Hehe, yeah I thought it would be a bit more elegant to link it like that.

Price is a bit much for me atm (though looking at how they managed the Mega SD, rather worth it). They do some discounts here and there so we'll see but its definitely something I'm going to pick up eventually.

I'd have to be around $150 or less since I'd have to pay import taxes on top of it.
