    The coupons ARE stackable!

    I'm getting the WD 1TB HD for $82.23 delivered!

    I don't necessarily need another one right now but I can keep it for expansion.

    Thanks SO MUCH for this tip!

    Gang...The coupons are stackable and I got the drive for 75.00, free shipping, and 7.23 tax (of course, plus the $1.50 I spent on the coupon.)

    AWESOME DEAL!

    Oh good, I thought I didn't post a valid coupon there. :eek:

    There was another coupon that I saw that doesn't mention the instant discount restriction - http://www.e-junkie.com/shop/product/63032.php. However, the coupon code costs $2.45.

    Great deal, justinkw!

    I edited my original post to reflect that my sale went through at 75.00, so I am living proof that the coupons are stackable.

    Reading the terms and conditons would indicate they are not, but they are, in fact, stackable.

    Thanks again.

    It's a shame the 500GB 2.5" WD drive is OOS.

    what's the point of those 1TB with just a slow usb 2.0 interface? I also read about reliability issue with 1 and 1.5 TB drives. That's why they are selling them for so cheap.
