Nice price! Too bad there's no Fry's around here.

Do you guys know if any place still has a valid $100 rebate on the old WD drive? The WD1000BB?

Hi,

My name is nosox, and I'll be your designated thread crapper for today. =)

This is a good deal, it sucks that you get taxed on the $300 though.

 

[Atomics]

Anyone know if these are retail boxed or bare drive?

 

[rmrfhomeoops]

Is the rebate a instant rebate or mail-in rebate? If its instant rebate that would be tremendous deal. Also if its mail-in-rebate, does the rebate form come with every Western Digital 120GB drive (model: WD1200BB)? That way you can buy it online if Fry's not avilable locally.

WD Fry's rebate deals are always exclusive to them and are always mail in.

The ad in the Fort Worth paper says that it is a Retail Boxed Hard Drive. But, the fine print next to the $299.95 price says "After mail-in rebate".

 

[iwearnosox]

I think you mean $199 after rebate, not $299.

 

[oLLie]

The fine print refers to the fact that you get $100 cash back (after a mail in rebate) as opposed to $100 cash back right after you pay for the thing at the counter (which would be pointless).

Does anyone know if the rebate on the WD1000BB is still good or expired?

Thanks!

I quoted the ad correctly, but I called Fry's to ask. The person I talked to said that the $299.95 price is before the rebate, not after. My bad ... sorry

Ollie, usually the rebates last for 2 weeks or so for these drives. I checked the mail in period and there wasnt much leeway at all too.
Yep the drive is retail boxed. I went and got the 80gb a few weeks ago and the girl told me that i would get the rebate in a month..so far i havent seen it yet.

I got two $100 rebates on the 60gb promo some months back, they took about 7 weeks to arrive. The important part is that they did, though.
