weird, my walmart closes at midnight and sometimes 11.

 

[blueshoe]

Best Buy has this Toshiba Notebook for $380. It says that it is not available online and you cannot simply add it to the cart. However, if you click on the Service Plan link, it will add it to your cart with the service plan (which can easily be removed).

The price in the cart is $380. Do you guys think that it will actually ship? I mean, it seems like they obviously don't want you to get it this way online.

Walmart is 24/7 but their sales dont start till 5am. Compusa was open at midnight, but I didn't see anything there.

AFAIK only SuperCenters are 24/7. The WalMart here is closed.

Well, I just ordered it. I guess we'll see what happens.

Maybe I'll try and go pick up the WalMart laptop just incase that BB order gets cancelled, and then sell one if I end up with two.

Any stores open at 5AM other than CompUSA?

[Ricemarine]

Nooo compusa didn't stock up on hitachi.

 

[BD231]

Just got back from compusa.

Got 2x 200gig 8mb drives for 30 bucks each aftrmir.

Bought 2 like a jackass . . . . . . If anyone wants the 2nd drive just send a PM. Throw me $120 and I'll send the drive plus rebate's.

Also, there were quite a few of these drives available. If anyone would like me to grab one for them just shoot me a PM as well and I'd be happy to help.

Yeah, Compusa had a lot of these...
Don't know why.

Compusa has the 160 GB (had at least) SATA drive, which I needed really badly. But, poof, they didn't bother stocking up on it. Made by Hitachi.

 

[BD231]

Ohhhhh, yeah I didn't see those around the comp usa by me either. At first I couldn't find the Seagate's so the hitachi was the next best thing.

Sorry man .

meh.
now imma have to do a lot of changing in my pc...

my original intentions were...

160 GB SATA
300 GB SATA
then add on 300 GB IDE's. which were previously 160 GB IDE and a 80 GB IDE

but now, durr.
160 GB IDE - Either external enclosure, sata adapter, or trade for sata
80 GB - Either external enclosure, or sell
200 GB - I have to go to staples and buy a maxtor 200 GB...

Ugh more selling on AT fs/ft.

 

[PHiuR]

Wow...I got to my local BB at 4:59 and there were 200-400 people waiting in line walking in.

I had 3 things in mind.

1: Razr
2: cdrs/dvdrs for $3
3: WoW for $25.

found out the razr requires a contract! doh. shouldn't have even went.
but I did pick up the last pack of cdrs that was out. and got a game that will keep me occupied until eternity.

It was an experience...seeing soo many people at BB @ 5:15AM.
bed time.

You better go to Staples quick. The Maxtor 200GB were selling like mad. I didn't even get close to the place they were selling them. However, a friend grabbed 5 of those and only needed 4. I got the 5th one

I picked up from CompUSA-

1xSuper LanBoy ($30 AR)
1x160GB Hitachi (7k250 confirmed) ($40 AR)

Took me 2hours, in by 12AM out by 2AM. 200 people.

So many people were just going into the store and coming out with nothing. Other people were buying things that werent even on sale!

 

[JohnCU]

I wish we had a Compusa near here. I really really wanted a SATA hadrdrive and i would have love to get that one. Now i need to go out and try and get a cheap IDE i guess. Although those are all probably gone by now too

 

[iamwiz82]

Scored:

Craftsman Rolling Tool Chest for $89
5HP 10 Gallon Shop Vac for $25
152 piece drill bit kit for $15
Lola got a cashmere sweather for $39 and some boots at Sears lots of christmas crap at Michaels

I'll let the geeks fight for the laptops at BB, it's not worth it.

My COMPUSA is less than 2 mins away (a mile). Also, my mistake, the harddrive is 19.99 AR.

Just ordered one myself. Did the service contract, the lappy popped up in the cart, then went and removed the service contract from the cart. $423 with tax and shipping......
