deal is dead

[rondeemc]

I did a search and did not see this so if it is a dup my apologies.

Buy.com has the Creative unit for $152 with burn-proof with no coupons/rebates needed. It does not mention what software is include other then a short description of the drag and drop feature, MP3, etc. I wish I had found something like this instead of having to do the TDK rebate and the hassles that went along with it.

I have seen in posts here that this is a rebadged Plextor. Can anyone confirm this?

Update..................
Just received an e-mail from buy that they have free shipping which expires February 28th, 11:59 PM.

I'd grab that for a friend if it is a plextor. Are you sure it is? Can you point me to any sites detailing that info?

thanks,
mikel

buy.com has free shipping right now too. hmmmm, this deal is getting warmer....

 

[Poochy]

Looks like it's indeed a rebadged Plextor according to this link. If so, nice deal.

 

[Maximin]

good deal!
It includes Nero.

up^

 

[wonder mike]

if this is a plex this is hot. if you got buy.com visa and still a new customer this drive could be had for like 130. pretty damn hot if you ask me.

 

[Linh]

good deal, free shipping

I don't think Buy.com has any coupons right now. I think the price is so good because the 16/10/40 drives are starting to come down in price.

I am waiting for $90 Plextor

 

[wonder mike]

Hmm...it appears that a number of stores are selling this drive for under $200. Check here

Does anyone have any experience with any of the Creative drives? The last one I had from them gave me a lot of problems.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Very nice!

 

[letian]

one thing to watch out is that if it is a plextor. Roundsparrow website says you wont be able to change the name back to creative lab once you changed it to a plextor. If anything goes wrong with the drive, you are SOL as that warranty has go to hell.

Bummer... this deal is better than what I posted...
Check out my post

 

[wonder mike]

Buy.com cancelled my order, they will cancel yours too if you order. Just a FYI

 

[rondeemc]

did they say why they cancelled?

 

[Maximin]

bump^

 

[wonder mike]

buy.com stated that their vendor has no more of this item in stock. don't waste your time.

 

[Malchior]

Wish I had read this forum thread earlier... I just got notification of a cancelled order today! I had ordered the drive back on the 26th too! Suck... well at least I got free shippiing on something else I had ordered from Buy...

 

[Webbed]

I spoke to CSR. They said that they don't have any in stock and it is a discontinued item so it will not be restocked.

 

[rondeemc]

this teac has been getting good responses here

link with nero


other with adaptec

It's not definately a rebadge plextor. If it has one led then it's a plextor, if it has two leds, then it's a sanyo. Either way if it has burnproof it's a great deal. I have one and haven't had a coaster yet.
