Its not in stock either. Why do they keep posting crap like this. I can post a lot of links to sites that have them for this cheap, some cheaper by a few dollars. The only catch its pre-order, and no estimated ship date is available. This is useless.

Soooo....

This is a good deal for me since I don't own a card reader and do everything slooowly through the PSP's MS slot, right?

IT'S NOT HIGHSPEED!

They've just made a mistake. Real high-speed costs $349.99 on the same website, as you can see here: http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail~dpno~536002.asp

I'll wait for SanDisk, thanks.

but does this mean that the ultra version is even faster than the gaming one, because on gamespot they only tested the gaming version ...

i didn't find any direct comparision between ultra and gaming, nor a real specification from scandisk about the read and write throughput of the gaming edition.

It's not in stock! It says "call us" next to "usually ships:".

I know sites that sell them for less then $100 but they are all out of stock.

IT'S OUT OF STOCK YOU DUMB ****S.

What the **** did you just say?

Was that English?

Oh yea?

"I bet you pull the wings off flies too you prize prick."

Or should it be:

"I bet you pull the wings off of flies too you prize prick."

DUMB ****

"What the **** did you just say?

Was that English?"

Nope that was idiot no one but them understand what it means.

You evidently have no idea what English means if you need to ask that question you fool. And be a real man and post under a username instead of the anonymous psedonym. Oh sorry, you are a spotty 12 year old oink with silvery stains on your trousers - the thought of standing up and being counted makes you piss your trousers doesn't it?

Yea but that dude is right it's out of stock. I think I called them about 3 months ago and they said they weren't certain when it would be in stock.

He wasn't talking to you dumbass, he was talking to me.

So people who speak proper english in England spell speaks like "speeks"?

This is some high quality discussion here. I would love to see some additional tests of read/write speeds including the Ultra II and sony "high speed". Is it possible to request articles on Tomshardware?

You'll need firmware 2.0 to take advantage of the high speed memory stick pro duo.

Just htought id say, in case someone in the UK is interested in buying one, i got my 1gb Sandisk for £61.50, incl next day delivery from Emartbuy.com...have to say their service was exceptional, even changed my order after an hour(coz i orderd the gaming one by mistake, which is more expensive(why?)) and they still delivered nex day!!.

the 1gb is proving exceptionally useful.

Not arguing anymore mate - he aint worth it. Apologies.

The Gaming edition is exactly the same as the normal sandisk pro duo (that's directly from Sandisk technical support)just a difference case.

This is unfortunately not the case. The Sandisk Gaming sticks use MLC (multi-level cell) memory. The plain-Jane blue colored Sandisk sticks use SLC (single-level cell) architecture. What this means to you is that the "Gaming" sticks, which appear to be far more extreme, are actually cheaper to produce, slower, and have a shorter lifespan than their SLC cousins.

Educate yourselves: http://www.memorynet.co.uk/info/faq-single-layer-cell-versus-multi-level-cell.shtml

LOL, ****nell!

o **** dat aint fair. i got my 1 gig for $150 dam

i hate it i still have my 32mb cause the seconde i decide to go buy a bigger mem card theres a huge price shift if i had brought a 1gb when i first got my psp i would have wasted about $100 i think ill just wait until samsung comes out with a 4gb for 200 or less that should last me a year or 2

LOL @ itaintrite.
On a related note, I was looking through the Sunday magazines and was cvery surprised at the across-the-board price drops on all flash memory based cards. 1 gigabyte flash cards selling for $59.99 and a 1 gigabyte usb jump drive selling for $49.99 (all after rebates of course). It seems there was a unanimous decision among memory companies to drop memory prices to stimulate sales. That would explain the drop in 2 GB card prices as well. From my watch it took a little less than 6 months for the price of 1 gig cards to drop to the price that 512 MB cards were at (they're now at 30 bucks...yikes). So maybe in another 6 months we can expect 2 gig pro duos to drop under $100. Cool no?

except in least in lower capacities, sony media is slooooohohohooo oohoooow. slow.

high speed doesnt work on PSP, only on cameras etc.

neat find...u didnt give creds to original finder, i read thread but forgot poster...

WARNING: THIS IS NOT MSX-M2GN! REPEAT THIS IS NOT THE HIGH SPEED CARD.

M2GN is the High Speed version. M2GS
(which the part number states) is the plain Duo Pro. This can be found at many places online for $150 (check froogle). DON'T BE SCAMMED BY PCMALL. I've fallen victim to their poor details and even worse cust service before.

I had found this ad a week ago and almost acted on it. Luckily saw the part number didnt match up. Also, as a caveat, there is no real benefit to having the high speed card if you are using your PSP as your card writer, since it doesn't support high speed writing.

Well, I would ask anyone who already own a psp memory other than the weak 32mb that comes with the psp to not buy anything else till samsung joins the market! They will provide 2-4 gig by next year! So if u have 256 - 512 - 1g stick with that for now. Don't buy anything Yet.

PS : next year means the first Q1 of 2006.
