Deal on SD Cards

Post by Libra Monkee »

If anyone needs SD Cards or just thinks they want more Buy.com has Kingston 2GB SD Cards for 27.99 - 15.00 (rebate expires on the 17th) = 12.99 w/ free shipping. Plus if you check out with Google Checkout (and it's your first time doing so) they take another $10 off the total. The limit for the rebate is two so just picked up one for my phone and one for my Wii for about $8 each.

Picked up a couple of those and an external 200G HD.

Thanks Chuck!

Look closely at checkout though, everything I got had "free shipping" on it. But after you have reviewed your subtotal (which didn't include shipping), you enter in your CC info and then if you look closely, there is a standard shipping charge that is automatically calculated. In my case it was $7.14. No biggie, but a little on the sneaky side.

I went back through the steps again and found out that you have to select economy shipping to get it at no cost, and that take sup to two weeks.

Just a little FYI, but still a fine deal.

Seems like a pretty good deal. I will pass this on to my father. His new camera only uses the SD cards.

Also, how does the Wii utilize these cards?

Huh, let me put my brain mit on b/c that went way over my head...was that supposed to be a joke? :?

Okay, let me try to decipher this:

-Redmond = Redmond, WA home to Nintendo corp
-Texas Hold'Em = Great poker game

Must be a joke that I am not getting. :?

Nevermind. I just searched the interwebs and it spilled its secrets about the love connection between Wii and SD cards.

guess the SD card is shipping seperatly. wish they would have told me to expect seperate shiping ahead of time...
