Jamey, you're able to use coupons at B&M stores? If so, that would be much easier for me. If anyone can confirm this, please let me know!

Pete,
to my knowledge, it's just luck. If you have a rapport with the manager, then they'll let you use the coupon. I tried it yesterday, but my manager said they don't accept the coupon because it's for the on-line store. But I have heard of people that have an understanding with their manager and get to use the coupon.

I was at cloneclinic this am and someone bought this drive and supposedly upgrade to firmware version 3.27 and now it burns DAO+RAW...I am still not sure about subchannels...looks like a great deal
To burn PSX you will need a reader that I beleive reads subchannel audio/data for many games and can burn DAO+ RAW...check at cloneclinic for more info...I do not use PSX so I have never burned any titles

Yes...in most instances I can use any online coupon at my local B&M. I don't go in to do it unless I either need to exchange something or get something out of stock on the web site. I have done it maybe 10 times. Look at my above post to see what I was able to do. The great thing about my local store, is if they add shipping (when it's not offered on what I'm buying) they may add just the $5 minimum fee. This has only been on a couple of occasions because I try to use free shipping vendors to keep them out of that mind set. I have tried at 2 other staples in towns near me, but niether will allow those coupons unless it is in unusual circumstances (out of stock). Even then they want to give me great grief about it, so I respect their policies and haven't used them since. You should be able to price match at ANY staples though against ANY advertisement. I have gotten some of my best deals like this. Buy the product the best way you can locally...then bring in some really low, cheese ball price off the web....WHAM 50% off or better. Just make sure to get one with picture, product number, in stock, and free shipping if possible printed all on the same page. That makes it kinda hard for them to dispute. I have now just about completed 3 computers through staples except for the MB/CPU/CASE/Monitor.

Damn those ppl at Staples.com, they won't send me the drive cuz they're all out on the warehouse in Los Angeles. But they're website showed that they have 3 available and yet they will allow me to add and purchase from the website but not over the phone for the pricematch thing. The CSR was totally fine when I wanted said I'd like to order the drive, then after I told her I wanted a pricematch she put me on hold forever, came back said that bestbuy.com isn't working. I know they were since I just ordered the same drive 5 min ago, then she puts me on hold again for another 20 min, comes back and said that they can't ship to Los Angeles. I think they've caught on and are being jerks now.

Oh I got you beat Jamey! hehehe I got 2 Maxtor 30GB 7200 ATA100 for 99 bucks each at BB also. And then they had about 25 PS2 and I grabbed one since I ran in the store when they opened hehe. Some guy tried to grab it from me and the security guards escorted him out. His wife had one in her hands so he was trying to get 2.... well they got 0 cause they got kicked out LOL.

CirekL,

The first 25 customers to the store got a free wingman with their purchase. I didn't even know about it until the manager told me about it when he rang me up. I don't have use for it, but it's free!!!

Good deal dulanic. have posted in the maxtor HD post that I wish I coulda gotten the 30 gig drive for the $70 some have gotten it for, but I will take my deal any day over regular full retail with no bonuses. For those of you interested, most all 40 gig maxtor drives from staples are the 45 gig version with ATA 100 support. I have seen in other posts, even if you get the 40 gig version, it can be firmware updated to ata 100 support. I really don't think it will perform noticably better with ata 100 support. The drive supposedly only barely reaches the limit to get a noticable improvement over ata 33. Next year, drives will be able to benefit from the ATA 100 support, but I don't believe any EIDE drives are fast enough to show any improvement more than a slight statistical amount (if that) at this point.

Well I do have one thing to say, BestBuy has one of the crappiest web sites I have used in terms of working correctly.

Their price for this item was excellent, but everything else they sell is way overpriced and can be purchased elsewhere for much cheaper.

Their web store is truely pathetic.

I hear what your saying Tcool. It took me 2 days to get this drive ordered. Every time I hit the "submit" button I got kicked back to the login screen. Called the 888 number and was told I could not order over the phone cuz they could not get into their order system either!
They told me to just keep trying so I did. Finally got the order through a couple hours ago.

Kreggo, why didn't you just go pick one up at the b&M store... would have been much faster - unless you're not close to one...

Staples is SUCK.

Maybe this belongs to brag & moan thread, but I was just told that my order was NOT place because of some system crash they had (but the CSR I placed the order with said everything was fine and that my total was $126.xx)

Now, they tell me they can't modify my order to pricematch bestbuy.com since bestbuy.com no longer has this drive at that price. Well, of course they don't - it was Thanksgiving sale, you morons! Of course, they just ignored my complaint, and so I just asked them to cancel my order.

What the f***??? My feeling is that they are doing this on purpose, but there is nothing I can do... This SUCKS.
