This should be illegal.

Best Buy is advertising a WD 60GB drive for $49.99 AMIR. But when you click on it and go to their site, they say they're not taking any more orders and it's not available for in-store pickup. It's only 9:30AM for Pete's sake. What did they have, 3 units for the entire country?

What crap.

I agree, that's lame.

On one hand, you can't expect them to have an unlimited supply of them for sale. On the other hand, you would think they could have enough to last past 9:30am EST!

This is typical of BB, I usally pass even searching there deals on Sunday morning. I've looked as early as 2 AM and guess what, same crap. Once in awhile that actually have the deals in stock, they get snapped up pretty quick. Kinda like the refurb bin at Newegg.

They should at least offer rain checks.

That's so typical of our local Worst Buy. I've hit the store when it opened and was the first one to the computer section and they wouldn't have any of their advertised lies. I finally just quit looking. I've been to Worst Buy once in 2 years since getting fed up. You'd think that they would realize crap like this does more to hurt their business than help by bringing in customers for their nonexistant specials.
