    Might be worth taking a look at CompUSA. I stopped by my local CompUSA (greater Cincinnati), for the first time since the closing was announced and picked up an extended life battery for my Presario for $89.99+tax. The battery was actually marked as 25% off of $149.99, but right at the bottom of the display was a 8.5x11" plain text ad which said Notebook Batteries - 40% off. I asked about it, it was in the computer as 25% but they gave it to me for 40% off! :)

    I saw a Staples ad for these for $99 ($149.99 MSRP) late in December, so I feel pretty good about it.....charging now.

    Yeah since their closing down these kind of deals are expected. I will have to stop by a local CompUSA myself. Thanks for the reminder.
