lol, Taking a page from my book I see. That's what I did with the reminder to send in your rebate thread. :P

[utahjazz85]

I don't even see the 10% discount there.

[jedix]

Yea, actually you did give me the idea. Now it will be listed at the top again.

[Ericknextel]

Thanks for the info...good deal, I just ordered 2 of em. I figured why not get 2 of em and save a few bucks on the shipping....

Can't have too many 128 sticks when that is as high as I can go with my t-665c :)

[Jake K]

I ordered one the other day and they should be at my place in Washington cause I couldn't get it shipped to Canada! Oh well, it's an awesome deal. They say it will be there on the 29th.

[cliemaniac]

You have to add to your cart to see the 10% discount. I'm addicted to DevsDeals!!

[jedix]

Isn't Devdeals the greatest?! I also like techbargains.com

[[Jett]-Mallize]

lol.. i ordered 2 this morning... when i got home.. i went back to dell's site.. and the item can no longer be found. i guess they sold out.

I hope those who ordered the Lexar MS don't have the problems many have experienced and discussed on other threads! :eek: I've seen enough to make me leary of them!

[wellsjs]

Saw this at Techbargains:Chuck E Tokens, Jan 25
Chuck E Cheese is giving 28 free tokens with a large pizza. (Thanks Fonz)Yea, I guess pizza is essential gear for technogeeks! :D :D

Me too! I've had a Lexar 128 mb for awhile now, and have not had a single problem, lucky me! Good luck, everyone!

Yes, but you have to put up with Chuck E. Cheese! :eek:
Seriously, my oldest son loves it there, but it's always like a zoo without cages. I'm afraid I'll get run over by the wee ones, let alone who will run over my son!

[[Jett]-Mallize]

ok.. i got my sticks in but.... they are not the right ones... they are not the translucient ones. i really don't care about that, but the trans. were the ones with the $20 rebate. however.. dell does not have the rebate form on their website... i got each stick for $50, which is okay, but i was hoping for the $30.... anyways.. the dell site no longer lists the product. ;(

and support sux.. i spent 2 hours on the phone w/ dell... no answers...

[jeffrey]

I got essentially the same deal from Dell. $55 - $20 rebate + free shipping.

Jeff

[[Jett]-Mallize]

did u actually get the rebate? i just got mine in the mail today... but there are no rebate forms on their site. not only that.. but they sent me the wrong sticks..... :(

[jedix]

If you follow my original link on this thread to devdeals, http://devsdeals.com/article.php?sid=3468
you will see it says "128MB Lexar Memory Stick $31 at Dell Home"
when I click on the highlighted words "$20 rebate" it brings the rebate up for me to print out. Does this help? BTW, a lot of times Dell shows a picture of the tranlucent MS, but never mention that it is the translucent one. A little bit of false advertising, but the stick still works!

[jimroad]

Comp USA has a bunch of 128's for like 49 bucks.

[[Jett]-Mallize]

jedix.. THANK YOU!!! i didn't even click that link.. i just assumed it would be easy to find on the dell site... but apparently there isn't a link anymore.

jimroad, the sticks from dell come to $31 a piece ;)

[jedix]

I'm glad I could help. I was getting worried that there was a problem. Pheew!

[MikeD]

I couldn't find the 128 mb lexar stick on Dells site...

[Jake K]

I got my 128 mb Lexar stick yesterday after only 6 days. I'm suprised it came so fast, even with free shipping. I love this stick. I never knew how handy an mp3 player would be till I started to play my own tunes.

[Antipod]

I was able to download the rebate form from devseals.com. However, the stick is no longer available from DELL. I am wondering if the $20 rebate will work if I buy the stick from BUY.COM (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10326541&loc=101) ?? The rebate on BUY.COM is only $15, but it used to be $20 just a few days ago...

[Jake K]

Buy it from amazon.com. It has a $20 rebate and free shipping.

[[Jett]-Mallize]

dell is out of the sticks... at least the ones they advertised with the rebate. i actually got my sticks in 4 business days... stretched across a weekend... i was surprised too...

the MP3 player is a lot more fun now... i can fit about 4 CDs recorded at CD-Quality per stick... i didn't like the 96kbps... it sounded choppy...

it was funny though... i had only one stick before i ordered two from dell... and my wife was going to play bejewled(which is on my old MS) and she got mad at me because she thought i deleted it.. hehe... i told her how to switch sticks.... ;)

[Experiment 626]

Dell site mentioned above: Lexmar 128 MB Memory Sticks on Dell site are no longer listed.

Buy.com is offering a $15 rebate for total of: $36.99 with free shipping

Amazon.com is offering a $20 rebate for total of: $39.95 with free shipping.
Amazon.com also offers (What I consider spooky) used sticks for $9.95 cheaper.

I'm loading up Buy.com right now to order (payday and I'm doing it before my wife finds out.. cring).

$54.94 slapped on my debit card just now at Buy.com
$15.00 rebate printed out and ready to send in when I get it.
---------
$39.94 total family long term budget impact.

That, coupled with the USB cradle I just ordered from sony.com for $36.88.. oh heavens.. I think my wife is gunna put me in the dog-house for a month! That 8 hours of overtime Monday just became esential and not optional. Hee.

[Experiment 626]

Dell.com's $20 rebate form....

Buy.com's $15 rebate form....

All the same stats, UPC Code, etc. You think it'd be possible to mail Lexmar the $20 rebate with the copy of the Buy.com receipt and copy of the UPC off the box? Or you think they'd slap me around for even try'n it? :D

[bigpoppashome]

Anyone know when the 256 memory stick will be available?

Any news on better memory, and what about the lexar memory that "light up" as advertised on the site, the smoke (grey ) color stick.....

thoughts?

[Experiment 626]

OUCH!!

I'm in the DOG HOUSE in a tremendous way. I haven't been this bad in the bad since.. well.. I don't rightly remember.. oh yeah I do.. that time she woke me up and.. well.. nevermind that, kids might be reading this.

The only silver lining now is that the cradle and 128 MS is being shipped as I live in this purgatory. Hee.

[jedix]

Well, atleast you will have your gadgets to keep you company in purgatory! Sorry to hear your in the dog house. All I can say is, better you than me!

You'd think you would learn about buying her gifts at the same time you buy yourself something:D

[clieconverted]

You should always know to keep a spare gift handy.

[pigburger]

I bought the Lexar 128 at buy.com and sent in both a $20 MIR and a $15 MIR. I should know in 6 to 8 weeks if I got my MS for $20. I didn't bother telling the wife, no need to wake that sleeping giant.

626, try this rebate too, it's listed at the buy.com website too. I can't hurt.

:eek:

[pigburger]

My house is a little stressed, my two year old has some type of bug and has been feeling crappy all week. No need to tell you how that can throw everything off. He actually threw up on me midpost.

[jedix]

Another :eek:

I know what its like, man. I have a 4 1/2 year old and a 16 month old. The older one is just getting over being sick and the little one is sick right now. Uugghh!

[pigburger]

He just kicked me out of my chair and made me get his Percy DVD. It's amazing how a gross illness doesn't get them. I gave him the disc and off he goes upstairs to watch it with my wife. Of course he was upstairs with his mother when he came downstairs just to throw up on me. Fatherhood.....

[MikeD]

So are there any good deals on 128 mb sticks anymore?

[jedix]

Well, here i sit at 215 am with my youngest on my lap with a 103 fever0.

Buy.com has a Lexar 128MB for $55, with handling and tax it came to aboout $60. There is a buy.com only $15 rebate floating around and then another $20 rebate for "participating dealers only" that I found hidden on the buy.com website. If all goes well final cost is $25, but you have to wait 6-8 weeks to see if it works.

It's 8:30 in the morning here and I am on my second case of baby mud, if you catch my meaning, and the wife is now sick too...

[jedix]

I feel bad for you man! I really do!

BTW, OfficeMax's ad for this coming week has specials on the transparent memory sticks. I think the 128 mb is 49.99, no rebate needed. Now, that's not the cheapest, but you can go to the store, pick it up at a good price, and dont need to worry about a mail in rebate.

[pigburger]

I appreciate it man, though both are feeling a little better and I plan on tossing one back with my avatar soon.

Walk out price is very important, $50 with no rebates isn't bad at all.

[foghorn]

I was going to use the rebate at the link posted by pigburger but then I read the fine print.

"Fraudulent submissions of multiple requests could result in federal persecution under U.S. Mail Fraud Statutes"

I didn't intend to make a fraudulent submission, but with the possibility of "federal persecution" who wants to take a chance. I mean possible federal prosecution would be bad enough. No way am I taking a chance on persecution. Does anyone know what federal agency actually performs the persecution? It might be an interesting job.

:D

[pigburger]

I get persecuted allot, so I'm used to it. The big thing is, it's not fraudulent, it's 2 seperate rebates, they just don't mention them both on the site, but they are both valid. Fraudulent would be altering reciept in order to resubmit. That would be wrong and deserving of persecution....

[foghorn]

I didn't mean to suggest submitting the two rebates was fraudulent. I was just sarcastically making fun of the wording on the rebate.

[pigburger]

so persecute me.....

[Experiment 626]

Buy.com's UPS tracking number says my 128 MB MS should be arriving tomarrow. I ordered it Friday and it's supposed to arrive Monday. Not bad. I'm glad I choose the FREE shipping 14-21 days if all it took was 1 business day anyway. Hee.

On another note.. buy.com had the $15.00 rebate, the other site mentioned at the $20.00 rebate. When you send in the rebate you fill out the back of the rebate with your name/address, etc. I'm just going to fill out both of them and expect only one rebate, probably the $20 rebate.

The rebate gets mail'd to Sony and sony doesn't care if it was from circuit city or buy.com or whereever I don't think. They're just going to validate you bought the item in the proper time period, the UPC code and receipt shows a valid purchase and then hold up to their agreement on the rebate. I'm tempted not to even send in the $15.00 rebate cuz I don't think it matters a hoot to Sony.

BTW.. my Cradle I ordered from Sony is supposed to be in (According to UPS tracking) on Thursday! WooHoo. .another Free Shipping 14-21 days that's showing up under one week. I wonder how many people blow major money on big exspensive shipping guarantees and just waste their money?

[leerm8680]

So you selected the free shipping (14-21 days) and it's going to arrive in 1 business day? I just ordered with the same shipping option. I hope I get the same sweet deal.

[pigburger]

Mine took 1 day too, it all depends on how close you are to one of there distributers (buy.com doesn't stock these I'm pretty sure, I think they get sent from computer hardware distributers). Mine came from Harrisburg, PA. And for the record the rebate doesn't have anything to do with Sony, you send it right to some rebate company in Miami who handles it for Lexar.

sounds to me like a job for john ashcroft.

[leerm8680]

Just got home from Arby's (my son wanted to go there for his birthday) and I got this in the mail from www.buy.com

"Hello Robert,
Just wanted to let you know that the item(s) listed below from your order #<<snip>> have shipped and are on the way to your door. "

Then it goes on to list the info for the memory stick I ordered on Sunday Night.

The coolest part was when I got home from work today the memory stick had already arived by UPS. $0.00 for 14-21 day shipping ariving in 2 days. That's a recipe for repeat business.

[KelAZ1]

FYI...Dell is now selling all of their memory at 15% off. This makes the 128Mb Sandisk memory sticks $43.34. Shipping is free! I ordered one tonight. :)

[clieconverted]

I bought (2) at CompUSA (had to make a return for another item) and I read my receipt. I cannot submit this for both of the MS I bought only one. I guess I will have to submit the second one on another form. This bites after all that is why I bought 2.

Well.. it finally happened.. ordered the Memory Stick.. got it rather promptly (2-3 days).. very happy with it.. send in the rebate data. Hmm.. ordered 1-31-03.. rebate info sent in 2-3-03.. and when did I get the rebate for it? 5-19-03... 3 1/2 months?

Why again do I worry/care about rebates? I could have made that $20 saving pop cans I find along side the road long before I got my rebate back from Lexmar. Hee-hee
