I just checked MSY's site(the PDF version) and they only have the cheaper 266x cards listed at the moment.

I got mine about two or three years back now, it's been quite heavily used and no problems at all(so far).

If there's an MSY store not far from you, it may be worth going in and asking or seeing for yourself.

here's an image of mine:

There is no brand name on the card, only the P symbol with the stars at the top of the card and the rear face is bare metal only with a faint imprint of the serial No.
I remember the blister pack had the name Patriot on it.

I just had a peek on Ebay, and have noted(and 'watched') a couple of interesting cards listed there. One of which is the Duracell 600x which gets a high score on Rob Galbraith.
$50ish for a fast 16Gig card .. landed!
Unfortunately a quick check on CheapChips hasn't revealed anything of value. Good cards and all that, with the high end Lexars listed at 'reasonable' prices .. but I still think it's just too much for not enough gain.
