<EDIT> Please stay away from these sellers as they have been verified to be selling fake pro duos. I have not deleted everything only so that people can know who to look out for when buying pro duos. Other sellers selling at this extremely low price on amazon and other places are probably similar.

Thanks to pimpinc333 for giving us the info.

if you have purchased at any time a pro duo at a heavily heavily discounted price.

Check out seller [yoyowoods] or [digitalmediaoutlet].

They both seem to have great feedback concerning the Sony memory stick. Seems reliable.

I'm probably going to pick one up myself.

New lower price. Yeah I know all the downsides of it but hey just putting it out there for those who really want one now. As of right now, I don't think there is much of a better deal for it.

I think my friend bought from digitalmediaoutlet like 2 weeks ago for $74. Seems like sellers are cutthroat at amazon makerplace, and prices are going down.

the price will only get lower with the 4GB MS.

Thanks, I just ordered one from digitalmediaoutlet (a few dollars more than yoyowoods, but digitalmediaoutlet's feedback rating is much better) for $72 after shipping. I hope I get it in a timely fashion, and it's not a fake.

If you are going to buy a Pro Duo, don't go with Sony. I believe Gamestop did tests between the two brands and Sandisk ended up being faster.

Yeah I'd even suggest people get the Ultra II since it isn't much more and has a lifetime warranty.

Sony MS Pro Duo's only have a 1 year warranty, while Sandisk have either 5 year or lifetime warranty.

If you are going to buy a Pro Duo, don't go with Sony. I believe Gamestop did tests between the two brands and Sandisk ended up being faster.

Gamestop or Gamespot?

Hmm, this is very tempting, but I think I will hold off until the 4gb sticks come out...

Took the words right outa my mouth.

There is a very good chance these are FAKE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviews say the package is in Japanese, so who knows who the supplier is.

Even the fake ones work, just not as well, so early reviews by the casual user can't always be trusted.

Yeah, I was just going to say that. Most likely these are fakes. Here's a real good comparison on real vs. fake Sony sticks:

While most of the fake ones work, they are built poorly and sometimes don't fit in and out of the memory card slot. Also, some 2gb sticks will actually only have 1gb of space on them.

I'd stay away from these.

however you still have warranty, so if something goes wrong you can get a new (non fake one)

Actually, another problem with the fake sticks is that they don't come with any warranty card or information. So you're pretty much stuck with a fake if it breaks on you.

Well I checked out this yoyowoods' feedback and seems to have nearly 500, with a few negatives. After reading the negatives, they don't relate except for one in which a guy was complaining about the shipping used by the guy. I figured it would be safe enough because one person has to realize that it doesn't hold the right amount or is super slow out of all the people that bought it.

I guess this is a warning though in case you are seriously interested in it.

I bought from YoYoWooods back on the 6th and even with expedited shipping I still haven't gotten my 2GB stick yet. If these are in fact fake sticks I will be contacting the seller for a full refund. I'll let you guys know who it goes since I know the difference between real and fake.

O No. Now oyu guys got me worried lol. I should have it by tomorrow. I'll let you guys know then.
