Lik Sang has added Sony's upcoming 4GB memory stick pro duo to it's list of products. The 4GB memory stick pro duo can be pre-ordered for $279.90, and will ship when the stock arrives in June 2006. This 4GB stick seems like pretty good value for money, being double the price of the 2GB memory stick pro duo, which is reasonable considering they are the same size. Now you have the choice between the bulky Datel 4GB hard drive for $150, or Sony's 4GB memory stick pro duo.

Lik-Sang have also added the 8GB memory stick pro duo to their list of products, although they have not yet added any information on the 8GB stick. Thanks for the heads up Aythami!

Twice the price from the same retailer, Lik-Sang. You can't compare it with other retailers as the 4GB version might be cheaper from the other retailer when they have it in stock.

Don't worry about it guys. The initial prices of almost every piece of electronic hardware are high, it'll drop in the near future.

And I've seen this memory cards at ebay at less than 120 bucks ( + around 10 bucks shipping and handling ).

Anyway, $280 - ouch :O

#17's right though, the price will come down.

If I'd bought a £1000+ camera, then I could see myself buying one at that price. Just for the psp though, nah...

 » Eh.

I would rather get the memory stick rather the hard drive. Yeah, you can easily loose the stick but why the hell would you want to make your psp even more less portable? It's already big enough alone without the HDD, but now you want it bigger? That's why the memory stick is better. It doesn't add to the weight or size of the PSP. And for those that are afraid to lose it, uh, let's see... DON'T *****ING TAKE IT OUT OF THE PSP? For those that do nothing but fiddle with the stick around your house, uh durr. You're gunna lose it. I've had 4 sticks, not to mention 3 others for my digital camera and I've never lost a single one. That's because I use them for what they're purpose was and don't throw them around or play with them.

If you're concerned with the price just wait a few months to a year and the price will be down. Or you can just buy two 2GB sticks.

To #28: Apple is able to make the iPods less expensive because they use actual hard drives. Flash memory, like the Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro Duo or SD cards, are a lot more expensive, because they're small and for their size, they can hold a lot of information.

There are other retailers besides Lik-Sang. Oh right, you're affilliated with Lik-Sang, I forgot.

This is true lunacy. No way will I spen perfectly good dough on a memory stick when i could get an ipod for the same price and have a gazillion more gigs. Please, someone find a way to hook an ipod up to a psp!

Not all iPods use hard drives, there is a a which uses flash. This memory stick certainly is expensive, but the initial pricepoint of all technology is high, I recall the PSX costing $AU899 and now the PSone retails for something less than $AU150

the 1, 2, and 4 gb iPod nanos use flash memory and retail for $149, $199, and $249.

I think it`s not really expensive. Sony have to develop it first, and it`s not only for the PSP.

 » price will drop

If you think $280 is too much for a 4G, then get 2 x 2G MS duos for $200. Simple, why ***** about the prices?

Prices will drop no doubt, but it will take awhile. By the time they drop, you'll all ***** about how much more Sony charges for the 8G! LOL

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-12

maybe the 1 and 2 gig sticks prices will be lowered cause of this

I don't love my psp that much to buy a memory stick for it that cost more than the psp itself. I'll wait for it to come out in june prob wil be less by then, I think it will take them a while to make an 8 gig.
