I picked one up at Officeworks Auburn. It's not in their website. But this one looks exactly the same as the 1TB version:

They have 5 left. These used to sell at $111. Not bad for gb/$.
Mod - edited title.
My nearby stores are are all sold out, which is a shame. To those who managed to pick one up, lucky you.
Great Find - Lucky you
I've called my local store, no luck
I've also called OW online
Zero stock in QLD
bugger
nothing in gabba
not at Brookvale
got officeworks to check their system, all sold out in syd.
Maybe the only remainders were at Auburn.
Does Auburn tend to have more old stock?
No luck in Hornsby.
i just picked up 2 in auburn sydney
i called about 3pm and had them reserved for me :P
THANK YOU!!!! WOOOOOOT
1.5tb for 140ish bucks :)
1 for my sister 1 for me ^_^
very happy, $145 cheapest from msy and about $185+ from other stores like mwave but u can get 1tb for $150+postage from HT
Great price, but on whirlpool, they mentioned that 750GB drives have a high failure rate in some models.
"The 750 GB drives are getting closer in value, however be aware of high failure rates in some models (search for posts or google for results)."

uh
i just did a search on whirlpool about 30 threads on 750gb hard drives and NONE seem to report any issues?
hard drives only fail if u misuse(e.g extreme heat or vibration) them (besides those 1tb seagates) I've had heaps of different hard drives in my life and not 1 has failed.
People get all hyped up about failure rates on whirlpool after 1 noob makes a thread and complains that his/her drive has failed.
wait… which 1tb seagates, i have one of those
my hdd failed me twice.
one was seagate and the other one was western digital.
Hard drives do fail. That's why you have backups.
None in Toowoomba, QLD
none in WA!
How did you check?
There are 750GB WD MyBook drives in WA, at OW, just not at this price.
none in ACT and surrounding areas
None at Hobart.
Both the Elizabeth St and the Russel St. stores in Melbourne CBD do not have any stock.
Guess it is just an Auburn, NSW store specific sale.
none in Alexandria NSW, just called.
True bargain for a portable drive. Even the alone drive for 750gb is $85 on staticice.
