4GB MSX-M4GS Memory Stick PRO Duo


If you're on a budget then you better check this 4GB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo deal for $104.99. But of you're on a really tight budget, then here's the offer you should look into. Fry's Outpost, an authorize dealer of Sony Electronics (or so the site claims), is offering the 4GB MSX-M4GS Memory Stick PRO Duo that can be used for your digital camera, portable audio device or PSP for $99.99.

Specs:
  • Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media
  • User area approx 3.66GB
  • Transfer Speed{parallel transfer} 160Mbps (20MB/sec)
  • Minimum Write Speed 15Mbps
  • Reliable digital storage
If you're interested in purchasing this mem stick, you should call to check availability first (1-877-OUTPOST). Just keep in mind that they ship via ground only and it may take 1-2 weeks to arrive. How ironic, the price you pay for a bargain.

Thanks goes out to young271 for the tip!

"User area approx 3.66GB"

When are they going to stop this *****?

Meh, I don't think they want to waste the time to make it exactly 4.0 GB, but it's close enough :

 » I'll stick with Sandisk...

I just bought a sandisk 4GB from bhphotovideo.com for 104.95 after rebate. Sandisk MS Pro Duo's have faster transfer speeds, so I'll stick to Sandisk.

 » The reason for the space difference

To #3:

The reason the actual space you get is less than advertised is because of the way disk space is seen by a computer. Companies market products like this using this method:

1000KB = 1MB

when in reality, the computer sees it like this:

1024KB=1MB

as disks increase in capacity, that difference becomes more and more apparent.

How is that ironic?

Someone should try looking into the european market for the bigger memsticks, it really sucks when the best prices you can get in stores around you is like 90 euros for a 2gb when it's much cheaper in the US/Japan. Importing is no option either due to those damned taxes and shipping fees. Damned economy here...:P

these MS work okay, but remember that the black non-highspeed sony sticks are real slow during transfers.

my fake sandisk 2GB is way faster than my genuine sony black 2GB....

just a warning. it works fine, but write speeds really slow, especially if lots of files i.e. devhook installation

Too bad im from holland.. (Europe)
Some1 got a site where they sell cheap ones, and ship worldwide?

 » thanks #5

i was worried i wasted some money getting it from bhp, but if the transfer rate on the sandisk is better then im glad i paid the extra $30.

Lol yeah..
But hey, if u find the right site you dont have Taxes :D
Like games, go to videogamesplus.ca!! Really cheap, fast delivery (for 5euro's).. And they put a sticker on ur item 'Toy, value 20 dollars'. So no taxes :D

   by randomizable (Unregistered) - 2006-08-05
 » hmm

site looks ok, but how much would 1 canadian dollar be in dollars/euros? (or vice versa) Oh yeah, anyone here from Holland know where I can find a playgear street, every store around here doesn't seel them anymore it seems...

1000 KB = 1MB
1024 KB = 1 MiB

MS and everyone else wrongfully state everything in megabytes (MB) when it should be mebibytes (MiB).

I bought a 1GB stick from Fry's couple weeks ago for $40. I now feel like I've been ripped off. :(

 » rip off

4gb is acutually around 3.72 billion bytes so you are getting 80mb ripped off

 » no longer 129

I added it to my cart and it said 129.99 instead and I went to frys here in San Diego, the same card is 149.99.

 » ????????????

i heard off my local game shop that the psp can only read up to 2 gig at the moment and that sony will eventually bring out a firmware update to allow more memory to be used with the psp like with the psp max hard drive wich is 4 gig.
is this true?

and i would like to know if the speed is dramaticly increased with the 4 gig memory stick due to the dramatic increase in loss of memory because i have a sony 1 gig memory stick with 945 mb free space and and slow write speed and my mates sandisk 1 gig memory stick has got 940 mb of free space and a much faster write speed than.

It's ironic that they only SHIP via GROUND.

Learn to read before implying that the writer is an idiot.
