Maxtor 160gb drive $45 AR/PM Starting 1/2 ymmv

[Garlic]

On 1/2 Compusa will have the Maxtor 160gb drive for $69.99 no rebate. Office depot will have it for $105 with a $25 rebate.

Have Office depot price match the compusa price and....

$69.99 - $25 rebate = $45

Simple and decent deal...

Put YMMV ... OD won't PM something with a rebate normally

I agree with Dogbertt, OD has shot this type of deal down every time that I've tried. I don't even bother more.

~.44 /gig not bad. wish it was 200GB same price ratio INSTANT... 2MB cache or not bleh, decent for cheap mobile external drive

I went to CRAPUSA to pickup a HD for my gramps, and was gonna get that 160GB drive because it was marked as $69.99. Went to ring it up and they wouldn't sell it to me because the sale starts tomorrow. I start arguing that they put that price up there so they better honor it, and finally they just sold me the drive for $69.99. This is why I do all my shopping online.......

How did you end up with 44 cents per gig.
45/160=.28125.

Sorry i was referring to compusa price.. 70/160 ~ .44

No rebate price per gig.

Dang, wish I had remembered that OD had these, too. I picked one up at CompUSA this afternoon.

Something else to look out for: I was in a couple of Best Buy stores today as well, and they both had Maxtor 250GB/7200RPM/8MB/PATA drives on clearance for $145.

It's actually 8MB cache. Did a PM at Staples which has it for $129.98.

$69.99 - 5.99 (110% price guarantee) = 64.00 / 160 = $0.40 per GB

Nice.

These deals were in the Sunday paper fliers, so they should be good all week.

I reserved 4 of the Maxtors at CompUSA this week... went in to pick 'em up today, and they were out of stock! Manager decided to substitute the Seagate 160GB's instead, heheheh... Score!
