I've never seen a 75GB Western Digital drive. Not even on Western Digital's web site. Anyone???

psiebenshuh & Maelsturm,

I've never heard of a 75GB drive either. The model number on Best Buy's flyer is WD750BBRTL.

The funny thing is that if you do a search on Google for that model, the only two sites that come up are other threads about the Best Buy Black Friday Sale

Maybe there are 5 gigs of bad sectors and they are just trying to get rid of them for cheap


K-squared,
I worked for BB for around 1.25 years and recall a couple cases where A-hole managers would try to screw someone by telling them that if they returned the item after the seal on the box & card are broken that it would then be considered an open-box item and not eligible for the sale that day (this occurred during both the after-Turkey day & Christmas sales). Thats not to say that the employees at your BB will try and pull this cr*p, but I wouldn't put it past them. If you stand your ground and get in the mgr's face they will eventually back down, but it really just depends on the particular person you are dealing with. Overall, YMMV and to be on the safe side I would recommend buying the card and leaving the box, receipt and bag in a corner somewhere that you won't be walking by every two seconds. I am half ready to open the box just to replace my aging GeForce2, but I'll try to control myself

Yup -- I've seen them. They showed up a couple days ago -- no tag on the shelves.

I hope you guys don't think you are getting there before I do. Anyone in Miami area planning on going to Best Buy will see me in the front. This upgrade from a GF2MX will be very nice, and there's no way I'm not gettin one.

DOES THE ADD SAY IN STORE ONLY ? ? ? ? ? ?

Also, what do we have to do to get a $30 giftcard for the XBox bundle?

Thanks....Chris

hddy,
It says 1 per customer, no rainchecks so it must be available in the store, at least for the sale days. A few of the items in the sale have fine print at the bottom that says not available in all stores, but the Advent TV isn't one of them.

Salvador,
No rebates are mentioned. It says quote "$29.99 each after savings" Farther up in the image it says "$40 dollars in total savings", but it doesn't mention anything about rebates or have an * or ^ indicating fine print. Looks like its just a straight sale price, no hassles.

ChrisOjeda,
It says "In Store Only" on just about every page. The $30 Gift card is by mail and requires that you purchase the $199 Xbox Gaming Bundle which includes (this is quoting the add exactly):
XBox Gaming System
Controller S
Jet Set Radio and Sega GT 2002

Tycoonx has offered to host the scans of the flyer so those should be up shortly (if he's still around). The only problem is that I only have an 8.5" by 12" scanner so its gonna be tough to scan in the 11" by 22" pages of the add...

Thanks WinterMinute.....

So when I purchase all those things:
XBox Gaming System
Controller S
Jet Set Radio and Sega GT 2002

Will the total come out to $199.99 or do I have to do rebates because each of those items costs $ ?
Also, isn't the controller inisde the Xbox Console box or are they saying I have to buy an additional controller beyond the one that comes bundles with the Xbox?

The bundle comes with all those items, no individual rebates or anything. Essentially you get those 3 items and pay for them. Knowing the way Best Buy normally does things, an extra receipt will print out at the register that you will have to mail off to get your $30 Gift Card.

It actually doesn't say whether it has a single controller or 2. However, by looking at this page it leads me to believe that its just one controller. Essentially the price is the same if you bought the bundle in Best Buy right now. The ony difference is that you get the Gift Card is you buy it this weekend...

This is much better than the CC thread. I can't even tell what the hell is going to be on sale at CC on Friday. Thanks to those guys posting the info, but I'm not into guessing what to buy and then hoping that I have the correct item to return/rebuy on Friday. This is FAR better! Thanks again!

No Nikon CoolPix or MicroDrives, unfortunately.

Most of the items left that I haven't posted are furniture, a few computer package deals and appliances. I have been working on getting scans up but it is taking WAAYYY longer than I thought it would. It takes 4 scans to get each flyer page in (there are 12 total) and then I have to re-assemble those 4 scans in PhotoShop. Unfortunately I have work in about 5 and a half hours and really need to be getting some sleep. I'll be up in about 5 hours and will answer any posted questions then.

Glad I could be of assistance. Lord knows I cashed in on enough deals from this forum. I never mind giving something back...

Thanks for posting. Too many people are shy to post deals because there are so many lame people on here that like to flame if there is a deal and its not free or close to it.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. It's a specially marked box with the console, a single Controller S (which is the standard controller now with Xbox) and a SINGLE disc which has the full versions of Sega GT 2002 and JSRF, plus movies, previews, etc. One box - out the door.

I bought Halo used at Gamestop last night for $38 (inc. tax). Figures.
