I got all the ads this week. Even though I already posted staples, I had time so I scanned it anyway. Verbatims at best buy and sony at office depot this week.

Just something I found funny. compusa has a pny 7600 video card for 180$ (130$ after rebates and savings) advertised. The compusa here locally has a pny 6600 for 180$ (minus 50 percent due to store closing). What a scam. Its usally a scam or priced way too high with mega rebates that you may not get with these guys. They do have the occational good deals though. This week they have a sandisk 12 in 1 card reader for 25$ plus 5$ rebate (normally 40$). I have one of these and they are very good with high speed cards. I think I paid 5$ more than that on sale at bestbuy. It doesn’t bother me a bit they are closing the store here (normal prices are so high). On the rare occation they have a true good deal, I can make the drive to the next nearest location. Rant over.

cool, thanks ripit, I will do a summary of sale later on after taking a shower

#3

Yo ripper-

Thanks again bra-eh!

#4

well, pretty much nothing good deal this week excpet the spindle of sony 100 disc for $24.99, but aint we bored of this price over and over again week by week

#5

I’m looking at the Bestbuy ad and I’m a bit confused. What’s the difference between “instant rebate” and “instant savings” ?

#6

Thanks very much ripit! :bow:

That depends on what the 16x Philips DVD+R/DVD-R at CC are. They’ve been known to be MCCs, but CMC MAG M01 and Ritek R05 are sometimes represented as well. :Z

Only $10.99 for a 50-pack of MCCs would probably be a good deal though. :confused:

#7

Huh?? I am talking about Sony spindle of 100, not philips. I wouldn’t touch philips because some philips are made in china, I have to admit CMC from philips burn pretty well, better than some other cmc.

@tastelikeburning–no difference, just like a gallon and a jumbo gallon. A gallon is a gallon and a jumbo gallon is still a gallon since the unit is standardized

#8

Anyone try the Magnavox DVD+RW? According to the only entry on Videohelp they were MKM discs.

#9

Anyone know anything about the Verb’s on sale at Best Buy?

#10

I know I picked up 6 spindles of 25 for $6.99 today. :smiley:

#11

Thanks Ripit.

I’m with you on the CompUSA thing. Not my favorite store by a long shot.

“Anyone know anything about the Verb’s on sale at Best Buy?”

#13

Oh, sorry I thought you were asking if there was a quantity limit. They don’t sell 8x media anymore, so all DVD+R are MCC004. The DVD-R is MCC03RG20.

#14

why buy so many Verb?? you bought 6 spindles??? 50 disc verb goes on sale pretty often for $12.99 and with coupon and price match, you can bring them down pretty low. the 25 disc spindle for $6.99 is a bit pricey.

#15

Hehe, it’s $.50 pricier and you get two cute spindles instead of a big one. How’s that? :stuck_out_tongue:

oh, thanks ripit! :flower:

#16

I agree with you re: CompUSA, Ripit. The CompUSA down the street from me is also closing and going through their 20/30/50% off jazz. Most of their stuff at 30% off is still priced the same or even more than the normal price from various online vendors.

#17

.28 cents versus .26 is pricey?

#18

I’m not certain, but I’d guess you’ll pay sales tax on the, “Instant Rebate,” amount just like you do with mail-ins.

I only have a couple 16x -R verbies left. Other than that, I’ve got nothing but 8x media. Also, it’s still a pretty good deal at that price.

#20

I dont think you pay sales tax on an instant rebate (not in Texas anyway). Its not that bad of a price but ghetocowboy’s right. I have got 50 packs for less than 10$ with tax from a price match (office max and ofice depot) before.
