Nero 9 @ Fry's
Same version offered last year so I'll pass ...



reviews @ Amazom - well ! - not my favorite - but free is free! go w/Corel if you have a choice!

You are right. We should have ebayed those. Sitting and collecting dust.

Funny thing is you spend hours trying to get this deal and put it on eBay then someone who's never even spent a single second on this deal clicked on the item on eBay and bought it for almost nothing. You also spend gas and time shipping the item so the buyer can enjoy the fruit of YOUR labor. That's why I tend to just give it away or donate it


I have to wait until Thanksgiving every year to buy my software!

Read the rebate forms, it differs for each product.

From the Pinnacle rebate:

The original user’s manual title page from a previous
full retail version of any qualifying software title, or
the qualifying software title’s CD
(See list of qualifying
software titles at right. OEM or pre-installed versions
are not qualifying software titles)

Good question!
A photocopy of the original installation disk is usually acceptable...


Thanks, ordered one.


I know that a photocopy of the CD is usually acceptable, but does anyone have specific experience with an upgrade rebate (ie sending in a photocopy of the CD) from the rebate center at White Bear Lake, MN?

I remember that Pinnacle did say NO to CD copy for the upgrade rebate last year.


is the site F'ed up ?


is there any CashBack through any site or CC to cover tax for Frys purchase?


Thanks OP. Still happily using version 11 but what the heck. Can't pass up the free upgrade.

Thanks for linking the other software. I missed seeing them at the Frys.com website.


It seems that Fry's.com only sent me an acknowledgment email. Is that the so-called "dated receipt" for rebates? Thanks

Wait after the order gets shipped and then log in to your frys account; you will see a link to print the proof of purchase (invoice). I always use this for rebates without any problems.

Thanks for the information

FWers are always golden with valuable information!


Pinnacle Ultimate v14 states in store pickup only. No Fry's near me.


normally Fry's requires to pick up the same day.


Is it just me or the $20 upgrade rebate for NERO doesn't mention anything about having a previous/competitor version of the software?

To receive your rebate:
1. Purchase Nero 9 between 09/29/08 and 03/31/10 and get $20.00 back by mail.
2. Send in the following: 1) This completed rebate form, 2) A copy of the receipt showing purchase of Nero 9, and 3) A copy of
the UPC barcode(s) from Nero 9 (UPC 6-58657-50000-0, 6-58657-50001-7, 6-58657-50010-9, 6-58657-50011-6,
6-58657-50519-7, or 6-58657-50013-0).
3. Mail to: Offer #18547
Nero 9 Competitive / Upgrade $20 Rebate
PO Box 22092
Tempe, AZ 85285-2092

Does that mean I don't need to have a previous version of Nero to get this rebate?!?


I ordered this but cancelled when I realized there's a MORE ultimate version with extra filters and a cloth green screen. I'm hoping that version will be FAR by New Years.


Unavailable.

Ver 12 Ultimate never got to be FAR
the furthest they got was the Plus ver FAR


can get it so upset. frys oos except b&m.

anybody else has this deal?

edit: Corel is still available. but I need to find some old software to get the 30.


mnsweeps said: is there any CashBack through any site or CC to cover tax for Frys purchase?Not that I've found.


lovingthesaving said: edit: Corel is still available. but I need to find some old software to get the 30.The Corel upgrade rebate is easy because they will take a CD photocopy as upgrade proof. Pinnacle and Nero want originals.

That is excellent to know. I just jumped on the Adobe photoshop+premier deal for 74 at bb.

now i can get the upgrade, but still forking some money for software. but I don't mind, I would rather little money and get started on some useful software.

and there is no way I would send the previous copy of disks to these other video editing, after I spent what I did.


Hey, lovingthesaving

You got me excited thinking I could get Adobe Photoshop for 74 (US dollars?). It's only Photoshop Elements, for $150 today, unless you found it in some secret place.

no I made an error: It was photoshop elements with premier elements :fatwallet link to deal

I should be more careful sorry, and I really don't know all the differences in the software as I just started getting in to this type.


FS is back.

Got one last night. Latest version of Ultimate 14 for free AR, a very good deal IMHO.

I have been using all three (Pinnacle Studio, Nero, and PSP) since about 2003. I just upgraded this year... because I upgraded to Win7 and all of my old versions were buggy to varying degrees. This comes at exactly the right time if you are like me and ran XP for 8 years, skipped Vista, and now find yourself going to Win7 with a lot of applications from before 2006.

Anyone has a scan of their CD? I bought it without reading that there is an upgrade rebate involved.
