Today I just found a great sale on 16gb class 10 microSD's WITH the adapter to full size SD. $35, that is an insane price for them. I got 2 in the store. They're listed on the website as well, although the picture is wrong. The model number and sku match the items I got which are microSD.
edit - added the URL http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+1...Card/2300848.p?id=1218320077090&skuId=2300848
Nice find, gonna go scoop one up.
I'm attaching pics so you can make sure you get the right model number in the store and don't get hoodwinked if they try to do a switcheroo.
Well that is a great price for BestBuy (rip-off-artists imho), it just brings it in line with normal prices. Check here - Newegg.

Yea, but for a small item like that I've always found it easier to get replaced if it breaks from my local store. Sure Newegg has a return policy, but I've had Bestbuy replace stuff like this well outside the normal return/replace time frame also.
thanks, got me one
I can confirm both of the ones I have work with no problems. I'm getting 22MB/s write speeds and 40MB/s read speeds, see below.

32Gb
Not being a flamer but I think people need to know there are more options than the mega corps.. Btw I bought my A500 @ Best Buy and love going there.. just sayin'
I'm gonna go w/ David on this one. I bought mine off Amazon (given 32gb is WAY more @ 58.00) but a 16gb on Amazon is 17 bucks.. That's worth a little return policy hassle IMO, in fact it's nearly half the price of the Best Buy one...
not difficult to find them at $20 or so ...
I'm more interested in that $58 32gb...where is that at? I found a few but not clear on what class they are
for the a500 I picked up a small toshiba 500 gb harddrive...$60
screw the sd card lol

Ebay has the same item for around $65.00 USD which includes the shipping.
... and dropping. about 1 month ago they were going for roughly 85 shipped on ebay.
Paving way for the 12 & 16 gb's I presume.
I wouldn't trust ebay on memory. Some of the memory they sell are fake and have corruption problems. Spend the extra 10 bucks and get it from a disputable dealer. If you don't believe me, just search google.

LOL - Of course you would want to buy from someone who has a lot of great feedbacks. I would stay away from sellers who don't have any or little feedback since its possible they would sell fakes.
You said "SOME" and not "ALL". It's not ebay you shouldn't trust regarding fake cards because they don't do the selling - it's the individuals you should be looking out for. If you don't know how to look for fake sellers on ebay by now you should probably stay away from buying from there to begin with and pay the extra $15 ( Prices are still dropping WOW LOL) plus the shipping for the "SAME" item.
If you don't know how to find a great deal on ebay and are afraid of running into fakes then you can prevent it by looking out for certain factors.....
If you don't believe me, just search google. LOL
I've bought from ebay and I'm a happy camper - I'm sure there are hundreds others here who have bought from ebay as well.
indeed - i have the said sandisk 8gb with card reader cost me 32GBP! bargain and from a UK dealer - great stuff! ebay is fine if you just use your brain and some common sense!

I used the coupon ($10 off $150) to buy this card after I found the new price.
I always trust the store because I often buy stuff in person.
I found one cheaper then that on eBay. I bid for it and won it for $54 including free shipping.

Make sure its real, its easy to scam people with SD cards as it can be programmed to report the incorrect size.

Damn... if only I could of waited a few more weeks.
Many thanks for this thread. I was ready to go to Best Buy today. Checked my local Costco and they had 18 of the 32gb. Came with a case and the mini-HDMI to regular HDMI connector. Don't know if the 16gb comes with those things, but 32gb for $479 was a great deal.
Loving the tablet so far. I'll start messing with it in a few days.
Thanks again!
oooh I think I'll buy this one and return the one from Best Buy!

Oh Yeah!!! I ended up buying one 32GB. Came with Mini-HDMI and Acer's case ($39.99 value) for $479.99. It was a GREAT GREAT deal!!!!
Beware... I believe the 32gb version does NOT have a GPS.... although the GPS doesn't work on many of the 16 gb versions anyway....
gps ok
I purchased one of these at Costco today.. It does have a GPS, and it worked--unlike the 16 gb version where the GPS did not work...
What are you guys talking about? The 32 gig DOES have GPS and does work.
It's just abit not that 'advanced' hopefully Acer will fix this soon, but if you download a couple of free GPS programs at Market you can try and you'll see that works.
I cought 12 different satellites in my livingroom.
But the GPS in general does need improvement.
All the best

2 posts--this being one of them--and this is what you spew?
Hmmm...
mine is 32gb and have gps
That sounds like a great deal on the 32GB version. Not sure why people suggest the GPS doesn't work correctly. I have the 16GB version and don't have any issue with using it. Of course I actually download apps that utilize it and do something more than holding the unit up to the sky looking for a magic satellite, so maybe that's the difference
Thank you very much for this information. I just returned my 16GB to Target and I bought the 32GB from Costco. Great deal. Thanks.
Dr. Sam
I just found out that this 32GB has the initial version 3.01. I am unable to update it to the new release version 1.14 which has corporate exchange mail and fixed several problems.
Every time I check for update, I get a message that my device is up-to-date. Did any of Costco 32GB users have this problem? Thanks.
Just picked one up from Costco, and returning my 16gb to bestbuy.
Will say, perhaps it was manufactured later? But the Costco one seems to be less problematic than my 16gb from bestbuy.
Hasn't randomly rebooted once.... wifi stays connected.... no shutdowns when charging and on standby.

This information is appearantly incorrect. I just tried to buy one at COSCO and it is $429.
Damn, I just bought the one from BB this morning for 429 after taxes + 100 GC. If I can get the costco one, I am so down with that.
Last time I saw there was $429 about 5 days ago.

I picked mine up at my local warehouse today and paid $349.99 - that price drop finally kicked me off the fence - it may be a warehouse only price as it's still reading $429 on-line.

Thanks for the heads up. I just got $80 back.
I am tempted to buy a second one for that price.
If you really want a good buy - pick up one of the SanDisk 8gig micro SDHC cards - $17.99 - but inside the packaging is a coupon for 100 free 4x6 prints - a $13.00 value. So the card ends up costing just $5.00. Not too shabby.

Why don't just go to target and get the 8G for $9, with a red card, you won't pay too much tax either. Costco got a lot with free prints, even a picture frame.
I was in the store where I saw the deal.
OP, thanks for the post... I went yesterday and got back $80
A500 at Costco
I bought one yesterday (8/16) at Costco in Overland Park, KS for $80.00 off - 32G w/ case. Sale through Saturday, 8/20/11. It is IN-STORE only. Not available from costco.com
The sale is till they are gone, like the flip camera they have still going on for $100 way after sale stopped.

P.S how is fair with a stylus?

Please provide more information, like
does it include the keyboard dock?
what is the memory size? 16g or 32g?
it's the 16 gb version without keyboard.
In a shop? Still boxed and untouched? A steal IMO!
unfortunatly the 16gb version are the ones being exposed (so not totally untouched) and hardly available, tomorrow i'll try to see the last shop because today is closed.
In the meantime i found the 32gb discounted to 399 euro and this is unboxed and untouched....is it a good deal the 32 gb?

Not a good buy at all, your best deal is with Amazon which is cheaper and with 32g storage capacity. Here's their prices:
Amazon prices tablet only (forex 1 euro = 1.32 dollars)
Brand new 32g 340 euro
.................16g 292 euro
Used like new 32g 258 euro you save 42 euro
.....................16g 218 euro you save 82 euro
Your best buy is the 32g used like new for 258 euros if you can order it from Amazon. The Transformer I bought was a 32g for 240 euros and it works perfectly upgrading to ICS. Good luck!

It costs 54 euros more than the current prices at Amazon, but since your max limt is 400 then it should be ok. Much, much better if you can order from Amazon though because you can return easily if something is not working or broken.
thanks tedr44, i checked amazon but unfortunatly the only one who ships to Italy it will cost 399 dolars so 305 euro without shipping (transformer 32gb used) and i'm keen to buy it. Is it safe to make such purchase in case the tablet is damaged during the shipment?sorry for my boobness but it's first time purchasing from amazon.COM.
EDIT: the price of the 32gb used with shipment is 365 euro and without taxes....so not convenient.
Get the one that is in the shop near you, if anything would be wrong with it after all you can return there. It´ll save you a headache

Amazon has a very good record when it comes to customer service, if you have their phone number you may want to call and inquire about their policy on returning damaged shipments. But in my experience, Amazon will always try to correct any problem you may have because they want you to come back to them for future business. Why don't you try so you have the experience to order online for the first time with Amazon?
Amazon's customer service is amazing. They also have the most lenient return policy I have ever seen.
If there is even a slight problem with your purchase, they will take care of it.
i know that amazon is a good service, i purchased lots of things from amazom.IT, but was concerned about buying used goods. however i realized that buying from USA is not a good deal after the shipment cost and taxes (in italy you have to pay 21% of the price), in fact the 32 gb used will be over 400 euro.
so i'll try the last shop which opens in 2 hours, otherwise i'll wait for new discounts or buy it for the normal price 338 euro....
quite indecisive because i don't know if it's better to wait later or not to buy a good tablet for less than 400, i've read about google tablet but i prefer a 10 inch one.
thanks you guy for your advice
300 bucks is a good deal if you can't come up with the extra 200 for the prime.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
unfortunatly all the transformer 16gb were sold. now i'm indecided whether buying it at 340 euro or wait..what do you think is better?
I would wait, the price of the transformers is dropping fast. I was able to pick up a 16GB model over here in the states with KB dock for $250. This was probably an especially good deal, but I can't see the price going anywhere but down.
Does Europe have a Craigslist or similar online classified listings? That is where I would look.
for italy there is ebay, where i found the transformer 16 gb for 250 euro, hoping no one raise the price higher in the next 24 hour....if the price will be under 280 maybe i'll buy it even though is used.
sorry for the double post but wanted to bump the post for attention.....i founded an acer iconia tab a 500 for 299 euro with 32gb, what do you think?

I'd really recommend purchasing through a vendor who will handle issues for you, or offers their own warranty if you are going with ASUS.
My current RMA has resulted in:
Receiving another customers tablet.
Receiving back my tablet, without the charger they asked me to send in, and with the same issue it was sent in for.
Receiving a charger without the adapter to plug it into the socket.
This is still ongoing, and when you call support, they just say, we'll escalate, and someone will call you in 2 days if you ask to speak to a manager, or have an issue.
The device was great while it worked, but I'd personally look for a vendor who is good with returns and/or offers a 3rd party warranty.
i'm sorry for the problem your facing michiganenginerd and i heard the same thing for the transformer prime (was going to buy it a month ago). I'm quite settled to buy the used iconia a500 (32gb) for 299 (with valid warranty) because is perfect fo my purpose (reading and surfing thenet).
IS it ok?
