Has anyone tested that 4GB 150x MobyMemory card?

http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?p...RY%5F4096%5F001

£51.99

What is the best deal for a GP2X system? I live in the US, btw. I saw the Lik-Sang deal for $150, but now the price is higher and it's on back-order.

heres a special offer for supposedly 1 week only on 1gb sd cards HERE

Would be very interested to know if anyone has tested any of these "no-brand" cards, as I see they've got a 4 Gig one for 43.95 GBP.

US: 4GB Ritek SD card, no speed rating on it (it may be slow): $60+$5 shipping, however there is a combo with a almost free case as well: you pay like $1.30 more shipping. Seems like a nice deal

Was about to order... but they are out of stock. So instead...



I've ordered one of these *really* cheap 4gb cards from 7dayshop. Fingers crossed the inevitable slow speed won't have too nasty consequences. I'll update once I've received...

ALDI has 4xAA @ 2100 mah for £1.99, I bought a few packs.

(They also have 4xAAA @ 750 mah, 2xC & 2xD @ 3500 mah and 1x9v @ 200mah. All for £1.99)

They also have a charger for about 3 quid but it's so weak it's not worth bothering with, it'd take a whole day to charge.

Just wondered how you got on with the 4gb cards.

Price drop + review (I am reposting mostly because of the review)= $58 + $5 shipping. However, as feared someone thought to post a 1 out of 5 because it was extremely slow. Keep that it mind.

Buy.com has a 1GB Simpletech SD card for $5 if you buy it through Google Checkout and send in a $15 rebate.

And here's the rebate form. http://ak.buy.com/buy_assets/retail/pdfs/0...mpletech002.pdf

It arrived in the post yesterday but was busy so I didn't get a chance to take it out of the envelope... But will use it at the weekend and give an update.

Update:

Its a 'KeyMem' card with claimed speed of 133x. The impression from a quick google is that the memory is Samsung, which is promising. Not really sure if there is much noticeable difference between speeds of 150 and 133 but that is the only 'down-side'. To be honest, I was preparing myself for a x60, so this is pretty good.

The really important news is that it really is a 4gb card (no ebay vendor fun and games), easily readable by all my card readers inc my laptops built in card reader, and that I used it to do a firmware upgrade w/o any problems (the same can't be said of my 1gb integral card).

So far it seems like a good purchase - not sure if I should have held out for a 150 speed card. I'm also looking for a utility to actually test the speed of a card - read, write and I guess deletion will all be different. But for the money, not sure you can go wrong. Especially as I have some long flights coming up... time to load it up ;-)

OCZSD150-4GB OCZ Secure Digital Flash Memory Card £58.26+VAT.

Not the cheapest 4gb card, but it is 150x and works just fine in my gp2x.

When browsing photos (left/right shoulder button) it moves so quickly between pictures its
almost like video! Very fast card.

Sorry, Double posted.

Found this case on eBay and I'm very impressed. Fits my GP2X perfectly and only took a week to reach me - not bad since it's from Hong Kong and I'm in the UK. Best of all it's only £4.79 and postage is free. It comes in loads of colours and mine also included a wrist strap which you can either attach to the case or the GP2X itself. Inside there is a flap with six small pockets ideal for storing SD cards and behind that a net pocket which I'm going to use to store a spare set of batteries. Here's a link to the page on the sellers store and a picture of my case below.

US version of the same case is available here:

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?cookie...oduct_id=801917

Gamestop branded, but doesn't have a big NDS logo on it. I prefer it this way... wouldn't want people thinking I'm using an NDS. Perish the thought.

nice, just ordered one myself. i will be sure to find a nice sticker to plaster across the NDS logo

Doesn't look anything like the same case to me...........



Must admit I'm trying to decide what to cover the logo up with as I'd really like it to say 'GP2X.'

Their product page doesn't show inner photographs, unforturnately. Here's a photo I took that shows the similarities:

Very similar though not quite the same. The outer material looks very different. Looks like the net pouch on that one is the opposite way round as well (opening at the bottom) which looks like anything inside would fall out when you open the case. Probably both made in the same factory though.

try fry's for sd cards and readers, i got a card reader for a couple bucks
and i'm thinking of getting a 4gb card from theyre site cuz its cheap!
CLICK HERE to see it
just remember to find whats on sale otherwise stuff isnt that good of a deal
(FRY's is in the US)

Cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820183033

Cheaper and better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820208087

The card reader in my sig is unbeatable... =p

In any case, right now Newegg has a coupon for waived shipping charges up to $20 if you pay with Paypal, the coupon code is PAYPALFREE and it is REUSABLE.

=) I bought lots of shit really cheap.

OH MY GOD

Sanyo Eneloop batteries, look up on some of the interesting features they have. They are very slow self discharging NIHM batteries basically. Here they are with free shipping (US only).

AA 4-pack for 9.99: http://www.hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=17285
AAA 4-pack for 7.99: http://www.hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=17284

You can get a 2 GB Ultra 2GB 60x Secure Digital Card from tiger direct for 20 dollars including shipping.
Put up 43 USD, then mail in a rebate to ultra giving you 30 bucks back. 13 bucks is a good price for the card, especially if you have other things to order from them. Even if you only order only it you still get the order for under 20 bucks. Not a bad deal if your in the usa.

(well see how well it works when it gets here, probably this weekend around the same time as my new gp2x, yay!)

I've found 2gb Kingston SD cards today at Mouse2House.co.uk for £20.95

this is by far the cheapest I've found. not just for SD cards, but for Kingston, I think this is unbeatable.

This might be a stupid question, but I'm a new gp2x owner. How do I connect the strap to the gp2x?

Edit: Sorry, googling helped.

You can get 2GB Kingston cards for £16.17 on Amazon UK. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Technolog...p;s=electronics

Alternatively, they also do 2GB Viking cards for £12.78 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Viking-2Gb-Secure-...p;s=electronics

Just ordered a 2GB Kingston SD card from Amazon. Total cost was just under £20.00. Considering I paid £35 for a 512MB card from Argos because 1 -I knew there would be no problem exchanging it/getting a refund if it wasnt compatible and 2 -I knew Id need one.

Resellers really need to have better bundle options. I would have gladly paid £200 for GP2X, a decent sized card and a PSU - safe in the knowledge it would have all worked.

I know it sounds like Im having a moan but Im really happy with kit I got - the devkit works, the unit works - I just feel a bit let down on the availible options.

A few days ago I ordered a 2 gig 150x SD Card for about $10 after rebate form Tigerdirect.com, they don't have the same deal anymore though, Right now there best deal is a 1 gig 150x for about $5 after rebate.

Here : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...88&CatId=36

dont know if this has been posted, just got this email from amazon uk

2gb Kingston SD card £12.97

2Gb SD card with rebate 9.95 USD

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=...amp;dcaid=17654

does anyone know what the mA rating on the Enerloops are, or how long the GP2X runs on them at a standard clock speed? i can't find this info. they do look promising.

Although this has previously posted in another section of the site, this may have been missed by some folk.

4GB SD for £17.99 !

$50 2GB SD, $50 rebate @ buy.com

$0 is awesome, if you can stand the rebate process

Don't forget the 2GB one for £9.49 and the card reader... (for 4gb cards)
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_in...ducts_id=100916
and reader

Also if you get 4gb Sd-hc card, its not 'As advertised' and you can return it - or they can offer you a non SD-HC card - at least I think that's the law... Anyway I found their customer support really great (if they're really not being sensible you can always use their own media against them )

Expect super slow dane-elec (not that bad..), but you might be pleasantly surprised. 7dayshop is also good for Ireland - but then maybe I'm the only one

Btw the first post is horribly out of date, maybe it could be updated by some mod... I know... its a lot of work...

just checked the amazon kingston 2gb and it was @ £5.55 ordered it, with p&p it came too £10.05! i paid the same for a 1gb kingston card a couple weeks ago, est. delivery date is 5-7th april atm.

Www.play-asia.com has a CRAZY week until Thursday, April 5th with 20% discount on all in-stock items! My GP2X was shipped yesterday, they are out of stock now but you can still hope they get new ones! GP2X Value Pack for only 114 Euros!

USA/CANADA

4GB OCZ SD Memory 150X

http://a-power.com/product-3173-313-1

$69.99 Canadian

It'd be cheaper to buy locally, rather than with postage from US...

To my surprise, I came home last night to a box sitting near my garage door. They came!

The D-pad seems flimsy at first, but feels nice and tactile during use. It's got 10 buttons too, including 4 shoulder buttons. Overall a very nice usb gamepad that works well with everything I tried it with

I bought a mymemory branded 133x 2Gb sd card from mymemory.co.uk for £9.99 + carriage. It works brilliantly and seems faster than a 1gb viking card i got last year.

www.surpluscomputers.com has USB flash drives with built-in SD card readers, perfect for general use as well as reading the GP2X's SD card. It's kind of big, but it's also really cheap (USA shipping included). I got the 512MB version, it's been great so far.
