I just bought a Micro BR and am getting to know it....so far so good. I had heard that it doesn't like SD cards over 1GB which are hard (or imposible) to find in stores around here. I found this seller on eBay and was wondering if this is a good price or if there is a better source for these 1GB cards. Also, is it true that 2-3-4GB SD's don't work well with the Micro BR? 1GB Sandisks on eBay (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5336002397&toolid=10001&customid=HarmonySearch&ext=330312749217&item=330312749217)
I would not recommend going over 1GB for the BR. Not sure where you are located in this wild world, but Wally World has 1GB SDs; saw a bunch yesterday.
Either way, you could always get a good deal on them through ebay or amazon. I am pretty sure that even if you got the BR to read a 2GB+ card, it would only operate up to 1GB on it. So there would just be wasted capacity left over. Someone might want to check me on that. I have read it several places on here though.
Good luck.

It's only designed for a 1 gig. 2g sometimes work but not always, so it's best to avoid them. A higher speed class 4 or class 6 card is recommended. I have had both the Sandisk Extreme II and the Lexar Platinum (both class 4). They work fine.
I use Sandisk UltraII 1G cards, these are available from a number of sellers online. Often hard to find in stires. Buy a few and you won't need any more.

So I was right about the max 1GB thing.....thanks. This card I'm looking at on eBay, (1GB Sandisks on eBay (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5336002397&toolid=10001&customid=HarmonySearch&ext=330312749217&item=330312749217)) is it a basic card and not the one I should be looking for? Can anyone find the one on eBay that's best and post the link here please? I've looked at a lot of stores here (Canada) and haven't found any 1GB so eBay seems to be my only option. (Dumb questions I know, but I'm kinda Techno-Challenged with this stuff....too old! LOL )

others on this site have used 2gb cards in the br.american musical supply is shipping the micro br with a 2 gb card.as has been said ,it will only recognize 1gb of a 2gb card but should work.initialize.one guy on here said his memory card worked perfectly without being initialized.i'd do it anyway.
Yup, just buy them from ebay. Nothing but love for the Sansdisk UltraIIs. I picked up a pack of 8 for about $35 or so. No worries...
I bought a couple of these ones from this Hong Kong seller.....free and fast shipping. He has the Ultra II's as well so I'm gonna buy a few and I'm set. Thanks for the advice guys.....and I recommend this seller

using anything larger than a 1 gig is a crapshoot-my br600 rejects a 2 gig sandisk-some have had luck-a roll of the dice it seems
i use peak 2gb sd cards, it works fine but you can only use 1gb of its capacity.
