Cheapest place for Micro SD cards?

Desmo · 20-09-2006, 11:41

Need to get a Micro SD card for my NDS Supercard and was wondering where the cheapest might be.

I'd prefer a 2GB card but they're bloody pricey righ now at £60 odd.
1GB I can find for £23. Anywhere cheaper right now?

I might grab a 1GB now and then wait for the 2GB to come down in price.

My mum's visiting from the US in about a week's time - she could probably get a 2GB SD for $90. That's from BestBuy and they're usually quite good on prices. Any good?

Edit: Hang on, micro SD? Let me check...

Damn, can't find a 2GB. 1GB is $45.

Cheapest I can find is also about £60 :/

I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but make sure the card is formatted as FAT, not FAT32 or you'll just get a white screen when you try to boot the DS.

Nope you didn't

But now I know

Anyhow, it all turned up this morning but I think I'm going to send back the Supercard and get the Supercard Lite that I should have ordered in the first place (although I didn't see it at the time :/). Although my bro-in-law might take the Supercard off me so I don't have to worry about sending it back

I've really got to get round to sorting out my sd card reader :/

Sorry, but LOL@ Belmit's sig. How random.

Desmo · 20-09-2006, 12:16

Aye, I think the 2GB have only just come out hence the high prices :/
Think I'll jsut stick with a 1GB for now. Cheers for the offer of a US purchase, but will probably just order one up for £23 odd

On another note, your sig pic looks really familiar. We print menus all day long and I swear I recognise that. Any idea where it came from?

It's from the website of that woman who did the 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' book, regarding punctuation causing misinterpretations of things.

Ah right....there's just something soooo familiar about it, hehe.
