anyway,

went in to see how their CF stock was, wondering if they had any hi-speed writes

answer: No

however, I did get 2 of these for €10 ! 12/02/10

€5 for a 2GB Sandisk Extreme III

I know they won't suit everybody (I shoot RAW+JPEG Fine on a D200 so these cards will only hold 78 shots in my circumstances) however at €5 a pop they are cheap enough to keep in your pocket!

just to let people know from looking at that receipt, the discount is at the manager's discretion. What that simply means is that the assistant applied a discount that wasn't an offer and will likely face a talk from his manager because that should never be used without the manager putting the transaction through or without their permission.

On the bright side, At least I know to look out for Stephen when calling by next time to get a cheap card

I was passing through Navan, the Currys is located on the Cavan side of Navan on the N3 in a retail park, I dont know the name of it.

@ gs39t - Funny that you ask, they were hidden away! however I asked what had they (I was looking for the latest gen cards which they dont have) then they went to a cupboard in the corner and they had boxes of them in there.

@ Swingking - The Manager is the guy that stated the price, he said 'they are on special offer 2 for a Tenner'

3 staff members were present.

It made my day - thats why I am sharing the info.

A real bargain for me, based on my usage.
