How do the franchisees even make money with these sorts of heavy discount promos running so often?

One good tip with the rail pass that may seem obvious, but is to only buy it for the period of time you'll actually need long distance...

I think the only thing to watch out for is whether the notebook takes 7.5mm or 9mm 2.5" drives. I know that Crucial includes a 9mm spacer...

Cheers mate. Snagged Dishonored 2 for $5 pickup. I believe it can be activated as a Steam game, so that's handy.
