At the first store (East Brunswick, NJ) the tag on shelf was 101.99 and they did a price check at the computer info desk nearby and it was indeed 101.99. I did not actually try to check out at register (*).
At the second store (Manalapan, NJ) the tag was also 101.99, but when they did the price check it rung as 33.99. I got a second one and at the register they were indeed 33.99, paid, stuffed in the trunk and then I did the whole thing over again.
I got 4 unopened drives right now, I am thinking what to do with them. I think I will make one RAID setup for me, one for my wife. We both use laptops.
FWIW: As I said, there were 4 left on the shelf at 6:45 PM on Manalapan. I did a check a few minutes ago, and the East Brunswick store is out of stock (who bought those at 101???) but the Manalapan store still shows some stock.
(*). A few month ago there was a clearance at Staples, they had some 60 GB HD Maxtor (2.5" USB) that showed a price of 59.99 at a price check, even at register, but when the cashier pressed some key to check me out, the real price was 12.50. So it may be possible (but very unlikely) that you do a price check and it shows 101.99, and at register it is actually 33.99.
