Sony today announced the launch of the 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, doubling the available recording space on the compact Memory Stick media.

True to its multimedia credentials, the Memory Stick can store a large range of entertainment files, including more than 19 hours of MPEG-4 video for playback on a PSP (recorded at 768kbps), approximately 3000 digital photos with 10 Megapixel resolution (in Standard mode setting) or up to 2000 MP3 songs with an average length of 4 minutes (recorded at 128kbps).

Robust and capable of operating in extreme working conditions, the product includes a 5 year warranty for peace of mind. In addition, free file rescue software can be downloaded from www.sonydigital-link.com/memstick/ enabling quick recovery of photographs and other files which may have been lost or deleted. All Memory Stick PRO Duo media come complete with a standard size Memory Stick adaptor. Customers can refer to www.sonydigital-link.com/memstick/ for the latest compatibility information.

The 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (MSX-M8GS) will be available from the beginning of February 2007.
 
Lol ye 2GB is around R1400 so maybe 8GB is around R6-7000!:eek: :eek:
 
This memory stick will give my SE P990i double the storage capacity of the Nokia N91. Scary. My phone will become a mp3 jukebox! :eek:
 
mmm... sounds good! Let's hope the price sounds good too ;)
 
Yes, I also want to know where you got a 2GB Pro Highspeed for R400!! :eek:
 
I'll post it here for everyone to see:

It comes from Germany, takes 7 days, R375 + R25 Shipping

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS DONE WITH THIS BIDORBUY SELLER. I HAVE ONLY TRANSACTED WITH HIM ONCE BEFORE AND OFFER THIS INFORMATION AS A GOOD GESTURE TO FELLOW FORMITES. I ACCEPT NO LIABILITY SHOULD YOUR TRANSACTION WITH HIM NOT WORK OUT AS PLANNED. I AM NOT CONNECTED TO THE BIDORBUY SELLER IN ANY WAY!!!

Sorry for that big message, just protecting myself. I just searched on Bidorbuy for Memory Stick Duo and chose the cheapest 2GB one. There are also 4Gb cards for sale (around R850)

Got one in Ireland for R600, Sandisk, I reckon R400 is a bit low, although not impossible given how computer parts drop in value over relatively short periods of time
 
I also bought a 2gb one from BidorBuy for R450 (new). Not the same seller as advertised here, but haven't had any problems with it. Definitely not the fake one.
 
I got a 2Gb for R750 (Feb '06) but when shopping around I saw Incredible Connection had them R1400 so thats where I got my price from, I doubt Sony can sell the 8Gb for over R2000.
We'll wait and see!:D

how do you know? If you paid R450 for a 2GB High Speed it IS fake. Look here, 2GB high speed sells for USD200 =R1500 in the USA, there is no way in hell that you're going to get it for less than a third of that price. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...tickMedia_MemoryStickProDuomedia&Dept=cameras

For your info here is an article that explains the method of identifying fakes.
