Are you sure?

 

[dajo]

Can you provide a link to the website?

 

[beelerspace]

Pretty sure - am buying one tommorow (provided they still have it) so I can let you know then. Quite a few websites say that it does.

typing of the dead is quite a fantastic game - picked it up, but can't get the apostrophe to work in xp - works fine in 98 though.

europa u. is also very good. can't believe it was only $2!!

 

[beelerspace]

also on ebgames.com - says on its desc that it is PC compatible - just look for "shark" in the search box. a few entries down.

beelerspace,

Is this on the web? or in B&M Store?
Thanks

saw the USB hub at B&M and asked them to hold it until tommorow so I could verify it would work with a PC, but I also see it on the website as well.

Ohhh, I've been needing one of these, and $13.98 shipped for this one seems like a steal.
One is on the way, with any luck. Thanks beelerspace!

Man!...... Called ALL EB B&M in So Cal.... No one has Typing of the Dead for the PC.

And I just started to type like a normal person too!

 

[Kenny0829]

Wow, Thanks for the Info.
Been needing more ports on my puter.

AND there is even a store in the local mall, so I can just pick one up !

 

[Dekaner]

Called the local store in Syracuse, guy said it was tagged as $20 something but I had him ring it up in the register and sure enough it's $8.99, so they are going to hold it for me. Woo hoo!

 

[johndeeregator]

Just stopped by the EB in the mall and not only did they not have any in stock, the guy working there said he had never even heard of this thing. Tried to sell me a 6-port USB hub for $90... yeah, right!

Product Press Release

It states that it does work with the PC, so this is a great deal. You're saving about 50% the regular price.

Nice find.

 

[getmeadeal]

Great post. Great deal.

 

[scienceMan]

Thanks beelerspace,

I was just looking for a hub, order it a few seconds ago,
almost got one for 3x the price at some office store.

thanks again...

[Devistater]

Being as this is a self powered hub with AC adapter, that's a pretty decent price.

 

[beelerspace]

am running the shark hub on my PC now. works fine, and looks much "cooler" than my other fairly generic looking usb hub. it is powered and installed - as would be expected with any usb device - quite easily.

 

[VTECxtc]

thanx beelerspace. i really needed a hub!!

 

[Dekaner]

Yup, works fine in WinXP. Shows up as a "Generic USB Hub". Got it for just under $10 w/ tax.

 

[Kenny0829]

Thanks Beelerspace, SWEET DEAL. cost me $9.59 w/tax out the door.
Picked 2 up ,(one for a friend, that got me a deal on a HD).
And not only do these look good, They are SMALL.
About 4 1/4 x 3/4 x 2 3/4 " in size.
Thinking of "modifying" a 5 1/2" drive bay cover, to add 4 usb ports to the front of my puter.
3 in the back remaining and 4 in the front, "should" hold me over for a little while.

Great deal! Thanks for posting--I ordered online. Don't forget to check out the Kensington Flylight for your laptop while you're on the site. It's only $12.99 or so, and seems to be one of the better prices out there.
