1 GB CompactFlash for $249.99!
Sweet Mother of Memory! 8O We've known about these 1 GB cards for a while now, but the last time I checked prices were up in the $600 to $800 range. 1 GB for $269.00 US? And only $249 if you sign up for free as a State Street Direct member? Amazing! I don't know how long they'll have stock at this price since this is flying around the 'Net rapidly, so act fast!

Nuts! I know that my wife wouldn't ok buying this without her direct "ok" following a long talk of "Why do you *need* this hunny?"
Sigh... hopefully this shows the beginning of a trend. (And to think, I was going to look for a 512MB CF in 3 short weeks.)

Actually, if you became a member, the price drops to $249.95!!
Too bad I'm broke this week. I'm sure that when I get the money, the price will go up again.

:way to go:
I just ordered mine. Hooray for payday!!! I was just complaining about how quickly I filled up my 256MB CF card (mostly Audible books and MP3s).
And I love the additional $20 off if you register (free) for the "Member's Pricing" option.
Thanks for a great find

D'oh... there are times being broke stinks. Ah well, tis a fair price to pay for being a lazy bum. 
For now I'm still doing A-ok with my 128 CF. 8)
Seriously though, as truly awesome as 1gb of memory would be to have... I still have trouble playing $250 for memory. I'm starting to wonder if I'm alone in this. I mean, unless you have something major to store other than just more music than you could ever hear or a lot of movies... Eh, who knows. If I had $250 sitting around I'd jump at this so I guess I can't really talk. Think if you'd paid $600 for this. :?

I have problem paying $250 for a memory too. I normally wait til it drops to around 100 mark.
