SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB U3 Readyboost Flash Drive - £9.99 @ Amazon (Or £6.99 Pricematch w/PC World!)


£9.99

515°

FOUND BY: whizzkid 1 year, 1 month ago

Another few quid price drop on this one. Use as a filler (spend £4 more) or free postage for Amazon Prime.

NB doing a price match with PC World would give you 10% of £39.99 - £9.99 = £3.00, so £9.99 - £3.00 = £6.99!

If considering this for ReadyBoosting Vista then be warned : I am fairly sure that MS ReadyBoost can only use a MAXIMUM of 4GB so the other 4GB w/be wasted in that application of this USB stick (as I also believe that you can't use the rest of the stick for another parallel purpose at the same time, but I may be wrong on that aspect).

You can use up to 4GB of flash for ReadyBoost (which turns out to be 8GB of cache w/ the compression)

So £9.99 each after price match?

PCworld price match condition "The competitor must have the item in stock and website prices must include delivery. Single unit purchases only. " So including delivery charge on this from amazon is £12.74. So price match of £6.99 is wrong as in original poster?

PC World will only match Amazon sold items, if you have got one of these you are lucky, cos the seller is Sandisk themselves on the Amazon site, they refer this as a marketplace seller, and will not match.

It's being sold by their Jersey counterpart (Indigostarfish.com) and so PC World will NOT Price Match it.

I've tried this countless times - PC World will refute the claim because it is "sold by Amazon's preferred merchant", whether it is eligible for prime delivery or not.

Yes, technically PCWorld shouldn't price match this on two counts 1. Price doesn't include delivery and they shouldn't price match multiple items, and 2. its not sold by Amazon.

You may get lucky though so worth a go. In my experience PCWorld staff are pretty clueless (it took 3 managers to work out a price match for a monitor I bought last week and they still did it wrong!) I managed it in my head.

Still a hot price!

You can use free space for storage on a readyboost drive no problem
