i tried to checkout with 1 hard drive in the cart, but once i tried to pay with paypal (reached the "don't press the back button" screen) it gave me an error to try again later. maybe this has to do with thousands of people ordering with paypal to get the 20 bucks off.


when typing in the promotional code for 20 bucks off next 100, nothing happens. i talked to the newegg support and he said to checkout without typing in any codes. any info on this??

You could, and I'm sure it'd make much more of a difference than a post here.

I couldn't get the $20 off part to work, but it would allow me to use paypal. I ended up calling a CSR, and he said go ahead and place the order while he was on the phone. Then I gave him the order #, and he promptly credited me back $20. I would say call next time.

I tried paying via paypal twice in the last week and both times the ordered crapped out and wouldn't complete. Finally, I emailed them and was told their paypal system was screwed up and not working. They suggested using another form of payment. No date was given when they thought paypal payment would be working again.

I wish y'all would go back to having a one year replacement warranty on all of your products, instead of the limited 30-day refund/replace warranty that is being offered with increasing regularity.
