I went into Office Max this morning to pick up the HP 200I for $149.99 as listed here. However, if you notice there are two skus listed for the drive. The second sku is for the 300I.

I just picked up the 300I (4x dvd burn) for $149.99 plus tax. Nothing like buying myself an early birthday present.

:| Good job. I hope you can sleep at night ripping off companies. I swear you Hot Deal fanatics will do anything to save a few bucks, you cheap bastards. You're the reason that the economy is doing so bad. For shame!

This Thrusday the 24th I woke up @ 7:50AM and was browsing ATOT and Hot Deals... I saw an unbelieveable 120gig WD HD for $23 AR. Amazingly this far fetched deal worked out for me and it is definately the hottest deal I've ever been in on.

nope... it died on the morning of the 24th. The reason it was so hot was b/c a mistake on the rebate page of CC.

There is a deal this Sunday @ OM where you can get a 120gig WD HD and a 48x CD-RW drive for 52... that is a pretty hot deal as well... I'm gonna get in on that. I can probably sell the two drives for at least 160. ^_^

i was thinking of getting it, but then i didn't want to pay for DVD+ media.

also, with dual format drives getting cheaper and HDBURN on the horizon, i talked myself out of it. luckily. :p

That's an awesome deal :cool:

I didn't even know we had an OM in the area. I wish I had been up so I could have gotten in on the action.

How did you spend $120 on a date? A nice meal + drinks? Most I ever spent on a meal was $25 a person + drinks

If my girlfriend expected me to spend $120 on a regular night of the week date (excluding b-days and anniverseries) I would laugh in her face! Of course if you make 200K a year that might be a different situation :)

I can not argue with that... I am definately cheap. However, what is more important, a nice dinner that, in the end, will mean nothing but expensive poop, or rent and tuition? :)

I don't think of it so much as being cheap but having my freagin' priorities in line :)

Maybe when I'm done with grad school I can afford to go to places with dinners that cost more then $25.
