A stroke of accessory luck...
Well, I had a streak of luck on friday that ended with me saving a whole lotta money on the reader case with the light and a memory stick for my reader. I am still amazed at the luck and just had to share.
I went for a little walk on my lunch hour and there seemed to be some sort of sony event going on on the pedestrian mall, here in Calgary. The next thing I know, someone is pressing a $25 gift certificate into my hand for Sony Style. I didn't put alot of stock in it, but threw it into my purse and carried on. Then, on my way back to the office - another sony person jumped in front of me and said "Can I take your picture and then give you a $50 gift card?" I basically told them "Sure - if you want to break your camera on my mug, I guess that's your perrogative" lol.
Anyway - on Saturday, I took my $75 in free money to the sony store to inquire if these were truly legit and had no catches...the salesperson assured me that they were just as good as cash. So I promptly told him I would buy a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo and that I wanted to special order the lighted cover (they didn't have them in stock there). He looked in his computer and said "No need to special order if you're willing to drive 5 mins to pick it up".
$17 CDN later, I was driving home with my hoard and a giant smile on my face!
I must say that the best service I have gotten in any store lately has been at Sony Style in Deerfoot Meadows in Calgary. They are just awesome there.
and I love this cover. That integrated light knocks my mighty bright out of the ballpark anyday (and saves the back of my reader from further scratching).
