Tiger Direct just had a sale too (typical really) with a 1GB stick for 9.99
after $80 rebate, and you get a security suite with it, FWIW.  They have
other 128MB sticks for the same 9.99, 512 for 17.99 and Samsung 2GB for
29.99.  Deals are everywhere.  Maybe they shouldn't be in this forum unless
someone has figured out a way to deploy "Universe on a Stick".

Regarding Fry's, I don't mind buying stuff from them, though they do have a
high rate of returns (as evident by continual long lines for Customer
Service at the entry way).  I have very bad experience with their rebate
programs.  The people responsible for the rebates (occasionally layers of
third-party agencies down to the manufacturers, none of whom ever seem to
be in their office to take your call at the moment) are effectively
disconnected from Fry's Corporate, and you have virtually no ability to
complain about their program or return the merchandise if you feel a need
to claim fraud.  The lower the amount of money involved the more they will
give you the runaround until (they expect) you're ready to just write it
off.  I've been through this a few times and took this on as one of my
little "projects" (things to do while the system is booting or waiting for
a phone call...):  I was a thorn in their side for a year on a $20 rebate
and they actually held out.  Caveat Emptor - YMMV
