    Not sure if it's a typo, but it looks right, seeing as how they include the original price of $249.99
    I clicked the link, but their website and my local MC don't have it in stock. Maybe someone here might get lucky? If you do, pick one up for me and I'll give you $120 :D

    Under $1 per gb, great price.

    Maybe it is a typo, $189 would be more like it.

    Yeah, makes no sense that it'd be priced lower than the 60gb, but I'm keeping my hopes up :eek:

    definitely a typo, its $189. That said you CAN at times get a manager to give you a product for a typo price as long as you play your cards right and you get there before they post any public notice of the price error.

    I got COD WM2 for $25.00 on a price mistake like this one when it was still a brand new game.

    That said if anybody can pick one up for me I will pay you back + shipping as I have needed/wanted a SSD for a long time but been holding out for lower prices that I can afford.

    Sorry guys I went to Microcenter and the item no longer exists in their database. The guy said it most likely has been discontinued. =\
