Could someone please tell me why the factory price for Panasonic 1 GB
SD memory card is $499 (!!!)

http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs...l%20Camcorders

yet Tiger Direct sells one which appears to be compatible for $98
bucks

Camera in question is Panasonic PV-GS400.

I can understand SOME factory price increase but 5 times?

Here you go, 1GB for $69:
