Can you edit your title? It says Apr 30 which will throw off a lot of people.

Thank, I am about to go check and see if I can pick up a $50 burner. Hope they are in stock!!! Strange, I live in the DC area and never got any adds for this Grand Opening Specials in the Washington Post.

The Creative drive (Lite-On) is a great drive, and the NTI software makes it an excellent drive. I was wary as I had only used EZ-CD in the past with my old 4X Iomega USB CDRW, but all my fears were unrealized.

This drive rips through CD's and has yet to produce a coaster. I love the burnproof and would not go back to a drive without it.

If you can find this drive for $50.00 BUY it. You will not be sorry you did.

You can pricematch CompUSA Grand Opening sales with other CompUSAs in the country. Told a buddy who did it out here in WI.

I would just buy one for the hell of having another burner, but I just called my friend who works at CompUSA (he actually knows what he's doing, don't worry. ) and he asked another worker (boss?) and he said that they don't PM Grand-Openings. darn.

<< I went to the compusa in glen burnie today (baltimore area), there is no grand opening sale. >>



It is (or rather was) a one day only sale.

Here is what the ad said:

Creative Labs 12x10x32 CD-RW drive

Quickly create digital music CDs. #280621. Up to 32x max. $129.99 - $80 instant savings. Quantities limited - 50 available per day per store. Available at all Washington, DC and Baltimore area CompUSA locations**

** Unless otherwise specified, all offers available at the Tyson Corner, Woodbridge, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Alexandria, Fairfax, Towson, Glen Burnie and Columbia CompUSA locations only.

Oh, and the top of the ad said &quot;valid Saturday, June 30 from 9am to 9 pm&quot;. And the limit on this was 1 per customer.

BTW, I tried to pricematch this at CC and they refused &quot;it is the opening sale, we can't match that&quot;. Staples is giving me the runaround as well (I didn't tell them it was re-opening sale - just showed them CompUSA receipt), although they still might do it.

Clammy3, Can you please post the receipt for the rest of us? Thanks.
