Black Friday

I just got one the other day for $110 shipped to my door from Newegg. Ignoring the cost of gas to get to Best Buy or CompUSA, it's worth my $10 not to have to stand in line for those hours.

See for instance: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE WD5000AAJS 500GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

$99.99 shipped, and no need to leave your house on Friday!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I believe that they were talking about the external one which I am planning on getting (best deal I see so far I guess).

Fair enough. That makes the price a bit more bearable, but when I can get a 500GB drive for $99 and an enclosure [that's of better quality than the ones WD/Maxtor use] for <$20, it's still not worth it to me. To each their own I suppose.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
