I was the first person in line at the Elk River, MN store this AM.
They were out of the mice and wanted to sub a different burner.
A few other people were looking for the burner but I was the only one getting a hard drive.
I don't know how many they had but it was a lot of them and they had them in a number of places around the store.
I said to the manager that I thought people would be lined up for these and he said he thought so too.
Unless a bunch of people came in later during the day to buy these, they may still have some tomorrow.

so did you only get a rain check or did you bay for it too? cuz i had paid for it...got receipts and everything...and i would pick it up later in the week
I have absolutely no need for this drive but bought one anyway. Good drive, great price... I just couldn't pass it up. I guess this bolsters the argument that everything on infomercials is $19.95 because $20 is, for some reason, the amount that people (read: me) will drop on a whim.
Thanks mato7742. Great deal on a great drive.

No, didn't pay for anything. I filled out a 'raincheck' form with the sku#, amount in rebates, PAR, date, and my signature. I was given the carbon copy and walked out of the store. I don't know if I would've paid for this item if it wasn't in stock due to the high volume of orders online/B&M. Not sure if this item will be in stock for a *while*. However, if you purchased the item today you should be okay as far as the rebates go (expires next saturday i think).
How are you guys getting this HD???? It wasn't at their site yesterday and it's still not at their site. Is this B&M store only? The link at techbargains says nothing about it being B&M and of course the link for it to Omax is bad as usual.
Rainchecks.
More, later this week.
Maybe Wednesday.
All plausible.
All mean 2 or more trips, right?
Guess if it is on your way, not too much of a time investment?
Otherwise - time, mileage, effort, ...?
Please, come to our store, multiple times.

i am on a budget so these drives will work adequately for me although i'd love larger ones.
but i love it when employees don't do a good job - i just came from an om that had 23 in stock because the worker yesterday didn't know they had them. so score a few for my new starter raid at 20 bucks a pop.
good luck to ya'll this is a nice enough deal and be sure to check with your local stores to confirm oos.

RE:"I had one on backorder from Officemax.com, but according to Customer Service at OfficeMax, the rebates will not apply if I recieve the drive after 1/31. So I cancelled."
I was told differently by the store manager. That the rebates would apply on a unit shipped on 2-4-04. I'm skeptical however and can see a hassle coming.

That's my question too.
I bought this Hard Drive. GREAT DEAL! (99.95 - $20 instant savings + tax) I walked out with it for $87.change But to send in the rebates, both rebate forms say they need the original UPC???#@&@* :|
Anyone know what's up with this?

... and About the Warranty... The box clearly states it has a One Year Warranty. There's a certificate in the box where you can go online and extend the Warranty to 3 years for $15.
Whatever on that.
The OM rebate form states that if there is also a mfr. rebate, that a copy is ok for the OM rebate.
It IS the 8 mb cache drive. Actually, I haven't seen the 2 mb cache 80 gb drive for sale at a retail store for a while now. Most WD drives at 80 GB and above these days seems to be the JB drive.
Besides.. ANY 80 gb drive for $20 is hot!

Can either of these rebates be submitted online? And what sites would that be? I haven't done too many OM rebates, but I know they have that feature.
Man this is hot, even hotter if you get a raincheck with no rebates hassle. I'll have to check it out.
With OM's recent track record, they'll be offering GOOD Deals on WD drives for months to come. They last 4 or 5+ Sunday paper ad's have had great deals on WD drives.
I bought a 160gigger for $79.95 a few weeks ago. Couldn't pass this deal up for $20! I'd say just keep your eyes pealed with OM and you'll see another deal like this pop up.
I guess I'm lucky to live in a city where we have (5 that I know of and probably more) plenty of Office Max retail stores so I'm bound to find instock.

I went to OM yesterday and they were already sold out. I got a raincheck for it and was told by the store manager that if they don't receive more within a week, they will give it to me for the after rebates price of $19.99 plus tax. $20.00 out the door would be sweet. Then, I wouldn't have to keep my fingers crossed expecting the rebates to come.
