As you said the price is incredibly high and only 512MB. No GBA, and if you get an m3 thats just even more money because you need an sd card and reader. Why not just go for micro sd 1gig, supercard, superkey and reader all for the same price as the xtreme? EDIT: ofcourse if you have and are willing to spend that amount of money, thats fine but others are on a tighter budget.
