8GB PSP Memory Stick priced at $300

$300? $300?!

I can buy the whole damn PSP for that price. Damn Sony and their damn propriety formats.

That being said I have alot of bad things to say about Nintendo and Microsoft.

I don't know about you but I got a sandisk 2GB Pro Duo Card from Amazon a few weeks ago for $30, no joke.

Best price I've seen is a 4gb on sale for $79.99.

Not that I'm getting one, but thank goodness for SanDisk. I bought their 1GB Pro Duo for my Sony camera about a year ago, and I couldn't tell the difference from a Sony branded memory stick. You'd think someone over at Sony would notice their are out pricing themselves.

$300 bucks, SONY is or Crack? What has Ken been giving his people?

Yeah! Another overpriced product from Sony to go with the overpriced PSP.

It's not just for a PSP, so don't complain about the price. When you buy a $8,000 camera that records to these cards, $300 isn't bad.

I bought a Wii and a game for roughly that much.

why do you call it a PSP memory card? It's a PSP memory card second to being a digital camera memory card.

Remember that's where MemoryStick originated and advances first, not for a secondary niche handheld gaming device :P

Oh and the newest largest cards always come out at insane prices, then the price drops like a rock all of a sudden.

"I couldn't tell the difference from a Sony branded memory stick."

That would be because SanDisk is the OEM for memory sticks. The Sony branded sticks are made at a SanDisk factory.

Sony still has the gall to think they can charge higher prices based on their name alone. I guess they think consumers are still living in the 1980's. I think most of us figured out that you have about a 50/50 chance of getting something quality from Sony. (PS1's only working upside down, PS2's failing to play DVDs, not sure what the failure rate on PS3's is but that's quite a gamble for $600!)

LOL... sony have an $8,000 camera? let alone one worth buying? Even after absorbing Konica/Minolta, that'll be the day.

The $900 Alpha is about as good as they'll come from Sony for quite some time.

How fast is it? The reason why memory cards very wildly in price because some are slow as dirt. You pay not only for capacity, but also speed.

I thought the price of a 4GB Memory Stick was to sleep with a hot girl. Isn't that what those PSP commercials are telling us?

8GB SD and CF cards are already down to 1/3 that price.

How long will customers put up with being reamed by this type of proprietary BS.
