Warm - Kingston Value RAM 256 DDR $45 AR @ Bestbuy.com

[RupertPupkin2]

Now listed as $59.99 on the site (search for "kingston ddr"). $15 rebate is good for this week. This may also be available at the B&M, but I haven't checked. One rebate per address.

I was at a Best Buy B&M today and didn't notice the kingston price (didn't check bestbuy.com until I got home), but I did get some PNY Optima 256 DDR memory that had the Samsung PC2700 chips (chips end with CB3). This memory was 69.99 (probably to match the CompUSA special, which I brought to pricematch with, but they beat me to it). It was around $100 last week. YMMV on the faster Samsung chips, I got the last two at the store I was in.

I will most likely keep the PNY and not go for the Kingston since I need 2 sticks and I got lucky finding the faster sticks.

Office Max has K-Byte 256MB PC2100 for $30 AC/AR this week.

I predict Rupert Pupkin is going to be a big star.

Pretty good. I am in.

This is a warm deal, definitely better than paying retail.

However I prefer paying $5.99 for 256MB instead.

Well since that deal dead ( rebate way past date) this is reasonable price.

not to threadcrap, as this is an excellent deal for $45, if you are in socal fry's, they have corsair 2700 for $59.99. i am testing it out right now, one stick does 203/406 without errors in memtest. gonna test the other stick. one per customer.

i have a friend who does not need pc2700, just plain ol' 2100, will buy one for him. thanks Rupert.

Why not me? Why not? A guy can get anything he wants as long as he pays the price. What's wrong with that? Stranger things have happened.

Got one in local store, $60-$15 rebate valid until Dec 7.
My kid needs one for his P4 with 256MB only.

In store the price is $99 with a $55 rebate to equal $45, but Best Buy will not price match their own web site at $60.

Darn, I needed some more $5 RAM.

Order online and then choose instore pickup - hopefully you should still be able to get the $55 rebate (where is that rebate anyway??? all i can find is the $15 one online....)

Why on Bestbuy's website I only see $99 with $15 rebate ? Where is the $45 rebate?

Sfang your right they must of changed the price since last night. I got lucky because I ordered a stick last night for a Christmas present for my dad.

Plus it has a $15.00 print out. So after the mail in rebate it comes to $ 47 or something like that. My self I usually buy crucial or Mushkin since I O/C. But its just for my dad and as long as it works he doesnt care of the brand name.

BTW.. Newegg has Crucial 256 DDR 2100 for $70.00 with free shipping or atleast it was this moring. Thats cheaper then Crucials site even with the 15% off coupon. Again this was the prices this morning.
