Price is $147.99 with shipping. It comes with a $70 rebate for Win NT users.
Called Staples to order it with a discount coupon. Results:
CSR #1: "Sorry this is a ' while supplies last ' item and we can't price match."
CSR #2: "Do you know what they charge for shipping?" (free) Purchase completed.
Hint: Before calling the second time, I checked the specific details of the Staples PM policy. It states, "If the competitor says, ' while supplies last ', we will gladly honor the price after we check to make sure the competitor has the item in-stock." I did not need to rely on that bit of info for the second call, but this is good to know - before you call them.
