Great deal here. I'll sell my 120 off to someone and make out like a bandit here. Can never have too much storage when you're a junkie.

I'm doing that and getting nada.

Also, this is the best Woot I've ever Wooted.

Yep - Use the Order Number as the Reference (in the Reference Box, not the Account no. Box), then enter the Country and Zip. Should show.

Awesome. Thanks. I was using the wrong zip; billing instead of shipping.

It's suppose to be to me tomorrow at 3pm! Woot!

Bummer, others have had theirs shipped already I ordered just after was listed and has not shipped yet...was overnight something one had to request?

Whoa, non-smartpost shipping? Overnight shipping? Can we start getting that all the time still for $5?

Not as far as I know. Have you looked by reference number? Woot hasn't said that mine has shipped, and I haven't gotten an official tracking number yet, but most people seem to have already found theres by the ref

(Sorry for the double post)

Woot! Just checked and mine shipped today, and just left Addison, TX, on its way to me tomorrow.

Thanks for filling us in everybody. I should be getting mine tomorrow :D

When are we going to have Bundle of Coats? Friday night or Saturday night?

The predictor suggests we won't have one until January 11, but I don't trust it :P

Colecovision was always supposed to get Dragon's Lair on a separate Laserdisk player but that never happened. Pisses me off even to this day!

Yet Dragon's Lair is a joke compared to 99% of today's games. I think you can safely let go of that one. Maybe it was only released in Japan...

oh several, but none outweigh the plus side of having gotten this drive for $54.99 shipped.

KamikazeKen: Please keep your password the same. I will gladly order you every Woot. Three of each?

I was so excited when I saw this last night. I had to go check the retail price, because I wasn't sure if the hard drives had dropped this much or not. I was really glad to see it was a Microsoft product, instead of a knock off.

I've been waiting for a good deal on a bigger hard drive for a long time. I've used all but 2GB of my 20GB hard drive...

Thanks for posting the way to track the packages. I'll be getting mine tomorrow!

dougofborg wrote:Whoa, non-smartpost shipping? Overnight shipping? Can we start getting that all the time still for $5?

I'm going to guess "no" on that one. Clearly, Woot got a great deal on these drives, so they could sell them at a low price and eat the shipping costs.

It would be nice if we regularly had the option of paying a coupla bucks to go UPS...

Call it lying, I don't have a problem with that. BUT, >every< hard drive manufacturer counts it this way.

Yes, these DEFIANTLY work on a Colecovision. But you have to mod it first, and install OS 3.24HU. But then it works.

Sweet ... Mine is on it's way via Fedex for Delivery Tomorrow ...

I just picked up a 4GB Kinect bundle today at Gamestop to install it in!

lol of ALL days to freakin' miss a woot. Oh well. I really don't foresee filling up my 120gb (since I use a 6TB share for movies/music) so maybe it saved me $55 or at least I'll tell myself that. hehe

Via FedEx tracking by reference (order) number... enroute from Texas and due for delivery here in So. California tomorrow (Thurs) by 3pm.

Thanks woot!

You think that's bad, I routinely have to evict installs and DLCs off my 20GB to make room for new ones. With an added 16GB thumb drive I have room for all of three games and not much else. I don't even bother with movies for this reason. Most of the stuff I've bought on Live will have to be re-downloaded because I simply don't have room for it so it waits for me in the cloud. Having 250GB is going to be so nice! I've had some pretty good Woots but this one tops them all.

Has anyone ever tried to ghost or image an Xbox 360 drive?

I would like to image this new one before I use it encase it goes bad.

How large of a hard drive can you put in an xbox?

Is it possible to just image the xbox 360 drive and dump that image on a new laptop sata drive? Install it into the xbox case and presto.

Sounds easy enough but I've never tried with the xbox drives before. After I transfer everything I might give it a whirl.

Just curious.
Any one know? Off to the interweb

After some reading. I'll stick with the brand upgrade.

Ordered it last night, haven't gotten email that it shipped. Anyone else?

Wonder if it really will arrive by christmas

is this SEGA compatible?

for those wondering about tracking, you go to fedex.com, track by reference, use your order number and zip code. Mine also shows delivery tomorrow even though I didn't get a shipped email yet.

Just checked my account, no status update yet but Woot did say 5 business days. I doubt I'll get it before Christmas.

Just checked.... same here delivery on the 23rd.

Go to the FedEx and track by reference number, which is your order number. I have no shipping notification on Woot, but my drive should get here tomorrow.

Yep, same here. check at FedEx website, even though it says "5 business days" in My Account. Scheduled delivery tomorrow. Sweet deal.

Looks like mine should be here around 4:30 in the afternoon, so I can drive back home from college that evening without leaving the package out in the cold! Awesome!

It's the exact same text they always have on that page. They just didn't change it to fit the occasion. Far as I can tell, my drive is set to show up tomorrow at 3 (though Fedex/UPS usually doesn't deliver here before 5 or 6.)

FedEx uses multiple delivery "networks"... I don't think the typical FedEx ground trucks (purple/green) deliver FedEx overnight packages (purple/orange). The routes and schedules are different.

I hope your right. I thought I saw something on there about getting it in time for Xmas . But I have no shipping info yet.

Thanks got a couple for gifts before they sold out.
Would be nice if they got here before xmas.

When I click on my account, I don't get an order number! What does it mean?

Click "My account". On the left, look under "What you've bought from Woot". Click "Microsoft 250GB Hard Drive for Xbox 360". Then click "click here to view your receipt." Then look for: "on 12/22/2010, you successfully wooted. order #######"

Go to https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking?cntry_code=us. Enter the ###### into "* Enter reference" (the SECOND box) Select "United States" in "Destination country" and enter your zip code in "Destination postal code". Click "Track".

Duh? I cannot believe I didn't see that. Thanks alot. It's supposed to be here today by three and it's already a a sorting facility not too far from my house.

Not to mention these things weight about as much as a banana...so they aren't super expensive to expedite (relative to shopping a watermelon-weighted item, at least).

I just went and made myself hungry with the fruit comparisons.

I live about 5 Miles from the facility in Addison. It's amusing to look at the Fedex tracking and see that the package is traveling 100+ miles through the fedex system just to get back to the same general area.

Maybe woot should consider a local pickup option.

"On FedEx vehicle for delivery" @ 9:03 AM Eastern. How can anybody doubt the Woot when they say it'll arrive in time for Christmas? Thank you Woot, may I have another?
