[quote name='get_loud']Yeah, this is no deal unless you reside in a dimension called reality, have a job, need one, don't spend your life bitching about things constantly on forums, and last but not least, want to save $20.[/QUOTE]
wow, calmate dude. he's saying that he hates the fact that $80 is considered "deal" for what is standard, cheap, modern technology. And the fact that I have a job makes me even more upset; why spend hardearned money on overpriced items?
I think you're alone here when you say that $80 isn't too much for a micro sd card with "Sony" slapped on it.
And what's wrong with complaining? If it weren't for speaking out, then companies continue to get away with it. Imagine a land full of you's; Sony would price it at $200 and tell you to stop crying about it.
Speaking out against unethical corporate practices - including price gouging - is called being a valuable consumer. Telling people to shut up every time they have a complaint? Sounds like communism to me.
