Sony is finally getting around to releasing their 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (High-Speed) cards. They announced these things back in September of 2004, and have kicked the release date back twice. The “(High-Speed)” in the name indicates the cards have a transfer rate of 80Mbps (10MB/sec), which is far more than you’ll ever need for anything practical. Sony really needs to do something about this Memory Stick naming scheme, because it’s getting to be like Street Fighter games. I needn’t remind you this stick is PSP compatible.

Do you have any idea how much they will retail for?
To be honest I think Sony should really sort out the price tags for these things, because when compared to other memory formats, the prices are ridiculously over the top. Thanks for the news mate. :)

2GB, getting serious here. 2 gig will hold a few songs. jez a few movies. I have to agree with pecks2005 though, at $300 its a bit of an outlay.
