Someone help me out. These appear to be the same card. How does the price range from $160 to $400?

I think based on the sellers I found, the cheap ones might be a gray market, or OEM type deal, and probably not covered by any warranty. Then there's the 1GB cards for ~$229, and the 2GB are $350-400. That's what it looks like to me. If you go for the super cheap one, buyer beware.

yeah. crazy price diff. But for 300 bucks off may be worth if it the site has a return policy.

If they do, sure. I mean the stuff is probably the real deal, just not legit. Like when I buy camera lenses, I only buy Nikon USA stuff, because the grey market lenses are cheaper, but have no warranty because they weren't imported by Nikon..
