Frys & Outpost Raptor 74G $149 AR

[HumblePie]

YAYAYAY!!!!! wahoo, newegg has the rebate back.

Thank GAWD!

Since I live in Texas, a state with a few Fry's stores, I get charged taxes at fry's. But, since texas is so big, it would cost me a full tank of gas to go to that store and back (easily $20) and alot of my time. If I ordered it online, I'd still get dinged for shipping with tax. So that killed the rebate for me from fry's/outpost these past couple of weeks. This mean it was just easier and cheaper to order from newegg at $175 shipped.

So been shopping around for one off a private seller, they've all been asking 150-160 price range. I knew if I waited, had a little patience, the rebate would come back to newegg. And it did!!!! yay!!! Thanks to whomever pointed that out, you made my frikking day. Rather buy from newegg and deal with a rebate to get something at $150 then off a private seller who could easily rip me off. (no offense to the good sellers out there)

I do not see the Outpost rebate?Is this deal dead?

yah the outpost one is dead as of today but the NEgg deal is very good though if you have a fry's in your area (like me) $154 (179.99 - $25 mfg rebate) + $2 S/H outside of cali. I payed $172 for mine so i ended up paying $20 more with the Frys deal

Thanks for the link. My 120GB Special Edition still holds up well in most situations. No Raptor for me.
