Linky

most places is around 60 for the sandisk version. Was tempted to order 2....

 

[Mongals]

Which pro duo brand is not so good, was it lexar or Sandisk?

 

[kki000]

oh man, it looks like lexar's are the ones that have problems. Will work with most apps it looks like, but has problems with some plugins used for oe firmware.

Link? These cards are useless for OE owners?

 

[AkumaX]

no they're not useless (using the same one right now)

they have problems when you try loading ISOs DIRECTLY FROM YOUR PC. they have no problems if you put the ISO on the mem stick itself.

<- 3.30 oe-a'

Directly from the PC? Like off the HD? I've never even heard of people doing that...

well, yeah, you can do that

 

[whitelight]

great price. in for one!

 

[RideFree]

Not a Thread crap as I will probably do this myself (unless I talk myself into holding out for the 8GB).
ClubIt has a number of the 4GBs close to this price range...
Like this Adata for $33.99

Is it just me or does that link to a....4GB USB memory STICK? We're discussing Pro DUO memory cards here.

OP - Good price! What's the speeds on this though? My 2GB one from Sandisk seems a bit slow.

 

[AkumaX]

i ran HD Tach Mem Test on it and it was doing 17mb/s sustained (compared to my Sony Original 4gb Duo @ 10mb/s)

 

[skywhr]

ordering 1 now, i have a psp and i want to use it more than i have lately. what are the cool mods and sh!t you can do to make it more user friendly?

I'm lost, in order to put the iso on the mem stick isn't it coming from the PC?

With the right firmwares and usb software, you can load and play ISOs directly off your PC hardrive through the USB cable without the ISO being on your memory stick in the psp.

Why would you want to play an iso from the pc on your psp?

Just got mine a few minutes ago and popped it in my Sony DSC-W55.

So far, it works great. Can take a whopping 1100 pictures at 7mp, 3 hours of video at 640x480std and about an hour of video at 640x480hq.

Looks like you're out of luck if you didn't already order, though... price has gone back up.

It is still same price but now you have to deal with $25 rebate to get at $39.99

 

[EKKC]

should wait it out if you not in a hurry. last great deal was $30 or 40 without rebate
