The $699 Memory Stick

When buying electronics, two factors remain relatively consistent -

1. If it’s new, it costs a lot more
2. If Sony is involved, it costs a lot more

Yet, even these two truisms fail to account the the $699cdn (roughly the same in American dollars) price tag placed on a (third-party!) Memory stick currently being advertised at Staples. Granted, 4GB cards are relatively new but can be obtained for less than $150 if you are fortunate enough to have an SD slot. Given Sony’s penchant for being proprietary and expensive, perhaps we should not be so hasty to give up on HD-DVD?

A web site hosting company is the only way to get your site on the net. A bluehost hosting company is giving away a free memory stick of 256kb with every webpage hosted. A powweb company is offering to give a sony mp3 player for a website hosted for one year from their company. Just design and host your site! The web hosting service review for these companies says that bluehost and powweb are two of the top quality hosting companies on the net.
