Not quite as good as the Best Buy deal a short while ago, but it's still not too bad for those that missed out on the BB deal and they have 21 in stock as of noon today. Available online only. Sale ends Nov 9th (today)!

the My Book Pro edition will have firewire and guessing will be available soon at FS, BB and the likes so that's why these models are selling cheaper now ..

the pro edition i've seen at other places like Amazon or Buy .. so sooner or later u'll find them at FS/BB

BB has this going for $370.

w/ an online PM, comes to $260, and you can still apply a $25off250 coupon - NOV25OFF798519693193

coupon link: http://www.bestbuy.ca/marketing/coupon_oct/en/

so it ends up being $235 + tax after PM/coupon....

o_O You're right. Maybe I should consider my a Lesser Hooch of Posting. At least for a long while!

It also looks like Mahjongmaniac has the way to go. :)

Damn, found this thread too late to apply the PM. Since tonight is the last night for this deal on the FS site, it's not possible to do the PM in the morning.

even if you ordered and phoned in last nite for the PM, it'll be "pushing it" b/c of the time left for the sale.


i guess you COULD ask the CSRs online to leave a note that the price at FS was $270 and there was stock left at that time, but f/ my exp., most of the CSRs don't do what customers ask them to do (or they forget)... :|

Thanks for the tip, mahjongmaniac. I thought of doing what you suggested, but if I thought for one second FS CSR would have gone the extra mile to help me, I would have done it. Like you, I guess I don't have that much faith in FS's CSR.
