SanDisk Gives Gold Memory Cards Away in Contest

SanDisk is holding a contest in Japan where those who purchase their Extreme IV 8GB CompactFlash or UltraII 4GB SDHC cards in marked packages could win solid gold versions of the cards. If your scratch off wins you could get gold versions of the CompactFlash card weighing in at 150g and worth about $38,800 HKD. The SDHC golden card weighs in at 35g and is worth around $18,000 HKD. The contest runs from now until June 22 in Hong Kong and appears to be called the Gold SanDisk Fabulous contest says Google translations. I suspect that whoever wins these golden memory cards, they will be selling it off for the weight of the gold.
