You're right, I don't like the way some companies brand something for a specific use to make it seem superior. It may be slightly quicker, but it honestly doesn't matter much in situations like this, you aren't ever going to load anything more than a few meg from an SD card using a Wii or PS3.

LOL @ Gaming SD cards. And SD card is an SD card.... If you want something that actually takes the SD card to a higher level - check out this link. You just fold the SD card in half and it acts as a USB flash drive.

Stupid. Normal SD cards are fine. The sticker is not worth an extra $10.

how is this product any different from any other sd card?

Its just another tactic to confuse the ordinary guy off the street who is buying for his kids without much knowledge about these things. His kid says "I need an SD card for my Wii" - he sees 2 in the shop, one is generic, the other is more expensive but Wii branded.

BOOM!! Marketing Shot!! - $10 in the kitty

We're talking about the PS3, not PS2.
