I bought the WD 120 GB at omax on BF. I can't find the western digital rebate. The PDF at Microcenter says only valid for purchases at Microcenter.
BTW the product description at Microcenter says that this drive has a 3 year warrantee.
$79.95 ($40+$30 MIR) - Maxtor L01P160 - OfficeDepot SKU:447679

If you have frys in your area.
get CC to PM frys price of 209 before MIR.
CC has it for 249.99 - 100 mir.
so 249.99 - 45.09(110% difference) - 100 MIR = 104.90 + tax. That's anywhere from 42 cents a gig(no sales tax) to 49 cents a gig(8.25% sales tax)
What's good is some CC still have the the Western Digitals with 3 year warranty.
This shouldn't be a hard PM worst you could do is they'll PM so after MIR it'll be the same. for a 3 year warranty I wouldn't mind extra 5 bucks.

Just tried to do this, customer service guy refused to PM because the rebates would not be valid?

Gawd....WD used to offer 5 year warranties, then three, now one...and after the date of manufacturer?? Next I suspect that both will warranty for one year beyond the CEO's date of birth! I lament that there are no IBM's listed... I've burnt out six hard drives (WD & Maxtor about equally) (since 1983) and they seem to not only be warranteed less and less...and they last less and less. Anyone know of where to find "reliability" reviews?

Just went and bought one (with 3-yr warranty) from CC. They were reluctant to PM...took half an hour and said that they don't match "limited quantities on hand" deals, blah blah. But they finally did match Fry's $209.99 price. No extra 10% for the price difference though. So it came out to be $227.30 after 8.25% in taxes, $127.30 after $100 MIR. Not too shabby.
