I have 2 1GB SanDisks! you all have me so worried I'm backing them up as we speak! LOL

I'm mainly worried about my save games though, everything else can be replaced.

But I wonder if all those memory card issues people are having has somthing to do with loose contact pins, (here comes the sarcastic part) Inside the already quality product that is psp

I mean think about it, all that card swaping early on couldnt have been good for them, I wouldnt think

To everyone who's had their memory sticks corrupted: when did it happen? If you were on the rom file browser of an emulator, and let it go into sleep mode, that's what caused the corruption, at least it did for me and my MS.

Also, getting a replacment from SanDisk was very easy...they sent a link to me via email that went to the FedEx site, and the page was a pre-paid FedEx shipping label. I just had to put the MS in a box, print the label, tape it to the box, and drop it off at a shipping center. I got my new MS about a week later (about a month ago, that is), free of charge.

I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else

Mine carked it after a simple USB file transfer. Everything seemed fine, the copy was complete, I hit X on the (jap) PSP to exit USB mode and then...blinking MS light. Game over. Putting it directly into my PC's card reader basically hung Windows.

I've got two other Sandisc MS duos (one blue 512, one gamer-yellow 1GB) and they've been fine. I've been using the 512 on the PSP heavily since December without any issues. Given that this latest blue 1GB died pretty much as soon as I got it, I figure it was just a bad unit. These things happen. Anyway, just got it replaced no problem.

shadow i think your right about the cheapness of the psp. My 256 sandisk just started doing what the initial 32 did.... saying no card inserted even on the pc. I disassembled my psp then put it back together now i only have to pop the card out then back in to get it to recognize. Annoying yes but not as much as a dead card.

Theres really no getting around it, Ive seen products of higher quality come out of cracker jack boxes when I was a kid
