Hacking microSD Deals

[miketh2005]

A-DATA comes with a Lifetime Warranty. So I'm not really worried, and it's not cheaper, you forgot the shipping.

buy.com has Kingston 2GB microSD for $6.99 w/ free shipping now. LINK
Ridiculously hot. Man, I wish I had a US address lol.

Kingston is no longer made in Japan!!!

i just got a kingston 2GB microSD - and its clearly labeled made in Taiwan.
Just a heads up - not sure how this is going to affect the random access speed. So far i haven't noticed a real difference. Even with my Japanese Kingston - i noticed some lag in Zelda, and Lunar Knights.

maybe i need to pay more attention to the memory Class
Um, did it say Made in Taiwan on the packaging? Because my 2GB Kingston said that, but on the microSD, it said SD-C02G Japan I think.

So maybe they repack microSDs or something?

Yes I do need more than 4 GB.

8GB $26

In the distant future, 8GB on a microSD will be the standard. Just watch

Don't forget about the 4GB Transcend Class 6 at NewEgg. This card doesn't have the problems that plague the A-Data and it costs less!!

I don't know much about microSDHCs, so I'm not sure why Class 6 > Class 4 or how to choose a brand. If anyone had any links, or could post a topic about buying microSDHCs, I'd be glad to link to it.

That warranty doesn't do much for Cyclo owners who have issues with the performance of the A-Data. You can save on shipping by choosing "Egg Saver" in your shopping cart. Ended up being roughly $2.50 for me. $16 shipped for a 4GB card is a no brainer.

UPDATE: Google Docs is very very useful.

Enjoy the more organized version in the first post.

I have Amazon Prime so I found a 2GB Kingston for 14$ shipped, the A-Data should work fine, it's 6 Class and SDHC, I don't see why it should have problems, if it does im sure I can send it back.

I don't know about Transcend, but it's $9.40 at Amazon right now. 4GB Class 6 MicroSDHC. Click.

EDIT: Oh gawd it pulled a fast one, it's $16~ now.

Did you manage to get one? That would have been a pretty hot deal. Too bad they seemed to notice their pricing error lol.

It's back at $9.40 again. It probably just fluctuates from time to time, but the price is just about right.

$16.76 again....

Haha, yeah, it fluctuates. I've noticed that it's 9.40 for a certain timeframe up to 9:00 P.M.

I don't know how long the whole $16~ thing goes, so I might check every other hour or so.

 

[Balrogs.Pain]

Wow, a 4 GB that only costs 10 bucks?! Damn thats a great deal! im def. getting that!

 

[miketh2005]

it costs 7$ for shipping, the 6.99 2GB is better!

 

[Diffusion]

it costs 7$ for shipping, the 6.99 2GB is better!

But it's not even in stock yet, and knowing Buy.com it can take anywhere from 1 week to 1 month.

 

[PanzerWF]

Since Google Docs isn't as um, solid as Excel is, I've decided to also provide the original Excel file for anyone who wants it.

Damn, I want that 4GB Transcend. Time to camp that site lol.

Nice deal, thanks. Updated.

Just got a 2-pack of Kingston 2GB MicroSD (made in Japan) straight from their site.

$14 shipped.

Kingston MicroSD 2GB x2 - $14 (shipped)

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

Wow. I never knew there were such good deals.

One of the worst deals I've seen. I went to the mall one day. I looked in a small business electronic store. I found some MicroSD. Kingston (Supposedly, Japan) ($CDN)
1GB-$20
2GB-$40
4GB-$50
I was like that's too expensive, then the guy agreed with me.

 

[KendiKong]

I heard that ADATA doesnt have an 8GB 6 Class card, but i see this....

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820211341

It's real right?

Also, there's a reason why most of these bargains are all transcend and kingston cards....

Also, I'm pretty sure the 6GB Sandisk bulk package does include the adapter

 

[TheWingless]

The A-Data 4GB class 6 at Newegg is back up to 14.99USD with free shipping.

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

I can't believe there is a 6GB MicroSD.
