What do you think the best places will be for these?

The compusmart 512M usb would be exactly what i'm looking for, but the rebate is a pain in the butt.

Does anybody recall any particularly good deals on memory like this? From what I recall the sales (FS/BB/LD) weren't that great last year - maybe 10% off on items like these...

TD currently has a 512mb Viking USB 2.0 flash drive for $41 without a MIR and a PNY 1GB drive for $71 with a MIR. Maybe they'll have a BD special but those aren't shabby deals.

thanks! i'll keep my eyes peeled.

I can't decide which is worse though, the shipping from TD or the manufacturer's rebate!

Are you in the GTA? Look around your local stores and you can probably find good deals. I recently saw a 512mb Kingston drive for $34 on one of these threads.

Hehe, just so you know, you're not the only one eyeing that Memorex 512MB flash drive from CompuSmart. ;)

For those of us in the GTA - Factory Direct (even though everybody hates 'em) usually has flash memory (CF & SD) and thumb drives on sale cheap on Boxing Day.

Last year I got a 256 meg thumb drive for $19.95 (Dane Electric brand).

They've currently got a 1GB Dane Electric drive for $70 after a $15 MIR.
