Buy the Lite-On CDRW drive at CC for $69.99, then PM it at BB's $59.99 price. CC also gives you 2 rebates, one @ $30, the other @ $20.

***Total = $9.99 (After $50 MIR)***

 

[RVN]

Thanks.

The DVD burner is mighty tempting at that price.

 

[dakata24]

which is better, the pny geforce fx 5200 or ati radeon 9600np (from BB black friday)?

my bad ...

WTF is going on with Reply mode ? :|

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Back to the real reason for replying ...
I wouldn't order this on-line. It still shows SOLD OUT, as it has since Black Friday. I've had my order go from in-stock and ready to ship, to B/O until 12/04, to the final straw as shown below. I KO'd the order as it would be past the rebate period. Plus an 8X burner is only approx. $50 more.

I catch BB lying all the time about inventory. They like to drop the price on items, and then say they are out of stock.
They suddenly have cr@p loads right when the sale price is over. They also do not mind delaying shipping to put you past the rebate time frame. Funny how they are the only store I notice that does this.

Thanks for the deals. I gotta use that BB credit card sometime I spose!

Is this the same Liteon drive that was on sale during the Black Friday sale? If so, it's the same price as it was on Black Friday. I don't seem to remember deals like this in the previous years. Usually, the holiday prices don't touch the Black Friday prices.

As for the 52x burner, is Circuit City putting theirs on sale too? Might be a good idea for a price match. The only problem is that I don't think I'll be able to get anywhere near my Circuit City tomorrow. My mall is a nightmare now.

Well.. If the 5200 is a PCI card, the 9600 would probably have to be a better card because it's AGP. I didn't know that they still made PCI cards, especially PCI gaming cards.

Think I will go Monday to p/u one of the LiteOn DVD burners. $80.00 is too good of a deal to pass up. It should hold me until the new dual layer burners come out next year

Here is what they have listed, but I don't know if any of the prices are considered "good or great". It's BB after all. HTH.

JVC GRD9OUS $500
Samsung SC-D23 $400
Sony DCRTRV70 $1300
Sony DCRTRV22 $700
Canon OPTURA 20 $800
Canon ZR60 $379 ($50 Gift card available by mail)

All say "Before savings", but it doesn't tell you what those savings are.

It's on the last page of the Circuit City Dec 14-20 ad. $59.99 (PM from Best Buy) - $30 Manufacturer MIR - $20 CC MIR = $9.99!

Those look like their standard prices, so unless the "after savings" part gets pretty good, not hot. That sucks too, as I really want to get a Canon Optura 20.

 

[mundania]

where are those rebates? i can't find them on the lite-on site

 

[baloy]

Do you think CC will PM to BB price and rebate for that Lite ON DVD Burner?

 

[snedman]

I went to BB this morning Elyria, OH. They had at least 40+ of these Lite-On DVD burner on the shelf. Is this not a good deal or what?

Picked up 2 packs of the Fuji CDR they are Labeled as Made in Japan

Depends on the store. The Vernon Hills, IL CC store is awesome for doing price matches, but the Gurnee Mills store in Gurnee, IL is horrible. They never price match anything. I've tried about 4 times and they always come up with a really lame excuse why they can't.

BTW.. I just price matched the 52x burner at the Vernon Hills, IL CC to Best Buy's ad. Ended up getting the burner for $8.99 plus tax (about $12) after $50 in rebates. Not bad...

It's on the last page of the Circuit City Dec 14-20 ad. $59.99 (PM from Best Buy) - $30 Manufacturer MIR - $20 CC MIR = $9.99!

It's actually $8.99 before tax because of the 110% price match of the difference. $10 price match = $11 off.

i tried to PM to bestbuy and CC said they will only PM to the after mail in rebates. I plan to go back tomorrow and say i saw it for less at bestbuy and show them the add in hopes of getting my 10 dollars back, if they refuse do you think i would have better luck taking my receipt to a new store or will they only give me the money back from the store i bought it? thx
