Monstermile Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Did anyone pick one of these up today??? If so did you need a ticket??? It was not listed in circular as a door buster or requiring a ticket. I got there at 6:30 and one of the geeks told me they couldn't sell me one w/o a ticket until after 10:00 if there was any left. Talked to one of the managers I know there and he got me one. I lucked out but still don't understand why they required a ticket for an item that was not a door buster.

lilaznal Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 they were ticket items because they were in the back counter in the store i went to. no one even bought one i think. all the people wanting one probably went to staples for the 400 gig sata hd.

jaymacfla Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 They gave out tickets for these only if the supply was limited. I got a ticket for the 160 gig version, since there were less than 10 available. They were supposed to have plenty of the 320 gig. When the doors opened, I went to the hard drive section, and there were only 2 of them there. I mistakenly thought a guy next to me was reaching for the second one (he had one already), when he took off with it as well! I looked around the store and then found out that nobody remembered where they had stocked them, and found a bunch sitting on a distant shelf in a center aisle. The every man for himself mentality inside the store throws off any morality issues outside the store, in regard to tickets and fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with this 'consumer economy' we have, I suppose. This 'competition' thing brings out the worst characteristics in many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana4all Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 No, I got the 400GB from Staples, still deciding if I want it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
