Don't buy anything here!
I needed a new memory card, and wanted a 512MB compact flash card. I knew Disney would sell them, but wanted to see if I could get it cheaper elsewhere. I hadn't been organised enough to take a list and directions for Circuit City and Best Buys with me :slapme: and we couldn't find any anywhere in the dark.
Only place I knew of was Sony shop at Crossroads shopping centre, so we called there on the way back from Premium Outlets one night.
There were two salesmen and a security guard so it was a bit off-putting. They didn't have any 512 but could offer me a 256 for $80 :eek:
"What?!!!" I said :eek: :eek: :eek: $80 for a 256??? I wouldn't expect to pay that for a 512. I told them I could get a 512 for about £30 ($50) in the UK and had looked at US websites before I left and seen them for about the same price.
He offered me a 256 for $50 but that was still overpriced IMO, so I made a hasty retreat.
I found a 256MB (no 512 in stock) at the camera shop at MGM the next day for just under $50. The same price the guy at Sony had eventually dropped it to, and still overpriced but I needed the card :shrug:
I've just checked and amazon.com have the 512MB CF card for $49.88.
So if you think you may need extra memory cards either buy them beforehand or take directions for Circuit City and Best Buy with you :lol:
