This is a Newegg Shell Shocker, so sale starts 8AM PDT on Friday and will end at 6PM PDT or until the inventory lasts (which probably won't!). Limit is 2. This is a Class 6, so it's the fastest in its class!

absolutely smoking... I'll definitely be picking up two (max is 2 per account).
random question, how do you find out the shell shocker before it is posted ? Is it out in an email ? or is there a hidden link to always see the next shell shocker?

You can always use the following link by playing with dates. Just use next day. http://promotions.Newegg.com/shellshocker/20081010/notstarted.html
Curious why a 8GB SDHC class 6 card was so cheap (without a rebate even!) I Googled this model CT8GBSDHC and saw the price has dropped a lot recently. Regular price at Mwave and Newegg is only $20 now. Couldn't find many reviews on this card but the few that I did see on Newegg's and others' sites have been positive. Any FWer's with experience with this card, please let us know! For example, how does it compare to the Sandisk Extreme III line? I think they now have cards that read/write at 30MBps, but of course they're nowhere this cheap.

From website: 31MB of memory has been built into the camera. This is enough for around 13 shots. The camera is also compatible with the following memory sticks: Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo. Memory Stick PRO Duo High Speed, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo.

the card was only 19.99 to begin with, I dont see the big deal.
8GB SDHC cards were $30+ for brands like Transcend, pqi, A-data, as recently as June; brands like Sandisk and Crucial were going for $45+. There has been quite a decline in prices, yes, but $9.99 for an 8GB SDHC (of any brand) is a fabulous deal right now, well, as long as you have or will soon acquire a device that can use the HC. (Don't forget to get a reader if you don't already have an SDHC one.)

Usually a lot. The 2GB SD Card for $4.99 took a long time to sell out.

Thanks! I use a 4gb SDHC in my D80 and it works great. It should not be a problem. I'm going to order one tomorrow!

You sir, are an idiot. 50% off anything that is regulary prived at fair market value is a great deal. Throw in free shipping and no tax for many people, and it's even hotter.
I will throw a few of these in my SDHC card reader and I have a very cheap and fast (and sort of swappable) USB drive

So iff a Wii hased been reduced from $249.99 to $149.99, you wouldn't think that would be a good deal?!?! Pretty silly comparison. This is a good deal and I'll be trying to pick one up, but it's not that good.

Very true- I jumped on 2 class 4 8gb sandisk cards @ $15 each earlier this summer. Crucial is a great brand and for class 6 cards, this is an absolute steal.
That having been said, flash prices are trending downwards, so in three months we may laugh at paying $9.99 for only 8gb!

Thanks topsales,
I just received my D-80 as a gift, but with no SDHC card. I realize the D-80 needs an SDHC card but have been confused on what I should use optimally. Have been doing a lot of reading on the web and Nikon's site. Seems that the SanDisk Extreme III is recommended, but saw it says "30/mb's" which I now know is the "read" speed. But have been looking for a SDHC card that has the best "write" speed for the D-80. Done some homework and this looks to be good (Class 6). So, hopefully I can snag one tomorrow @ 11 am PST. Thanks again!
Also, thanks to iceui2 and cesiumvirus for your input.
I almost got a heart attack when I saw the title. I thought the deal was for a microSDHC I guess too much G1 will do that to you. Anybody knows a good deal on a class 6 microSDHC?

Not too bright eh? "From website: 31MB of memory has been built into the camera. This is enough for around 13 shots. The camera is also compatible with the following memory sticks: Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo. Memory Stick PRO Duo High Speed, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo. " Sony cameras only use Memory Stick. AND, just about the only (not including card readers, duh) products that use memory sticks are Sony (stupid Sony!!).
Update. I received a replacement card of my choice from them no charge. It was a 8G class 6 microSD with an adapter. Works great on my cycloDS card for the nintendo DS. Amazing how many games and movies I can put on it. Thanks again for the deal OP and in this case it cost me zero.
