Right now, if anyone's curious. Just some speakers right now, though.

Man I totally called this yesterday. If you get the woot newletter, at the end it said, something like, we will let you go now because we have a lot of product descriptions to write before thursday.

Sata 250 gb HDs right now. If they were IDE I would probably buy 3.

EDIT: If you want to follow along and see what you missed, here is the link, http://www.adeptconsult.net/wootoff.html

You’ve told yourself over and over you’ll stop, but you never do…your nightmares are haunted by RIAA and MPAA lawyers…even during intimate moments with your partner, you can’t stop obsessing about your Oink ratio…you don’t want to admit it, but you know the truth: you’re a download junkie.

For the unfortunate few like you, the lure of free, illicit movies and music is too great to resist. Like a lab rat reflexively lapping up droplets of morphine, you’re hooked. And the only limit to your habit is the space on your hard drive.

Well, far be it from us to tell you how to live. You’re an adult, right? And what business is it of ours if you choose to buy a Seagate 250GB SATA Hard Drive, or two, or three? If you feel you need enough HD space for 60,000 songs or 300 feature-length films, we’re not going to climb up on our high horse and just say “no.”

Besides, you can use it for other things, too. If bongs can legally be sold as “tobacco water pipes,” then we can certainly tout this drive’s 1.5GB/s SATA connection and hefty 8MB buffer, fast enough to let you run your OS and applications from it. It’s hot-swappable, carries a 6-month warranty from Seagate, and the 7200 RPM SoftSonic motor stays nice and quiet. You know, when it’s running apps and stuff (wink, wink).

Some people say download addiction is a social tragedy and a moral evil. We say “download and let download.” Who are we to say it’s not a legitimate lifestyle choice? Nobody’s putting a gun to your head, right? So sit back, relax, fire up your file-sharing client of choice, and let the Seagate 250GB SATA Hard Drive fill up with sweet, sweet files. And remember: you’re not really an addict if you tell yourself you can quit anytime you want.


Laughed my ass off reading that... :lol:

My ratio has died recently. Went from 9.6 or something down to about 7.5, very sad indeed.

With the way things are now, woot is probably going to get sued just for the newsletter.
