Sony intros 16GB Memory Stick Duo

[Shrygue]

$300 = £152. That's the conversion.


It won't be long until it drops back to something like £50 or so. 16GB of space for PSP is good for haveing lots of homebrew, photographs and music all in one place.

Yup, I don't know what SONY's problem is. Expensive, higher capacity storage means nothing if it takes forever to load up a lot of files to and from the memory stick.

I probably won't get this particular stick but when/if SanDisk releases a 16GB I'll definitely want one pretty bad.

I dont get why these cards are so damn expensive?

It's so small and mass produced.... It's not like there hand made in italy and only one is made a week gosh.

It's 'expensive' because it's new technology, that's why. Think of all the brainstorming that went into making this thing. Plus, it's aimed toward professional photographers too; not just homebrewers and software-pirates. They spend like $10k on a camera and extra for lenses, what's another $300 for extra memory?

Oh, and also because Sony likes making profit. Can't blame 'em though lol
