Well, with Macworld so close, that may happen. So I'd wait to complain until after then.
I'm on MacNN forums, but no longer have a Mac...

There shall be 500GB drives you can put in your MacBook very soon and for far less than Apple would offer, if they even do so on the MacBooks rather than just the MacBook Pros. Naice.

I recommend the Hitachi 200GB 7200 RPM for $169.99 after $30.00 rebate. It's a performace boost due to the higher RPM, it's fairly large, and it's the lowest price that I've ever seen:

200GB 2.5" Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 7200RPM 16... (0A50940) at OWC

I also recommend the below enclosure for the drive that you're replacing. It's $11.99 with free shipping, it's made well and it works:

- Free Shipping: 2.5" Serial ATA (SATA) Notebook Hard Drive to USB 2.0 Aluminum External Enclosure : EMST25 (Retail, Silver)
