If you're in need of extra gigs for your PSP, but looking to save a pretty penny or two, perhaps you'll want to hear about this adapter. The PhotoFast CR-3500 microSDHC to Pro Duo adapter will allow microSDs and microSDHCs (high capacity) to work with both PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models. The adapter supports microSDHCs up to eight gigs large.

Now how is this going to save you a few bucks? Well, for the exact same amount of storage capacity, microSDHCs (http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-Packaging/dp/B000SMVQK8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1207853916&sr=1-1) offer a cheaper solution to Pro Duos (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-4096MB-Memory-Stick-Media/dp/B000MW0DXU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1207853778&sr=1-8) -- even if you factor in the price of the adapter. But hang on right there. There's no price yet on the adapter. However, a little rummaging finds the adapter listed on Amazon Japan (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9%E3%8 3%88%E3%83%86%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8E%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B8% E3%83%BC-CR-5300-microSD-SDHC%E2%86%92%E3%83%A1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC% E3%82%B9%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%82%AFPro-Duo%E5%A4%89%E6%8F%9B%E3%82%A2%E3%83%80%E3%83%97%E 3%82%BF%E3%83%BC/dp/B0015BJRD4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1207888139&sr=8-1) for ?990. That's roughly US$9.70. If that estimate holds true for North American consumers, then there's a lot of savings to be had.
