Thanks bill for fine job, look like this week is Memorex week also Staples having the same items on sale as last week.

[bill]

Is Pioneer still putting that nice software bundle in the box with their retail drives? If I remember correctly Ulead was included??


EDIT, More ads have been listed in the first post.

As for the DVR-710:
Last time BB had 'em on sale, I picked one up.

Out of the box, drive id's as a DVR-111D.

Software bundle was just the Nero OEM suite.

[rmdir]

The Memorex DVD at OfficeMax is a typo-price is $30 for 100. I just got back, ready to buy 5 or 10 spindles. Damn, should have been there at 9 today.

[Justin42]

It should be noted that CompUSA is running a deal to get the Philips 642 DVD player (plays Divx [although apparently not the absolutely latest versions], raw MPEGs, and can be hacked to be region free) free with purchase of Easy Media Creator 9.

I ended up biting on that one since I had been looking for a new region free player (Even if it's not the highest end) and EMC 9, so $70 for both (After $70 in rebates) isn't bad.

You can get it online but must buy the bundle, you can't just put both in your cart...

Toss in one of the 50-pack Sony media for $12.99 and you get free shipping. (For going over $150)

I found that my local Bestbuy has MIJ Fuji CD-Rs, the ones on sale. I assume Fuji went back to TY? Also, there are a few Sony MIJ DVD-R, the ones on sale. Something to look for if you're shopping.

Bummer.

I guess Pioneer decided to shave a few bucks off the cost of their product. If I remember correctly, the 8, 9 and 10 series (maybe others) shipped with a Ulead package. It was a nice deal for folks that were just starting out with writers and new camcorder etc..

Thanks

Nice, I'm actually low on CD-Rs. Time to visit Best Buy.

Thanks!

Nice deal!

Nero 7 is still in the box at my house Any info on how well EMC 9 is working at this time? I didnt notice any patches at Roxio yet.

those were Axx drives: A07, A08, A09,A10. i don't know was there an A11 (equiv. of 111)?
evidently DVR-710 is a different retail package.
also the Axx drives had a different faceplate and also some other features were different and different firmware, whereas (i might be wrong here) the DVR-710 is the same drive as the 111D just in a different packaging.

Yeah, its only available in select markets though. Unfortunately, the US isn't one of them. We're too cheap.

Yes, now that you mention it, I do have some of the Pioneer model numbers mixed up in the back of my head.

The Ulead software bundle did ship with the DVR-R100 retail box (drive model= DVR-110D) but I think that was because the A10XL didn't ship to North America. Sound right?

I miss the Axx line of drives, they look great!
