  • Don't buy SD cards from Argos

    Picked up the new Argos catalogue at the weekend, and I’m still shocked to see the prices Argos think they can charge for digital memory cards. For example: an unbranded 1GB SD card for ยฃ22.99, or cards branded Kodak and Fujifilm for ยฃ27.99… ‘less than half price!’ Meanwhile, over at Amazon – a 1GB Kingston Technology SD card for the truly startling price of ยฃ1.29 (plus Marketplace postage rates). Or for a direct comparison: this SanDisk Ultra II 1GB SD card. As little as ยฃ11.97 from an Amazon marketplacer, but ยฃ33.99 from Argos – and that’s even with a ยฃ16 discount already applied.
