Has anyone notice that this is not a pro duo?

This is a pretty good deal but only if you're really looking for one. Otherwise you could just wait a couple of weeks and find a bunch of 2gb SD's for this same price. Memory price fall like the defenders at an AND1 game. (I hate AND1 but I thought it might be a good analogy, what do you think?)

You can use these cards on the psp with that memory converter thing that slots in the memory card slot.

I got a 1gb SanDisk SD for £10.49 the other week, and paid £24.99 for anotherone a few weeks prior. like mavsman4457 said, memory card prices fall...

...memory cards are selling faster now than they have in years, they are cheap to make and even if a 2gb sold for £6 (@ $11) the company would still make proffit

You may as well doubt Buy.com or TigerDirect.com.

ZipZoomFly is a very good (and hence well trusted) distributor.

actually i can give you a proper answer here - i just bought 2x 2gig sd cards off amazon - if you order that one straight its not from amazion but from apartner store and so theres postage, if you follow the link through, its somewhere, to buy it straight off amazon then it costs a little more but you get the free delivery and its actually from amazon etc.

Its not fake, it really does look like that, but as noted earler this is Not a sony stick but an SD card and cannot be used with the psp unless you have the double memory expander. (i have it its really cool actually, it has some issues with being stuck out the back, and the pins not sticking as well as they should, but i almost always use the datel x2 battery anyway so im used to studff sticking out the back, and when you get used to it its actually a lot easier to hold the thing with them there.

Kingston is a good brand. I've used my 512mb SD-card for almost 2 years now with no problem. It's not shit like the fake Sony-Pro Duo.

Okay I currently do not own a device that requires/uses an SD card but for 16 dollars it's nice to have JUST In CASE. Just about to buy one now.

what if the SD card is dodgy? you will never know until you buy a device that reads SD, then it would be too late cause the company selling through amazon or wherever won't exist and you would have wasted $16. just buy when you have a device that reads it, the prices are dropping like dead flies so you will be able to get one cheaper then!

Hm, I do suppose thats true, but if I recall correctly amazon has a 30 day warranty, so I'll just borrow a friends camera to check it to make sure it's working proper like. Even if it Doesn't work, It's only 20 bucks with shipping so theres no worries there. ANd to your last statement, about the dead flies, how can they drop if they were already dead. It's like saying, " ... he went to sleep fine, but woke up dead." Yo I just want to have one because I might need it for something at a moments notice.

Guys, please do some research next time before posting ignorant comments. They are in fact much cheaper than Memory Stick Pro DUOs.

SD cards are used from more items than just the Wii; most include digital cameras/camcorders.

Thos looks a like a good deal but isn't worth considering if you don't know how reliable they are

Great for the Wii, now I just need to find a good offer on some Micro SD cards too, my 512MB one just isn't enough for DS homebrew...

A 2GB SD card for £8 is well cheap. Far better than the normal £86 asking price. Okay, there's chances that it could be fake but if it's official, it's all good.
