I didn't buy one because I realized it was a ripoff.

I have an official one. I didn't personally buy it, but no matter. I like owning official equipment, anyways.

Being "official" doesn't make it any better.  A Sandisk sd card is probably better quality.

I didn't say I thought "official" equipment was the best, I said I liked it more.

You know, in the past when my systems have broken, sometimes I haven't been able to get replacements or help based on my use of third party equipment. So sue me if I like official things now.

But that's when the stuff is made just for the console, not an sd card that's been around for years and not made by "third parties."

Ehh don't buy 2 gigs for 40... You can find specials all over the place for 20 dollars and less... 2 gig cards are starting to become outdated.

Meh, it depends where you buy it. At some places, the blue Sandisk SD card can cost half the price of the white Sandisk-Nintendo SD card of the same size. Other places, they might be equal or possibly the white is slightly less expensive.
I saw the white 1gig at Target or something for $40 if I remember correctly, and ended up getting a 2GB at EB-Games for about $20. Before seeing either, I had a 1GB blue Sandisk card that was like $25 I think...

Wait for sales at places like Best buy or wallgreens, my dad regularly picks up cheap 1 gig cards for his camera. :P
