I was quoting prices at my local stores including Computer City. I have 
not seen these 3 packs of EZ carts yet and in single quantity they cost 
(here) around $21 (either $20.95 or $21.95). I've seen people claim "$20" 
but whenever I go I find that they are rounding down from the prices I 
just stated (I guess adding that 95 cents really DOES work ;-) ).

The point, however, is that there is no significant savings for EZ 
cartridges over Zip.
