Staples deal cancelled on me, but still in for 1 at Newegg with 5% Chase UR points and free 2-day via my free ShopRunner account. Thanks OP!

I called a couple of my nearby Staples and none of them carry it. One told me that they never carried it and the only way to get it was to order it online.

It was obvious the Staples deal was a price mistake. This drive is excellent and can easily sell-out with a $160 price tag. It would be stupid to go as low as $120 just like that.

+1 for that, I am still waiting for the new customer $10 off $100 from tigerdirect and then add $10 off from discover card, but the deal may be over soon

too bad. My two(2) 240gb sandisk extreme ssd's shipped. $100 each. SWEET!

Quote from shanmugam : mostly it is not going to ship; wait for the cancellation email ...

My order status changed to "Shipped from warehouse"

I was lucky though, I was able to submit my order before this thread grew to more than 5 posts.
