    Something big must be coming up...

    When Staples has the Sony 24x CDRW drive for $119.00 before any rebates or coupons... that must mean that SOMETHING big must be coming up soon that will make this drive (relatively) obsolete.


    What could it be?

    Hmmm... maybe. I was thinking of something more significant. Don't know what, though.

    Yeah... that's where the idea for this thread came from. I wonder if the Staples buyers recently placed an order for 10,000 6x DVD-R drives, or something.

    I just get the feeling that a paradigm-shift is near.

    perhaps there will be a price drop on a DVDR/CDRW combo drive?

    or.. perhaps it is just as cheap to manufacture a 24X CDRW as it is to make a 4X CDRW
