Dell rebunked it.
Dear Valued Customer,

After further consideration, we have determined that the $200 in rebates will be honored on eligible purchases of 200 GB Western Digital hard drives ordered between September 25, 2003 and September 27, 2003. Please disregard our prior communication on this issue. We value you as a customer and will keep your order in process at the original online purchase price.

If you have cancelled your order due to the initial message posting and wish to reinstate your order, please respond back to the [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
<<mailto:[email protected]>> mailbox. Due to the overwhelming response to this promotion the Western Digital hard drive will have twenty one days lead time before the item ships. We will be posting revised instructions for submitting rebate requests and will be extending the submission deadline.

If you would still like to cancel your order please contact us at the [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <<mailto:[email protected]>> mailbox. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you and thank you for your patience in this matter.
