Well looking at the ones i found quickly i would say that Lik Sang is cheapest and then Divineo UK/Spain are decent too, if you know of any other decent sellers then let us know by clicking the comments.

pricey, but stil cheaper than most 2-gig mem sticks

only trouble i could see is that its bit slower than a memory stick
i dont know what implications this could have on homebrew...like if there's one that frequently reads off the hard drive? anyone got an idea? its still faster than a umd-much faster

WOW...Lik Sang $199 versus Divinio USA $269...why is the latter $70 more, what a giant price diff..

It bothers me about the size of this device, it looks clunky to me, Ive seen pics of all angles and they are clever the way they took the pics so that it doesnt emphasize how much it thickens it..the one photo where I saw of it straight from the side, they had opened the umd drive to make it look like the device didnt stick out as much. I also wonder about the weight.

That said, i cant say I dont appreciate it, it IS a cheaper alternative to the 2 gig card, and twice as much room, I CAN say im considering purchasing one, I guess im just weighing the pros vs cons.. :rolleyes:
