I was searching for a good retail deal on the 256 MB Sandisk when I came across this at CompUsa:

I took the printout to Circuit City and they price-matched it (+10% off). The rep told me that the memory card they carry at Circuit City is not the same as the one on sale at CompUsa. The CompUsa part number is: SDSDB-256-768 and the Circuit City part number is: SDSDB-256-800. I'm assuming that the SD card Circuit City carries is from a later batch than the one CompUsa is selling. I believe that why the card was $99 at Circuit City.

I will post more about mfg. number differences in the hardware forum.

Anyway.... I got the card at Circuit City for $74 after they price-matched it. It's working great so far so hopefully this batch of Sandisks does not have the same issues that have been discussed here.
