Did I just hear the TV correctly - a free 'Bourne Ultimatum' memory stick with an 85p paper?

Or is there some Murdoch malware invloved somewhere?

^^^ Presumably, not much space - have they mentioned the size yet - 64meg max - surely?

Even so, interesting to know that it's financially viable these days to do this in leiu of giving away a CD/DVD.

not the kind of memory stick I was hoping for......<evil grin>

well i am sure these things cost under 50c to make - and mass produced somewhere in asia.

They NEVER give away good stuff like this in US papers.. plus none of our computer magazines have the cd stuff as the imports from the UK..

sigh....

^ I just bought it too - a bit pathetic really! But for 85p - a 32meg stick + a 'superb' paper - great!

Nowdays you could get 32MB memory stick with almost no money everywhere that has stock left (poor b... not to sell them sooner) - it is an size that could be called inadequately endowed.

I would suggest not to pay more than few dimes for anything less than 512MB.

^^ I got a 2GB Stick on Amazon for about that last week - my Bourne Ultimatum memory stick is ever so slightly redundant now!

Well, even in my over-priced Eastern European homeland we get 2 Gb sticks for 20-25$.

didn't pay a cent for my 2 Gb Kingston.
It just happened that my boss needed one and we bought 7-8 of them.
