newegg.com has it for $168, shipped, no rebate.

save $50 bucks and go with newegg. OR you can get the 250gig hd for $112 shipped.

bought the Maxtor version at Staples a short time ago for ~$168 with tax after using a $15 off 75 coupon...

Don't pay more then the $179 though...and that's pushing it a bit. Otherwise wait, a model WILL drop in price soon enough (Maxtor, WD, etc.)

You could even go with a LaCie; often times a Maxtor or WD hard drive is inside of it....

Hell, sometimes you can get an internal dirt cheap, then throw a case over it; instant external.

Picked up two of the 500 GB Westen Digital My Book premium editions @ Costco.

First one I paid $220 two months ago and last week paid around $189 or so.

^ ^ Those are going for $169 OTD at a local shop. I think it was even Circuit City.

I am sure you are right.

Lately I have been a big fan of Costco. I use to be the opposite.

^ ^ The great thing about Costco is their lifetime warranty on parts. It's not listed, but it's an understood.

Just saw two 500GB internal HDDs for $119 OTD and you can get a fucking kick ass aluminum case for $30 easily.

There are now hybrid external drives going for $109 this weekend. Yep, that's for 500GB of storage. Remarkable.
