Possible Compusa deal on Sony 12x CD-RW drive for $150 after rebate

[ahsia]

If u guys are having problems buying the 12x drive at $199, why not just buy it online, that is the price it list:

Spressa? Professional CRX160E-A1 12X8X32 Internal EIDE CD-RW Drive

Any one know where the rebate is? Do I have to go to an actual store to get the rebate form?

 

[rigmah]

They must of just changed the price because i checked 2 hours ago and last nite and the price was 279

 

[Freekylink]

Ditto Ashia,
I have been looking at it online at $199 with no mention of rebate at Compusa. I have surfed around sony's site and cannot find a rebate. Could someone point me to where the rebate is online or scan and post their rebate?
Thanks

 

[Coki]

Is the rebate on the back of a receipt?

Thanks.

 

[nealh]

Probably to new to work with cdrwin or fireburner...the drivers will need to be updated so the drivw can be recognized properly

 

[Coki]

Is the rebate instant or mail-in?

Where is the rebate located?

Thanks.

 

[ahsia]

I'm gonna stop by at my local CompUSA at lunch time in about an hour. I have a feeling the rebates are available at the stores, and not online. Why? I don't know, but I'll post some more info after I get back from lunch.

 

[bubba]

Yes, I got my rebate form at the store. It was on the big rebate rack.

 

[cmv]

Well I'm going out to the burbs to see if I can get this deal along with the 45 gb Western Digital deal... Any further news? Looks like the WD deal is going to be the harder of the two .

 

[kuroc]

If some one could email me a copy of the rebate that would be helpful
address is dadale73@excite.com

the store here is out of forms

btw the Birmingham al store has 17 left on the shelf!

 

[juiio]

Does anyone know if these drives are supported by CloneCD?

 

[junthin]

Wow, seems like everyone is looking for this drive. Just a heads-up there are two more left at where I am, and they rang up for $199.99 (I checked) so let me know if you want it. Thanks! By the way, the CompUSA it is at is the one in Gateway Plaza in Austin, TX. Good luck!


Email me or private message if you want me to get one for you! Thanks!

The CompUSA is Chicago (downtown) had a load of the 12x drives. They rang up for $199, no problems. They also had a load of hard drives, so many they had them stacked on the floor (usually only behind the counter). Another sweet deal -- but I'm looking to make it sweeter using my AMEX Blue Card

 

[ahsia]

yeah, I got two rebate forms, and it is definintely for both the 10x4x32 and the 12x8x32 drive. Amazingly CompUSA has the 12x8x32 drive for $199 too. Hmm.... an offer too good to pass up??

 

[XzeroR3]

looks like I have to go and buy one now. dang it! hehe

 

[nealh]

Over at clone clinic one of the admin has one and it shouldbe supported by clonecd

 

[bubba]

So, anyone positive it burns all the way out to 80 MB? Not just to 78? How about overburning, can it do that?

 

[dude]

Anything past 650 mb or 74 minute audio is overburning.

 

[bubba]

I know what overburning is, but I don't think this drive does it. But I am curious if anyone has had success

More importantly, I am just trying to clarify (with absolute certainty) that this drive will burn all the way to 80 min on an 80 min CDR. Otherwise I will take it back and order a Plextor or something that I know will do that.

 

[RossMAN]

When does this offer expire?

Does this CD-R/W work on Macs as well as PCs?

Meaning is it only a Sunday/Monday special?

When does the $50 rebate expire?

 

[freeman]

bubba,

No, it doesn't go all the way to 80 min according to SONY website. Check FAQs section.

 

[bubba]

Right, that is why I am so confused. From here (sony FAQ site) I see that it supports 78.5 min, but rhowchow2 says he burnt 80 min, as did Purvin. I read elsewhere that people have been burning 80 min with HP9xxx series, which this is the drive that is in the HP9500i I believe.

So that is why I am so confused.

<< When does this offer expire? >>


This special is good through Saturday the 14th at CompUSA.

I'm at the compUSA in chicago. They have the 12x and it rings up at $199.99. Not sure how many they have I'll check and post it.

 

[Knocks]

The list price for the 12x model is $199. No mistake there, check the CompUSA website.

The issue here is whether you can get the rebate for the 12x model. If I buy the burner and can't get the rebate, I will be screwed on $9 shipping.

Is the rebate instant or mail-in? Is it from CompUSA or from SONY? will a scanned copy work? (does it say no copies accepted). If yes, could somebody please scan and post the rebate. Thanks!
