Not bad for a 19 dollar memory stick, huh???

P.S. I formatted to FAT 16, and had 3 large games on it when I did the test, so it was 3.70 gigs full

P.P.S. AND it came with an adapter for my computer, none of my other memory sticks did (Sandisk 4 gb and Sandisk Ultra II 4 gb)

 

I know, thanks IB! I know you aren't the first one to try this, but you are the one that got my attention about it! I'm pretty sure it's FAT 16, it even says so when I plug it into the comp. I'll retry the format again later, just in case.

 

Cool, thanks IB. Szyslak is right, the sale is still going on. I'm not sure why some people see it as being over, as I dont see that.

 

It appears so Tortimer. At least it is AS good as the rest, and less than half the price if you live in the U.S.

 

CorruptJohn, I just now sent out the paperwork, but it says it can take up to 8 weeks. So most likely if you need the money now, this may not be the best deal for some.


Tortimer, the Sandisk Ultra II's are great too, it sounds like your set.

 

That sucks Layzieyez, you still got a good deal though, right?

 

Cool, it's a great stick, you really can't beat that price. It sucks having to wait for the rebate check though

 

Yeah, exactly. I made copies of everything too, but I didn't mark my calendar. Good idea, I will do that now!
