I was hoping for a 32GB but 16GB would DEFINITELY work. What's up with the Mark2? Does that mean this is much faster than current SONY sticks. Because SONY sticks tend to be very slow compared to SanDisk.

Another thing, with the latest 3.80 firmware for the PSP what is the limit for PRO Duo storage? I thought it was 8GB. So it would be safe to assume we'll see another PSP update in March or before with one new feature being 16GB limit.

But still, $300.00 is crazy. I guess we all need to realize that there are some people who consider $300.00 to be pocket change and there is probably a small niche market willing to spend that much for this particular stick. If this stick is fast, it'd be worth $120.00 to me for all I'd use it for. So I'll be waiting for the price drops.

With all else said though, it is very encouraging to see SONY focusing on giving its products more storage. I've got the 80GB PS3 and the more I can fit on my Slim PSP, the better.

No, that was lifted a while ago. (I think with the 2.80 update) 3.52 & 3.71 M33 custom firmwares (and official $ONY) are capable of 32 GB.

Whoa!!

But yeah, I was hoping for the 32GB one although 16Gb is hell a lot of homebrew haha, and videos, music, pictures, etc

$300 is way too much, but that was the price of the 8Gb when it first came out, I'll be waiting for next christmas and a nice price drop to $150

That's amazing.

They should also make 10 and 12GB models as well for people who want to save some money.

The 16 gb card is coming out?! O, guess it's finally time to get the cheapened up 4gb one. This is actually really smart, you just keep people buying mem cards, as long as you have a long line of lowered tiered cards for the mass market.
