Guest xenophobe Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Those are SD prices, not MiniSD prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonbratt99 Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 oh well, bump it to the top i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I don't really see why anyone would pay 99 pounds for a 1GB card and 35 pounds for 512 when the rest of Europe is selling miniSD for prices roughly equivalent to the normal SD-prices. Since (mini)SD 512 sells for about 55 euros and SD 1GB for 80 euros a normal price for 1GB miniSD would also be around 80 euros (roughly 58 GB pounds). Lots of places in Europe advertise prices like these but none actually have them in stock. Anyone can advertise something they don't have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I don't really see why anyone would pay 99 pounds for a 1GB card ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cos I wanted it now from a supplier I could trust MobyMemory did me proud BTW and I would certainly recommend them, but if (like Exploited) you can wait a bit for one from Europe or for the SanDisk ones then you'll almost certainly save some money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest westleyl Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 UPDATE >> Microdia site now has option to select the 2Gb card for resellers to buy 100 pcs http://www.microdia.com/corp/jsp/splash/pr...11100&pcode=102 Anyone reselling these in the UK yet ? Liam Westley FYI: Company claiming to have 2Gb mini-SD soon. Check out the launch poster (OK - marketing stuff); the mini-SD card has 2Gb written on it. Story on engadget, http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000050024726/ leads you to the web site, http://www.microdia.com with the launch poster. Hopefully a relase like this might force the 1Gb price down - or allow us to have 2Gb cards by the end of the year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swampie Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I just ordered a 512MB miniSD from Crucial UK for £31.71 inc VAT and (free) delivery. Completely forgot to check whether it came with an adaptor though! Don't know if you can find them cheaper elsewhere though. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looky here... due in w/c 18.04.05* It will be interesting to see if they actually get them. So far everyone advertising at low prices have failed to receive stock (including xlshop in the past) I think there is a wholesaler who is messing them arround but who knows? Maybe they will receive them this time which would be good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Confucious Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Cool - £93, thats a lot of wonger though. No one else has had them in at ANY price - it's easy to advertise something for thrupence if you don't have it in stock. AFAIK Moby are the only people to have actually suplied 1Gb cards.
