The Sony GRV680 laptop keeps appears (sporadically) on BestBuy.com listed for $300 with a $150 mail-in rebate. Everyone at work has now ordered one: its a 2.6 GHz , 60 GB HDD, 512 RAM, CD/DVD R/W.
Has anyone heard anything about this? Has bestbuy been hacked?
Everyone got the confirmation order emails, but not shipment, listed a 3-5 delay for shipment at time of purchase.
Yeah its gone from their page now. It appeared to be browser dependent too. You had to be on a MSIE on a Windows platform, and with valid login cookies to see it. Now we'll just wait a few days and see if we get a shipmnet notice or an apologetic email from them....
Ewww, gross. (I like my laptops as possibly desktop replacements, ie large screen, full accessories). If i have to carry around external disk drives, etc its not a good laptop for me. Besides for $150 (after mail-in rebate) just about any PIV is worth it )
Oh they're promising us some special deal on something to be announced in the next couple of days... we're suspecting it will be $10 off a cheapo digital camera or something.
We knew it was too good to be true, but we still got our hopes up
