News from Divineo China

The 512M and 1G memory stick Pro Duo from SanDisk are now both cheaper than ever, and quality is just as good (if not better as seen on many product review) than the official Sony version.

On the psp launch day.They had sony 256 meg memsticks at the store I bought mine. It ran me 86 dollars

And there where no other options. Just what came with the psp and those 256 meg cards at the time, Talk about a scam

86 dollars for a 256 meg memstick

. Yeah I felt stupid!
I felt stupid even as I bought it. But the will to have some storage space right at that moment I got my psp was far to great to pass up

As luck would fate it to be. I still have this card. Now ive got a 32 , a 256 , a 512, and a one gig. And damnit! as much as I paied for them,people will be prying them from my cold dead hands before I give em up

lol

I used to work at a small computer shop, and the owner still lets me use the 35% empoyee discount. However, I've only bought one 512M stick, cuz that's all need. Too many stories about bigger capacity sticks screwing up ...

BEWARE: All the people I know who have a corrupted memory stick all bought the SanDisk brand. Mine is corrupted too. =[
I can't format it either cuz my pc reads it as write protected and my psp gimps up real bad if I even put it in at all.

I bought the Sandisk "gaming" brand (it was actually cheaper than the regular) but really there isn't a difference. I've had no problems at all, it's possible you just got a defective memory stick which does happen alot. If it happened to me I'd return it to the store if you still can, or return it to Sandisk (they give you a 5-year warranty on the cards).
