Where?

Rebate expires on June 30th and the deal is a pre-order. It must ship before the 30th... so there is a chance the rebate may not work.

Rebates go by the order/purchase date, not ship date.
As long as you order drive before 6/30, and get the drive and submit rebate before 7-30-06 I dont see how there would be a problem.

I wonder if this was a pricing mistake & that they'll be sending out "ooops...we made a boo-boo" e-mail & cancel the preorders?

I don't think it was a mistake. Large capacity HDs have been pretty cheap for a while now. The Maxtor 200GB 8MBer has been available for ~$50 (after MIR and even with NO MIR) for months now.

This drive is a good deal at $110 shipped, but it's not a "steel".

IMO

Found the 10% rebate form at SD. Not allowed to link to it, but it's easy to find.

I'm getting 199.99 AND 109.99... like I click on the link, and a different price shows up almost randomly.

Wtf? Though when I get the 109.99 and add to cart, it seems like it'll charge me 109.99.

This better not turn out to be like the newegg 160gb deal, lol
