Thanks for the link. I'm in NC so Fry's is too far,,,, but BB is close. Too bad the Western Digital 75G is so different. Can't even find specs on the WD site.

I'm in Houston, what are the odds that the one at West Rd. will have this same sale?

 

[MikroMak]

I scored 2 of them today, they're the 8mb cache versions, very sweet deal although they are limit 1 per customer I asked some nice gentleman I didn't know to buy one for me. OOS now, infact OOS about 30 minutes afer they opened...

So anyway I couldn't get in on this deal I was at Staples right when it openned. So anyway I got there about 1.5 hrs after they openned anyway it was a madhouse. Every special item was taken. AND the line was just INSANE, the line wrapped through the store down nearly every aisle. I talked to some people at the front and they said they were waitting for the store to open and were waitting in line for over an hour (mind you the store had been open not even 2 hours yet)!

I'm sorry but I really hate Frys now. There were just empolyees sitting around the store in groups talking, and making no attempt to control the line. BTW the line didn't make any sense and apparently nobody was coordinating it. I'm sorry but it is rediculous and Frys would not have my business that way!

I'll second that, for quite a while they didn't even have all their checkout lanes open, but they still had employees standing around chit-chatting... At these prices though you put up with it.
I'd be happy to tell you per platter GB if you'll tell me how to tell.
