No good in SoCal. $95 for the WD and $58 for the Seagate

For those asking about RSS or "how do you get an item scanned" or just an FYI to save you from driving around everywhere.....

# Write down the SKU number :8353658 and 8004465

# Go to BestBuy and find a Blueshirt (employee).

(This step removed. Was specific to an earlier deal that led to the creation of this "guide")

# If you don't find one, ask them to check item availability on "RSS". (RSS= Ritek Smart System, it's a tool that Blueshirts use to check on stuff.)

# Give them the SKU number

# RSS results will come up and it will show the price as well as the number of units "on hand".

# If you look about midway down the right hand side of the results page, there will be a link that says "Check Other Locations". Have the Blueshirt click on that link.

# This page should show all the stores in the district and will list the number of items each store has on hand as well as the price.

# If a store shows that they have units in stock, then go to that store and repeat step 1.

# If none of the stores show any in stock, then you have probably missed out on the deal though it's always possible that RSS is wrong and some store might actually have one.

Repeat process for other SKU.

If you get a "session expired" page, just close it and click the link again. Should work fine the second time.

In my experience that happens every time. Closing the tab or window and trying the link again in a fresh one does the trick!

Bestbuy in frisco sold out of the 160GB when i got there, they still have the 120GB SATA in stock though for $59.99.Passed it

Considering that the WD is about $70 for OEM and the Seagate is about $100 for OEM, this is a smoking deal. I guess I'll go out on another BB wild goose chase.

Thanks OP!

Can you specify the store please?

You probably can. Your laptop might not run the interface at full UATA speed, but a UATA drive is backwards comatible with a plain old ATA (33MHz) controller. It will just run at ATA speeds.

call call call - call call call - call ur booty

can any one confirm in Cincinnati, OH. Usually stores here dont have clearance. I dont want to drive all the way and get nothing. Thanks in advance.

Got a Seagate in NYC, Broadway Noho location. I left the other one there for a lucky soul. Top shelf in the middle, no price tag, but the blue shirt knew the price off the top of his head. How convenient...

42.99 + 3.60 tax = 46.59 otd
