UPDATE: when u buy it front best buy, look on the backside thru the plastic, it will probably read 200.0 gb, so its an even better deal!
ok so for the western digital 160gb hd, theres this crazy deal going on, now, in order to get this, u have to be crafty, and have a best buy and microcenter near you
microcenter has this hd for 209.00 - 30 instant - 70 wd rebate = 109
best buy has 199.99 - 30 BB rebate - 70 wd rebate = 99.99
ok, 2 things, number 1, the wd rebate for microcenter gets sent to a different place, AND you only need to send in the capacity label, the one that says 160 gb's, and u send the UPC to the other wd rebate u got from bb, and for the 30 dollar bb u only need a copy of the UPC
heres the great part, buy it for 199.99 then get it price matched to microcenter's 179.00 so u get a 10% of 20.99 discount as well, send in rebate, total is less than 10 bucks + tax,
2 tricks, first trick, u have to buy the hd from microcenter and return it, but keep a copy of the receipt and get the rebate form, cuz u only need the capacity thing to get the rebate, ( im not sure if thatll work if u returen it, but what the hell)
second, and harder trick maybe, u need a best buy that doesnt have a**holes in the cc desk, and that will pirce match the 179.00 cuz u have the receipt from icrocenter, be sure to buy it before, because if they see 30 instant rebate, they wont match it, but it donly reads 179.00 and makes no mention of instant rebate on the microcenter receipt
Update from HotDealz: The instant savings SHOULD apply to the price matching at Best Buy. You can print the Current Savings page, which is the front page of their current flyer, from their website and price match it to that. It is blurry, but it worked for me.
ahh, all good fun, an dmy first post, im gonna do this with 2 hd, if i get all rebates, schweet if i only get the BB ones, what the hell it still only cost slike 80 bucks = )
comments appreciated
