I'll start off first by saying that my search turned up an alright topic but not definitive on if the card functions perfect in the M3 or not. Or at least I feel that way. Also the M3 Wiki is severely out of date on this size card.

Anyways, on to the main topic here. How well does this SD card function in the M3 with current firmwares (within the past 3 versions)? Doesn't have to be perfect or handle FMV playback perfectly.

Reason?



Best Buy has 2 1GB PNY cards for $40 CAN. Not a rare deal and perhaps is even the standard price right now for this removable media for all I know. Regardless I'd like to pick a pair up tomorrow. Please do not try to persuade me into buying a different product. I will either purchase this or I won't.

Also, if you happen to know how the product preforms in various flash hardware other than the M3, do not hesitate to post your opinion on it. If I purchase another cart later, Ewin 2 sd looks sexy with it's price, I like to know how it functions with what I currently have. But know that I am looking for current, up to date, info.

I use a 512 MB and 1 GB PNY SD card for my M3 and it works fine (haven't tried it on FMVs though like the Castlevania one though)

EDIT: Plus PNY products come with a full lifetime warrenty. $40 USD is the standard for that card but we (Staples) just done with a sale ($10 instant rebate and $10 mail in rebate) so you could get one for $20 USD. Not sure what that translates to in Canadian money but if I'm thinking right, what you got there should be even cheaper.

$40 USD ~ $45 CAD

www.xe.com - international currency converter, for future referrence.

$40 CAD is a good deal for ONE card, so you're getting an excellent deal buying TWO cards for that price! I wouldn't call $40 USD the standard price for one card, but it's close. I'd say it's around $50-55, looking at prices from CC, RS, and WM.

That one is for today only, normal sale price is $39.99. I'll see if I can get there now though!

UPDATE:

Ordered myself the pair for free in-store pickup. :D

Even if these are not good (there is another model of the 1GB PNY SD card), the price is still great and I can always use the SD cards with other equipment.

    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
