Just spotted in the current Myer sale catalogue that you can nab a Toshiba 2GB U3 flash drive for just $29. Sale started yesterday and runs to June 17, though I get the feeling these would have been very limited supply. So if you want, you better hop to it fast.
UPDATE: Add 1GB for $19, and 4GB for $69 to that.
It’s quite a good general tech sale, actually, under the ‘tax time deals’ monniker.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 1:23 PMOK, went to Myers Melbourne store and they were out of 2GB and hadn’t had any 4GB in yet. Are expecting some either Tue or Wed next week.
Went to Harvey Norman in QV. Only had LG brand 4GB for $129 or something and 2GB were $42. Store assistant said new catalog coming out tomorrow and could only say the 1GB was going to be like $14. He did look surprised when i mentioned the Myers price.
Considering Myers price of $19 maybe oilgisnoc has the price for the new catalog coming out tomorrow.
Will check for the HN catalog online tomorrow and/or give them a call.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 2:33 PMYeah, right now just about every major brand is flushing out some of their stock with a June special of some kind. Alot of of these types of deals should come on line before the weekend. Many of the major brands or electrical importers have way too much stock and they are getting a bit nervous.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 4:34 PMthe price i saw was from the factory outlet store. so i dont no if they advertise in the regular catalog, or have the same products as the other HN stores. but they were brand new n had five yr warranty.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 11:17 PMnowadays i get 256MB USBs like water. whenever i go to a PR event, they have all the images and press releases on a USB for you to take home. not exactly a ‘gift’, because you’d never really use it day to day anymore. funny how quickly the standards shift upward. :-)
