Got one myself. No rebate hassle is cool. Thanks for the deal!
By the way, if you buy on the web and pick up in store at Circuit City, and you use a one-time use credit card number, you're gonna run into problems. The ingenious management at Circuit City decide that they need to check both your photo ID AND the exact credit card you use for the purchase with the exact same credit card number. CC seems to be the only store dumb enough to not know about one-time use credit card numbers in this day and age. I've never had this problem with in-store pickup at BB or OD.
I ended up just returning the HD and purchasing again, since they have tons of stock in store.
The deal is not bad, but it's sad that the way CC does business is just so behind places like BB. I guess in a few years, they're going to be like KMart, whereas BB is going to be like Target or Walmart. It's like when you take a course in college. If everyone flunks and you flunk as well, then it's not too bad. But if everyone else is getting an A and you flunk, then there must be something wrong with you.
