Yeah I stopped in at best buy and they are still charging 70 bucks for a class 4 32gb pny! Sandisk card is 40 at either Walmart or radio shack (currently on sale), but I like 23 better.

Thought I'd update: I ordered the card I linked to, selected from memory mogul due to a review I read, and received it 4 days later. Works as it should, is a legit 32gb sandisk.
According to SD tools has a read speed of 15+ mbps (vs 8+ stock) while write speed is more in line with the class 4 rating at 4+ (stock was 6+). So for 23 bucks I'm satisfied.

This site has a class 4 Sandisk 32 gb class 4 on sale today for $15. I am not affiliated with them at all but it is an awesome deal. I have the exact same card at my house so I did some speed tests on it and here is what I came up with.

I used SD booster to adjust cache sizes and SD tools to compare speeds.

SanDisk Class 4 32gb

Cache(KB) Write(MB/s) Read(MB/s)
128 4.3 20.3
256 4.2 22.1
512 4.3 24.9
1024 4.4 28.1
2048 4.3 26.2
4096 4.7 21.3
