2 GB MEMORY STICK FOR PSP???

[soloist]

We know that the "gaming" features are just a neon-colored transparent exterior, but the real story is that there's finally a third party 2.0 GB memory stick option for all of us PSP media junkies. We also hear that new production facilities will mean that more sticks should be available this summer, as the market is practically bone dry right now.<

It wouldn't be a Memory Stick, but a Memory Stick Pro. The Memory Stick has a max capacity of 256MB. The Pro starts at 256MB. Besides, the optimum model would actually be the Memory Stick Pro Duo, which is more compact. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

Yeah, even the 1GB ones are well over $100. Guess it's expensive to fit a lot of memory onto something that small. <

Considering the amount of files or data that can be stored<

You would never catch me buying a memory card that cost nearly twice as much as the system it was intended for. v_v Chances are, you wouldn't catch me purchasing a system that required such a card. <i>There are many rules of<

Well, the only thing it really requires is the 32MB card it comes with. The larger ones are just for those who really want a ton of music, video, and other stuff to use on the go.<

But what if you were able to obtain the<

Perhaps, but:<

I never had too much interest in watching movies on PSP. However, I did rent House of Flying Daggers on UMD and the system came with Spiderman 2. The video quality is really stunning... but I still doubt I'd go beyond renting, considering that they cost more than DVD's most of the time.<

As of this moment, I only own Hero and Spiderman 2<

A have a new digital camcorder with 3" DVD and MSPro capability. I have two compact 5.1MP digital still cameras and a 7.2MP with Zeiss optics. My best digital cameras are my two Nikons, which use type I & II Compact Flash. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the
