Yes yes, its your money and your choice and all, but was was it really necessary to be so damn rude in replying to somebody who is just making a suggestion? You take it or don't for what its worth at your own discretion.

^^ yeah, I did get a lot of stuff this time around from the black friday sales.
I also wanted to get a Mini PC bare bones, but it was becoming a bit much for my sis and there is the risk of customs duties.
My past black friday spends were only a couple, but I still managed to pick some good deals. I got a Sennheiser HD480 for $60 which was selling full price of close to $100 in US and over 9k in India at the time. In another year, I got a Kinect sensor for $59 with a bundled game.
Regarding the Sandisk chat, I think its highly probable that the guy you chatted with is sitting in some call centre in India itself.

You are probably right... But whatever he said if it turns out to be true then it would be a huge relief for the ppl who bought extreme pro ssd (which comes with 10 yrs warranty)Regarding the Sandisk chat, I think its highly probable that the guy you chatted with is sitting in some call centre in India itself.
Same was told to me by Seagate customer support and had an email to show for it.You are probably right... But whatever he said if it turns out to be true then it would be a huge relief for the ppl who bought extreme pro ssd (which comes with 10 yrs warranty)

My experience with SanDisk - India - was delightful. No questions asked replacement of an el cheapo pen drive. What I liked was they do not assume that you are trying to rip them off, which is quite welcome.
I completely agree with you.
Seagate and WD have become money w**re... They used thailand floods as a reason to increase prices of hdds and didnt bring the price down yet of the hdds, its been almost 2 to 3 years when floods had hit thailand... Not only did they increase the price of the hdds, they also didnt even think twice before reducing the warranty of hdds from 5 to 3 years (and now i guess its either 2 or 1 year if i am not wrong). Every company operates differently so there is a possibility that whatever Customer Care Execitive told me, could turn out to be true.
Yes, i had bought G-Shock GW2310 from amazon last year for $82... They had delivered the watch in safe and sound condition... The only bad thing that i would like to mention is that i had ended up paying a lot of custom duty as compared to the custom duty i had paid for importing computer parts... I think custom duty is somewhere around 25% for watches. Dont worry you wouldnt end up paying anything extra than what amazon would be pre charging you
