8 gig ProDuo Memory Stick - Update

[Shrygue]

I'd so like to get an 8 gigabyte memory stick, but that £152 price tag so expensive. Also, only being able to use some 93% out of the 8GB capacity is just a plain rip-off.

everybody does remember that the first 1gb stick cost like $400 usd right,those were the days

[QUOTE=sinjinn;330883]that is the official price . i will wait for the ebay prices./QUOTE]

Those so called ebay prices are fakes, they're slow, currupt data alot, and suck.

I was out of the scene for a bit (due to my psp falling a little farther than hoped onto the pavement ouch) but I thought that when the Datel's 4gb add on came out, it was disected and determined that the psp only supported FAT formating limiting the HD size to 4gb? I guess they could update the firmware to support it, I just wonder if it would cause issues for the custom firmware installations. Or could you just copy the files from a 4gb stick onto the 8gb stick via a computer?

2.80 firmware and above has 8gb capability.

If you wait a year, the price is almost guarunteed to go down. at my local costco, the price of a 1gig card went down 50% after a year

In my opinion, the good thing to come from this is the possibility of a price drop in 4 gig sticks, however, Would you be prepared to pay such an amount for the 8 gig produo?

Thats all I was hoping for! Ive got a 32, 128, 512, 1gb and 2bg sticks so I think a 4gb will be enough!

wonder if 8gig sticks work in 303oe,wont get one if they dont.

A very important question... Whats the point of 8gb with no emulators and homebrew!?

You could get at least 3 4GB for that price, giving you an extra 3.5GB+ after taking of the unusable portions.
Not worth it yet.

SOLD! When the 8gb is everywhere you'll probably get 5 4gb cards for the same price!

Only problem with that is, if you wait a year the 16 GB card will be out, its a neverending cycle

I believe the next MS being worked on is the 32GB one isn't it. Sony and SanDisk are co-operating on it.
