Actually when you get away from specific sale items it's about $0.90-$1.00/GB here in California. That seems generically true from 80GB up to 300GB and is true in the Bay Area where I live and Southern CA where I just set up a wireless MythTV system for my parents so I'd assume it's close in most major markets right now. After 300GB it seems to go a bit crazy. I've seen 400GB cheaper than 300GB side by side on the shelf. I've also see 400GB at 2x 300GB. Go figure... ;-) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
