In fact, I can't see how they would be, since if the PSP doesn't recognize the 8gb stick, which would need to be inserted for Devhook to work with it... yeah...

Looks like another reason to update to custom firmware.

You could probablyget it to work, just boot devhook on your 2 GB stick or whatever you have. Then remove the 2 GB stick and put in the 8 GB stick. Im pretty sure it would work.

Excellent news (although a tad expensive).

I'm sure these will come down in price after a short time... and hopefuly sandisk will get in on the action as I prefer there cards (and there normaly cheaper).

Yeah until you go to do anything. It will look for the files on the memory stick and they wont be there. Now if you had an exact copy of the DH folder from the 2gb stick on the 8gb it might work. But even taking out the stick requires a read of the flash (to unmount the stick, remount the next one, etc).

I just don't see how it can work.

Didn't Sony turn to SanDisk for help to create the 32GB?

Good point, I didnt realize that. I guess if people want to use the 8GB stick they will just have to update to 3.03OE, not like thats a bad thing, its great anyway.

Where is everyone getting this news about the 32 gb stick? i've been looking for info about it and can't find it anywhere, well i've found some rumors about it like on this and similar sites but no concrete facts.

Why are the Sandisk memory sticks better? Are they faster or something? Or do they just cost less?
