Can anyone tell me why 8 megs of ram built in to a memory card costs £30???? You compare this to the price of memory on the pc, say £25 for 64 megs as quoted by special reserve and ask yourself why does it cost so much to fit a bit of ram in a plastic casing??? I've noticed that this is going to be the same for the xbox.

Its pritty good actually. Considering the Gamecube memory cards are only 4 mega-bits and cost £15.

I just remembered I never bought one of those expansion packs for me N64 since I wont pay £30 for 4 megs.

You must excuse my winging, I'm beginning to enjoy it and I have a hangover.

Save yourself a fiver and order one from here. As for the reason, well it's always been like this but they will slowly come down in price.

That's the price you gotta pay for it so unfortunately you'll just have to put up with it. :(
