Well, I bought the 30.7GB drive from Staples.com for $163.49+tax minus the $40 coupon. Came out to about $131 or so. Then I was going to send in the $30 rebate. However, I found out that it is an OEM drive when I got my package. I was about to call up and complain when I found something even better. Buy.com has the same drive for $135 here: http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10225293&loc=101! So I called up and told them about it. The guy put me on hold and checked it out. He said it looked legit and asked me if I knew how much overnight shipping from Buy.com was (because I got my shipment overnight and they match the final price, including tax and shipping). I told them I didn't know and he said he couldn't find it. So he put me on hold to talk to his manager. A couple of minutes later he returned and told me that he was going to credit me $28.49 ($163.49-$135)!!! This is even better than the rebate, because I get it for almost the same price (only $1.50 more) and I don't have to fill out forms or wait or play games with Western Digital. Woohoo!
Thanks again for the great find, Girdogg!
