mmm, any chance that would replace my Final Fantasy Hard drive on my ps2? I've heard Maxtor is the best fit for sony's machine.

that's a pretty good price for a no rebate hassle :)

if you don't mind rebates though, here are other pretty good deals:

WD 250gb from circuit city for $79.99 AR (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Western-Digital-Internal-Hard-Drive-WD2500JBRTL-/sem/rpsm/oid/70860/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)

and

no rebates=$100

rebates=$40

i think i will go with the one that you have to send in rebates for. it isn't that much of a hassle to send in the rebate, unless you cannot wait for the money to be sent back to. because it will take a few weeks to get sent back to you.

Of course rebate deals always end up being cheaper, but you often have to wait 2-3 months to even get anything back. A lot of times rebates never even come, but you've already been using the product you bought for 3 months before you realize you will never see that money again. This is a pretty good deal for not involving any rebates as its a much lower upfront price.

Maxtor = 1 year warranty = dead after 1 year =)

Check Fatwallet for the word on getting two of these for 90+ shipping out the door.

I did the fatwallet thing for 2 for $90, let's hope it actually comes. I think I would probably keep 1 and sell the other to cover the cost of the first.

I recently bought a new PC and had to deal with all the rebates. I'm still waiting for a $30 rebate for a Mad Dog External DVD ROM burner that I sent away for back in late december. I've been directed to another site (other then Mad Dog) called rebatestatus.com and have checked the past 3 weeks and it keeps saying that they are processing my rebate. It's been about 10 weeks, how long does it take to process a rebate??? From now on I'm going with instant rebates ONLY...

Same price for SATA HDDs or no?

[lionheart4life]

Yeah rebates def take forever. At least you will probably get it if its on rebatestatus.com at least. That reminds me that I had a gas rebate that I sent in at the end of 2004 that still hasn't come in, but is listed as processing on there. I had forgotten about it until I was checking up on another rebate and noticed it. I basically consider rebate deals to be the price before rebate, since you likely will never get it anyway, especially from Compusa.
