The rebate states any authorized Maxtor retailer... so you could use it at other places as well. Anyone care to get creative and combine this with coupons or something?

Here is what I would recommend. Buy this drive online at Officedepot with a $15 off $50 coupon, and then call back and pricematch it to Microcenter. They should match the $49.99 price, and with the coupon and the rebate, you would get the drive for $14.99.......

That would be nice! Pick up 4 of these and have a 120GB Raid 0 array! :Q

List of resellers

Maxtor does list Microcenter as a retailer. Therefore this is an excellent find.

The trick is that this is the best price around, now as far as I know. The rebate is manufacturer's one so there is no way to use a copy of UPC. $35-36 sounds like a great deal for 30 gig if you need a cheap drive.

I am not seeing the rebate on maxtor's website, only a $10 expired one for microcenter
could this be a doctored rebate? anyone?

Go to Textand search for Maxtor rebates. I know it is valid because I used it about 3 weeks ago to get a drive for free when combined with another deal. I have already been approved for the rebate.....

Click the link for the online form. It's not a doctored rebate.

I called and tried to pricematch at Office Depot after placing and order online and they said that they don't pricematch online retailers. WTF????

But the OM pricematch policy states that coupons & rebates come off the OM price BEFORE the pricematch, so at best YMMV on that one. Plus, policy states that you'd need to add in the next day shipping price (or $5 if not documented) onto the price being matched.

Moot points I guess since it's OOS at Microcenter...

I just did this deal at my local Officedepot without a hitch. I pricematched to my local Microcenter's $49.99 price, whipped out my $15 off $50 coupon, and walked out with a $17(tax included) hard drive after mailin rebate.....
