Bargain Find: SanDisk 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo for $104.99

Posted Aug 1, 2006 at 6:16AM EST by QJ Staff

SanDisk

A couple of months ago, SanDisk made an announcement that sent all PSP owners to sheer delight; they will come out with a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. Of course something that can store up to 64 hours of MP3 music tracks, more than 20 hours of movies and videos and 4,000 digital still images would make the $219.99 retail price justified, in any case.

However, would you believe that it's being sold over buy.com for almost half its original price according to bargain hunting website AntiRebate? Intrigued on why this is so, I hurried over buy.com. only to find out that the item is currently unavailable from the manufacturer. And when that message is displayed alongside the product, it means that they are not accepting any orders and that you should constantly check the website for the product's availability.

Aren't you just hoping that it'll be soon?

No it's all ^2

So 32/64/128/256/512/1024/2048/4096

and unless they've changed the support in newer firmwares (I don't keep up on everything), 4GB is the maximum supported, so 8GB(8192) would be useless for PSP owners, so not likely to be produced any time soon, which is unfortunate, because they would at least drive down the price of the 4GB cards.

# ahem — mnky 2006-08-01 07:48

On the site it still says 154.99.

# WOW — Guest 2006-08-01 07:51

# Amazon — Guest 2006-08-01 07:51

amazon sell that 4GB memory stick for $109.99 and its in stock

and its a brand new one and amazon are the seller

# reported — Guest 2006-08-01 07:53

reported it as inaccurate

# 8GB is coming soon... — Shadownet 2006-08-01 07:54

@7, the 8GB MS is coming out later this year, a firmware upgrade, sony said, is all that is needed to change the max capacity.

# bored — Guest 2006-08-01 07:59

Yes I'm really bored. lol

@12 That's good news, and hopefully DH will be able to load into that firmware so that 1.5ers can use 8GB sticks (of course a custom firmware may also end up being another option). :)

# I got it FOR 104.99 — aaronaja 2006-08-01 08:13

Ha ha. I actually got the deal and it arrives next day.

# Another Deal on Buy? — Guest 2006-08-01 10:55

Does this card work on the PSP? http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202636843&adid=17662

Its not a bad price either.

# You sure that's real? — Guest 2006-08-01 10:56

# Better Deal — Guest 2006-08-01 11:13

I found a better deal, idk if it's an error or not but i ordered 3 just in case.

http://stores.tomshardware.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=21546505

I found it there on a store called thenerds.net i'm assuming they're out right now but they were 102 dollars with 8 dollar shipping. This is the gaming edition too.

# See here... — Guest 2006-08-01 11:58

I am not being defensive here, but the time that I wrote this article and went to the site there wasn't any price on there and at that time it was currently available. So the $104.99 price, because of lack of choice, was based on what was posted over at AntiRebate.

But, good if it has the price and is already available. ^^

# still no price — Guest 2006-08-01 12:44

When I follow the link you posted, then the next link to go to buy.com from there, it still comes up with no price for me.

And still says

"This item is currently unavailable from the Manufacturer."

# nope, thank you — Guest 2006-08-01 13:31

it's listed at $154 bucks now. so i'm guessing the 104 was a major typo.

# $108!!! — Guest 2006-08-01 13:49

heres one i found for only $108

(http://www.digitaletc.com/item.php?ref=fr&productid=4430)

# W00t! — Guest 2006-08-01 14:19

Just ordered the 4GB Sandisk Ultra II MSPD for only $12x.00, glad it went through, and I sold my buddy my 2GB, thanks a lot for the tip, PSPUpdates.com rules!

# ? — Guest 2006-08-01 14:37

slash's website does say $108 but tax is $13 (minimal) so total $121 still cheapest ive seen hopefully its legit can an1 confirm

# 4 gig stick — Guest 2006-08-01 16:03

I am pretty sure these are gone now but I did see them at tenbestdeals.com for 126.99 shipped no tax

# uk — Guest 2006-08-01 20:11

will ibe able to ship these to the uk as i am very interested in the 4 gig stick, also will the 4 gig stick work on the 1.5 psp ????????

# 8gig + is possible on psp — Erekiddo 2006-08-01 20:27

ok lets say it for those who said psp can take more than 4g mem stick.....on the psp launch they said it can hold up to 4g mem stick and the day that 8g 16g 32g (!!) mem stick will arrive they said they change that with newer update....and guess what ? im pretty sure that custom firmware would get a fix to that prob........so more than 4g is possible and will be on psp !

# re:32 — Guest 2006-08-01 21:31

Welcome to 20 posts ago.

# ozzie? — Guest 2006-08-01 21:59

Can anyone find a site that offers this same deal but ships to Australia? Ozzies need 4gbs of goodness too!!!

# About that stick... — Guest 2006-08-01 23:46

I just saw the model of the stick.

Does the non-transparent sandisk sticks work well for the PSP?

# Custom firmware — Guest 2006-08-02 00:18

hmm i reckon if they could make custom firmware access more than 4gb of memory i would rather a 1.8 inch 60gb hard drive

http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=T60MK6006H

this would make the psp KILL the ipod

# ??? — Guest 2006-08-02 03:48

# 4gb for £84.99 — Guest 2006-08-02 04:52
