The deal (without the flash drive) appears to have been extended through the end of March.

Thanks for the alert DougLite, I've corrected my earlier post. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote it - I've owned 3 R420/480 cards and should know better. Note that your list shows R430 twice, as both 110 and 130nm - it's the former.
