LA Fry's: Pine 4x DVD-R/RW - Pioneer Drive - $139.99 AR

[edwardhchan]

What looks to be a hot deal, is less hot because the rebates have to be mailed to Canada... YMMV for sure, especially with word of the Canada Post impending strike.

PLU #3664955

Pine uses Pioneer drives?

Looks like a hot deal anyone had any problems with rebates of Pine's going to Canada?

Yes. I saw the boxes today:

The Pine DVD+R/+RW uses an NEC drive (1100A) and the Pine DVD-R/-RW uses the Pioneer DVR-105. The drives inside are printed on the box.

Don't know about CS, but for an authentic Pioneer DVR-105 drive, this is a great price, even when you factor in the $1.20 you have to pay to send 2 rebate forms to Canada . If you're new to DVD burning, then you may want to go for the retail Pioneer box ($179.99 @ Fry's) for it's better software bundle. The retail Pioneer comes with Sonic MyDVD for authoring. The Pine just comes with Nero.

What are the amounts of the rebates?

TIA

There are 2: $30 and $20. They go to the same place in Canada, but have different offer numbers. One ($30) requires the original UPC, the other ($20) requires a copy.

Oh yeah, if you get this one, make sure the person at the counter gives you the right one! The one who sold me mine tried to give me one for the Pine DVD+RW drive, which was incorrect.
