I don't believe it's a scam ran by the VA OD store, as I left my information on the waiting list on Black Friday morning, after other OD stores told me either the system crashed, or they oversold and HP pulled off the offer. I do have the names of the three managers of that VA store, and I do appreciate that they were willing to go extra miles to contact customers that the corporate has offered a solution. But the funny thing is, I was able to CONFIRM the deal by calling 1-800-go-depot! Then in about 20 minutes later, another agent at 1-800-go-depot said, no such deal exist. Maybe it's a localized thing, that people not in the eastern time zone got screwed again. Anyway, I would be really like to know how the corporate will respond to my questions. Too bad the closest CompUSA is 130 miles away...

I received a phone call from an Office Depot employee that the corporate is offering the same deal AGAIN today. I called 1-800-go-depot and confirmed that. However, when I visited and later called our local Office Depot store, they knew no such thing. I called 1-800-go-depot again, asked to speak to a supervisor, but was told that there is no such deal. I've wrote to complaints @ officedepot dot com and waiting for a response. I guess you may try to call your local store to see whether they are honoring the offer again.

BTW, Meijer seems to have the same model on sale during that Friday and Saturday for $69.97 after rebate, and more expensive model for $89.97. I guess the difference between the two models are the capibility of MPEG-4 playback and DivX® playback.
