2GB Sandisk MS Pro Duo Thread

[delahmed]

The 2GB is starting to be advertised online (e.g froogle it..) but it is not in stock anywhere because SANDISK have not released them yet (today being 2 Sept 2005).

We know that SANDISK are much better than SONY pro duo performance wise so this topic does not refer to the extortionate SONY 2GB pro duo.

This thread is about finding which retailers offer the cheapest deals for 2GB SANDISK MS pro duo and which have them IN STOCK more importantly over the coming months.

I am from the UK, so UK online prices are more than welcome, however i think they will be cheaper abroad even including p+p. Everyone throw in thier 2 cents...as this is a global thread.

Also if anyone would like to shed some light in terms of read / write speeds, performance, pros and cons, etc of:
- Standard pro duo (solid blue) (http://www.sandisk.com/images/pr/mspd-2gb.jpg)
- Gaming pro duo (transparent blue) (http://www.blueunplugged.com/dbimgs/gaming-mspd-2gb-med.jpg)
- Ultra II pro duo (black) (http://www.sandisk.com/images/pr/ultra2-mspd-2gb.jpg)
(click on the links for the images)

Worldwide release dates would be useful for the 3 cards too...

Let the bargain hunting and technical comparisons begin...
