Because MicroSD Express cards are more expensive. Saved you a click.
I saw a 256GB one on Amazon UK for £22. Might pick it up now in case there are shortages or the price skyrockets. That plus the system memory would be 512GB of storage and I tend to buy physical games too.
Edit: The one I was looking at wasn't even the Express version. Lots of people are gong to get stung by this.
Edit 2: there are some micro SD cards marked Extreme but these are not compatible with switch 2 despite the name being similar to the Express ones.
It's generally not recommended to buy SD cards from Amazon. Bootleg cards are a big issue with Amazon. Here's an article on the subject.
Honestly this sort of thing applies to more and more products from Amazon every single week.
You shouldn't buy any sort of skincare products medicine or supplements either.
Thanks I think you saved me from making a bad purchase
