Similar to this, but $1 cheaper: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/41580
Yep anything under 16Gb is pretty much around the $1/Gb price point, anything more than that is no bargain.
Free shipping to consider, this isn't BAD… it's just not anything special.
Unless you live within walking distance to these shops. I'd call it a bargain after taking into consideration transport costs, ie train/bus fares or petrol.
They have the same thing at Harvey Norman I think. The one in Broadmeadows (Melb).
Agreed. We recently bought some 8 GB USB sticks for under $7 @ OfficeWorks.
These vendors have clearly forgotten Moore's Law.
In store special I assume?
Actually, those 8 GB USB sticks were $5.91 each
I think I just saw some others' 8 GB sticks for $8 each.
PS I grant that anyone living in the bush or remotely would find this Deal's offering good value. For them, it would be a Deal.
Bah, USB 3.0 sticks are the way to go nowadays.
Even if you don't have USB 2 ports on your computer, USB 3.0 sticks are still noticeably faster.
got any cheap ones I could buy?
I have started my USB3.0 collection with the staples Hard Drive
now looking for a cheap-ass USB stick 4GB+
The smallest USB 3.0 drive you can find are 8 gig ones, and they cost upwards of $20.
There are no USB 3.0 drives I can see on Static Ice that are 4GB.
The cheapest one so far is the A-RAM TRX 200 series:

Prices:
8GB - Less then $19
16GB - Less than $30
32GB - About $50 (I bought mine for $56 shipped from Catch of the Day)
Got this stick at Clive Peeters for $3 a couple of weeks ago.
8GB going for $1 more at Harvey Norman.
can I neg because no hot asian chicks mentioned in the post?
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/40962 need I post this for those unknown!
Still about $3 cheaper than OW for the same drive.
Plus 1 for being a compact size stick that fits nicely in a car stereo at a good price. c'mon people, you should know by now you pay more for compact tech items (like portable hdd) some trigger-happy negos here
who you calling a nig…. oh wait…
Freudian slip there?
Not a bargain just normal price for 4GB. I bought a 4GB from HN for $5 sometime ago.
