    Been stung with ebay and just got my refund so I'm not going back there. I 've bought off amazon.co.uk before and got a genuine sandisk but can't find any 8G ones there being sold directly by amazon.

    The cheapest ones I can find delivered to Ireland (that are definitely legit) are from memoryc.com and they weigh in at > 100 euro including delivery (play.com are < 80 but wont sell to us paddys).

    Anyone else know of cheaper?

    MX2.co.uk or memoryc.ie are both excellent and well priced. MX2 is cheaper but longer delivery but memoryc.ie is based in celbridge and ships by registered post. Very quick delivery.

    I have 2, 4gb pro duo's, deffinatley legit, magicgate supported etc... 40 each, no offers.

    Thanks for the replies lads.

    mobymemory have an 8G M2 stick with pro duo adapter for around 65 euro which is pretty decent. Pity the write speeds are so crap (3MB/s).

    mx2 have a sandisk 8G pro duo card for around 85. Hard to justify that extra 20 quid for the fast write speeds though (10MB/s).

    Tried ordering from MX2, but I had a time squeeze and they hadn't posted 4 days after I ordered so I cancelled.

    Went with memoryc.com and got the 8GB M2 with pro duo adapter. From order placement to delivery was about 21 hours in total. Very very impressive.

    I've found the same with few times I've ordered with them. Excellent order turn-around and delivery times.
    If you are near Celbridge, you can order through the website, ring them and collect your order and save on delivery price.

    I've gotten a good few memory cards from 7dayshop.co.uk

    Pricing is usually good but the delivery can be about a week. They tend to put stuff in individual envelopes too.

    Play.com do an 8Gb for a very reasonable price if i remember correctly. they also do free delivery which is a plus.

    Play.com is almost €200! hardly a resonable price!

    it's actually closer to €250 with their wonky exchange rate.
