Just bought one in San Diego before close for $419 plus tax, they have at least 30 available

Beware, they tried to add a $29 surcharge because they removed the add-on software

I complained and got a un-touched one

Going back tomorrow for the $20 refund for price match

Linky For Lazy

Anything like the $100 off for Internet service signup offers from back then?

Don't forget the free $100 MP3 player!

You get $100 off computer + $100 off MP3 player
I don't know if the coupon still around

Because there is a limit of 1 per household, I asked my wife to buy one separately.

I was able to get one that was open box and get 5% discount. My wife however was charged $30 for the blah blah blah software optimization, and $20 for the restore CD (that's right, $20 for the "restore CD"). I have never even heard of extra charge for the restore CD!

Anyway, the one my wife bought will be returned tomorrow.

The floor salesman tried to hit me with the whole "there is no restore disk" thing yesterday when I picked mine up. Of course, Geek Squad will make one along with something else I forget for $160. When in reality the restore disk is on the hard drive (I bought a quad-core ACER with the same setup.) Restore can be run by hitting F11 (I think) at startup or burn a set of restore disk from the restore manager software.

Some of BB's FUD seems downright illegal.

I got asked to leave the local BB because I only purchased the specials every time I went in. No clearance, RSS searches, dubios coupons or any other funny business. Just legitimate mover's coupons and rewards certificates.

scored 1 in BB, columbia Heights store at washington DC. They left 1 more. I had tough time to get it for 399 + Tax, since the sales person told me that they have optimization, and restore PC installed on it, and that cost additional 59 dollars. They are not going to sell for 399. I explained the sales person dude, before coming, I called, and they never told, and I told him, it also took me to come to 1 hours through changing bus, and metro to the store. I told I want to talk to Manager, and sales person with name bory was nice, and he called the manager, and told him the entire story. Manager said ok, and give it to me. 1 left, before I left the store.

didn't BB used to have a availability-checker or some such? can't find it; also, anyone have luck in orange county, ca?
