Im looking to buy a Sandisk 1GB for my P910i and dont know which one to get. There is a 1GB "gaming duo pro" in yellow colour and the normal blue colour. Anyone know the difference?

The colour is the difference 
Have you got a good price for the 1GB MS Pro Duo? There are still very rare to find.

So the gaming one is compatible with a p910i? I read its for devices like PS2 and other consoles. Correct me.
Im from Australia, Melbourne.

The only differece with gaming pro is the colour. Apart from that they are the same as pro duo, and yes they are compatible with P910. |

just called up Sony Ericsson in Australia and asked them if the 1GB gaming duo pros are compatible with the p910i. The technician replied "NO" but the 1GB normal duo pros are. Can anyone else confirm this?

no, I dont believe that guy you spoke to.
Why would they make gaming pro incompatible with P910??
Look:
SanDisks Memory Stick PRO Duo Gaming, all the benifits of regular Memory Stick PRO Duo media, but with added colour.
Memory Stick PRO Duo is half the size of a standard-size Memory Stick PRO media and it offers the same technologies including high speed data transfer, built-in MagicGate, and high capacities. The Memory Stick PRO Duo is the ideal solution for the most portable devices such as pocket-size digital cameras and with the use of Adaptor, it can be used in all PRO-compatible devices.
Only difference is the colour of the stick mate  |

ten18,
I totally agree with you. Ive been reading around and all the information points to them both being the same. I would like someone else to call up SE to confirm this because i think my technician is talking rubbish.
I want to get the gaming duo because of the nice yellow colour, but until then, ill be holding back. |

instead of SE, why don't you try shooting off an email to sandisk? they should be able to tell you whether there is any difference between the two sticks, other than the color. if there isn't, then that should answer your question.  |

Are the gaming duo pros more expensive than the normal duos? |

Evening all!
I happen to have a couple Duo Pros, one of them being the 1Gb 'gaming' duo pro. only got it a few days back Works fine just as well as the usual San Disk 512 card i have speed is the same everything is the same. I think its just branding to appeal to PSP users that is all.
I actually have a 256 Duo Pro which came with my digi cam thats balck with red and silver text looks cool but their all the same. Even heard that their all pressed on the same prodcution line both sony and san disk products! |

The Gaming pro duo memory sticks run faster than the common memory stick. That's why it cost more. You also might wanna compare Sandisk and Sony's lifespan, compatibility and so on. I"m also planning to get a 1Gb card, preferably Sony.
If you guys are interested, Check it out in eBay, Sandisk 1Gb selling at max A135. I think with some bidding might pull the price even lower. The Sony however are a little bit more costly, but you can get them shipped from the US at around A110+ at bidding without shipping. |

They'd be wrong then.
Since none of the technology has changed in the card, the only thing they could base their answer on is their P910i not liking the colour. Last I checked there wasn't a setting for "hate fluro coloured memory sticks" |

yea, we knew that months ago.
That technician he spoke did not know what he was talking about.
I guess you could say he was an @sshole...
