Ok price but what's the use of a 4gb card? Kinda small? 16gb is under $20 without sale or clearance makes a lot more sense.

even noobs are flaming. my goodness.

maybe I can explain this.

For the price you can get 6 4GB cards that can be used in 6 different devices, or sequentially in 1 device, or can be used to back up your 4gb of very important stuff 5x, or use one yourself and share with 5 other friends, or use 1 and keep five for back up, or use 2 and 4 as back up, or use 3 or 3 as backup, or, well you get the point.

aw, fuhgedaboudit. Why get a 16GB? Why not get a 3TB desktop external drive? Or better, a 4 bay nas with 3TB drivers, or even better, contract out 50TB of space on a cloud or better yet..

i'm done. :)

YMMW BIG TIME INDEED!!!

Thanks for your posting but here is why the FS/BB PM opportunity is pointless.

First of all, FS/BB will find any way possible NOT to apply their PM policy instore/online as it has been proven many, many times on various RFD threads.

Second, FS/BB GENERALLY (YMMW) DOES NOT NOT APPLY THEIR PM POLICY TO PRICES FROM OTHER ONLINE-ONLY MERCHANTS..the reason..THE SHIPPING FEES!!!

The reasoning is as follows:

WHY WOULD FS/BB APPLY INSTORE THEIR PM POLICY TO MATCH THE PRICE OF THE OTHER ONLINE-ONLY MERCHANTS WHEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONNAL SHIPPING FEES TO BUY THE SAID PRODUCT!

'NUFF SAID

ANY COMMENTS?

Ok... but NCIX and Infonec has stores in Ontario and Mike's in BC, and they only have it for $1 more... so $4. ($1/gb, not bad)

Again..it all comes back to...YMMW BIG TIME...your reasoning may only apply to the province where the said merchant is present on the retail market..in this case BC.
But if you try the PM strategy at a local FS/BB in ON or QC you'll get nowhere.

Last time I tried to PM NCIX at BB they give me this spiel about how NCIX has a different return policy therefore they don't price match them. This was at the Lansdowne BestBuy in Richmond. So really YMMV on this deal.

lol, they're just trying to fool gullible newbie pricematchers or maybe just dumb csr's... they have all the right to pricematch NCIX or any retail location in the same province. Just it may not be worth the effort for some, depending on how much you need an item.
