I wouldn't go back to Dick Smith's at Eastland Shopping Centre because I went there with Ken tonight and he purchased a Seagate Expansion 500GB Portable Hard Drive for $89, which was brand new in the box but when Ken got hot home he took it out of the box and he tested it and it had Freaky already on label of the Hard Drive also there was no warranty in the box either and the sticker was broken as well.

Also when I went to return it for him tonight Patrick claimed that he sold it to Ken brand new, which was not true and he was very abusive but he finally swapped it over for another one after I explained what exactly happened.
