In theory, the 8MB allows your HDD to be read more efficiently. It allows four times the data to be retrieved from a "short term" memory from the HDD instead of accessing the entire drive. I don't honestly think its that much better, but hey, the warranty is for 3 years instead of 1, so its got to be worth something.
damn i already have 2 HD @ 40 gb each and 2 CD-RWs
no more place on my mobo to connect this 120gb..
any suggestions??
where exactly did you find this deal? i would like to know VERY much so i can verify it! i REALLY want one of these things!!!!
Have you ever heard of the Canadian that switched to B?
where did u get this? is this only in store offer? cause its still says 179.99 for me.
you know you want it... so why not have it?
Guys its only an InStore ...
coz i was there in the morning and i saw the offfer..but i didnt pay much attention to it..then when i see this thread i realized how damn good an offer it was..and could not find it online..so yah its an inStore..
another thing how do we price match to something that is not advertised?
steal the bestbuy price display??? lol and bring it to circuit city??
you know you want it... so why not have it?
looooooool @ carasage.. i was thinking the same thing !
ill try this now. how about asking circuitcity call BB?
Stupid CC.. i went to the 2 BB in my areas..both had the WD OOS..so i went to CC and bought it for 188 $..walked out..walked back in asking fora price match..lady calls up BB..BB says yah we got it for 79 $..so the woman says its the same price as US... i said no.. y'all have it go 188 $..thats over 100 $..then she siad thats before rebates.. i said doesnt matter.. i paid 188 $ cash not 79$..then a manager walks over and says.. u have 2 choices..either take our one and wait for th4 rebates or drive down to BB and buy it from there..then he siad " ooh wait..they're OOS "
stupid prick..
I just went to my local BB and the 120gb were all sold out, even 2 other stores. :x Originally, I was going to purchase it, bring the receipt to CC and have them price match it, but looks like that won't happen. Even if CC price matches, the item must be in stock from BB.
Spoofe Admin..they didnt do aprice match..the CSR claimed that BB and CC had the same prices..the only difference was the rebates..
was that a legit claim?
Called every best buy in town ( Louisville, KY ), price is 159.99.
All OOS here too.. Cincy, OH.. Oh well, one guy said they had a bunch on Sunday and they were all snagged up, another said that $79.99 was the wrong price and they wouldn't be selling them for that if they got some back in this week...
Everyone seemed kinda pissed like I was the 50th guy who called em about it...
