    Thumbs down Extortion!

    I was in Dixons. Happened to look at their hard drives, Western Digital, 7200 RPM.

    40GB £79.99
    80GB £129.99
    120GB £179.99

    THATS JUST MADNESS! WHAT A RIP OFF! Its WORSE than what I thought they would be!

    eBuyer
    40GB £41.12
    80GB £45.85
    120GB £70.49

    OK not sure if the drives were exactly the same, but even still!

    Yup, hence why it's never worth buying anything from dixons or pc world, or currys, or any other like them..

    It's only the cheap Samsung, the other quality hard drives are silly prices still. Looks like they're Using it as a loss-leader or something.
