...I was actually going to recommend buy.com in the "tiny discs" thread, but they rarely beat newegg.com for a lot of stuff. Well, they've actually got an awesome deal right now.

http://www.buy.com/prod/Kingston_2GB_Secure_Digital_Card_SD/q/loc/101/202743332.html

2GB Kingston SD card for $30 - with a 5$ rebate....oh, and $10 off if you use Google Checkout. That brings it to $15 with the rebate, and only $20 without. You can also get free shipping (budget 7-9 days). I just placed an order, I recommend anyone looking for an SD card to do exactly the same.

Ha, I was about to post this, beat me to the punch. Obviously took advantage of it, it's a steal. slickdeals.net kicks arse.

Worth noting: a couple months ago, I got a new 80gb harddrive for the same price. Flash still has a ways to go yet...

Link doesn't work. I think I might try that Kingston thing though.

Dunno what was wrong with that but copy/paste should work.

BiLdItUp1 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 21, 2006, 12:49:49 PM »

But even before the rebate, the slickdeals one is a better deal because of google check out. Doubling memory for $6 is worth it, and after rebate the difference become negligible.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #6 on:** November 22, 2006, 03:38:21 AM »

2GB = 2x1GB. Also, you're going to get trampled if you even look at a Wal-Mart on Friday.

My Wii can't read my memory card, its SD and theres a ton of pics on it. Has anyone else found thier memory cards don't work?

I wonder if you have to have those Nintendo brand ones that they were talking about a few days ago. That would suck if you could only use thier memory cards and nothing else.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #9 on:** November 22, 2006, 04:54:28 AM »

Brand should not matter, unless yours is totally generic or your camera doesn't take .jpg or .jpeg files.

ryancoke · « **Reply #10 on:** November 22, 2006, 04:56:49 AM »

I used a sandisk microSD card with SD adapter from my cellphone and it worked great. Pictures & MP3s worked.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2006, 05:01:46 AM »

No Its a pretty good camera and the Sd card is Sandisk. It works on my freinds cell phone and every camera I have ahd to put int into. But my Wii says some error message and won't accept it. I will have to keep trying I guess or call Nintendo and say whats up.

What the heck is Google Checkout and what does it do besides save me $10?

segagamer12 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2006, 06:24:34 AM »

dude goto www.ratscollectibles.com and click on the Amazon.com search bar and you save money everytime. Its a really cool deal. Make it your homepage and use it everytime you shop amazon.

It doesnt work for Google cuz their publishing deals suck ballz and I cant get good deals with them.

Naw, i just bought a Sandisk 2 Gb SD card for 29.99 and free shipping over at bestbuy online. beats buying a cheap kind that a Wii most likely wont reconize it and over at tigerdirect i also bought a 6 in one media card reader for.............99cents . i think i made a bargain buying both...

Ok so I figured out why mine isnt working. Its not an SD card its an MMC card.

Rocketsastrostexans · « **Reply #18 on:** November 23, 2006, 10:25:23 PM »

Will it ever be possible for the Wii to accept SD cards larger than 2GB?

Rhoq · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2006, 12:17:12 AM »

Even though I already used it... this is in the TOS and concerns me:

"You authorize us to confirm that your Payment Instrument is in good standing with the issuing financial institution, including, but not limited to, by submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low dollar credit and/or debit to the Payment Instrument, in accordance with the relevant card association rules. You also authorize us to obtain from time to time a credit report and/or to otherwise make credit or other background inquiries as we deem appropriate to evaluate your registration for or continued use of the Service"

Don't they need a SSN to run that? Hasn't the CC run the check already, why would they have to run additional ones?

Seems like you only get the $20 from Google Checkout if the order is over $50. Am I missing something? I'm only seeing a final price of around $30.

I assume you're looking at the Kingston 2GB SD Card.

You get $20 off for Google checkout because the price is $54.86. Then you get another $21 off for mail-in rebates. So the effective final price is $13.86.

If you look right below where you're currently looking you'll see the Google logo and it will show you the price of $13.86.

Here are instructions on how to use Google Checkout.
