Here in the great white north (Wis.) there is a chain of stores called
babbages that sells the card alone for ~ $140.00. If you buy any of the
games that uses the board, there is a $20 rebate coupon inside. So you
can bring the price down to about $120. ( I also had a $20 off coupon
for the store so that brought my price down to $100. Just what I was
willing to spend!!!)

PS. When I say card alone, that is not entirely true. It did come with
	the "Jukebox", and a bunch of silly songs, but you don't need any
	of that stuff. Just plug it in, and it plays if your software knows
	how to use it.
