I can add the item to my cart, but when I click on the rebate link/pic of the drive, I get:
"We're sorry, but there has been an error generated from our server. Please click here to return to shopping at Outpost."

 

[slycat]

maybe price mistake

 

[PrincessGuard]

This drive was selling for around $15 AR at Fry's a few weeks back, so it might not be a price mistake.

Bummer. I needed to replace a dead DVD drive in my daughter's computer.

I saw a similar deal on an EPO 58X CD-ROM at the Fry's in Burbank last weekend. (As I recall, it was $14.99 after MIR.) Since I'd gone to Fry's to get a CD-ROM I was very tempted. However, I swore over a year ago that I would never buy another EPO drive. I used a few in systems I built prior to that. Their failure rate was simply unacceptable.

In other words, when it comes to an EPO product, caveat emptor![/b]

anyone get the rebate yet?

I tried calling the rebate fulfilment number, but i keep getting a answering message.

I'm still waiting on an $8 rebate for an EPO 16x DVD-ROM drive from CompUSA on 11-29-03. I've been given a check number and told it's "being mailed in two weeks" the last 3 times I called.

I would strongly recommend NOT buying an EPO product if you're doing so based on the rebate.

DaiShan, if you know where I one can buy a good DVD drive from this price please tell me. I've been looking for a cheep one for a while but no real deals.

Thanks

I have EPO 48x CD drive. That is my oldest drive in all of my cases. Still works fine, no problem. Just another Taiwanese manufacturer, I'd say. But who knows perhaps it is something sinister about it.
