I think he's getting red since someone is posting yet another eBay/Live.com CashBack deal. Its just crowding the forums and gets in the way of other deals. People can just figure out these deals on their own by looking at the main thread for the eBay/Live.com CashBack deal. There really is no reason to call individual deals out since that will take so much space and people frankly just do not care.

You could apply that same logic to FatWallet in general and then we wouldn't need the community at all. People can just figure out these deals themselves!
Wait a sec, I thought that deals from Buy.com's online eBay store DO NOT qualify for the CashBack, since they use an incompatible 3rd-party checkout system.

No, I completely disagree.
One thread saying "30% ALL BUY IT NOW ON eBay" would suffice...
Oh wait... we have that.
Every time one of these idiots finds a seller with a slightly discounted price that is average, they post an AMAZING deal with the CashBack... yawn.

OPs deal does not exist!
You thought wrong, evidently. As many are tauting Live's CB through Buy.com's eBay store.

Except there is a difference between FatWallet in general and these types of posts. Something that stems off of a post like the eBay/Live.com CashBack deal (where most everyone who is a FWer knows about it) is unnecessary.
Do you want to have the Forum crowded by posts like these? I'd rather have a new type of deal posted that I had no idea I could get. Grant it most posts in the Forum are from retailer ads, the most useful to me are stackable coupon/rebate types of deals that maybe only the privileged few got an email or announcement.
I also have no objection to these types of post that include potential rebates attached to the Live.com CB that no one knew was possible.
These are just my opinions so take it as you will.

True, that's the case most of the time. but isn't $159.99 for this drive a pretty good deal already since it's sold through Buy.com? this seems like a specific deal from a specific seller that someone might not find on their own.
i agree the title should show "with Live.com CashBack" though.

Wrong, he's getting red because there are other ways to get a better price on this drive, it has nothing to do with this being another live/cb deal. If you're going through some hassle anyway, may as well get it $10 cheaper than this.

Information source?
His information source is gossip online. The actual issue with 1.5TB drives is that if you're running Linux OS, drive might hang for 10-15 seconds when accessing data. Seagate has released a firmware fix for that. That fix, however, should be applied only to users who are affected. Everyone else online is saying "disaster" because they've heard it on a similar forum and in fact have no idea what the actual issue is.
I think that if the end price deal is a lot better than the price you can find anywhere else (or has been found before) then it should be posted here. I don't know if that is the case here but I think so, and found the OP's post useful.
