CompUSA has Nero 11 Platinum Software for $40 + $0 shipping (EconoShip) = $40 shipped. Features media creation, management, and sharing tools, express video editing, burning, backups, and more. Frys has it for $30 with free in-store pickup after $50 rebate [Exp 1/5] and $20 rebate [Exp 1/5] (upgrades only).
This deal is in-store only -- unfortunately.
Nero 11 is the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man of burning software..
I have Nero 9, but I haven't installed it because I'm afraid of what it will try to do to my computer.
# 3 I can tell you what it won't do... leave it unbloated.
Nero's bloat isn't a big deal. Install as minimally as they'll allow then disable any unwanted startup items and services. Then you're just left with a few hundred MB of extra HDD space used but unfortunately that's a typical level of waste for products these days... and you can delete most of that if it matters.
Burning software is good. All the rest of the stuff is crap. If you buy, do a custom install to try and avoid the bloatware that's included.
