Poll question: Should I return the extra hard drive, mouse, or both?
I bought it recently, at a black friday sale. Along with an ergonomic mouse. Retail price of the HD was $150 and mouse was $100.

On sale, they were $60 for the HD and $50 for the mouse. (then the tax)

Total net cost was $120.

The mouse's battery is not replaceable. Otherwise it's a terrific unit (Logitech Revolution MX)

Should I return the extra hard drive, mouse, or both?

1. Why would you want to return them?

4. Because they admittedly were impulse purchases...

6. Because I already spent a bit on updated computer hardware
Maybe I should use the tools rather than mope about if I should return them, only to change my mind again and spend full price when that day comes.

10. Where is the "I deserve it" factor?

3. Only one of each.
One mouse. One HD.

The mouse being so lowly priced, I could not resist.

I was thinking of an extra hard drive for data backup, but I do already have a workable spare...

7. I'm assuming this was a cordless mouse, otherwise no need for batteries, right?
In that case, return the sucker. Keep the harddrive though. No telling when you're gonna need one, and no telling how much it'll cost when you do.

8. Built-in lithium ion battery.
Will probably last 2 years. But it cannot be replaced. x(

It's a logitech Revolution MX.

(Good reviews on it there, despite being a year old)

9. That's just bad design, not allowing it to be replaced.
That, or they're trying to sucker people into buying a replacement every so often.

Probably both. :P

11. IT's always good to have a backup hard drive around.
got one in box 3 feet away. Impulse purchase. 200gb for $60 at Best Buy one recent Sunday. I may just install it and use the old one for backup.
