USB memory key free with an 85p newspaper

What's the deal?

The News Of The World, which costs 85p, is giving away free USB memory key drives worth around £3 (redeemable from WH Smith) as part of a promotion for the Bourne Ultimatum film. The USB sticks are portable memory devices you can use with a computer; and they'll also have clips from the film on them.

How can I get one?

A voucher will be printed in Sunday's (12 August) paper. To claim the drive, buy the paper for 85p, and take the voucher into your local WH Smith, where you should get a USB drive in return for it.

Anything else I should know?

The USB key is likely to have relatively small memory on it somewhere around 64mb or 128mb (no details available as yet) which would normally cost around £3 or £4 from the high street (much bigger capacity for not much more is available if you buy online - see Cheapest Online Shopping article). Though there is a chance if its a sizeable video clip, that it'll be bigger!

It will come pre-loaded with some promotional material from the new Bourne film, including video clips and interviews with the actors, as well as some empty space for your files.

If Matt Damon's heroics don't appeal, it should be possible to format the rest of the drive so you can use all of the space for your own stuff, but there is a tiny doubt on this.

The USB memory keys proved very popular today, with most local WH Smith branches running out quite early in the day. Unfortunately I was unable to get one myself, but the memory sticks were 32MB for those of you who were interested.
