RE: "price elasticity of demand" Anecdotally, when I purchased the Sony DSC-W1 for my daughter in February, I purchased a Sandisk 512MB Memory Stick Pro card for $60. If a 1GB card was available for $60 and a 512MB card for $30, I probably would have purchased the 1GB for $60. I don't think there is any chance I would buy 2 512MB at $30. The new Sandisk Sansa MP3 players come with 512MB and 1GB internal Flash and an SD card slot. I don't like the economics of buying a $150-200 MP3 player and then paying $200 for a 2GB card. At $60 dollars for a 2GB card, I think it is better than the 5MB hard disk MP3 players.
