$50 bucks at select Targets.

You will not find this in an AD or every Target.

Around here, there is 1 out of 7 Targets called that had it listed at that price.

My books themselves suck. The enclosure fails quite often and you're left with just a hard drive. I would buy it and gut it right away

+Rep and another little green box for ya!

Really? I have a 750GB (really 698GB) My Book and never had a problem with it. Like you said though, it can be gutted. I'm hoping it doesn't decide to fail until I can get my hands on one of those TB drives though. And for 50 bucks, you can't go wrong plus its a WD HD. Do you have any details on the failure? I spose I can google to.

Thanks for the rep!

I was able to find the 1 TB My Book for $85.72 at Tech For Less.com (Currently Out of Stock) (http://www.techforless.com/cgi-bin/tech4less/sqlresults?id=zwUo6BF9&mv_pc=494)

Also at eCOST.com (http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=41483993&source=EWBBASE&cm_mmc=CSE-_-google-_-ewbbase-_-Storage&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=41483993) for $95.00 In Stock.

Either way still cheaper then any other retailer and most online stores.

I tried getting it from BB through the "price match" but when they called Target, they were told that it was on clearance. I said "WTF, they didn't tell me that when I called this morning, and they didn't have any sticker by it indicating clearance. Hell, the guy I talked to didn't even say anything". Hopefully they will get some more in. Sorry they don't have any by you Bopher, but glad to hear you were able to get some required items. Lol I know that feeling but we are in the pull-up stage. haha

not sure if shipment dates are the same, but Monday, Wednesday and Friday are their usual days. They should know if they have the item in/price by the time they open. I called them yesterday and talked to the same person now for the 3rd time. After checking availability, she says "I think you bought them all." haha

when I went to my target they had the 1tb my book priced @ 139.99. I asked the kid behind the electronics counter to scan it just in case, yep, came up 139.99. He said there were some on clearance but he thought they were all gone, which they were.

so looks like i missed out. oh well didnt have 50 bucks to spend anyways :P

Wow! I love that game. I think it was better then RCT3, but I did like the fireworks option in 3. lol

Are you sure thats not number 2 "Triple Thrill Pack"? I found it online for 36. That is crazy though. That game has been out forever.

No its the original one. Not the one with wacky worlds and time twister expansions. I love it too. I actually own 2 copies of it as well as the original RTC and RTC3 platinum.

Wow, that really sucks, I loaned the original to a friend and never saw it again. 3 was cool that you could ride the rides but seemed to cartoony. If they would have just added the new stuff to the RTC2, it would've been sweet
