HP $120 desktop fiasco......

1,121 1,039 August 9, 2012 at 10:04 AM in Tech & Electronics
So who got in on the $3000 PC for $120 pricing mistake that happened this past weekend? The orders were cancelled and people rec'd a refund of their $$ on top of a $200 coupon off of the HP store (no minimum purchase)

Love to hear what you all are getting with your free $200 from HP.

If you'll queue to the left we have a small form we'll need each of you to fill out, you can keep the pen but we'll want the clipboard back. Please check the appropriate box to let us know if you'd prefer a hamster or a lizard. Tea will be served promptly at dusk, don't be late or there won't be any biscuits left and you can't say you weren't warned. Mind you don't track mud across the carpet, I've just mopped. Don't tease the animals, they bite and it'll be your fault and there aren't any more band-aids until Schooby does the shopping on Sunday.

Have a nice visit and please tell all your friends!

All 4 codes given away, I haven't tried to verifiy if they work on my computer because I did not want to lock up the code so I do not guarantee if the codes work. If they work you are very lucky and better buy something fast before it goes OOS.
who are those 4 lucky

I apologize for not updating, all my items shipped today and because the the other thread was closed and I recently located this thread It totally slipped my mind to let everyone know the date change. Plus I had many people PM at 10 which threw me off also. hug

Why was that other thread closed in Deal Talk? That was going to be the HP Touchpad thread of 2012. Anyhow, I tried to use my EPP (employee purchase program) account to knock of $15 but they cancelled my order. I think because a stipulation was that you can't use it with other promotions. Anyhow, logged into my normal joe account and got this, which shipped this evening.

Dang, missed out again. I think we are one of the only peeps on SD that still don't have a blu ray. Our POS DVD player gets to hot and about halfway thru movies starts pausing A LOT! But we hardley ever watch movies ... not much time I guess.
