Courtesy of HokieTT at the IGN PSP boards. Not a ton better than the best price we've seen, but still it is the best. I'd expect even lower prices in the coming months, but if you need one (or two) now...

jee only?

whats the max capacity in theory for pro duo? i.e. what size has been announced for availability sometime this year?

I've got a 1 and a 0.5GB card, so I'm done now until they bring out larger ones.

I'm waiting to see what happens when we get closer to the PSP release. However I will splurge instantaneously if I see a very good deal a good week or two beforehand.

1GB in my opinion is a bare minimum for this thing. Unless of course all you need to do is simply save your games and listen to a couple of MP3s.

A better question would be why do I only get like 468MB out of my 512MB sandisk duo pro card? I even formated it on my PSP and still, 468MB

Damn, one for my SE P800 and one for my PSP, grand. Stupid out of stock.

you always get less than what you pay for..there is built in software on the thing taking up memory. However when you pay for a 512mb stick..you'd think you'd get more than what your saying. BLAME SONY.

What's the cheapest available today, for us mere mortals only wanting one? Or maybe I should wait until the PSP actually is available?

Thank the wonderfull world of DRMing. Standard practice on flash media with copy protection (SD cards do this nasty thing too).
