...anyone wanna order this and report back regarding it's reliability with this sony dvd burner. Did it really only take 15mins,etc.
try looking at the very back cover of the dell catalog.

I'd try it out, if I'd ever get the drive from Dell.

 

[spinn]

[SKORPI0]

Fixed link for the 4X DVD-R media.

Thanks, I'll have to order is least 25 of these to backup all the data on my 100GB HDD. :disgust:

 

[svidanag]

Thanks all, I'm in! about 250...now to find some decent cheap media!

 

[Vertigox]

2 dell books but not a single coupon....arg

well if anyone out there has a coupon for $25 off 200 and they are not going to use it...could you send it my way?

 

[mrbass]

Has anyone looked at this dvd burner for $200?
Click the link to enable a $50 off $250 coupon, purchase it for $250, then a $50 mail-in rebate is available.

[randomlinh]

that drive looks like a rebadge of a pioneer, at least it looks that way.

 

[Oxonium]

I looked at the DVD-R/W drive offered at Officemax (it seems to be on ad every 3 weeks or so) but decided to get this Sony drive since it supports both DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W. And coupled with this Dell deal, it's only $50 more (or the same price for those people that don't like dealing with rebates.)

 

[Morph]

My order now says "In Production". Does anyone know what that means?

 

[GoodToGo]

Click on the "in production" and you will see a window pop up saying that the order is delayed. At least that's what it says for me.

Missed out, returning my Cendye pioneer 104 and get this next on sale

 

[KXS]

Guys,

Anyone know where I can purchase the new sony DRU500A in Canada, or place where they will ship to canada. Dell.com does not sell to canada, just Dell.ca does. Dell.ca doesn't seem to sell this product yet. I will call tomarrow to confirm.

I would love to pick up this baby asap.

Any and all help apreciated...

Thanks

Well you may want to hold on to that Cendyne for the duration of your return policy... none of us will be burning with the Sony anytime soon.

Yeah.. don't hold your breath... many of us ordered long before you and have already gotten two "delayed" notices. I called yesterday to tell them to continue to keep my order open (they require this after such a long delay) and the CSR informed me that they had a ton of orders for these and they will be filled in order. He also mentioned that some people were ordering 50 at a time (burn in hell whoever you are ).

 

[DQderrick]

Delays... Oh well. I personlly have the 104 Pioneer drive and will just continue to use it. I figured I'd just ebay it when this drive comes in. I dig the 4x capability of this drive. The pioneer seems to have a pretty good resell rate on ebay right now.

Good Luck to all on getting your drives!
