Couple Buys $300 External HDD from Best Buy; Box Filled With Beans

So you walk into Best Buy, you buy a 500 GB HDD to store God knows what on and it runs you a cool 300 bucks. You crack open a box and what do you see? 3 bags of beans. Beans. No HDD, just 3 bags of dusty ass beans. Needless to say, the couple was absolutely pissed. Best Buy claimed it was not their fault and the manufacture had similar sentiments. The couple had to go all the way to CNN and got a gift card for the amount as compensation for covering the story. This is becoming almost a monthly occurrence with consumers getting tea bagged and the stores claiming they did not have to help out. Who do you think pulled the prank? Probably someone in the stock room who is unsupervised. 300 bucks to a multi-billion dollar company is nothing but to a consumer its a really bad afternoon. I am waiting to buy a something and get a dick in a box. Every single holiday, a dick in a box.

    I’ve heard and seen people swap crappy products for good ones and shrink wrap them again. But beans? That’s just low

    I think buy.com had 1Tb HDDs for ~$350 a few weeks ago. They’re always emailing me their deals.

    If you publish or copy DVDs, the uncompressed videos can fill up a HDD pretty fast.

    DVDs are closer to 4.5-9 gigs each. I filled a 250 gig drive working on videos for work and personal use in a week.
