This is the one to buy... Yhe speed is incredible, and since its not triple density, the life and reliability are better than the non pro version... Also believe ere is an ffer where you get farcry 3 with this..,r at least that was the case a week ago... So thats like a 40 dollar freebie right there

Techbargains has a coupon code, "AFTBEXC123" for $30 off (so $150). Their website says it's expired, but also says it's good for 1/24/2013. I just tried it (not buying one, but just to test), and it seems to be working, but YMMV, I guess.
P.P.S. Newegg's website calls it a "250GB" drive (rather than a "256GB")?

Does Amazon price match? Check tomorrow. Amazon has highly sophisticated software that crawls other online (and B&M) vendors every minute or so, looking for pricing changes. Most times, they match it within a few hours.
Anything to make a sale.
The Omega juicer is a perfect example. Macys had it for $219, Amazon had it for $289. Within a few days, Amazon's price suddenly became $219. I had already bought it from Macy's though.
It's pretty cool how they aggressively try not to lose a single sale. This SSD is very tempting...will check Amazon over the next few days. I'd bet they match it.
Or just click "tell us about a lower price" on Amazon's website (product listing at the bottom)

Oh look at that i found. i KNOW IT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING, but it seems NEW EGG is selling the Far Cry Cards on their site. I bet that with a Little YMMV, you could call new egg, order by phone and mention that these HDs are suposed to include this card... and thay can't say they dont have any cause THIS LINK SAYS OTHERWISE... BAM!!!! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16800990014
Good luck, i know it s a long shot... and ill probably get some negativity comments.. but if it works even for a few, its wortha shot.. i know it did for me not too long ago.. enjoy

related question...will the included software allow for easy migration of operating system and applications from one drive to another or would i be better off buying 'ghost'? i am replacing a full 80bg intel ssd with this one. the existing ssd has win7 and all my applications on it, not data. thanks.

stupid work got in the way, I didn't see the price drop until 1pm and by then it was sold out at Amazon.

I bought a 256gb version from bandh photo a couple of weeks ago, I think for $220 with free shipping. Best I could find at the time. Now I have to get up the nerve to install it!
