WD 120GB 8MB $79.99, 80GB $59.99 off the shelf, no rebates!

BestBuy has a 120GB 8MB cache Special Edition Western Digital for $79.99 and tax off the shelf

Also a 80GB 2MB Western Digital for $59.99 off the shelf

Circuit City has the Western Digital 7200RPM 120GB 8mb buffer Internal Hard Drive for $79.99 shipped after rebate.

Note : Bestbuy in-stores (not advertised) has the same hard drive for $79.99 without rebates. If you can pricematch to Bestbuy, you have made $20 and a free hard drive. In this case, the hard drive cannot be purchased online.

1. Click here to go to Circuit City.
2. Search WD1200JBRTL ( Hard Drive : $179.99 )
3. Rebate Price1 : -$80.00 ( Send Original UPC )
4. Rebate Price2 : -$20.00 ( Send Copy of UPC )
Final Price : $79.99
 
Could some one plz explain 8MB cache ?

WHats the difference between 2mb and 8mb cache in a HD ? thanks
 
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!!!!
 
where did u get this? is this only in store offer? cause its still says 179.99 for me.
 
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??
 
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...
 
I just went to best buy to see the WD 120 GB 8 MB, and the price is $99.00, not $79.99 :confused: ???? And I try to go to the other best buy, they don't even have that in stock at all ..... :evil:
Well, I wanna know what states are selling that hard drive for $79.99 ..... By the way, I am in New York Long Island.
 
Got the pricematch

Went to BB, they didn't have in stock, but allowed me to place an order at the same price to pickup later. Took the receipt to CC, bought a one for 179.99, went to customer support and pricematched it for $79.99. It took some resistance on their part, but got it.

Later a friend of mine went to CC with my BB receipt and tried the same. But this time they did not allow. Thanks spoofee for the tip ! :D
 
Western Digital HD

Ok guys....here is the deal.... I have right now...the hard drive that was up on the main page. I will tell ya how it went.... First off, the hard drive at BB was 90.00 -10.00 mail-in-rebate, and that ended several days ago.. So the listed price now, is 90.00. Ya gotta go to CC, buy one...get the number to BB that has one of the HD in stock, then go into CC and give them the number to call...... I ended up getting my Price match, and rebates.....BUT... the CC rebate might not come in, because they have everything done electronically, and the new receipt that they give you shows that they did a price match... The CC rebate is only 20.00 and the Western Digital is 80.00. So if all goes well, i will at least get my WD rebate back....and have only paid 20.00 in all.....
 
dealfinder ur lucky.. CC did not allow a price match..claiming that there price was also 79$ after rebates.. i argued but the manager was very stubborn..

Oh man, you are very lucky!!! I went to BB and ask them for the hard drive, the guy told me like there was 3 of them 15 mins ago, and nothing left now..... :( And I asked him the same thing for getting the same price and pickup later, they said that they cannot do that .... :(
