Not as great of a deal as those americans are getting, but still pretty cheap:

future shop maxt0r 30GB 7200 rpm drive - 249.99

110% price match with pccanada.com's price of 229.99 (scroll down to 7200rpm drive section)

50 Dollar rebate valid until Nov 30, 2000

works out to around 178 plus tax. I'm not sure if they'll charge you for shipping or whatever, I'm going to try this out tommorow at the local store. hope this helps out, good luck!

i can never find a rebate for the 20gig version....i got my from futureshop for 259$ now i can get a 30gig for less...argh

 

[buffboy]

shoot! that's a horrible price i could get like an 80 gb 5400 rpm hd for less than that

 

[Kaiser__Sose]

futureshop does pricematches!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?
how ?!!?!?!?!?!??!

if i knew this they'd be bankrupt by now.

 

[RedRooster]

~$200 for an 80GB drive, buffboy???
Please tell me where, I'm gonna stock up!

 

[GetInMyFatBelly]

Buffboy, that's Canadian, not bad price for that drive...
I would go with the buy.com new 30GB Maxtor Plus 45 drive for around $121. this is the new H4 ATA100 drive.

hey i've got a brand new, unopened, sealed in anti-static bag 45gb western digital hard drive for $250 canadian, no tax. save yourself about $100. Comes with manuals, ultra-ata66 ide cable, screws and jumpers. will deliver in greater vancouver area. willing to ship as well to anywhere if buyer foots the bill. email me at mase2500@hotmail.com with any questions.

I dought FutureShop will price match the drive at PC Canada. The drive at PC Canada is OEM while the FutureShop drive is retail boxed.

I havent' been down yet to try it out, going after my midterm this afternoon (lets hear it for art history ;P ), but I'll update you guys. A lot of you guys are complaining, please post if you can find a better deal for canadians. I've been looking, and I'd love to save more. thanks

No way in hell Futureshop B&M would pricematch this... they won't even pricematch their B&M prices with their own online store prices.

Futureshop pricematch!! Let's just dream!! It might happen but not this century.

 

[elSmoko]

what? really? i didn't get a chance to go down today.. but they've always 110% pricematched for me...
and pricematched 100% their online store. I got my video camera for 1709 as per the website, but it was supposed to be 1749 in store. and they pricematched 100% some dv tape prices from a toronto store with a little hassle... and I'm in regina heh. so good I guess your mileage may vary

How do you price match with them? go down to the store and say their website has lower prices?? and ask them to match it?

 

[elSmoko]

yep, its exactly what you do. I never ended up trying this deal though... but that is how it worked with my video camera.
