Yeah, I saw this on Sunday. I was excited until I saw the rebates.

Now if it was Staples, I might do it. Their electronic rebates are fast.

Two weeks ago Staples had on sale 160 GB from Maxtor on sale for flat $60 with no rebate, when I got there I was told they sold out but the salesperson gave me Maxtor 160 Gb SATA for the same sale price ($60) with no MIR.

Nice. They usually just tell me they're out of stock and to get lost.

Today Fry's Electronics has Maxtor Hard Drive 160 GB on sale for $69.99 with no MIR required.

Staples had the 200 gig Maxtor EIDE hard drive on sale for President's Day for $60 after mail in rebate. The rebate came a couple days ago. I was able to submit it at the time of purchase on the web. I also got had two rebates on the TEON DVD discs that were on sale. Those came as well. I'm impressed with Staples' rebate program.

I agree; Staples is the only place where the rebates are a sure thing.
