If they don't state the speed assume it is the slowest they can make (thus the cheap prices). I'd not be suprised if they are under 50x (compared to 150x on a decent card). So it is likely that they won't play movies very well.

Lol, they don't mark speeds on any of the cards they sell in Wal-Mart. I bought the first 512mb SD card that they priced under $40 (Low Prices Always, HA) because I didn't really want to wait for shipping. Speed wasn't marked on that, and it plays movies just fine.

Exactly - that's what I found.
Unfortunately it's difficult to figure out the speed if they don't tell you (until you've bought it) as so many SDs are rebadged others (same with CFs we use at work).

Kingmax 2GB Secure Digital @ Dabs

This might interest some of you, it has a 66x speed quoted and is only a little more expensive at £21.98.

Has anyone else bought the 7dayshop card? Does it work well with the GP2x? How's the speed?

I have to break in my new credit card, but I don't want to buy it if it's pants.

Opinions?

Regarding the Kingmax ones from Dabs, the customer reviews seem to say they are actually 150x. Will let you know when mine arrives.

Yeah the Dabs ones are 150x Kingmax, works great.
