Confirmed with a CompUSA Operations Manager that event though the rebate form reads Buslink 52x12x52, the rebate form will be honored based on the SKU = 295607. Even the computer system has SKU = 295607 matched up to Buslink 52x24x52.

Indeed, I picked up one myself only after clarifying the "typo" issue and that 52x12x52 simply doesn't exist with the Operations Manager. Someone at Corporate of CUSA should have been fired.

I've decided to wait for the ultimate (?) 52x32x52 myself tho...

I find it interesting that the picture shows a 52x12x52 also. Buslink shows no such item - maybe it was limited production?

That photo is a pre-production shot of the box before they got the confirmation of exact product they were going to sell. I imagine that the box was probably created during the pre-production stages when BUSlink was still deciding on which drive to use. This photo was probably given out so Compusa could list the drive as a pre-order.

Here's the actual picture of the box.
