I picked one up at my local Staples (Columbus, OH). The offered a price match to their website without even being asked. I'm pleased and thanks for the post.

Got one in store. Thanks!

Edit: The correct drive model is P-FD8GBATT2-FS. It's ReadyBoost certified and fast enough for me (18 MB/s read, 11 MB/s write).

That's a wrong model. According to Stapl3s product page the correct model is this one instead.

What is the point of a 8GB device when ReadyBoost only supports 4GB? (reference)

4Gb to spare for other things you want to keep on the flash drive while allowing the other 4GB for max utilization

What is the point of a V-8 engine when most people will never use more than half it's capabilities?

got last two on shelf in store, one for me, one for GF. Asked cashier to price check, she said "$69.99", I asked "$19.99 online, do you guys price match", she came back with "Staples.com?". She checked it, sure enough, it's on sale.

My Staples in Flushing doesnt adjust the price to $19.99. Is every Staples supposed to adjust the price to $19.99 if the customer buys it in store?

Am I the only one here having bad luck?

Do I have a fighting chance still to get the deal there?

They should go read their own website:

"What if I find a lower price at Staples?
