Take an additional 10% any hard drive from Newegg through 6/22/09 with promo code EMCHDD10A

This is good for any type of drive including the 2.5" SATA drives we can put in our PS3's. Apparently funds are limited for this so the offer may end earlier...

Just be aware, if it's like their 10% HDD sale from a few weeks ago, it is a maximum $10 credit.

Yes, this is true. But considering that most 500gb drives are under $100 anyway it's not really a big issue...unless you want a much bigger drive or a SSD.

just check out at amazon? newegg sucks.

FAIL.

Hate all you want, but newegg is still King for one stop PC parts shoppers. Amazon can't touch 76$ shipped for a 500 GB HDD.

I think he's joking. Or an Amazon bot has hijacked his account.

yes, but amazon does ship a lot faster than newegg. They also don't have a fetish for DHL...which just winds up going to a US Post Office, further adding to the shipping duration...and the cost.

LOL. Looks like he is an Amazon shill:p

I never wait more than 2-3 days total and the stuff is on my door, its almost always cheaper too. I guess it does help that I only live 2 states over from them.

You only get DHL on egg saver shipping.

Newegg gets the package on its way the same day it's ordered, at least for me, and I never have to wait more than 2-3 days (I'm in Maine, too).

Amazon rarely ships the same day unless you're a Prime member or select one of the more expensive shipping options. My experience using the cheapest shipping method from both: Newegg beats Amazon every time.

And I didn't think anyone used DHL anymore, except for international deliveries; they ceased US domestic deliveries sometime around the new year.

That's debatable. I've NEVER had anything take more than 3 days to get to me from Newegg in the 8+ years I've been buying almost exclusively from them. Amazon orders are usually as good too, especially with a warehouse right down the road in Chicago, but I've been left hanging where they have taken a week just to process my order, let alone ship it. Then again, I am a Newegg Preferred member where I am NOT an Amazon Prime member. Maybe...???

Either way, the anti-Newegg bot is mostly full of it...

Newegg, it depends. If it is something they can put in an envelope...they will use DHL+USPS. If it is a box, it will be UPS.

Also, anti-newegg bot, HA. I've probably ordered 3x as much stuff on Newegg as Amazon. I just don't see why Newegg even uses DHL...if they just used USPS it would be faster and cheaper as DHL uses USPS to deliver!

Sounded good!

That's completely the opposite of my experience...I have NEVER had anything shipped any other way other than UPS unless I specifically requested it (like FedEX overnight or the like). I've never had the displeasure of a DHL/USPS delivery. I'll count myself lucky then.

I'm on the opposite end...I've received packages from Amazon shipped USPS, but I've never received anything other than UPS from Newegg. I've had items shipped by Amazon that never arrived...nothing like that from the Egg!

What happened to the packages that didn't arrive? I haven't had any problems with either company & generally UPS is good with the egg.

I've only had one package not arrive, from Amazon. They replaced it with 1 day free shipping the very next day.

All of my Newegg packages have arrived without issue.

One thing I do like about Amazon over Newegg...free return shipping if the item is in some way defective. Not so with Newegg. Of course, Newegg has a way better tech selection, so I use each for what they are best at. Motherboard...Newegg. Game...Amazon
