*** CompUSA/IOMEGA Rocks ******

[uscpte7]

<Cone of Silence Comes Down> Well, Chief, I hear that CompUSA has gotten permission to offer the IOMEGA 12X10X32 drive as a substitute for the 12X4X32 they had on sale for $149.95 AND you get the $30 rebate, too. What, What did you say, Max? Chief, I said, get your butt down to COMPUSA and buy the 12X10X32 for $119.95 after MIR!! <Cone of Silence Goes Up> (Screaming) What did you say, Max? Geez, Chief, you don't have to yell. [I guess I'll keep my day job rather than be a screenwriter, huh?]

Good idea, oh yeah and thanks for the post.

 

[novon]

at every compusa?

 

[tran1981]

Every compusa has to do it or is it up to the manager?

This ad on Iomega expires on 12/20/2000. So, the deal is gone now, chief.

[acenuts]

wish I could've done this but they had the 12x4x32 in stock at a nearby Compusa.

 

[wasssup]

they were out of 12x4x32x's at my compusa, dunno if they were gonna substitute

good job letting us know after the deal died...

 

[Jugernot]

The cone of silence worked! Wooohooo, I'm going to patent it!

 

[dapic]

This IS true and it DOES depend on the store.

I bought the Iomega 12/10/32 drive on Monday at CompUSA at Columbia, MD then told my friend. But he went to another CompUSA in Virginia and they wouldn't give him this one as substitute.

I posted this on one of the Iomega 12/4/32 threads but it seemed no one cared.

 

[Gunbuster]

The Iomega 12x10x32 is fully supported by clonecd right?
Read subchan?

 

[Bagger]

Actually I just checked CompUSA's website and they're still selling the 12x4x32 for $149 (The delivery time is listed as 2-4 weeks however), but there's still a possibility they'd substitute the 12x10x32 for $149, you just might not get the rebate. Still a good deal in my book!

 

[TimeKeeper]

Just curious, is there any significant improvement or special feature besides 10X RW vs 4X RW?

Knowing I am so lazy, and unlucky...I might not able to get it...

 

[Tung]

Timekeeper, not really. They're basically the same.

 

[novon]

I think the 10X is a plextor, which makes it a better drive.

just went to compusa, no luck on this deal

 

[l0g0ut]

the difference between 10x rewrite drive and 4x is the 10x drive have burn-proof which is super cooooooool

 

[mwmadbad]

Actually Both the 10x and 4x have burn-proof

 

[l0g0ut]

nope...it's clearly stated here
on iomega's website.... no burn-proof for 4x drives

 

[mcdull]

It's in other thread that someone who got the 12x4x model which has also the burn-proof logo on the box.

 

[TooHotToTouch]

12x4x32 is burn proof, I got one from CompuUSA and $30 MIR.

Wassup:... I dopn't see you posting any hot deals in here... Just becasue you couldn't screw over CompUSA doesn't mean this is a bad deal. Some people took advantage of it some people couldn't... Stop cyring and look up to the next deal

[smartt]

the 10x is faster than the 4x... duh!!! Just kidding!!

 

[Ranger X]

<Crowd starts throwing tomatoes>

Take that Chief!

 

[wasssup]

Krueger81: it's a free country, right? i hate when people tell other people to shuddap, it's the freakin internet for crying out loud, i bet even nerds get their jollies off talkin like punks on the 'net...

 

[uscpte7]

My apologies to everyone for the lame &quot;hot&quot; deal. I didn't realize that the COMPUSA ad was four days instead of the normal seven. Doh!!!

 

[Lore]

uscpte7: entertaining screen play though!
