Rex · 04-22-2003, 07:28 PM

that is a tempting deal, thanks for bringing it up! you ever check out techbargains.com ?

TDF · 04-22-2003, 07:31 PM

sweet jeebus..that would go great for my xbox mod..

xerox · 04-22-2003, 07:33 PM

Its 99 after rebates... man dont trust rebates, Sears/Circuit City and CompUSA never send you you're money. I'v sent in about 10 rebates and I haven't received any.

FlyingIguana · 04-22-2003, 07:35 PM

they don't ship to canada?

CAREFUL! I was thinking the same thing but the xbox only recognizes HDDs which are 140 gig and smaller (120 gig to be safe)

thats what directions are for

asuna · 04-22-2003, 07:46 PM

I just orded 30 of them

Pipecrew · 04-22-2003, 07:48 PM

fuck who cares about the rebate, at that price, thats unreal, I was looking at 120 gig drives in canada and they were about 250
so thats like 175 USD

bigdaddyc187 · 04-22-2003, 07:48 PM

I think it is only 1 rebate per household.

i've got a 160Gb drive in my v1.0 xBox w/ no problems, i thought 160Gb was the acknowledged barrier, according to those over at xbox-scene.com..?

Pipecrew · 04-23-2003, 10:20 AM

I had to email them since I live in canada and wanted one, this is the response I got

"I will be out of the office starting 04/21/2003 and will not return until 11/16/2006.

Thanks for your patronage I have moved on with a different oppurtunity. Please contact Steven @ [email protected].

Thanks"

i got the same thing, motherfuckers

FreeNetPass Steve · 04-23-2003, 10:28 AM

Looks like a nice addition to a Tivo

And rebates... I have always gotten my money back from them if I mailed them in the first place.

Jake · 04-23-2003, 10:29 AM

Damn, you can't beat that deal even on some cheap assed HD - That's incredible for a Western Digital, with or without the rebate. Going to get one now. THANKS BIGDADDY!

Stallion · 04-23-2003, 10:29 AM

says they are sold out now online.

dont think xbox will support anything over 130

sandman! · 04-23-2003, 11:46 AM

I picked up the same drive a few weeks ago when comp usa had a 6 hour sale its actually a 180 gig drive and you get a free ata-100 or ata-133 controller with it in case your system does not support that big of a drive definatly a good deal.

AdultNex · 04-23-2003, 04:39 PM

For those of you who're paranoid, this rebate center is fast.

Unlike most of the other CrapUSA rebate centers-- Which are very slow.

With prices that are that low its not a surprise that they cant keep them on the shelf.

I heard Fry has these HD's for sale at the same price, anyone have a link?

VirtuMike · 04-23-2003, 06:17 PM

CompUSA SUCKS HAIRY MOOSE BALLS.

They owe me a couple hundred bucks for those rebates. The best was the time they sent me a postcard asking for more proof I bought the item (the UPC and receipt are apparantly not enough) and told me I had until 5 days prior to getting the postcard to get them this info.

I remember when they were a reasonable store. Not anymore!

No problem I will keep you fuckers posted on anything else I find.

kozmo · 04-23-2003, 07:03 PM

I've always had good luck with getting CompUSA rebates back. Usually takes 4 months, but they always come. Too bad these are sold out. Rainchecks?
