SanDisk Bargain


We honestly didn't quite expect the article about the 4GB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo bargain find to make such a stir. The purpose of the article was to inform people on a budget where to shop, saving them time and effort. It was unfortunate, however, that the website where it was being offered doesn't carry the product as of the moment, marking it as "currently unavailable from the manufacturer"; which means that they are not accepting any orders and that the buyer should just constantly check the website for any updates.

As we've posted in the comments section for that article, the information about the $104.99 price tag was obtained through the AntiRebate website, that linked Buy.com as the one selling it at that price. If anyone was inconvenienced in anyway, our apologies.

As means of compensation, I am giving you another great find. It doesn't have a $104.99 tag, it's $104.95 after the rebate, has a Bill Me Later option (details on the site) and is currently in stock, and this time we learned the value of a screencap. Much thanks to steveL88 for the save.

Ordered 2 of 'em (even though the rebate is only good for 1 per address...). Hopefully they won't suddenly be out-of-stock before it gets shipped...

 » Thanks

Thanks again steveL88. Great find. I already ordered one. I knew it was smart to wait a week to order one (last week the cheapest I found was $160).

If it is 10% off off their website, why would they need to do a mail in rebate?

 » Bill Me Later?

Has anyone bought it using the Bill me later option? Apparently you don't have to pay for 90 days... i was wondering if that is a good option or not?

 » #9, not valid with any other offer

since the B&H price has a $20 MIR which must require a UPC, you won't be able to get the 10% off from sandisk because they require a UPC cutout as well.

I bought it using Bill Me Later, but I already have a promotion on with them where I pay no interest until January 2007, so that negates the possibility of no payments for 90 days for me. On another note, I've already received my shipping info via email, so hopefully it will ship today and arrive on Friday.

 » fakes not likely in retail stores

someone correct me if im wrong, but fakes are likely in retail stores correct? Only on ebay? B&H is a reputable camera and video store. They wouldn't knowingly sell fakes.

 » BH - not good - requires scan of credit card

As an international customer, I'm not pleased that this dealer wants to have a copy / scan of my credit card. Especially if I transfer that with unsecure email, chances are that the whole world sees credit card details including photo, number, security number etc. No thanks. Many online shops can do without that. Maybe someone has another source for good price memory stick for international customer. Cheers.

Does this one work as good as the gaming edition? Does it even matter if it is the gaming or non-gaming one?

Just curious what the difference was.

 » @ Lgndryhr

There was an article on Gamespot a while back that showed a slight difference in write speed from the regular MS Pro Duo to the gaming one, but I have a regular Sandisk 2GB stick and I can't tell the difference.

   by Lgndryhr (Unregistered) - 2006-08-02
 » Thanks steveL88

Thanks for answering. I have always purchased the gaming ones.....I have bought a 256 MB and 1 GB gaming.
