Gaming-Mspd-2Gb Sandisk today introduced a 2GB Gaming Memory Stick PRO Duo, the latest addition to its line of memory products for gamers. The 2GB card, which is expected to ship in July, will carry a suggested retail price of $349.99. Other capacities in the Memory Stick PRO Duo Gaming Card line range from $39.99 for 128MB to $139.99 for 1GB.

"We've had numerous calls from interested consumers and retailers asking about the availability of our highest-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo cards, and we're working as quickly as possible to put inventory on retail shelves," said Greg Rhine, SanDisk's senior vice president of worldwide sales. "Since the PSP has limited on-board storage, it is generating strong demand for high-capacity flash memory cards for expanded memory, and we expect this situation to continue as the popularity of the PSP spreads globally."

The card, when released, will be available at numerous retailers including Best Buy, Circuit City, EB Games (Electronics Boutique) and GameStop.

Buy two 1GB sticks instead of a big 2GB one. One for movies and the other for game saves and downloads and such.

Less at BB??? Are you kidding, they sell the 1GB at full MSRP of $149.00!! The best prices on the 1GB range from $95 to $109, but NOT ONE SINGLE PLACE has them (as of 5/24/05). We now return you to your regularly scheduled jaw dropping shock... "$349.00! Are you INSANE???" :) -Pie
