Memory maker SanDisk today announced the release of three new cards, including a Memory Stick Micro (M2) targeted toward users of the upcoming PSP Go. The card will "double the amount of storage in the soon-to-be-released Sony PSP Go," according to a release issued today by the company.
Fair enough, but is the only card that will do so? Hardly. The PSP Go-specific branding is similar to a ploy taken by the company with the Nintendo DSi, when it released the SanDisk SDHC Memory Card for Nintendo DSi, an "official" Nintendo-branded card, which was like any other SDHC card, only with a Nintendo label.
A VP at the company issued a statement about that card, reading, "While Nintendo DSi is compatible with all SDHC formats, the branded SanDisk SDHCcards provide added assurance for consumers that it can be used in the Nintendo DSi."
SanDisk would probably happily tell you the same if you asked about this model.

A year from now, they will cost half their current price, and will be totally outdated. So, why hurry to buy them now?

The "very cool" Gamecube alternative you list quickly falls apart as you read the details: "Supports special games such as Animal Forest e+ only, cannot be used as a standard memory card". Why Nintendo couldn't make this work with any game is beyond me...
