I think what he meant is that in many ways, Staples really doesn't compare to the other stores' holiday sales very well. Especially that 20GB hard drive you were talking about ScrapSilicon
....if you think that's a good deal you're nuts! Best Buy has a 60GB drive, same speed, for the same price! Not to mention that you STILL have to wait for rebates, even at that crappy price! So do yourself a favor and don't buy that thing. Otherwise, yeah, the deals on the free stuff are (obviously) good...but good luck getting any of it. Think about it...anything that's FREE, dumb people rush out and get it just because of that, even if they don't need it. You'll have a line of cheap welfare b@stards (can I say that here?!) carrying sticks of free RAM, even if they don't have a computer! They'll put it away and let it collect dust somewhere, until the value of it actually gets pretty darn close to the price they paid! Just my 2 cents. Go to Best Buy and pick up that hard drive if you want something good.
