    Umm I know what bing cashback is but what is paypal cashback? I dont see any details on that and never heard of it before. Also where is the MIR?

    Do they have it for the 120GB version?

    thanks sleey0, sucks still only $30 for the 120GB,

    So whats up with the "paypal cash back" is that something special they are doing at CC? I dont see it advertised anywhere on there page.

    I guess I should just to a fake check out all the way till the last step and see if I see it.

    isnt this product under $200???

    I guess it stacks just right so you can take advantage of it.

    I am tempted but will pass because I really want $120gb or more, or will wait for better SSD to come out and lower prices.

    May just get a 80gb Intel G2 when they are out in mass if I cant wait.

    Honestly I need another 1TB drive for my desktop right now, I am downloading like 50GB of stuff a day recently.

    lol its a varity of things, if you saw my "what TV show should I watch" thread I am downloading a ton of TV shows and a bunch of other random stuff.

    im sure I will slow down when the newness of a newsgroup membership wears off, but it d/l's the full speed of my isp so its so addicting.

    thats 20mb/s for me, I wish I had your 40+mb/s!

    Still you can get a 720p 2.3GB tv show in like 5 or 6 minutes at my speed so thats nothing to complain about.
