    this drive is also available at bestbuy for $180 + tax in external enclosure form, there is also a 10% coupon for this weekend as well sweetening the deal.

    Where do you find the 10% coupon? I've tried searching online but don't see it, unless it actually starts Saturday and hasn't been posted yet.

    Great deal I got it before newegg carried it so I had to pay like 209$ + ship. It was worth it tho even at that price. Its a high performance drive with alot of space too. Cant beat that.

    nice, i wonder if its the same hdd as the scorpio tho...

    i was just thinking we dont have too long (a few months) untill circuit city, best buy, comp usa, ect are going to have black friday!! :p

    I bet things like external drives will be one of the main things on sale for notebooks.

    I got lucky last year and skipped in line and got infront of like 400 people and saved myself hours of wait.

    I can only hope it happens again this year, and that somebody doesnt shoot me.
