No longer on sale I guess. The rebate ends today.

I got in on this the morning of. Unfortunately, it was a one day only deal. slickdeals.net always posts micro SD deals so if you're in the market for one (and in the U.S.) thats the place to check.

Thanks for posting it though.

I also check techbargains.com sometimes... Which is also useful if you want a Wii or PS3. They have a store checker that checks to see if any are in stock... and it says that Gamestop has Wiis now. Of course, I checked a few minutes ago, so the Wiis are most likely gone by now XD.

how do u guys know if the tf card was made in taiwan or japan? the two cards are quite different in terms of quality.

 

[Farami9]

Well doen't it say so on the card itself (very small print). I would probaly go by price....

but before u buy it, do u have any ways to know?

 

[Farami9]

Well, this is where you have to ask the retailer. Lots of retailers (that are online) specify where their cart is made. Though this is mainly the case japanese made cart sellers as they can bump up the price...

I would ask and then hold they to their word...

If you can get a card for $3 you cant go wrong unless it does not work at all

 

[thegame07]

yeah its that cheap i would not care if it was a fake or not

 

[Devante]

It's Japanese.

 

[wuka]

Of course they could also loose your rebate. They "accidentally" do that all the time...

This was a kingston rebate. They're top notch in rebates and they're very quick about it. But thats not the point...

I'm sure theres got to be a way to tell the difference from the packaging, I do not have my packaging any more so I cant check it myself...
