$25 special for a 1 gig drive at my local computer store this week

So I guess that means something like:

$20 for the movie
$5 for the DVD software and packaging

Yawn.

A couple of months ago $100 was probably the going rate. A quick look around internet retailers puts the current average around $75 for a 2GB memory stick. By way of comparison 2GB SD cards go for $50 or less.

So, on Newegg.com you can get a 4GB SD Card for around 60 something dollars last I checked, or, you can shell out 47 for 1GB and one [bad] movie, of a format not as widely used? 77 for the 2GB? No wonder Disturbed chose to cover "Land of Confusion"...

On a lesser note of frustration and confusion, does it at least come with a way to watch the film on anything other than the PSP? How do you get the movie on there? Download?
