8GB - amazing that these sticks now hold more than a DVD.

Good price including free P+P   :)

Makes it much easier for Government Officials to lose a lot more of our personal info in one move.  :lol:

Fantastic Deal.  - Thanks - unless someone else comes up with a better deal..  thats just sorted part of my Bro's xmas pressie. :)





Talking of Memory Sticks and the prices coming down...  Hows this for a blast to the past.?

Exactly 5 years ago (I remember the date because its Chris's birthday today), (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emotionless.co.uk%2Femotes%2Fcel%2Fbirthday3.gif&hash=47330d14eb261f4df60ca6b9d72247ca3f586cb6)
I bought a 128MB Medion USB Memory Stick on one of the Aldi Specials for what I thought was then an excellent price of £29.99.    :lol:

16GB flash drive for £15.99 @Play.com

I have this drive, along with its 4GB predecessor for Vista Readyboost.

16gb is great for Movies etc with loads of room for files ...

Comparing the prices of 16GB at £15.99p and the 128MB at £29.99 from five years ago.

At the old Aldi price, the 16GB would have cost about £2,046 - 72p

At the new price, the 128MB would cost £0 - 23p

Just to make Kitz realise what a bargain she got!  >:D

I actually ordered a couple of them in the end..  easier than traipsing around the stores for hours never knowing what to get someone for xmas :)

what annoyed me this week is Amazon.co.uk!

My Mum wants Mamma Mia for Christmas so I though I would buy it. I was looking around Amazon last week around Thursday and saw it for £7.99...Thought I would leave it till Friday and order it then.

Looked on Friday...£12.99  :'( I was kicking myself!

Luckily went to ASDA and got it for £7   ;D

Yes I already have one, but I paid about £16 for mine a while back from Play.com as I mentioned in a previous post.

Although at that price I have ordered one for my Dad as a christmas present.

Just noticed that the Sandisk 16GB flash drive is now £16.99. >:(

It seems Play.com is getting a bit of a reputation at constantly dropping then increasing prices within a couple of days.
My only advice is to 'srike while the irons hot' so to speak
