Where do you buy a 32GB MicroSD and what company? I want to see it because it looks so interesting. Like wouldn't that mean that an iPod shuffle could go up to like 32GB because the MicroSD is so small. Probably not because it might cost like $150. Kinda worth it if you want the mony.

They've only developed up to 8GB microSDHCs so far, at least that's what I see. There are plans from memory companies such, notably Sandisk, I believe, which entail the manufacturing of 16 GB cards in the near future.

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

$14 shipped.

Kingston MicroSD 2GB x2 - $14 (shipped)
Sweet, I didn't know they had good deals for double packs or whatever they're called.

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.

Ahaha. Damn MSRPs lol.

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
Thanks, updated. I would assume it is real, since Newegg is selling it.

The A-Data 4GB class 6 at Newegg is back up to 14.99USD with free shipping.
Why must Newegg tempt me with these deals!?!? Hot for anybody residing within the US, and needing a 4giger.

What are MSRPs? I didn't buy my 2GB from there. I bought my MicroSD with my flashcarts. $15 for the 2GB and $30 for the 4GB (refer to my signature).

It's only cheap on the internet (sadly

).
But serious, 2GB for $80 is like hArKoRe rip-off. You could get like 8GB for that price (if not cheaper).

Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price

I assume that's why stores sell things for such a ridiculous amount.

For those in the US that still have a CompUSA in their area, they have a 8GB Class 4 for $45usd in stock right now. I just put one in my AceKard2 and have had no problems with it at all. 8GB is a lot of space. I have a lot of stuff on this thing.

Also, CompUSA is owned by TigerDirect so they carry the same sd card although it's a bit more expensive:

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
