Next weeks ads (12/10/06 US)

no more media for me, bought too many, my closet is full of blank media. I am talking about a few thousands of blank, DVD and CDR. Time for me to control myself

I went the last time BB had this instant saving...my Sears refused to PM....always YMMV

they were just assholes ...this was in Brandon, FL

Sounds like me, I wanted to buy more of Staple's media last week when it was on sale but I have way too much media as it is. I thought I had about 1500 DVDs but a quick count and it's probably closer to 2k. And probably close to 500 CD-Rs and I rarely even burn CD-Rs anymore. Alot of the media was very inexpensive at least, half of the DVD media was $10 per 100 or less.

Anyone in the market for a CD/DVD printer should head to Staples toting the 12% coupon linked earlier in this thread and check out the HP D5160. It's on sale for $79.99, and the coupon will knock $9.60 off. $70.39 + tax is a pretty sweet deal on this printer.

I've read that the included software is absolute junk, though. If you're not willing to fiddle a bit with software, perhaps wait for another good deal on an Epson.

As much as I love HP printer, their ink is expensive. And I still have 84 Epson ink cartridges at home for my R200. Now Epson is suing 3rd party ink makers, good thing I stocked up the generic ink. But for printing, I still think HP is the way to go, just that I bought the epson because HP was not going to make any cd/dvd printer because they believe in their lightscribe tech and I guess lightscribe did not take off like the way they predicted thus they launched the DVD/CD printer. ItsRick, thats a good printer, just that I dont need one just yet.

when pricematching can i just print out the ad or do i have to bring them the actual ad?

I believe the colloquial term for your condition[s] is "fetish," and the medical term is "obsession."

P.S. I don't *dare* to count the discs I've got in my stash.

I think for me it's a combination of stocking up excessively when I find great prices on media (as I said about half my discs were very cheap, from $10 to free per 100) and that I like to try different media codes. Despite the amount of DVDs I have, I will probably use most of it up within a couple of years and don't have a lot invested in it since I nearly always pay low prices.

I feel that the number of burners I have is a worse offense since I could easily get away with 1 or 2 good burners, yet I have 9 or 10 and each has an advantage so I have a hard time justifying getting rid of any of them. 5 of them cost $10 or less though so that's the good news.

Same goes for me.

your going to have to print the full ad from bb site or take the ad...bringing ripits scan will most likely notwork

FRy's Electronics today has also Pioneer 16X drive for $34.99 after $15 MIR.

1. Sony DVD+R MIJ 8x 11.49+tax
2. Sony CD-R MII (made in india...oh well) 7.09+tax
Total 19.69
Good deal I say as i needed both CDs and DVDs asap

Anyone know when the sale ends? (Sorry if its a dumb question.)

Where did you pickup your Sony DVD media?

Well, I went to Sears this evening to see if they'd do a price match. I advised the associate I had seen Best Buy's ad of Sony DVD+R's for $12.99. He said he'd check the Best Buy site. He took me back with him and allowed me to find it on the Best Buy site. He confirmed all of the details were the same, label color, 50 pack etc etc. We went back to the register area and he rung them up with an additional 10% off. Just before I was ready to swipe my credit card, he said he needed to get a card to force it through. When he asked a supervisor, the supervisor told him to make sure all of the details on each item were the same. He went back again and came back saying, "the model #'s aren't the same so we can't give you a price match." I said, "Why? This media is older (made in 2005), at a slower speed. It's clear to me customers don't come here to buy media." The supervisor disappeared so I asked him to call the supervisor back to the register. Shortly after he was notified the supervisor was in an interview and that I would have to wait up to 30 minutes. So I left.

I came home and started researching Sears corporate and customer relations. After some Google searches I came up with a phone # of (847) 386-8371, called that and left a message. I'm going to complain and bitch when they call me back. The store associate was treating the media like it was a piece of electronics ("not the same model #"). I understand they're trained a certain way but c'mon, let's use common sense.

I'll update everyone on what happens. I want my MIJ media damnit!

Did you show him the actual ad itself from BB's site or the product page ?

Go kick some ass and get your MIJ media

defektiv et al
you must use the paper ad to get the PM
as it has the exact item codes ie older codes and these match the older MIJ stuff in Sears

as detailed above by M

I am surpprised that you have all the details down pat over there in Egypt

Wow, did I make a big mistake. You're absolutely correct. I now remember showing them the website listing because the ad would come up. Looks like I'll be returning to Sears tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for pointing that out.

show them the ad always...as it has less descriptive info...Just has the package picture and the price...

Btw anyone interested i got my media in the Saginaw Fashion Square Mall, in sears...But thanks to me their out now...But anyone looking for cds...that location has tons of sony cds...not mij but screw it cds are cds

God bless the internet

stop picturing an Egyptian guy sitting on the rock

I swear, this bunch is a bad bad influence. Even though I have a stockpile of ~1300 blank DVD media, I'm now itching to go on a quest for the coveted 8x MIJ Sony/Yuden at Sears.

You're all evil I tell you ... EVIL!!!


... must have octagonal spacers ... must have octagonal spacers ...

think of this way: Price Matching is no guaranteed and it is a big hassle
Blu-Ray is around the corner and the price will be driven down
By the time you finish with your blank dvd, by that time, blu-ray media is gonna be under $1

Ditto/bring it on!

Not on a rock

Every Saturday when great ripit posts scans of deals and I find something I need I do the following :

-See store locations in TN or NY and use Google Earth to get directions
-Call my brother in TN or my friend in NY and tell them what to get and how
-Call them again while they are in store to make sure of what they got me
-Wait untill some of the people they know there come to Egypt with my stuff

Very small vilage the world has become !!
Bottom line is : I get what I want from the US while living in Egypt

Only for -R , +R could have either round or octagonal spacer .
