    $250 in retail package new, use bing cashback to save 2% and bring it down close to $240.

    I am sooooooo tempted, but I really want to hold out for the 160gb so I'll pass, or may end up getting a ATI 5870 for my desktop.

    Cheaper at CostCentral. Amazon has the retail kit (comes with the 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay converter) for $248.65.
