MS Pro Pricing

[velocitysf]

I just saw that Page Computer has the 1gb memory stick pro for $471 and in stock. Yes, that's still expensive, but well under the $800 list price and they just came out. The 256 and 512 are almost reasonably priced. Who knows, before long they might actually cost less than my NX-70 did ;-)

They still need drivers yet, someone said maybe by the end of the month.

Still, that's a good price! Thanks!

BTW, isn't it $441.06?

Thanks for the website!!! Just bought a 256mb ms pro for $96. This should hold me until the compact flash driver comes out.

[jedix]

Yes, thanks for the website! I just ordered a 512 mb stick from them. I can't wait to get it (and have working drivers)!

Follow this link for a listing of some of the ms products they sell. Half way down you will see listed the 256, 512, and 1 gb sticks!

:( :mad: :(

Here's an e-mail I just got:

Thank you for placing your order with Page Computer.

Unfortunately, the product you requested SDMSP-512-822, 512MB MEMORY STICK PRO is currently unavailable.
We have attempted to source the item from all our suppliers across the country, but we were unsuccessful. On occasions,
we receive more orders than we have products before our website is updated. Also if you ordered over the weekend there is
no one to physically research the order until the following working day. Please note that we are closed on Saturday and
Sunday.

We try our best to fulfill your order as we appreciate your business, and your business makes our business successful.
We feel it is in your best interest that we cancel your order, so that you have ample time to source the product from
another supplier. We do not benefit from turning your business away and apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately,
we do not accept backorders because the manufacturers provide us with unreliable ETA's (estimated time of arrival) for
their products. We would not be providing the best service to our customers by holding an order and not knowing when it
will be available to ship. We have not charged your credit card. In the event that we have charged your card, please
notify us immediately, so we can reverse the charges as soon as possible.

Our Deepest Apologies,

Bjorn

Sony said they would be releasing a driver for current NX and NZ users to use the MS pro. From what I've been reading, people who have the ms pro cannot fully take advantage of it yet (problems playing mp3s among others). I assume you need the correct driver (which hasn't been released yet) to fully use a MS Pro.

Sony says you need it, that's why :).

Well, that's s simple way to put it..why didn't I think of that?

[sstrasser86]

Well, you got me there...I haven't. But I'm on my way to 1000! Yipee for me! (Yes, I'm that pathetic!)
