THIS IS IN-STORE ONLY:
IIRC, Staples has it for 80
London Drugs has it for 50 in the new flyer.
After PM ~$35

I don't think it's on the Staples website
That seems pretty cheap for a neat little device like this, esp. without rebates.

Reviews are fairly split down the middle, lots of trashing but the more recent ones suggest better success after much toil.

It seems that the only differences between this and your sound card's line-in are the software for reducing noise and the portability of the unit, although the market for people with both analog music devices and computers with no sound inputs must be pretty limited thus making the second advantage somewhat questionable.

I just got back from Staples....price match worked...$35 + tax.
Nifty little machine as it also has an optical input and an optical output...plus is fully OSX compatible!!!
