My guess would be brick and mortar store price of $79.99 by Christmas, online auction (buy now price) of $60 by the same time. It seems memory starts dropping in price within a month of release these days, with the odd bounce back up... but there are always many alternative sellers to go to.
As for the 'will you buy this one' question, nah. Once bitten, twice shy, the old saw goes. I've twice lost data thanks to two different capacity Sandisk SD cards, and will certainly not be buying memory from that company again. The only other card which has failed for me was a 64MB Lexar CF card, and to be fair, I worked that poor thing hard with a LOT of file swapping and card swapping (for modems, camera cards, other memory cards) over 3 years in several differenct Pocket PCs. I don't think the actual memory was even corrupted, just the pin interface, which gradually died over a few months, more and more often failing to be recognised. I've used a number of Patriot and Transcend SD and miniSD cards since, and none of these has ever caused so much as a hiccough.
