Thank you for posting this deal, my brother just lost his and I need it a replacement
Does somebody have experience using that website?

[Mafiacrooks]

Total ripoff Slick Deals....

[Zen Rukasu]

Thank you for posting this deal, my brother just lost his and I need it a replacement
Does somebody have experience using that website?Ah, the reviews of the site are pretty positive so.... I'll try it.

[GunPanther]

Adorama?

Holy heck, that store is 115% legit.

I ordered my camera rig from them and they are TRUE professionals at their craft, which is first and foremost being a photography/video enthusiast specialty store.

How comfortable was I when I bought from them? A good friend of mine, who is a professional photographer, has been shopping with Adorama for the past 15 years. No complaints from him.

That's when I decided that Adorama was THE store to buy my camera rig from, not only because of their reputation, but because their prices were the most competitive as well.

I've spent over $2500.00 at Adorama and I've always been satisfied with the products and their service. Seriously, Adorama is totally legit. Have no worries.

[gamerdogbert]

They had this same card at this price on BF. I had a backorder on it, and I just rec'd the shipping notice yesterday. So they are definitely in stock again.

[Zaylex]

Do these work on PSP's?

Edit- Nevermind, just checked and yeah they do work for PSP. I went ahead and bought it. Thanks a million for posting this.

[Rodster]

Thanks OP ordered two. :)

[anubis20]

Got one for my Alpha, thanks OP

[nightmare452]

Got one for my PSP so I can put both PS1 FF games + other stuff.

Thanks op.

[pitflyer]

In for 1 with BCB and Google Checkout. Hope it doesn't take as long as those folks who ordered on BF.

[AwRy108]

In for one, thanks OP. Gonna have to find someone to sell my two 4GB cards to.

SIDE NOTE: anyone else wanna barf when they tally up how much they've spent on Memory Sticks over the last decade? I know I do...

[shumway]

In for 1. Thanks!

[Icehearted]

In for one, thanks OP. Gonna have to find someone to sell my two 4GB cards to.

SIDE NOTE: anyone else wanna barf when they tally up how much they've spent on Memory Sticks over the last decade? I know I do...

Holy fuck yes! I remember my very first memory card was a whopping 128 megabytes for my Toshiba e310, fucking thing cost me about $40. Now I've got a bunch of little microsd and a few mem-sticks pro duo laying around.

Ah well, at least now my PSP will hold a respectable amount of music and vids.

Edit: Oh, and thanks OP, nice deal!

when the PSP came out I spent $150 on a 1GB :shock: nuff said

[aosora13]

Bought one. I kind of was on the fence but this is cheaper than one I bought (4gb) for $13. This is a better buy. Thanks!

[AwRy108]

when the PSP came out I spent $150 on a 1GB :shock: nuff said

Yeah, this is what I was remembering: I think I waited a bit, but I still spent like $80-90 on a 1GB stick, which has since become basically useless and is buried in some junk drawer. Makes me want to wretch... :drool:

[Pyloric]

Amazon is now matching their price :)

Edit: Looks like it is actually being fulfilled by Adorama.

[chunlirocks]

Ima in for one. Thankizzle.

Woot Woot Raise ur fucking hands in the air

:bouncy:

Woot
Woot!

[X-GOUKI]

Thank OP, I got one for my psp :)

[Blumpkin]

Great find OP. Like everybody else I just ordered one for my PSP.

[BluePotato]

Amazon is now matching their price :)

[anubis20]

I got shipping notification already :mrgreen:

[nightmare452]

I got shipping notification already :mrgreen:

Got the same here.

[Hydro2Oxide]

Anyone know how long this'll last? I intend on getting a PSP after christmas and don't want to have to commit to it by buying this.

[kosmos13x]

Just ordered mine. Thanks OP. I'm pretty sure this stick is faster than the regular sandisk ones (but not the Ultra and up). Been using my regular sandisk 4gb for years so this is a steal for me!

[2&2]

Thank Op. In for one.

[mr_bungle]

Well, seeing as I just bought a PSP, I'll need one. I can get a 2GB for 10 at Best Buy or 8GB for 15...no brainer. Thanks OP.

[Ryouko]

I got this on Black Friday for the same price, and it just shipped yesterday. XD So apprently they must have gotten a big batch in.

[SneakyPenguin]

What the crud, when I add it to my cart and go to checkout the price jumps to $17.95.

[rhughes]

For those of you who already own this product.... Does the card have to be formatted or does it come pre-formatted and ready to use for the PSP?

Thanks in advance.

[nightmare452]

Thanks in advance.

I think it works as is. No need for formatting. I could be wrong but either way it should be a problem. My last 2 PSP cards, all I did was put them on my PSP and they were ready to go (at least one of em was Lexar I think, not 100% sure, sorry, memory is off today).

[Aesprinto]

What the crud, when I add it to my cart and go to checkout the price jumps to $17.95.

Same here... Heh, well, the product page does say "$14.95 before $-3.00 savings," so maybe that means they're applying a negative discount of three dollars. Bravo, e-commerce!

[dallow]

The 16GB card was $39 so I went for it. Got Bing CB too.

[Rodster]

The 16GB card was $39 so I went for it. Got Bing CB too.

$14.95 x 2 = $29.90

That beats $39 every time even with Bing CB. :)

[Rodster]

Amazon is now matching their price :)

Edit: Looks like it is actually being fulfilled by Adorama.

But Adorama is charging $4.53 for shipping buying it thru Amazon. It's FS buying it directly from Adorama. ;)

[dallow]

$14.95 x 2 = $29.90

That beats $39 every time even with Bing CB. :)
I know, but the extra 6 bucks is worth not worrying about losing another little sliver of plastic.
Plus, I hate swapping (and keeping track of which saves are on what card). :)

Cool, see your point.

[j0ey0ey]

does this work with psp go?

[MICHAE2414]

does this work with psp go?
Nope...this memory stick works on all PSPs EXCEPT the go. You can grab a 4GB MS Micro from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00107AO58), though, for $16.

[j0dy77]

What the crud, when I add it to my cart and go to checkout the price jumps to $17.95.

I have the same issue, it looks like it is mirroring the same price as Amazon. Can anyone confirm if this deal is still live?

[Frankski]

In for 2 -- Thanks OP

[kosmos13x]

Just an update. Ordered on Tuesday afternoon and it looks like it is going to arrive tomorrow! That is great fast service for a free 7-10 day shipping schedule that was stated on the site. Will buy from that company again if the opportunity ever comes again.

[Izod517]

That's good to hear the last 3 things I ordered from this site were out of stock... Two of which were MS Pro Duo deals.

[ZerotypeX]

Looks like it is $17.95 now, which isnt too bad

[Interfeci]

I remember paying $100 for a 2GB way back when, thinking it was a deal.

I already have all my memory sticks, though. Still a good deal.

[mr_bungle]

Anyone remember the Giga Pack PSP? Came with a 1GB memory stick, that was a lot of memory back then, lol.

[dallow]

How's that? I got a USPS tracking number which of course, is slow to update and doesn't show when it will come in.

[bigdaddybruce44]

I paid over $100 for a 1GB memory stick in '05.

[jchoi]

How's that? I got a USPS tracking number which of course, is slow to update and doesn't show when it will come in.

I'm in Dallas as well, and the two orders from Adorama I got earlier this month both took 7-10 days through USPS. I would expect your order to get in January 4th at the earliest.

Ha, thanks for the tip.

[kosmos13x]

It ships from NY i believe so it all depends on your location.

Just got my package about an hour ago. For those with psp and concern with speeds and such here are my findings:

My results using black speed v2.0 test

Here is the Lexar 8gb Plat II (Mark 2 branded) card:

read : 1.1987 MiB/sec (Blocksize 0.5k)
write : 0.3894 MiB/sec (Blocksize 0.5k)
PI: 508

Notice that they were both 1/2-3/4 full so it's not a fresh card (fresh results were similar though). Looks like the new Mark2 branded lexars took a little bit of a hit on read speeds but are still acceptable (to me). The plus side is that it is a 150% improvement over the sandisk gaming. Overall with read and write speeds near 10Mbps, I'm pretty happy with the price vs speed ratio.

No plugin issues.

[rhughes]

You mentioned the dip in read speed have your noticed any performance issues due to this with your PSP?

[kosmos13x]

Nope everything is playing just as fast as my other stick. I think for 99% of the time read speeds for the psp won't matter as it may come down to maybe up to a second longer load time if the stick is really slow. I'm betting we are talking ms difference in actual performance between my lexar and sandisk that I have (at least it seams that way since I can't tell a difference). Btw I'm using cfw 5.00 m33-6 fyi.

[AwRy108]

Got mine today, seems to work quite well--I've already filled it to the brim with music :-)

[tfr]

i couldn't figure out what is inside this mysterious flat mail until i open it because i don't even remember buying this thing. :lol:

[salbah3ng_bata]

Mine shipped already, but I live on the West Coast so I probably won't be getting it til next week

[nightmare452]

Just received mine today after 2 days of ordering it and already filled the 8GB with PSP movies and games. Great deal.

[Justin42]

Got mine today on the west coast, pretty impressed overall with the service, although I haven't tried to use the stick yet (today's been nuts).

[Tengaport]

I'm in for one - my 4GB is packed to the brim. nearly $20 shipped for me, but still a good deal. I am another one who purchased a 1GB card for nearly $100 way back when... amazing, right?

[jetsaredim]

Just to chime in here. This place is completely legit. I ordered 12/22 when the deal was posted and had the memory card in hand on 12/24 - and that was with the free shipping.

[Zen Rukasu]

Got mine yesterday as well.

Ah, It's good to have memory!

[rhughes]

So, I got the PSP 3000 Gran Turismo entertainment bundle with the Sony 2GB card and decied to use the 'UMD Install' feature of GT as the game projected it took about 15 minutes. I decided to upgrade my memory card to this Lexar model when I went to use the 'UMD install' feature again it took about 40 minutes to write to this memory card.

I thought that in theory the bundled sony card and this lexar version should be very comparable in speed.

Has anybody else noticed any problems/performance issues with this card in their psp?

Thanks,

[JTHuffy]

wow, i got mine on 12/24 but i ordered it before black friday (it did say it was backordered). i was in no rush for it so i had no complaints, since i did get it!

[sark45]

I got mine also, Now i just need a PSP to use it :)

[Rodster]

I ordered on the 22nd and received it on Sat. the 26th. These guys rock ! 8-)

That's not so much a brand issue. Bigger Pro Duo's just take longer.

[bmachine]

Looks like it $17.95 now with free shipping.

That's still a really good price, right?

[mr_bungle]

absolutely. these things are easily 50 bucks at best buy.

[jd2k9]

So for the free shipping choose po box correct? because all the other shipping we have to pay for..

[jd2k9]

only downside is 7-10 days sucks..

[kosmos13x]

depends where you live at. My 7-10 day shipping only took 2-3 days heh. They ship out from NY I Believe.

[jd2k9]

Ah ok cool. I am hoping by monday or so. I live in Chicago.

[ryosnk]

Thank op.

[JJSP]

Girlfriend just bought an 8GB from Amazon (through J&R) for $22 - kind of wish I'd seen this sooner. Oh well.

[Berri]

Thank you, op! I got it for $17.95 + free 7-10 day shipping. I just recently got a PSP, so this is a great deal!

[Niwen Starfire]

Thanks for the deal, I just ordered two. I have need of the space for my PSPs :)

[Dahk]

Sorry in advance for the newbishness.

I just recently got a PSP. As a matter of fact its still in the box. What are these memory sticks used for? Saving games? What else?

I have a 2 GB that game in the Hannah Montana bundle. About how many game files will that save?

I'm just deciding on whether I need one of these. Thanks guys.

[SchumiF1]

Been looking to get a bigger card for my PSP. It's been full for awhile lol. And this is a ton of memory for cheap! Thanks for the link!

[jererjerer]

well...for just game saves, you wouldn't need a whole lot-case in point, my 1 gig stick still has over 80% free after putting on what I need for saving for the 20+ games I have (and I am also a huge save guy-so go figure)
However, if you want to use it for some other purposes, i.e. the other multimedia features of the PSP, video/music-well, that's anybody's guess

[jjoplinfan]

Just ordered one. Too bad I missed it at $14.95, but $17.95 is still cheap for this. I've been thinking about picking one up at Staples when they were on sale for $20 for a 4GB....glad I waited! Thanks, OP!

I also went through bing shopping for 3% back....every little bit helps!

[placebo1]

i couldn't figure out what is inside this mysterious flat mail until i open it because i don't even remember buying this thing. :lol:
I had the exact same reaction. WTH is this flat mailer? *tear open* Oh yeah , I forgot I pulled the trigger on that one. :mrgreen:

[BackInBlack]

In for 1! Plan on getting a PSP very soon so this is a great deal! I hope it doesn't take forever to ship.

[bigdaddybruce44]

2GB is fine for game saves, music, and photos. I got a bunch of saves, a couple of PS1 games, like 50 songs, and some pictures on my 1GB with a little room to spare. If you want to start putting large videoes or dump your entire music folder, though, you'll want something bigger.

[menewbe]

thanks OP. I got one for $18

[shrike4242]

Picked up one for a new digital camera I'm supposed to be getting from Sony.

I've ordered from them before, never been an issue.

[glemtvapen]

It's now $35, unfortunately I missed it. :cry:

Anyone know other sites that sell 8gb stick under $20 w/ S/H?

[dallow]

Very happy with the 16GB I ordered.
Fits half my game collection, so I should be good for the other half when I actually unseal them.

[RLaidEPeas]

Can anybody confirm that this 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo is not compatible with the 60GB Playstation 3? I cannot get my PS3 to detect it.

[jchoi]

You may want to try reformatting it in your computer first.

[RLaidEPeas]

You may want to try reformatting it in your computer first.

Thanks. My computer does not have a MSPD drive and I don't have a PSP handy. Is the PS3 capable of formatting it? If not, can I just buy a USB adapter to have my PC read it and forward it that way?

[ravens52bears54]

I guess the deal is dead now because it's showing $34.95 for me.

[maximumzero]

Time to move onto the next best thing.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ejceZH89L.jpg (http://www.amazon.com/PhotoFast-CR-5400-MicroSD-Adapter-Dual/dp/B001I0T92Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262157809&sr=8-2)

And then pick up a pair of 4GB MicroSDs.

[danny51990]

hey maximumzero thanks for showing me this. now i can get like a 32gb for my psp for less than a 16gb card
