Good deal I think.
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=302225&pfp=srch1

$129.99 internet price and shipping is only $0.01 if you add enough junk to bring your total over $150.

Damn that is a good deal. I am tempted to get one even though I don't need it. (am I sick or what)

"$129" "This item is available for in-store pickup only". And sure enough, secretly "$129" means "$179".

Bah.

I guess the deal died then. I posed it yesterday as it came out. You missed it!

I wasn't old enough to miss the 70s, and I'm not young enough to have missed the 70s.

But let me just say, people dressed much better in the 80s than they do now

Another chance:
Outpost.com is showing the drive for $119.99 (no rebates)

When you add it to your cart, it comes up $179.99. You have to call and place your order over the phone and tell them the price on the website is $119.99. Aparently they're happy to give you the drive at that price over the phone.

That's cool. Well, I guess it wasn't a price mistake. Just a cart-price mistake.
