Circuit City (www.circuitcity.com) has the Western Digital 160GB drive for $119.99.
Price match to Samsclub for $79.84
$79.84 - $4.01 (10% difference) - $30 CC MIR - $30 WD MIR = $15.83
Remember you have 30 days to get the PM. It's usually easier to buy it and then return later. It may be easier to buy it now online and then pm at pickup since the rebates won't print.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS!!
Do not try to PM this over the phone. DO not call and ask questions. This is what you do:
1. Go buy the drive. Maybe pay in electronics so avoid contact with the CSR desk. Ask for duplicates of your receipt if they dont print them for you. Trust me it makes life easier to have copies.
2. Take everything to your car.
3. Go do something for a little bit for 30 minutes or so.
4. Return to Circuit City with a copy of the web page showing the drive at Sam's. If you're enterprising you already checked through click and pull and know its in stock at your local Sam's.
5. You bring in only your receipt (the original) and the web page.
6. Request the price match.
7. If you dont get the pm don't get ugly, you have 30 days. Go back and try again or try a different store.
Other method
Order after midnight before the drive is pulled from the web site. They usually remove sale and make it instore only. If you got in then the rebate won't print out. Just request the pm after showing the lesser price at Sam's. If you are unsuccessful follow #7.
You have 30 days. If it doesn't work out you can always return it and have lost nothing.
Good luck, your mileage may vary.
