Circuit City had a 250 GB external for $40. My girlfriend and I just stopped by Circuit City on my way to into the office (on a day we're closed) at 1 this afternoon. Just picked up a bunch of DVDs, Half-Life for the Xbox for $5, a 50 pack of DVD-Rs for $20 that will be FREE after rebate, a 1 GB Sandisk memory card for $2.99 after rebate ($30 before). Ended up spending a little over $100, $50 of which will be reimbursed by rebates, and I didn't really have to change my routine and since most of it was her stuff, she waited in line to pay while I went to work.

Post-MIR. No thanks.

Also, I'd rather have Western Digital over I/O Magic. Past hands-on experience gives me this opinion.

Same goes for the SD cards. I was considering getting some but then went 'meh'.

I hate dealing with MIRs. Straight up or nothing, kthx.

pretty safe bet, with them printing out a 2-foot rebate forms that probably call for everything including your stool and urine sample, along with social security numbers of your unborn children, sent in an envelope no larger than 2"x1", and wait for 290309 days to get it. I'll still do it.

You've got it down to the word. I only end up getting half the MIR stuff I send in. Unless you read everything, you ain't getting your rebate on time. :/

Did your store also NOT have the scanners working? They were inputting every damn number by hand. And certain people had like 40 items (usually DVDs).

Also seems like they started up some newbies as Black Friday for day one. Eh?

I bought about $180 worth of dvds/games/music for about $80 today. My BB owns because no one knew what was on-sale you had to research it on the net before hand to know what was on-sale. I just stroll in and grab what I want that I knew was cheap, granted I didn't get any big electronic device. My brother did go to wally world at 5am this morning and got a sweet deal on a digital camera/printer combo. Was $500 yesterday and he got it for $250 today.
