Default Looking for a USB flash drive at BestBuy.

I got a $25 gift card at BestBuy. I want to get a flash drive, but I get more space for money on NewEgg. Should I save the gift card for a iPod shuffle and get it at discounted rate?

BTW, I've been fixed on the new iPod shuffle. My parents won't buy me an iPod video and I need something to listen to in the weight room.

Why the shuffle? I think there's a load of more affordable mp3 players with a better cost to space ratio and also w/ a SCREEN.

Because I refuse to use any other program except for iTunes. :)

And my limit is $25 on the card. I might still have my $7 card (used part of it) if my brother didn't spend it.

Was looking at this:

That doesn't work for me transferring back and forth from school to home. On top of that, school has Mac and home has PC.

iPod shuffles are the worst MP3 players on the market. I have a few friends that have them, and they hate them. You can't even choose what song it plays.

Yeah, apparently I might get a video anyways. Well ignore the iPod thing. Is the Memorex one I linked to decent. PC Mag gave it an editor's choice rating.

It looks fine to me. That is, unless you can wait to get one from NewEgg.

Well I got a free gift card at BestBuy so might as well use it. I just need to get the numbers on the gift card my brother took from me and then I can get it shipped to my house for free!

:)
