Walmart [walmart.com] $98

B&H [bhphotovideo.com] $130
Micro Center [microcenter.com]$150
Sandisk [sandisk.com] $150

Do Sandisk MicroSD cards last longer now? Mine used to die within months, so I have switched to Samsung.

Don't hold your breath. Prices are projected to climb much higher next year, before finally beginning to drop in 2028 when the new NAND factories finally come online. I highly doubt we'll ever see prices that low again, all things considered, including inflation.

Chat told me to order with express shipping and then they would refund. Error with standard shipping - but confirm with chat before doing it.

Also works for switch 2?
No. Not the same product. Switch 2 only uses Express cards. 512gb Express cards haven't dropped below $50 yet.

Not sure why someone gave you a thumbs down for asking a question. Yes, this item works for Switch 2. Look at the description. If it doesn't say "Works with switch 2" then it doesn't. Needs certain read/write speeds that most regular SD cards don't have. So that's a big reason why the compatible ones are so expensive. I keep crossing my fingers and holding my breath that we'll get better deals in the future. 90+ gb for FFVII . . . . crazy.

Holy crap, I went back in my purchase history and saw that I got a SANDISK 512GB Extreme microSD for $39 back in Feb 2025. The prices are ridiculous nowadays!!

I just chatted customer service and the shipping error is a known website issue. Currently their only directions are to tell customers to try again later 🫤

Maybe but guessing not. The number of people that need/want a micro sd that's 1TB is probably much less that it's not worth it for Costco to carry (my own opinion).
It's the other way around. Companies are hoarding high capacity NAND storage for AI. Seeing how they decimated the consumer market, manufacturing resources have shifted to B2B production and sales, as greater profits can be made by selling to data centers than to the subset of consumers. It wouldn't be that merchandisers aren't stocking them because they don't sell, it would be that manufacturing resources are going towards AI because that sells better.

I'm on hold with an awesome cs rep from costco, it seems like priority shipping will let it go through and they can credit that back

Oooo, nice! Update: I tried that route and got a hard no. I'll eat the $10 to ensure I don't miss out on it, but it's frustrating that the experiences aren't uniform.
