Flaming hot: 80 gig portable firewire drive $28 shipped

[GGD]

My Provantage order status has changed a tiny bit.

Just after placing the order it was "Status: Your Internet order has been given to an order reviewer for routine verification."

Now it's "Status: Your Internet order is in the process of being verified by an order reviewer."

I'm expecting the next update to be "Your order has been rejected by an order reviewer."

Then again, I was expecting my order for those $6 Office Depot iPod Docks to get rejected around Christmas, but those did ship. If these drives do ship, I really hope that they match or exceed the item description.

Um, Racer... That's a joke. I say, that's a joke, son. Kids these days have no sense of humor.

I checked my spam folder and found the SuperWarehouse auto-email, so I'm three-for-three, at the moment.

Let's see how many of them come through. If they all deliver... Well, I'll have a lot of FW HDs.

It could happen...it could happen. Your laptop would burn Big Jim and the twins if it were on your lap, but they could exist, especially for external case uses.

Still available via PC Universe via Amazon.com.

Ordered two @ $69 shipped.

Wow! These things change fast. But I just ordered from Amazon, $37 with shipping. All the other sites listed here were about $200 for this drive; guess they made a mistake or something with the run on orders, shot the price back up. Maybe I should've gotten more from Amazon, but was a little wary of this deal, so just got one. We'll see.

Let's please post some follow up on these drives after we get them and can give them a try out to see how they work. Can never have too many external drives for back ups...

If it is actually canceled, I might push the issue a bit because it's not a typographical error.

Yeah, just received my cancellation email from Mwave, too. However my Order Status at SuperWarehouse is showing "shipped", but no tracking number (yet). We'll see how accurate that is soon enough, I'm sure.
