WD 120GB HD for $14.99 + tax at BestBuy

Drive is in this week's Best Buy flyer.
There is a $20 in-store coupon HERE that you can print, and TWO $30 mail in rebates that print out at the register.

The WD 120 GB drive is $94.99 - $20 = $74.99 - $30 - $30 = $14.99 + tax (based upon $74.99 of course). So a little over $21 final cost on average.

Double Dang! One day, too late. They sure didn't tell me about it.

Thanks for the heads up craftech,

Snagged one this AM when the store opened. I think it will become an external HD after I buy an enclosure for it.

There were several special deals at Fry's on Monday. 200 gig HD for $30 from Seagate, plus the 300 gig HD with firewire enclosure for $99.

I don't pay tax on this in Texas if I use them specifically for video/film (a tax exempt option to encourage local filming)

Move to Oregon and you never pay sales tax!

I got one of these today, but I'm going to use it in my Tivo to augment the standard 40GB drive. I got the Tivo box for free a few months ago when I signed up for "lifetime" service for $300. From what I now hear, I hope Tivo is around long enough for me to recoup my investment.

I'm waiting for the 500GB drives to drop to $99--maybe by this time next year...

...one of the on-line rebate forms state "on line order receipt". Now, if you go into a store to purchase and redeem $20 instant (good)...but do you think they would honor in store receipt in-lieu of on-line receipt?

Thanks

I wondered the same thing. What really happens, however, is that the on-line rebate forms are not used; the clerk at the checkout register prints the forms directly and you use those.

=========
I am sorry guys, I thought I made that clear in my post, but I probably should have emphasized it more. Circuit City does the same thing with their rebates as does BJ's. I am happy some of you got the deal.

Just wanted to mention that both $30 rebate checks arrived less than a week after submitting the requests. Usually this is a multi-month affair, so I'm pleasantly shocked.
