Circuit City has a Sandisk 256MB Memory Stick Duo currently advertised for
$39 (after rebates). That's less than the regular price ($45) of a 128MB
Sony-brand stick.

Get whatever you can afford. Don't bankrupt yourself over it. You can get
a higher capacity card when you have more money. You may find you won't
need one for them time being.

Release day. Went into Walmart this afternoon, and they had a display case
full of them.

Went next door to EBGames. They had a small stack of preordered units on
the floor behind the counter, and a huge stack of them ready to sell.

No shortage around here. They should be down to $149 in no time...

Same here went to the best buy about 11am and there was still was a few. I
had preordered it elsewhere just in case of a shortage. I ended up buying it
at bb though because I liked there extended warranty plan. I guess ill have
to go to the wherehouse where I preordered and get store credit for the
money I put down. Oh well....
