[Best Buy] Western Digital 250gig HD $129.99 at BB

BestBuy.ca has the Western Digital Caviar 250GB 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive for $129.99 after $65.00 instant savings and
$75.00 Mail-in rebate CLICK ME 190 in stock. I wonder if Western Digital will accept rebates from both future shop and best buy for this. 2 rebates for same item but from different stores...probably not :confused:

The 160 gig at $15 in the Hot Deals Forum is a much better deal for those of us who scooped one! :cheesygri

Agreed, if they honor that price. I'm not convinced it wasn't an error.

Actually, this is quite a good deal, the best price on ************ for one of these OEM drives is $179+taxes, meaning ~$206 in ON. The BB/FS price is $160 after tax and rebate which is from WD, which has never failed for me before. Some may say you'll get 3 yrs with the OEM drive, well so what, for an extra $20 CAD, you'll get 3 yrs on this drive too, making it about $20 cheaper than any other OEM pricing.

BTW, it's now:

"Taking Orders: Will ship when available"

How long do we know it's going to take before they actually ship out? 1 month, 2 or more??

Well the $20 I mentioned is from WD... I dunno how much BB chargers for their PSP, if it's close, I'd go with BB, cause then you could just do an over the counter exchange I would guess.

Frick... is the deal really dead? I ordered the drive on Dec 30 and it wasn't in stock--- "Taking Orders: Will ship when available".

The rebate form says:
OFFER DATE: December 24, 2004 to December 30, 2004
Postmark by: January 30, 2005
[...]
"Any requests postmarked after applicable dates will be returned as ineligible. Receipt must include a date that corresponds within the promotional period."

Help...?

odd how ppl don't read... :lol:

I said that there were a ton in store... ie... B&M... go there... if they don't have them online it doesn't mean they're not in store... and I think there were less than 80 after MIR in store... In the GTA, I went a few days ago.. (I think 4 or 5 days ago)... the BB at Wilson and Keele area had a skid of them.

Worth a shot... being sold out online doesn't mean it's dead...

They were the same price in store ($129.99 AFTER REBATE)
As for rebate, I don't know, not worth the risk so I'd return it or cancel the order

I received mine on Friday... now have a total of 410GB... that's more than sufficient I would think. :) I wonder if your ordering on the 30th means that is your order date and therefore within the rebate period.

I went to the best buy site to look at my order status

http://www.bestbuy.ca/helpsection/en/or ... =EN&dept=0

It shows " Order Number 1588148, placed on December 30, 2004 at 10:08 (PST)."

If the receipt contains that date then technically the rebate should be valid according to the wording on the rebate form?

I think I'll try calling them at 1866 327 8352 during normal business hours. If anyone does call, please let me know what they tell you.

2- If they don't honor the rebate it's like false advertising...
