    how to deal at B&M stores (help needed)

    Plain and simple I suck at negotiating. I'm planning on getting a new stereo system Klipsch Rx-7 series system and a denon 3805.

    (Updated) Plextor PX-712A "12x" DVD±R/RW Drive "$164.99" or Artec 12x/8x "$82.00" & Optorite 12x/8x "$89.00" shipped

    I remember reading that at 16x the RPM is quite high Philips said the discs could literally be in danger of shattering from the force, so they predicted 16x would be it. Of course everyone kept saying moore's law would be dead too but its still going strong. We'll just have to wait and see i...

    WD 7200 80GB 8mb $39.99 AR @ Best Buy!! Expires 11/22/03

    i was thinking that too, but its just such a hassle to deal with the crowds. To save what 10$? or get an extra few gigs for the same price. This is easy aside from the rebates

    HOT!!!!! 250GB WD IDE HD at Circuit City for $84.10

    so if i printed out the rebates earlier when i had the 2 rebates but haven't purchased it yet do you think it will still be valid? cause the rebate does say between the 16th and 22nd. hmm so tempting

    250GB WD IDE HD available at Amazon also for $84.10 AR, any amazon coupon could be combined?

    so it seems my local circuit city has the drive, its not going to be a problem to use the "old" form that shows through the 22nd is it? circuit city site is wrong about availability nm
