[OLD]Western Digital 120GB HD, $40 AR at Circuit City

Mermaidman · May 23, 2004

CC's website shows the Western Digital 120GB hard drive for $120-$80 rebates. B&M only. This is the 8MB cache version.

Are the parallel ATA drives being cleared out in anticipation of SATA?

edit: 2 Circuit City MIR ($30 and $50)
Model WDC WD1200JBRTL
attempt@linky

edit: There is a big thread on this deal at FW, but a lot of stupid posts there. Anyway, I picked up the last one on display in the Charlotte university store. The sales clerk said there were more in the back. Strange thing was, when I went to pay, the register wouldn't allow the sale because it showed zero units in stock. After waiting 10 minutes for the cashier to have it fixed, I finally got the HD. Both rebates printed out at the register. One other thing, the shelf tag did mention both rebates.

edit 5/27: AfroPuff reports that the $50 rebate expired on 5/26. I looked at copies of my rebate forms, which printed out at the register, and they both expire on 5/29. CC's website now shows only a $30 rebate.

edit 8/2: Received $30 rebate last week, but called CCity and was told $50 rebate submission "not found." :roll: The phone CSR collected my info and said check will be sent in 4 weeks. We shall see . . .

Link to $50.00 rebate.
Link to $30.00 rebate.

Rather annoying 'tis B&M only. Nice find, however.

Edit:

Link to $50.00 rebate which expires May 29th, but for some reason no longer appears on the Circuit City website.

PM to Fry's AD and it will be FAR FREEEEEEeeeee........!

Woody419 · May 23, 2004

Thanks, I am building a computer this week and need one of these.
Sure looks like they are clearing out stock and making room for SATA drives, this is even a better deal than the WD 80GB for $50 that I missed at BB last week.

laxjax13 · May 23, 2004

does it have to have the original upc and receipt for both or can i just make copies ?

Ionizer86 · May 23, 2004

Copy for both works since the terms say so.

mumble, grumble I hate all you people who have Fry's grumble, mumble

Last week when I was purchasing a router at CC, the manager said that price matching would invalidate the CC rebates. I can't find anything that says that, but it might be something to consider.

Good deal and available locally for me!

Nice find. I wish there was a Fry's on the east coast

Think the best word I could use to describe my feelings for those near a Fry's is "loathe". Perhaps someday a Fry's will exist in the tri-state area.

Fry's does have occasional good deals but it's is not always a bed of roses over there....

mucker

JohnnyPastrami · May 23, 2004

WHOA! Thanks for the heads-up, this is a phenominal deal.

Rushed over and bought 2 (one for my business). Sales guy didn't know anything about it as it wasn't in the flyer and there were none out on display. Made him go on-line to confirm, he grabbed them from the back and off I went.

laxjax13 · May 23, 2004

i was at CC earlier today and saw the drives. id jump on it but i hate the rebates and really need the cash right now.

usernamemax20charact · May 23, 2004

Whoa! Tempting. So very tempting.

Awesome find. :thumbsup:

Most likely not.

I am wondering if the Fry's ad is restricted to certain area (say bay area) or not. The provided link shows neither source nor date of the ad. It's gonna make PM hard...

actually it does lower right hand corner. Orange County Register 5/21/04. but you might get some circuit city employee that'll say they don't konw what OCR means.

anyhow bay area also has this.

Are CC pretty quick/good with their rebates? I've never done a rebate through them.

there were only 2 at my circuit city (1 when I left

) but the guy that checked me out said they were expecting more, apparantly this is part of their memorial day sale and will be advertised then. the shelves were marked though.. 120's for 39.99 after rebate right beside 80's for 49.99 after rebate. anyway, keep checking throughout the week, they'll likely get some more in before the weekend.

man now I have to go run down there

HQH51 · May 23, 2004

They are decent, but they come. Not as fast as Rebates HQ (e.g. Staples).

Silex · May 23, 2004

They are pretty quick. I received my rebate for the 512mb PC2700 ram I sent out a month ago already. This is pretty tempting though, but I don't anymore hard drive space...but for free...hmmm.

edit: out of stock all around me! And I'm in OC too. Crap. Closest place is a 42min drive away. Might be worth it for FREE but I'm too lazy.

hytek369 · May 23, 2004

pretty hot, CC rebates are pretty fast too

VirtualLarry · May 23, 2004

Wow. Why does this always happen to me. This happened with the OM DDR deal too. I finally get BestBuy to PM on the last day of the sale, and then the day after the sale is over, CC has it for cheaper AR. I just bought that 160GB Maxtor drive last night, had BB PM Staples. Now CC has a 120GB WD for cheaper $/GB.
(Plus, I personally prefer WD drives. What is the warranty on the WD?) (Edit: One year)

Edit 2: Read some of those reviews of the WD 120GB on CC's site? Not just one, but two, mention the drive overheating and actually catching on fire. Interesting. I've never, ever, seen a HD catch fire in all of my years of computing, which dates back to before the PC era. Did have one 520MB Maxtor let out the "magic smoke" once though.

BPB · May 23, 2004

Folks, my CC is out, but told me to pay today and they'll get one in Wednesday for me from the nearest warehouse which has 1,000 left. Worth the try. If they don't get one, I get my money back. No loss there.

I'll slap this in my external kit which had the burner that died. Once I get my new burner from Newegg I'll have to decide what to do....
