That seems like a lot for me. Am I wrong? Are 4gb cards kind of a... can't think of the word... and extravegance? Because 2gb cards are like $20.

Well that's how it always goes.

Be careful guys for those that are thinking of using this on any Wii's and older digital cameras or card readers. Seems that SDHC are not backward compatible with standard SD devices. Tried one on the Wii and it didnt recognize it. Perhaps another firmware upgrade would do it. Anyhoo, the max standard SD cards are 2gig. Anything higher you'd have to have an SDHC compatible device.
What's the read/write speed on those?

A couple of odd things about this:
The description on Costco.com says it's SDHC, but the card in the photo just says SD, doesn't have the SDHC logo. There are 4 GB SD cards, so it's possilble - just may not meet the SDHC spec.
Going along with this, the description says it's 60x. SDHC cards are not speed rated in this way; they're rated Class 2, 4 or 6. There is nothing about the speed rating on the card in the photo. 60x = 9 MB/s, which is higher than even Class 6.

Nintendo's official site says that the Wii only supports SD cards upto 2 gig. I don't think 4 gig cards will work with it.
Plus I bought a 2 gig AData SD card recently from meritline.com for $22 shipped. Works well so far.

4GB, that's a little over the top. SD's are getting pretty cheap. I remember buying a 512 for around $50 a couple yrs ago.
