So I've been doing some more research into my hoarding issues and found a Sandisk Extreme 1TB SD card on best buy's marketplace for a pretty decent price, my only issue is that I've NEVER used Best Buy's marketplace before, and I don't know if I can exactly trust it...Here's what it looks like for reference, the ratings on the seller are pretty high but there's zero ratings for the SD card itself:
(i'm aware this is a third party seller btw)

I don't really mind waiting a bit for it to ship as long as i get it in the end...and thanks in advance for your input!

Watch this, also there is no bestbuy market place in the US, seem just a thing in Canada

Oh YIKES...Yeah, that's DEFINTELY crossing out my choice to get it from best buy...I won't risk it if this is already some sorta widespread issue, gonna watch the entire video to fill myself in too. Thank you for giving me this vital information...since the listing says I can't return it once I open it this is FAR too risky.

I use NewEgg or Amazon and I usually only buy from the actual manufacturer eg TeamGroup, SiliconPower or buy direct from NewEgg or Amazon.

$133 is a pretty penny and problem with 3rd party sellers is they could have sourced counterfeits from AliExpress.

FYI Amazon have an Ultra 1tb for $109

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
