Blockbuster is clearing out Flips

imageWhen I talk about employee-generated video for intranets and the Web, I usually pull out my Flip video camera. Some people have seen it, but most ooh and aah. “How much?” they ask. “Where can I get one?”

About $149, I answer. Best Buy, Target, and the Flip website.

That was the conversation at a talk I gave recently in Phoenix. Shortly afterward, I got an email from Al Shiya, who had remembered seeing the Flip at Costco. He headed to his local store only to learn Costco no longer sells them. An employee, however, told him Blockbuster carried the camera. So Al headed to Blockbuster, where he found the model that stores an hour of AVI video for $100. Blockbuster is clearing them out. “Bought two,” Al said, then added that he thought I might want to pass that along.

Thanks, Al. I just did.

I’m not sure if these are the regular Flip cameras or the Flip Ultras like the one I have, but either way, it’s a bargain.
