Sandisk 4gb MS Pro Duo Gaming $20 Circuit City B&M

[Nephilim]

CONFIRMED not YMMV at B&M.

Thanks to MXPowar for this part:
UPDATE: In case, you are afraid of this being out of stock when you get there, I just tried this and it works, Buy it here (http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=164259&linkid=j13774608k31063&affiliateid=k31063&mid=), then choose in-store pickup and your credit card will be refunded about ~$41. A CC representative just called me about this so it is confirmed.

Here is what is on the reciept

A picture may be worth a thousand words in other situations, but in this case, it's worth a :-s

[bill123]

yea we got tags for them yesterday. the sandisk MS pro duos are really 20 bucks and scan that way. I plan on snagging one myself.

[mxpowar]

Dammit, I hate B&M deals as opposed to online. Especially Circuit City with their (mostly) mentally disabled staff. But $20 for a 4GB MSProDuo? Might be worth a trek through the insane asylum (i.e. Circuit City).

[vlv723]

I'll check it out on the way to work...will leave outcome here

[Soujiro_Seta]

hmm I'm gonna swing by CC tomorrow monring anyway to grab some of the $5 DVDs this week so I will see if I can pick one of those up. Thanks OP! I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[jkam]

I might have to go check this out. It would be nice to have a 4GB card for the PSP instead of a 2GB one.

[slidecage]

might have to return the one i got for 35 if this is true. I got to run to the post office tomorrow next to a CC will see then. not holding my breath though

[pcktlnt]

Thanks OP, been looking for a cheap deal. Going to see if any are available at the local CC.

[Firestorm]

Someone want to buy and send it to me in Canadaland? PM me :( I will pay $30.

[JP]

I just went and bought 3 of them. They rang up as 20 each. The manager who was ringing me up got a wierd look on his face, and mentioned that it was VERY strange for them to be that price. As soon as I was out of the store he made a bee-line for the flash memory section. He is either buying them all up himself, becasue they only had 4 more left of that particular model, or he was taking them off the shelf. Either way I got my 3. Make sure you get the clear red ones though, the blue ones have a different UPC code on the back so it might not work for those. Thanks OP! I owe you greatly!

[Steven91745]

WOW!! great price, thanks for info..

[SerenityKry]

Wow, I'm damn glad I didn't get one on Black Friday for $35... $20... Man, I think I'll get me two! :D

[Foo228]

deal sounds kick ass, thanks op

[TrunksSSJ23]

Shit you serious? I am telling my mom to return this $35.00 one than, and buy me two of those :D.

[mrhappi79]

Does anyone know if I can return a 4 gb pro duo I bought on Black Friday from Best Buy if I already opened it?

[toogood]

Just picked up one at my local CC in Hollywood. There was one left, but I saw another person who asked for it, so I guess it must of been sold. Thanks OP.

[Veronica Mars]

Item number or something?
My CC is very difficult.
Sorry, but it would help.

Thanks

[JP]

I just went back to the store to pick a couple up for my friends and the 4 that were left are now gone. Not sure if they sold out or if the manager pulled them off the shelf. The packaging on them still had the 99.99 sticker on them, so I'm not convinced they sold out.

[Wario64]

Picking one up after class today. Thanks.

[Stingercjc]

Hmmm, does anyone know if Gamestop takes these in as trades? If so, this could end up being a nice thing to flip.

[Justin42]

If I order one online (they're available but $57.99, showing as in-stock at all my local CCs) will they honor a lower local (in-store) price?

I don't think so...CC is a pain in the ass.

They normal give around 35 for used 4 GB stick. Even if it is in the package, they will give you the 35 for trades. I'm not sure if that 30% will help out on that or not. It says games but nothing about accessories.

[Justin42]

Actually, just found this-- I may go ahead and try to get one...

Gamestop was not buying used memory sticks as of a few months back when I was trying to sell some back to them. Unless someone can correct me (from a recent trade), I don't think you can make any money that way.

they will give you half of their used price minus a few bucks. It wont metter if it is still in the package.

[blueweltall]

I don't think its a ymmv deal because the CC I went to have a sale sign stating it was on sale for an even $20. They have alot left. I didn't pick up any since I want to get it price match at Best Buy and I also hate CC.

[JP]

I traded in two defective 4 GB sticks I got off eBay for 10 a pop about 1 month ago. They gave me 34.?? for each. They never check them in store so they don't know if they are any good or not.

What?

what to fraud that company out of money.

by the way their take your info down for a reason. dont be shocked if the cops bust you

[Dijital]

Anyone care to pick one up for me for say $30 shipped? Would be greatly appreciated for soon to come psp slim.

What are you 13? Cops wont give a shit about a faulty memory card, if Gamestop accepted it, and paid him money for it, that's THEIR fuck up, not his.
Also Gamestop rips people off every day, he's not hurting them.

[Wario64]

what happens if you were unaware that the sticks were fake? i know some friends who buy sticks from ebay that are fake but arent aware of it

[PaleGreen]

Thanks for sharing this deal, OP! :applause:

I snagged two on the way home from work. The picture was extremely helpful, as there were about 5 different types in the case. The posted price was $59.99, but they rang up at a cool $20 even.

[Kayden]

My GF just stopped by there and said 4GB rang up as $60. 2GB came up as $20. She argued with them and then they showed her some advertisement that said they were $20 OFF. ...So who knows.

Thanks, man. That's what I'm gonna do. Hopefully, I can get it for $19.99. Otherwise, back it goes.

she picked up the wrong one. the 4gb gaming/psp ones ring up $20 each. they're the red translucent ones

Okay I guess defective was the wrong word to use. They worked fine, but not for homebrew, because they weren't original Sony's. They didn't have MagicGate support. At the time, I didn't know they would give me 30 a pop for them. I figured they would ream me like they do on everything you trade in to them.

I think the packaging is key. They had similar-looking 4GB sticks labeled as "Multiuse" or some crap. The $20 units are labeled "Gaming". (See OP's image)I don't recall the color of the multiuse sticks, but the ones I nailed look like this:

Yeah, the only ones on sale are the red ones. The multiuse cards are a blue/light blue type color. I made sure to get the ones that looked like the one in the first post. They really are the same sticks just different branding.

[dts5000]

Bought 2 at my CC. The tag read $20. The packaging looks different from the OPs, but the cards are the same.

Thank you OP!:)

Thanks OP! I ordered 3 online with in store pickup. I got about $120 back when I picked them up. Good deal.

[Justin42]

For those who got one, what is the warranty? It says "unlimited" on the site but most Sandisks I've seen are 1-3 years. I've only had bad luck with Sandisk memory sticks (I have 3, none work for more than 2-3 weeks before they start dropping out of my memory card reader, acting flaky, giving errors, etc).. I am tempted but keep thinking of my bad luck.

I've never had issues with Sony memory sticks...

5 years, according to the inner packaging.

[Alucard400]

I picked up two in the North Hollywood CC (Victory blvd.) since they sold out in CC Los Angeles(Sunset blvd.). They had three left and they were all labeled 99$. asked for a price check while holding two, and they rang up $20. Thanks a bunch OP!!

There is still one left in the CC in north hollywood.

[goengland]

Does anybidy know when is this deal going to expire? I ordered for in store pick up but not be able to go there until Wed. :-(

[Kayden]

Would they all be in the same place? She says all they had were blue and yellow.

[JP]

At my store they were all next to each other. The only other option might be that they were sitting in the PSP section.

[metaly]

Buh. They're out of stock near me at the moment, but I'm going to keep checking back during the week because this is an insane deal. Really makes me sad how much I paid for my 4GB back in February. :[

[blueweltall]

Would they all be in the same place? She says all they had were blue and yellow.


Its just the area where they're located on the shelf is different. They have all the blue and yellow pro duo in one area and for some reason all the 4gb red pro duo at the end of the shelf next to the compact flash. She probably over look it. I did it my first time too. You would expect all the pro duo to be all in one area but no.

[s4alex]

I went to two CC. Picked up a total of 5. Used a 15 off 100, which made it even slicker. Yay.

But, the Palo Alto store, the sticks were actually located by the PSP games, and not even under the right tag. The girl was an idiot (as usual) that I talked to, didnt know or want to use a computer to look it up. So, I just walked around. Scored, now am happy. PSP is happy. Camera is happy. Camcorder is happy. Cousin will be happy. Happy ending for everyone!! Yay.

In my case, the "gaming" cards were behind glass, while the "multiuse" cards were in the open on the adjacent rack.

Don't forget about the Customer Service/Pickup area. Most stores stock an assortment of accessories there.

Forget your cousin, I was going to head over to the EPA store after work. :bomb:

[Nate Dizzle]

Went after school and got one for $20.00

Does anybody know the difference between this one, the ultra II, the ultra III, and the normal blue sandisk 4 gb? I've been looking everywhere for the read/write speeds of this card and they're no where to be found... What a slick deal!!! Cheapest I see anywhere else is $60.00 :bouncy:

Saved $20 buying COD4 only to spend it on the card :roll:

[bstan21]

Picked one up at the Independence, MO store. They had about five left. The packaging is indeed a little different, but the light pink/red stick is what you are looking for. Mine has a little red sticker on it that says "Compatible with Playstation 3.

Thanks op!

[Morpheus]

Thanks OP. Managed to snag one.

[Firestorm]

Nobody wants to ship this to me? Paying $30 US over PayPal. It'll probably be only about $2 to ship. Just mark it as a gift worth $20. So if you buy two memory cards (1 for you 1 for me) the profit makes it as if you got the card for $12 =D

Just use the cheapest shipping option. Doesn't need to be in the packaging, I only need the memory card.

[Chanash]

thanks op. got two! my BB one is now going back !

[BLAZETIGER]

Thanks for the post. Was able to pick up 8! Too bad they didn't have any more. I would have needed 5 more so I could have traded them all in for another PS3! (P.S. - Gamestop is/was offering $33 trade in credit for them).

Make it $35 and I'll ship you one. Gamestop is offering $33 so this would help offset shipping and Paypal fees. Let me know.

[BLAZETIGER]

Which CC did you go to?
Sorry. I went to the one in Victorville, So. Cal

[kevzik]

I can get a few for some cags for about 30...

[TrunksSSJ23]

Dammit, my store just sold out. The closest one is 6 miles away now.

[Firestorm]

Make it $35 and I'll ship you one. Gamestop is offering $33 so this would help offset shipping and Paypal fees. Let me know.

I'd really like to keep it around $30, but you're a CAG Newbie and I'd rather not pay first to someone with no feedback. And I doubt you awnt to ship first. I think my friend's brother is still in the States so I'll see if he'll get it first. If not, I think I'll contact kevzik.

No problem. I totally understand. I've been a lurker here, and barely started posting. I'd gladly do it for $30, but once you take away the 3% Paypal fees and shipping (even if only $2) it cuts it down a bit. If I wasn't trying to get a PS3 for as low as possible I'd gladly cut you a deal.

$399 PS3 plus tax comes out to @ $430. Divide that by $33 = about 13 of these cards. Each card at $20 ($17 with the extra $15 off for every $100 spent at CC) brings the cost of the PS3 to about $221-$260ish with trade in a Gametop. Saves me over $120-$140 if it all works out.

[lorne]

Thanx OP. The Missus just snagged one, $20 as reported. The guy that rang it up was shocked.

[Wario64]

my cirucit city didnt have it. the employee checked nearest ones and they're all gone too. arghhh

[cycophuk]

Can anyone tell me if I can use these for the Wii or do I have to buy the official Nintendo SD cards?

[Machine]

Thanks OP! I picked one up from the Ann Arbor CC. I left a couple in case any other local CAGs want one. They were not in the gaming section - they were in with compact flash and SD cards right next to the digital cameras.

[Dijital]

PM Sent.

[Ravaged]

Might have to pick it up considering I lost the other one...

[jtdragon]

Can anyone tell me if I can use these for the Wii or do I have to buy the official Nintendo SD cards?
No, the memory stick duo pro cards are not the same as SD cards that the Wii takes. You can buy the Nintendo-brand SD cards if you feel like giving your money away :) Any generic SD card should work fine.

[vlv723]

The one by my work sold out (City of Industry/Puente Hills)...d'oh

Then, I looked at the one in West Covina and said it has it in stock...arrgghh!!!

Well I already got 2, but it would be nice to have 3...I'll see if West Covina still has some tomorrow.

[62t]

just called 2 EB/GS and they said only $20 store credit for a 4 GB Pro Duo
edit: another one said $30

Thank u so much, im gonna run and grab one tomorrow morning..thanks for not being a hoarder :) :) :)

[zephie]

The National City CC in San Diego doesn't have any.:cry: I'll see if the Grossmont one does.

just called 2 EB/GS and they said only $20 store credit for a 4 GB Pro Duo
Thanks for the heads up, I guess I won't be using this to make some profit off of them.

[JP]

just called 2 EB/GS and they said only $20 store credit for a 4 GB Pro Duo

They probably realized what was going on when they had people trading ones in brand new and in large quantities.

[vinht426]

hey if any of you guys have the instore ads, can you scan and post? or can you guys just tell me how long will the sale go on for? thanks!

[62t]

i called another one and they said $30 credit. I have no idea now. Probably be a good idea to call before doing any trade in.

[asthmatic]

in store ad says $60 (save $20). They fixed this and its no longer $20, at least the the circuit city i went to. I checked a local store in the city of Long Beach, CA.

[Chanash]

The tag I read said 12/15/07 as the end date, but it's not advertised I believe, some sort of special sale?

[goengland]

The one in this week's ad is the regular type(Blue one), not the gaming one(Red)that we talked abt here.

[JP]

The tag I read said 12/15/07 as the end date, but it's not advertised I believe, some sort of special sale?

They actually had tags on yours? The tags on the ones at my store were 99.99. The employees looked extremely shocked on the price.

[Chanash]

the cashier looked at them and said, "Wow, I didn't notice these were 4gb's ill go grab one when im off work"

wewt wewt

edit: Yes there was a legit, $20.00 tag pegged on the wall, not written out on hand, but a real sale tag with an end date.

[asthmatic]

The one in this week's ad is the regular type(Blue one), not the gaming one(Red)that we talked abt here.

thanks, i guess im going back

[dhs odium]

Sweet, I just bought 5 of them and used the $15 off $100 coupon. Plan to keep one or two, some gifts, and other go to GameStop.

The Waterford one in Orlando has about 15-20 of them as of right this second.

[phattsoe]

after being 5 mins too late at two stores, i decided to try in-store pickup like mxpowar did. hopefully they do refund me $41 on each card (ordered 4) or else it'll be a quick return. thanks op!

[blackjaw]

Looks like I'll be making a stop at CC tomorrow.

[BLAZETIGER]

just called 2 EB/GS and they said only $20 store credit for a 4 GB Pro Duo
edit: another one said $30

Maybe if they scanned it. I took mine in and it was $30 plus 10% extra for the Edge Card = $33.

I just got back from GameStop and they took all 8 of my cards for $33 each. I also took in some extra games I had laying around and used the 30% off coupon from another thread and total came to $341 plus change. :bouncy:

[zephie]

You should go for 5 instead, and use the $15 off $100 coupon. That way it's 5 for $85 instead of 4 for $80.

[phattsoe]

true, i need to find that coupon... thanks!

[zephie]

true, i need to find that coupon... thanks!
You're welcome! As for the coupon, there's usually a stack of them at the customer service desk. Happy hunting.

[phattsoe]

You're welcome! As for the coupon, there's usually a stack of them at the customer service desk. Happy hunting.

awesome. probably just gonna show up, show the coupon, and get A LOT back on my card... good stuff... i guess my cousin and bro will be getting these for xmas...

[Strell]

None at mine. Damn.

[minos1067]

Just picked up four at Norwalk, CA. They still had about 6 left; couldn't locate the $15 coupon. Does anybody know if this is a YMMV or is it an actual Sale? Guess we'll find out tomorrow when more people try to pick them up. UnFreakinBelievable. I was almost sad that I didn't pick one up on BF for $35.

Thanks OP, BigTyme!

BTW - I bought both packaging, OPs and the other one pictured.

[highwaypatrolman]

picked one up at the cc in bellevue, wa. thanks a million, op.

[phattsoe]

Does anybody know if this is a YMMV or is it an actual Sale? Guess we'll find out tomorrow when more people try to pick them up.

i'm wondering this too - the closest store i could find was by my aunt's house; i'll be visiting her this weekend, so hopefully they'll still have them at $20 then. $315.32 for 5 is a little too much for me... at least i'll be picking them up at customer service, so a possible return SHOULD be easy...

[Wario64]

Wait, there's a 2nd package? Can anyone give me the sku number or whatever so i can call and see if they have it? i forgot if they have the 2nd kind.

this one:

[Bucho]

Fuck!!! I knew this was going to happen when I bought the $35 one. Wouldn't be a problem...EXCEPT...I used a $20 Reward Zone certificate on it, so returning mine is not really an option...motherfucking son of a fuck! Ah well, maybe I'll pick this one up and eBay the other. Fucking Best Buy...

Is SanDisk's "gaming" version of the pro duo really much faster than their "low-end" version, like they lead us to believe?

[phattsoe]

EXCEPT...I used a $20 Reward Zone certificate on it, so returning mine is not really an option...

i thought i read somewhere that if you return a purchase using an rz certificate, you get the points back and they resend it later on. you might want to doublecheck the forums (someone mentioned this before) or try calling bb?

i'm curious about this as well. anyways, color's always fun, right?

should be no real difference between the 2 but yeah i too went for the $35 one at black friday (actually thursday online hehe) and used a rewards coupon for $5 off which came to $32 with tax but seeing this deal, i just bought 2 for pickup tomorrow and return the unopened one from bestbuy.

Thx OP

[choazian]

Wait I'm kinda confused here. It says $57.99 what do all of u mean when you say 20...Is it a rebate when you cheackout or something

[Coraanu]

3 left in Northtown, MN as of close today. Clearly marked as $20.00.

[crewj]

ordered one for pickup tomorrow!

[MrBeatdown]

Crap! I just bought a 2GB for $18 on Black Friday and opened it. Damn.

[bboyrealm]

Picked up seven tonight in San Diego! Thanks OP!!!!

[zandrolouie]

Did NOT work for me at the CC Temecula, California. They were at the pegs for $99 and online pricing is $57.99. I ordered online and hoped that I would get the refund when I pick up in-store....no dice. Employees were very helpful but no trace of the $20 deal :booty:YMMV???

[Owen]

If anyone needs one for $30 shipped, pm me as I was able to get a few extras that will become gifts if no one needs them.

[mxpowar]

Wait I'm kinda confused here. It says $57.99 what do all of u mean when you say 20...Is it a rebate when you cheackout or something
You're supposed to get a refund on your credit card when you purchase it online IF and only IF the CC you pick it up at is selling it for $19.99. Otherwise, you are SOL. :(

[iamthekiller]

Wait I'm kinda confused here. It says $57.99 what do all of u mean when you say 20...Is it a rebate when you cheackout or something


it's IN-STORE only... shit

[ZerotypeX]

picked up 2, thanks op

[suko_32]

Ordered two for pickup tomorrow as well. I hope mine is selling it at $20 so i can price adjust it. Though, the best case would be if they didn't have it so I can get a $24 GC :)

[minos1067]

All is different is the packaging for the two. Same sku and price.

[Bucho]

i thought i read somewhere that if you return a purchase using an rz certificate, you get the points back and they resend it later on. you might want to doublecheck the forums (someone mentioned this before) or try calling bb?
You might be right. I just checked the Reward Zone forums, and although some say yes and some say no, it sounds like there's a decent chance. I'll follow up with customer service tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion!

[unforeseen]

Tried to pick one up at the local CC but manager said that they received a notification saying it was ringing up incorrectly. Gonna try again tomorrow. Glitch this, glitch that, very limited number of advertised games, etc. is getting on my nerves.

Luckily, BB is there to PM.

How exactly do you go about doing this? Don't you need a print ad to show them?

[phattsoe]

i'm interested in this as well because in all likelihood, i'll be explained that the "glitch" will have occurred when i try to pick this up... how'd you end up pricematching?

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Is this the same one from Frys.com (http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4989941?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG)? The memory stick look exactly the same but the SKU is SanDisk SDMSG-4096-A10.

[canedaddy]

I picked up two, and they had an official tag on the peg that said "$20, regularly priced at $99," or something like that. Thanks a lot, OP!

[pentapenguin]

Ordered one online to pickup tomorrow. Thanks OP!

[Gotchaforce]

i went in, asked if they could check stock on the sku and the girl instead leads me to their memory stick section where the regular blue ones are (the camera stuff) i ask her if theres a gaming memory card spot and she leads me to the last pair of these in a plastic container in the PS3 section. She's like we have these (in reference to the red transparent ones) but the ones i just showed you (the blue ones) are on sale for cheaper. I just keep telling her to check the price because i want the gaming version and eventually she does it going "oh its actually $20", then she checks the price over and over again to make sure its for real and another girl employee suddenly takes interest and says "$20?? for a 4 gig?". This other employee starts ringing me up and is scanning and scanning the MS and nothings happening. Finally she gets the one that initially helped me, they both get back to the customer service desk and shes scanning it and suddenly theyre all on "hold" explaining that when the inventory says zero and theres a hold that theyre for instore pickup customers. She kept saying alternatives like "i can check another store" (of course she looks and no other store has them) or "i can get you the other 4GB..... for $60". I argue for a minute or two that this doesnt really make sense im here right now, but just leave because the store was closing in 10 minutes and i decided in christmasy spirit or some horseshit that i would let this one go

If i had realized that what they were doing is refusing to sell me a product on their store shelves (this was NOT from the back) i probably would have gotten it with a talk to the manager but whatever. They had 4 memory sticks on hold, so whichever CAGers are in San Jose area it looks like you won due to circuit city's stupid policy.

[NolbertoS]

Dammit...I was at CC yesterday..should've checked it :(...hope there's some left for the weekend.

damn that sucks. hopefully there's a cag out there with an extra who'll help you out (in the christmasy spirit, etc., hah). i know i would if my order actually goes through...

[unforeseen]

I meant that BB will match other CC deals (when CC does not even honor their own ads), not this one.

[Gotchaforce]

I dont really care about owning it since i dont use my psp that much because on the go i use my ipod and at home i have a ton of 360/ps3 games to play.

It still pisses me off that they had the physical product sitting out on the shelf, and refused to sell it to me. If they had it stored in the back like they are supposed to then i wouldnt give a shit but its the fact that they had them out on the shelf, which means its AVAILABLE. I really didnt realize how much bullshit it was at the time that i had come so close and been denied because of employee laziness, but only about halfway home did i realize this so i couldnt really argue it.

[prateeko]

I'll have to check this out tomorrow morning before work...

Whats the best way to order it online and get it for $20? Do I ask them to change the price there or will it automatically happen online tonight when I order it?

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Email to CS for refund. I guess nobody try that.

[AlphaCananogram]

Got 4 of these, gonna put lotsa crap on these

[Zemmix]

Well here's my luck-less story.

Ran to the Irvine, CA, Circuit city when I got off work at 4. As my luck would have it there was an older 'tard who I think had bought a couple from the store with online pickup but I guess they had only one in stock and he was giving them a hard time.

Ran across town to the Newport Beach CC. Still no dice. Had them look it up in there system and they showed three in stock at Huntington Beach. Called them up and yes they had it but they wouldn't hold it for me. I should have just given up then but i'm such a sucker I drove through 30 minutes traffic to get there only to have them tell me there aren't any in stock. They looked it up in the system and showed a -2 inventory. I have a strong hunch (by the tone in his voice when he read me the $20 price it showed on his screen) that the guy I had talked to on the phone originally went right after the call and bought them all.

So I finally gave up. What I've learned from this is that I think I am done with CC and wild goose chases like this at B&M stores. If the deals not online then forget it.

[RelentlessRolento]

genna try this weekend.

[phantomer]

for cc deals, cc.com's in-store pick up is your best option as long as the website got it. i think their site constantly updates when things are out of stock. and if they dont have your order, you'll still end up with $24 giftcard for free.

i ordered 1 online for store pick-up when it was in stock. went, picked 1 up no hassle, and came back. checked the website and it was out of stock at the store i came from.

[Nephilim]

I started this thread. I do not have a CC near me, the photo in the OP is from someone at SD.

If someone has a spare of these, PM me and I will be grateful.

[Cao Cao]

Lé Sigh.
I went to the site this morning, and it said that it was available for in-store pickup at the only Circuit City in the area. I go to the site tonight, thinking of stopping by the store tomorrow, and now it says "Out of Stock" for the store.

[donut]

That;s the one! GOOD LUCK!

[iamthekiller]

I got a few extra if anybody missed out.. $30 shipped

[crewj]

you might want to check online for stock at your local cc. all 3 locations that were sold out last night for me has had stock of it again.

well... it was in stock for me. sold out again.

[irishsoccermbw]

you might want to check online for stock at your local cc. all 3 locations that were sold out last night for me has stock of it again.

Thanks for the heads up, i just checked as well all three have it as 'available' this would be fantastic to get for my PSP and my brothers digital camera. Looks like I am going to have to skip my first class so I can get there when they open, sucks that they open at 10 and not 9...arg.

[Ruahrc]

Ann Arbor CC has 2 left on the shelf after I picked one up this morning. Price on the shelf is listed as $99 but it rang up for 21.20 after tax.

Nice find, thanks OP! I think I paid like $15 for my current 512MB card a couple of months ago when I bought my PSP!

Ruahrc

[doho7744]

In Phoenix the CC at Metrocenter is out. Arrowhead was supposed to have 12, but you might want to call in and verify. I found 20-30 at the one way out on Happy Valley Rd. Its a bit of a drive but worth it if you need some.

[Brian9824]

If anyone gets any extra and sees any on my list lemme know.

[Wario64]

you might want to check online for stock at your local cc. all 3 locations that were sold out last night for me has had stock of it again.

well... it was in stock for me. sold out again.

it says in stock for me, but it was sold out last night when i checked in store. hmm

[Soujiro_Seta]

I went to the CC in valley stream, ny to pick up frailty on dvd since it was on sale and went to look for the card. I went to the section and the $99 4gig were all gone :( But before I left I decided to take one last look in hopes of finding one. And sure enough behind a row of black 1 gig cards I found one! I took it to the register and it scanned for $20 but they said the comp said it was out of stock. So they had to get a manager to put it back in stock. He took like 10 minutes I was thinking that maybe he found out and wasnt going to give it to me but finally he comes back and says ok. So I got one! Thanks a lot OP!

[janizzzle]

man i really should check more often. hopefully there will be some after work =\

Any CAGs taking a look around NYC stores? I'd hate to go all around looking to find one. I don't trust the online stock checking routine at their site.

[Wario64]

i just called them and they said they dont have any, despite cc.com saying its in stock...

[emg28]

Just noticed this. The CCs in my area show that they have them available. I'm at work so I hope I can find one.

[bfg9k]

I've been thinking about getting one of these for months, so glad I waited. Scored one with no hassles, thanks OP!

[shiny]

just got back from the Valley Forge, PA CC. i ordered online this morning for pickup. after about 1/2 hour of various hassles, i walked out w/ 2 cards for about $18 each. i think the credit back and the 10% coupon (on the confirmation email) confused them.

[tightclaws]

I called and he says its ringing up at 59.99 grrrr they have one left.

[tightclaws]

I called and he says its ringing up at 59.99 grrrr they have one left.

I bet it was on price tag and they did not bother to ring it , I'm going to have to go there stupid employees.

[metaly]

I noticed these were back in stock this morning so I ordered a couple for in-store pickup. About a half hour later I got a call from the store saying that they're actually out of stock and they were going to refund my order. ahhrrr

you went today as in Tuesday and they only had 1 left? Wow I went last night and they had like 15. I bought 2. Thanks OP

[RoboPenguin]

>.< JUST bought one on Black Friday for $35 thinking I was getting some kind of deal... Dammit..

[DreamSymphony]

I picked up a bunch of these for people on here. PM me if interested :-)

[irishsoccermbw]

Picked up the last two at the Ann Arbor store, thank you OP for posting this and thanks fellow ann arbor CAG. One for my PSP, but the second is for my brother who is going to Belize for a medical missions trip and this will be perfect for him to take as many pictures as he wants and not have to worry about transfering them to a computer (he will be in a place where there is no electricity). Thanks again everyone!!!

[mxpowar]

Any CAGs taking a look around NYC stores? I'd hate to go all around looking to find one. I don't trust the online stock checking routine at their site.
Just picked mine up at the Atlantic Avenue Mall in Brooklyn, NY. Last one, sorry.

[ShonnyG112]

ANy body here picked up one from any CC in GA? I want to know before I go there.

[trunks982]

Just picked mine up at the Atlantic Avenue Mall in Brooklyn, NY. Last one, sorry.

fuck, i was gonna go there after work. im still at work.

[rknirmal]

Any reports on Houston area CCs? Especially NW area? My CC is a bit far and I don't want to travel all the way to see its out of stock and some are telling me its ringing up at the online price of $59.99, how can I be sure before going I will actually score some for $20?

I hear that even calling ahead won't work, they either lie or are wrong.

Also, since some have said it rings in store for $59.99, do you think they just canceled the deal and went back to the original price?

[wizzyx3]

No go for me, it rang up as $60.

[SpeedBrkr]

I ordered online last night for in-store pickup and picked it up today but it was $57.99 + tax (no price adjustment). I asked for a price check at the store and they said it was still $57.99. =/

Anyways I still checked out and proceeded to call customer service to get a price adjustment. That didn't work out either as they insisted $57.99 was the sale price from $99.99.

Ideas?

[rknirmal]

Problem is that this $20 deal isn't advertised offically in their print ads, online, anywhere so you have no proof right?

How did the first guy even find out this deal was going on if there's no official word about it?

[JP]

He found it on Slickdeals and the guy who found it on there probably just bought one and noticed the price was really low. I figure it was probably a glitch in the system somewhere that they are probably fixing now. Of course they have probably sold an enormous amount of them at the 20 dollar price too.

[norkusa]

I had to go to two different CC stores to find the 4 gig sticks on sale. The first one had them marked at $99, so I had the guy scan them and they rang up as $59.99 each. I had them scan both packaging styles too but they both rang up that way.

The other CC had them marked at $20 but when they rang them up, they scanned at $59.99. The employee ended up having to go back and grab the hanger tag for the sticks and manually enter the sale price.

Crazy sale. It's like CC doesn't even want to sell these sticks for the clearance price.

[slidecage]

SEEMS DEAL IS DEAD

in the computer its ringing up 59.99 now

I got one this mornign for 20 bucks (gift card wouldnt work ) so i had to pay via CC


Went back just 20 mins ago to use the gift card

Rings up in system 59.99

only way i got the 2nd one was i showed the recept that showed 20 bucks

They said it was a glitch in their system. It was to be the

1GB at 20 bucks

dont know to sell the other one off . keep it or what


they had 4 left in fort wayne but RINGING at 59.99


WOW are these things JUNK?

just check ebay and they are only getting LESS then 10 new

[rknirmal]

A HUGE majority of memory sticks on Ebay are unfortunately fake, especially from Hong Kong. Sucks that the deal is dead, I really wanted to go today and buy several of these babies for my PSP, only have a couple of 1gbs for it and I could really use the space to breath some life into it.

[robwhit1]

In CC now - deal is dead. They tried both and neither were $20 (rang up $60).

[dizzle24]

Damn...

Actually, I visited 3 stores last night.
1st store - just ran out, passed a customer with the last two, shelf tag, showed $99.99
2nd store - (called first from first store) - two left - printed shelf tag $20 and rang $20
3rd store - (checked inventory at 2nd store) - had 10 - shelf tag $20, rang 20
So, the original "locating" person of this deal either saw the prominent shelf tag or works at CC ....
Sorry for those that missed...I had a feeling last night and jumped in my vehicle accordingly....

[dragonjud]

Obviously, we all knew it was a glitch. Congrats to those who got in while it was still available.

The market for this type of Media is garbage in terms of returns or getting a fair price, because a lot of people will buy the discounted 'fake' card, instead of a real one from an honest seller.

You were so right , I saw it today and had to get in on it. After much BS, and calling around a found a nice girl in the Veron Hills store she heard about the deal and called around the Chicago area till she found the store that was selling it for that price. Even though it was ringing up at 59.99 she overrode it on the phone for me to be sure I could get the del before heading out. Was on the phone about an hour, but this was the best time I have ever had with CC CS I wish they all were like that. She never hung up on me, never condescended to me, and was incredibily nice. I'm glad I went today this deal will be totally dead by tomorrow.

PS I bought 2 for 42.60

[HERETOSTAY]

Why are so many of them fake on ebay?

[slidecage]

so i figure i blew

Star wars psp package 199.99
Memory card 20 bucks

Sold the star wars game for 30


Star wars Limited ed. PSP + 4 GB memory stick for 190 bucks NICE !!!!

glad i didnt get the dexter 1gb package now

[tightclaws]

Why are so many of them fake on ebay?

Because they can get away with it, its easy to scam you on Ebay where you buy it before you can try it.

[kell]

Went to three different CC's this morning and it rang up as $59.99 at all three. Then one CC wouldn't well me one of the three Wii zappers because they had 5 Internet orders for them (even though they were on the floor). Not a good day at CC for me. If anyone has extra please cml or I can get one of the 3 games at Wal-mart that currently dropped (SF EXA, RG, GG).

[RockyTop1]

Well the CC in West Knoxville had 2 left, but they both rang up at $59.99, so I guess I am out of luck. Thanks anyways OP

[quest1962]

Someone want to buy and send it to me in Canadaland? PM me :( I will pay $30.

Ha Ha.

You said Canadaland.

Everyone knows its Canadia!

Gonna check my CC now!

[cheapasslamer]

YOU GUYS ROCK. Mine had 6 left, which i grabbed. THey rang up at $60 but the stickers on the shelf said $20 and there were 3 pegboard spots for them............So the supervisor verified it, and took the tags off afterwards. It definitely "seemed" like a price mistake, given that the 2GB ones were $40, I'm thinking maybe it was supposed to be a $20 markdown ($80->$60) for the 4gb but instead got entered as $20 final price on whatever corporate device prints the labels. So anyone who has trouble should see if the peg has a label and have the supervisor verify its advertised that way.

I probably seemed a bit over-excited for someone buying memory cards.

Anyway, if i hadn't known about it ringing up wrong and "horror stories" about employees grabbing the rest, I wouldn't have gotten them all :) I'm not ebay scalping, i just like playing PSP games off the cards so the battery life is better. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[dragonjud]

Can a mod please add a big old *DEAD* to the thread title and move it.
Thanks.

[Foo228]

god damn it...I didn't get in on this

[D. Monic]

Can a mod please add a big old *DEAD* to the thread title and move it.
Thanks.
Well, it's not necessarily dead. Yeah, it won't ring up at $20 anymore, but if your CC still has the $20 shelf tag displayed, you can still get that price.

At this point it's very YMMV, but not entirely dead.

[zandrolouie]

Did NOT work for me at the CC Temecula, California. They were at the pegs for $99 and online pricing is $57.99. I ordered online and hoped that I would get the refund when I pick up in-store....no dice. Employees were very helpful but no trace of the $20 deal :booty:YMMV???

Different day, different store (MoVal, Cali)...still no dice :-(

Anybody in the Riverside County, OC or Eastern L.A. County getting it?

[stuntdoogie]

I just called a nyc store and they said its 60 bucks.

[arthurRWD]

I've got 5 of them to sell

$33 shipped each

[daruler022]

I just got one for $10 at my local CC in Cary,NC. They had the $20 sale sign up for them,but it rang up at $60. Supervisor did the price adjustment down to $10. HELL YEAH,SCORE !!!

They still have 2 left. Thanks TC.

[jacknicklson]

Awesome, thanks! Picked up the last 2 today in Union. NJ. The guy said someone came in and picked up 8 or so yesterday. I can't imagine it was a fellow CAGer;)

[joshnorm]

I guess its worth Checking out. Doubtful that CC will have anymore but who knows CC is awful

[GodfatherX]

3 local stores in louisville have them in stock, didnt have time to see if i could get the deal, will try tom, but i feel its too late

[ikaden]

When did you go? I went at lunch time and didn't see any of them. I didn't even see a spot for them. I looked in the PSP section and the camera section.

[daruler022]

There on the other side of the blue ones. This is the Beaver Creek CC in Apex not Cary. Sorry about the mix up.

I went at 4pm.

[vlv723]

No dice when I went to West Covina..."sold the last one this morning"...sigh

I just went to the one in Bloomingdale,IL. and both were ringing out at regular price. They had a ton in stock....one was 99.99 and the other was 59.99.

[jazzman]

Picked up 4 @ Rancho Santa Marguerita, ordered two online last night for instore pickup. Once I arrived there I noticed that they still had the $20 tags up, so they readjusted my online purchase plus I bought two more for $20. But the icing on the cake was Wario Smooth Moves for the Wii for only $20. :hot: Definitely, worth the 25 minute drive from Newport.

BTW, as of 11am they still had four left of the memory stick behind the counter and zero of the Wario's. Even had a chance to walk across to Target and purchase a copy of GOW2.

[asthmatic]

Just picked up four at Norwalk, CA. They still had about 6 left; couldn't locate the $15 coupon. Does anybody know if this is a YMMV or is it an actual Sale? Guess we'll find out tomorrow when more people try to pick them up. UnFreakinBelievable. I was almost sad that I didn't pick one up on BF for $35.

Thanks OP, BigTyme!

BTW - I bought both packaging, OPs and the other one pictured.

thanks i bought the last one an hour later. but it wasnt easy...

i went in, asked if they could check stock on the sku and the girl instead leads me to their memory stick section where the regular blue ones are (the camera stuff) i ask her if theres a gaming memory card spot and she leads me to the last pair of these in a plastic container in the PS3 section. She's like we have these (in reference to the red transparent ones) but the ones i just showed you (the blue ones) are on sale for cheaper. I just keep telling her to check the price because i want the gaming version and eventually she does it going "oh its actually $20", then she checks the price over and over again to make sure its for real and another girl employee suddenly takes interest and says "$20?? for a 4 gig?". This other employee starts ringing me up and is scanning and scanning the MS and nothings happening. Finally she gets the one that initially helped me, they both get back to the customer service desk and shes scanning it and suddenly theyre all on "hold" explaining that when the inventory says zero and theres a hold that theyre for instore pickup customers. She kept saying alternatives like "i can check another store" (of course she looks and no other store has them) or "i can get you the other 4GB..... for $60". I argue for a minute or two that this doesnt really make sense im here right now, but just leave because the store was closing in 10 minutes and i decided in christmasy spirit or some horseshit that i would let this one go

If i had realized that what they were doing is refusing to sell me a product on their store shelves (this was NOT from the back) i probably would have gotten it with a talk to the manager but whatever. They had 4 memory sticks on hold, so whichever CAGers are in San Jose area it looks like you won due to circuit city's stupid policy.

That happened to me too, but i put my foot down. I asked, "How is this sold already if im holding it in my hand?"

[eastx]

I would like to buy 3 of these. I'll buy 'em individually if needed. Anybody with extras, please PM me.

[TwoThrones]

I would like to buy 1 as well. PM me, please. Thanks.

[phattsoe]

yeah, i wish i could have got one. showed up at a noon to pick up the order i had last night, but like everyone said, the price mistake was fixed. no way i was paying $60 a pop. i should have gone last night... damn... i needed one of these too.

[minos1067]

WOW! there sure are alot of these on eBay now.

[tightclaws]

WOW! there sure are alot of these on eBay now.

Yeah I looked earlier today and there was one now I see a ton of them, I love how people are going to abuse things and make money off CC its very amusing. I'm keeping both of the ones I bought I figure I can get a few hundred cds on EACH bam I have my portable music player which I decode MP3s in higher bit rate then the ones you get online I will try the 320 k bit and see, but I think 192 will be fine.

[JP]

I had thought about putting mine on eBay or even taking them to Gamestop, but i have about 60 UMD games, and now I can almost put all of them on memory sticks so I don't have to carry all the UMD's with me all the time. Now I just need like 10 more to fit all of the PSP movies I bought when they were 4-5 dollars a pop.

[cyd007]

I picked up one, and it rang up for $60 also. I showed the price tags to the cashier, and she immediately took them down. But she adjusted the price of mine to $20, so it's alright :p

how do you move the games to the memory stick??

i got one extra i probally run to Eb games and see what they give. would loved to dump it on ebay but they only fetched like 10 bucks

[channy]

No go for me, I ordered online for pickup at the Huntington Beach store. Got there, no tags or anything in fact, they couldn't find my memory stick. Took about 20 minutes, so they gave me a $24 giftcard. It rang up as $57, I'll return it later.

[ShonnyG112]

I'm gonna have my ex-girlfriend go by CC tomorow and check for me.

[slidecage]

lol tossed one up on ebay to see if anyone will bite just for the fun of it.

put an insane price of like 45 shipped. Doubt it will sell but hell might as well try

Picked up 2.

1 of them im going to use (in my psp right now)

other one if it dont sell on ebay i probally toss it to someone here or put it back for my PS3 that i hope to get sometime in 2008

[thedoddest]

the glitch is fixed, they must have been taking off 40 dollars online and instore on accident.
whatever happened its fixed and i just wasted about an hour and a half.
If anybody wants to sell one for 30 ill buy it.

[CougarKid]

So this deal is pretty much dead? Too bad I missed out on this one.

[J7.]

I went right after work today, rushed like a maniac. Got there, tons left, they ring up to $58. Was goddamn shagF'n pissed off to hell, considering the goddamn day I had. FCC, not FCC, F-CC!

[JP]

You have to dump the UMD ISO, then you can compress it on your computer, then transfer it back to your memory stick. Depending upon on what CFW you have, it takes different methods.

[TEHJOE]

If anyone has an extra one, please pm me.

[B.K.]

I was going to get one today too, but didn't when it came up as $59 at the register. Too bad. I was wanting to get one.

[ndcurtis]

:cry: I missed this deal by mere minutes, I got there just as they were taking down their flags.

[Brian9824]

If anyone has any extra cml. My store was sold out and i just need 1 for some PS1 games on my psp.

[adamsappel]

I bought two at around 9:00 pm. She must have sold some earlier at the lower price, because I saw her hesitate when she saw the scanned price. I told her it was supposed to be $19.99 and she adjusted it. No wonder there were so many 1GB sticks there. I knew, because I would do it also, that there must be some of the 4GBs hidden away. I found them in the middle of a big stack.

[RelentlessRolento]

CML as I want one. I have a few Black Friday coupon books from EB/GS that may be enticing for this.

[SleazyC]

So is it safe to assume that if I ordered for instore pickup and couldn't make it to the store due to classes + bad weather then I should just cancel my order?

I ordered last night but the price charged was $64.

[boihookantsbell]

Argh missed it. thanks though cag!

[janizzzle]

went to the cc here in LA (la cienega) didnt have any unfortunately. man missed out on such a good deal

[jling84]

Picked up the last one at the West Covina CC yesterday. The guy who checked the price for me didn't look like he wanted to hand it back to me since he said he wanted it for himself.

[arthurRWD]

Still have 4 to sell for $33 shipped

[toneroni]

Anyone have an extra, please PM me. have paypal waiting!

[iamthekiller]

[roymustang]

Wow I'm shocked, you who's so righteous and ethical (see: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162234) put PS1 games on your PSP?

[0100]

I will take one, this is perfect for my bro who is going overseas. Just pm'ed you.

[Timba111]

I went and they had tons, but they rang up at normal price. Phooey.

[v0yce]

Just got this deal an hour ago.

My store still had them stickered $20 and they also rang up $20.

So its still worth a trip.

[slidecage]

wonders if these would go for 40 shipped HEH HEH i got 1 if they would ever go that high or trade for few games?

though i might just keep it as a back up back up,.

[CaoPi]

sucks to hear it's dead at some locations I stopped by my local one, none were in stock...

[Wario64]

circuitcity.com magically has these in stock now according to the store locator. of course it has to happen after they fix the glitch

[Brian9824]

Wow I'm shocked, you who's so righteous and ethical (see: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162234) put PS1 games on your PSP?

Yeah because its so illegal to emulate games you own:roll:

Want to stick that foot a little deeper now?

[wildnuts02]

i've seen reports that this deal is alive again.

if you happen to be going to a CC anyway, it might be worth looking into.

[phattsoe]

really? alive as in it scans at the register for $20? or is it only alive if there are $20 tags on them (or $20 on the rack)? i really wish i could have gotten one for my lil bro and cousin. my trip through traffic to try to pick one up yesterday was less than fruitful... wildnuts02 - what're your reports? the posters above?

[iamthekiller]

alive again would indicate that it died and then worked again. it's that some people are still finding the $20 tag on the shelf and getting the price adjusted

[EvilIA]

I just got back form CC around here. They only had one and the shelf price showed $100. BUt I asked the cashier to scan it, it said $20.00. So I scored one. Thanks for the information OP.

Going on vacation wanted another 4gb for movies for the kids.

[heatdolphins45]

damn and I just drove past Circuit City today, and I made my friend go yesterday...oh well. I'll check it out tomorrow then if it's still alive.

[phattsoe]

man, if it works again, that'd be sweet... but i dunno if i wanna risk seeing it at $59.99 again...
