best buy has a 12x4x32 smart and friendly burner on sale. i think its discontinued or something and i saw this on anandtech so i checked out the ones in san diego and took the last ones. apparently there are no more in california http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif so if you guys can find these anywhere this would be a hot deal!! no pricematching, no coupon stuff!!

Just picked one up at the store by me here in Mission Viejo, CA. The beauty of it is, it was an open box item (but i looked inside and it was totally unused) and they were only charging $129.60 for it. This is gonna make me some cash :-)

I was at the Cerritos one today and there were none to be found. Did you have to ask for it or what? Either they were cleaned out/never had them/or had them in a special place(no, not THAT special place).

****All you Mutha'z stay away from the Cerritos Best Buy tomorrow!!!****

Guys don't bother for the one in Cerritos. My friend works at the Best Buy in Cerritos (less than a mile from my house) and it's gone! Bastards. Although he says the one in Lakewood has one in stock but not on the shelves. See ya there hehe http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

How much is this burner? No one posted it except for shottime who got it at the opened box price.

Well just to let you guys know, the West LA, Torrance, Hawthorne, and West Minster are all sold out. That should save some of you guys the time to call and find out.

There is supposed to be one at the Mentor, Ohio store. They want $180 for it. I'm passing on it, since they want $30 more than other stores.

Guys get in on this one if you can. Many Best Buys don't even know that they are priced at $149.50. I bought one for a friend yesterday. Today we drove 100 miles to get me one. I couldn't resist the great price and ended up getting two of them.

Man, I went to one Best Buy and called two more in Columbus O, and basically they just laughed at me and said they flew off the shelves within hours of the price drop.

My question is....how did anandtech find out about it so fast? Oh well.

someone probably went to go buy one and just happen to notice the drop in price.
