When the Sony already does + format and is probably higher quality than the lite-on??? That doesn't make any sense at all.

So $100 (unlikely) + $130 = $230 at most...still cheaper than $260 sony dual format. I'll probably sell my sony dual for a major loss and get this lite-on instead.

If it's a +R drive that you're looking for, then Staples has a pretty good deal going on - check out this other thread for details:

Cendyne DVD +R/RW for 129.94 AR AC @ Staples

And check out this thred that I started for a great deal on DVD+R blank media:

Fuji DVD+R 50-pack for $74.99 After Instant Rebate

And I guess I could take this opportunity to Congratulate and Thank You for your GREAT Web-Site - Keep UP the Good Work !!!

For those looking for a all formats DVD burner (including DVD-RAM) the new Iomega burner should be out soon.

Doh, got rejected on this deal as well. Gonna try harder -- perhaps a different city as well.

Was it staples that accepted competitors coupons? OfficeMax has $50 off of $250 right now and I'm wondering if I could apply that to my order.

I couldn't use the $50 off of $200 but was able to use a $30 off of $150 and I got my total down to $276.99 and after the $30 rebate it should be $246.99. $20 more that what I was hoping for but I'm still happy.
