I can't believe I missed out on this one. I've been waiting for a good CDR deal to pop up here for a month or two, now. I just need to check more often, I guess. :/

I'm sorry to hear that your drive was packaged so carelessly, Inertia; I hope they begin packaging their drives better soon.

Best Buy charges tax

I wouldn't have ordered the labels except for the bundled deal. Look for them on E-bay.

cfitz wrote:Best Buy's master plan to get rid of a huge overstock of Avery CD labeling systems: Offer a nice burner at an irresitable price, but require purchase of the useless labeler kit to get that price. Then ship the labeler kit while backordering the drive until the rebates are no longer valid. At this point Best Buy has unloaded all the worthless labelers and will either not have to ship the drives, because people cancel their orders, or receive full price for the drives, because they don't have to honor the rebate. Sheer evil genius! cfitz

I was wrong about what I said earlier; only my label kit shipped, not my drive. BTW, I had to pay 6% tax on mine, too.
