I just want to let everyone know of a good price on a 2TB seagate Backup Plus desk Firewire 800 at Best Buy.
Disclaimer: This has worked twice for me without issue AND I have notified the store of the discrepancy and they had no concern about it. So I have done what I am willing to do to figure I am not ripping them off.
So the exact drive is the Seagate Backup Plus 2TB Firewire800/USB 2.0 drive.

The price is listed $149.99 and remains that way through checkout. So upon checkout with tax I paid $161. 61. Now upon pickup at the store as I did the pick up same day option and the receipt they give me says $97.99 for the item so $105.58 with tax.
I paid via Paypal as that is where I had some money and when I arrived back home, I had an email stating that BestBuy has refunded $56.03.
So there ya go. Nearly 1/3 off the price. Now the extra bonus is that this drive is upgradable to Thunderbolt from Seagate and various other outlets for $189 or near there. So for under $300 you can get an excellent Thunderbolt 2TB drive.
So there ya go. Just thought I would share my experience. I am interested if this would be for others as well. Also these 2 purchases for 2 weeks apart giving them ample time to correct the error.
