Just bought 32GB microSDHC Card for $139

You want to be careful on ebay.
There are ALOT of fake cards out there... ALOT. and thats for all formats.
That one you just linked was a no-name. Probably coming from some cheap knock off operations company in China.

Let me tell you a little story about EBAY and MEMORY CARDS

A few years ago when the PSP was popular they would sell fake MSDuos that looked identical to the real thing, packaging and all. These fakes would either allow a significantly less max capacity once you really filled the things, or they would be 2 smaller cards melded together for piss poor performance. One thing you'll notice if it is a fake is the transfer speed will suck, ( think 20 minutes to transfer 1gb of data) or it will show 32gb available in windows and on the phone, but you will get errors once you try to put over 16 or 20gb of data.

Normally i dont preach about it, but I had a fake memory card CATCH FIRE in my psp. I sent the card back to Sony and they told me it was a counterfeit.


If it sounds too good to be true.. IT IS.. Don't trust your data to just anything because its cheap

Very true. I would never buy any form of memory off eBay unless the seller was in my same state so I could go knock on his door when I found it to be a fake.

I'll be upgrading my card as soon as I find a great deal.

When it comes to memory cards for devices i actually CARE about like my cell phone. I would only buy from a retail operation or a trusted online vendor like amazon or newegg. Not the robot ebay man from taiwan that has 3000 positives.

When it comes to quality memory name brand does count, unless its a company where the community has thousands and thousands of reviews and backbone supporting it.

Too many fakes out there still.

I'm hoping the 32gb cards become more common by the holiday season and prices start coming down.

They wont go down in price until we start seeing 64gb cards released on a retail level. Then supply and demand will shift and they 2gb cards will end up in dollar stores like the 1gbs are now.

Then again by the holidays thats 6 months from now and thats completely possible.

However with MicroSD they are talking about releasing another new format that by theory will be upgradeable to over a Tb in the future.
