Cliche it may be, but great things do come in small packages. At the on-going Consumers Electronic Show in Vegas, Sony just announced its latest memory stick product - the 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. Yep, you read that right. Eight giga-whew-bytes. More room for 'brew, emulators, music, etc. |

Does sony not realize that the bigger they make their memory sticks, the more isos will be used?
I don't think anyone would have 8 GB worth of photo albums and music now eh?
Not everyone are idiot like you and think WAREZ as soon as they hear news like this... Many people uses this for their photo cameras etc...
Im not an idiot. niether is he.. i think. But as soon as i heard this i thought about iso's. thats the only thing to think about really i mean why would u want 8gb of photo or music, maybe video.
Theres music, video, images, homebrew.
Not to mention that the MemoryStick is used in other devices such as cameras, audio players, mobiles etc.
. sony make hundreds of devices , not just the psp. cameras , mp3 players, mobile phones etc etc etc. they arent making memory sticks just for the psp , they are making memory sticks so they can make money on each one sold. besides, the psp can only address 4gb of memory so the current 4 gb sticks are the most memory u can get for it.
Maybe that's why they ARE making bigger cards? Atleast they'll make money off them then, if no one bothers buying their games :/
With the comming of firmware 3.00 the limit on size of 4gb was made obsolete. From firmware 3.00 and up ther is no limit to the amount of memory one can have.I guesse sony never thought booster was going to crack 3.00.
Lets face it Dark_Alex is great and all but with out Booster we would really have no custom firmwares. IN my list Booster is first then Dark_Alex but dont get me wrong i do appreciate every thging DAX has done.
unbeliever!! ....burn him.
dark alex has made the custom firmwares 2.71 SE A till 3.03 OE A... booster has almost nothing to do with his actions. other people who have made cf's where harleyG(without him there wasn't a recovery mode)... ow yeah btw 8gb...ok that can pass but that little good-for-iso-only-because-you-can-never-have-that-much-photo's-or-music costs more then the psp itself... who would nuy such a thing... i mean for his psp not other compatible devices
So all the people who have 80GB iPods are using them for warez? ***** off idiot.
Hell Yeah they sure are, they want to download doom onto their ipod a zillion times, any hoo i need a new card i wouldnt get this one for 300 that insane, i may be wrong but rumor mill/may be true that sony is making a bundle pack with 8gb internal card or something (though it would be nice if it wasnt so that it could be used for other things)
I think im geting a 2gb or 4gb card
Wtf...
iPods are 8gb, and people dont use them for warez, in fact most of them use it all for music.....
(their real reason is their PS1 emulator)
Apple makes 80GB iPods. This is 1/10th the size.
Other brands like sandisk will make it anyway so theres no purpose for sony to lose out on money because prople would prefer Sont brand MS duos ,besides Ms duos arent for just psps sony has a wide inventory of digital and video camras taht use ms duos , and movies can fill up 8gbs all this homebrew stuff boost sales, thats why i bought a PSP :) But soon people relize they cant use homebrew on the newer psp lol anyways sony is making profit either way and to finalize my point da only idiot here is you
Thats the only thing I thought of when I saw 8 gigs. ISOs, You could probably put 20 games on there.
HarleyGs custom fw was a modification of DAXs POC custom fw. HarleyG just added the ability to boot straight to Devhook with the wifi switch up. Dark_Alex was the one who created recovery mode.
Don't forget our "back-up" movies
not everyone uses isos. i'd personally like this since i like to keep movies on my memory stick. Currently i only have 2gb
I saw them at eb games today what do you mean next month
dont think for a second that this will allow you to have tons of .iso on 1 stick, as i have a 4gb one at the mo and it is crap for .iso, something to do with the memory, it cant keep up with the game so it has to lag to load up, it is constantly trying to pay catch up, for anyone thinking of buying one of these for games, you would be better off buying 4 2gb sticks, word! lol.
not that i condone that kind of behaviour all my iso's are backups of my originals, to yo moms!
NAH!!!! *****S!!!!!!!!!!!
haha look at you you deuce thats why Geedawg beat you haha
any way doesnt matter. spending 300 bucks is like buying a new psp. only people who pirate isos or LOVE psx games on their psp alot will buy this
No sane person is going to pay the RRP for a real Sony Memory Stick, so when are these gonna be on eBay? I really need one of these, 4GB doesn't cut it anymore.
Well lets think of the PS3 did people pay less for them on ebay?
Although thes may not be in such high demand ther will be more than retail price on ebay abd dont forget about all those fake mem cards out ther they can easily make an 8gb fake card. Iwould be more carefulll when buying a memcard on ebay
OK, let's review who the idiot is.
It's memory cards not a console retard!!!
When 2 GB cards came out, where they cheaper or more expensive on e-bay?
When 4 GB cards came out, where they cheaper or more expensive on e-bay?
Oh that's right, the answer to both question is that they where cheaper.
Sure they where fake, but they where still CHEAPER not more expensive. Know what you're talking about before you go insulting someone you monkey diddler!
i just want to point out that even if they are fake they are still memory cards and most will work as good as a sony memory card , theyve just been branded by someone else.
The only real idiots here are the ones calling each other idiots. The only way to save money without fearing being ripped off by shanghi in korea is to buy them from a retailer like newegg. I paid 70 bucks there for a 4gig sandisk duo. Ebay is filled with con artist. Alot of those fake memory cards didn't even work, had no chips in them at all, and there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it. **** Ebay.
as to the news of a 8gig, it depends on your interest/needs obviously. Some people will fill that with photos and music (probably the younger psp users who are not experienced in homebrew) and some will use the space for iso/cso files (thats a small percentage compared to the people who dont even know thats possible) Stop argueing about stupid ***** and calling each other names. Your only making yourself look even more retarded. There should be a age restriction on these sites.
Well welcome to the idot club then JimmyD, because you just called us idiots, and by your own logic(and I hate to call it that in reference to you), that makes you an idiot too. Bravo for proving you're idiot. Everyone point and laugh at the guy that's too stupid to insult others without insulting himself at the same time. HAHAHA!
hahaha...its funny because its true
didn't call anyone anything, only pointed out the most proper opinions on ya'll internet rejects
Wow, I guess you don't know how to read to well.
He used name calling twice in his post.
I choose not to accept the opinion of someone who's too illiterate to read the posts.
Go back to Kumon for another semester then give it another go.
Good boy.
OMG finaly!!!!i really want one....but....damm its 2 expensive!
hopefully ebay has em cheaper...
can u guys imagine how many freakin isos im gonna put in that thing???!!!!!!!1
how many?
maybe 6. wait a minnut... how much doz 10 games cost? round about $300 if im ryt. (i live in London) JEES U PIRATE
ironic. nice job. @mr.hankey
lol
well of course i could buy 10 games for 300 or less...but once i buy em...im stuk with those games!!!!u moron
the psp doesn't read more than 4gb, we can't use these. it would be nice though, i filled my 4gb pretty quick. maybe they'll be a frimware update to make psp read more than 4gb
then darl alex can make 3xx oe custom to use this ;-)
did you not read about the "adaptor"
Not to mention that any firmware starting from 2.81 and beyond was "upgraded" to accommodate for the 8GB sticks. Anything below that can only use 4GB.
lol retard there is 3.03 custom firmware and already is unlimited amount enabled in 2.81
Dude since firmware 2.82 the firmware has been patched to read more than 4 gigs jezuz man where the ***** have you been you *****ing moron get your ***** staright B 4 U *****ing post I bet you get your brains from your mothers side GOOF
I gave QJ this tip just to see how they would report on it.

"Your name (who should we thank?) - required:"
Thats cause your a *****got.
No, it's because QJ sucks ass at giving credit where it's due.
I no longer submit anything to them for that very reason.

» Heh
Thats cause your a *****got.
no, really I'm not, I've like girls my hole life.
haha stop lying u Fa*ot
i think you are the *****ot
guys, samantha is right.
Because there are alot of girls who post on the PSP comments section and of course the one 'girl' who does, somehow knows tinmanx. We have to believe him now.
lol at him trying though. fa**ot
(@ mr.hankey/zoltrix)
Yes, because obviously you're confirming your masculinity by calling other people *****gots.
Grow the f**k up.
Yea exacly!! thats what im doin!!! i knew u would understand!!!
I would rather buy another PSP..
but both are clueless.. :D
Not... buying this... yet...
QJ please stop unregistered comments - they're so pointless
yup qj some of themr just a bunch of cowards
and hides in anonimity while flaming(well we are already anonymous anyways eventhough we are registered)
Just ignore them, they're just kids after all. We've all been immature at some point in our childhood. Let them be, they'll change as soon as they can pay for their own bills.
i will buy this... i have the PSP camera, and i got ISO's, and PSX eboots... lots of music and Movies. photo's.. and 3.03OE firmware with alot of homebrew! =)
thought the psp camera wasn't out yet:S
Ever heard of import, kupo?
can 3.03 play emulators and homebrew if so how?
Great news!! And I was just thinking that 4GB didn't seem enough for me! :D
Any sites taking pre-orders yet?
FIRST
does yer ISP really slow or is it you that are stupid?
in the beginning, about a year ago the estimate was that these would cost 3000$ or more, so i think the price is actually really good, but i'm waiting for a cheap one on ebay anyway :-)
my first memory stick was a 1 GB one, that was 150$, in a store, now i got a 4 GB one for 80$ or something, since this is the capacity of 8 * 1GB(150$) this could be 1200$ ... if you think about that, this price is actually pretty good...
When the sandisk 8GB price drops from $1000 USD to 200 or 300 I'll be happy.

# Interface: 10-pin Serial Memory Stick« Interface and 4-pin Parallel

Why would one need 8gigs or storage on a PSP ;)
Now alll they have to do is make divx,ogm,mkv supported..and we have a reason for 8gigs of education material
PSPlayerMT dawg.
It's for PORN!
:P
Anyone who buys a Memstick that costs as much as the atual Psp needs their brain examined. This is a complete ripp off and is exactly why so many people are always bad mouthing Sony. The fact is, if this wasn't a propriety format you could get this sort of portable storage space for about $80-$100.
They will never learn!!
I'd like some 100$ 8GB CF plz
$300 bucks? I'll pass... i rather get two 4gb for $80.00 each. Also if I'm gonna pay $300.00 for storage it better be a 80gb harddrive for my psp. If they ever make one!
fink off all the porn and isos im in heaven
theres no porn in heaven
there is no heaven at all but porn is a fact ...
if the 4gigs memory costs 80$ ... why dont we buy two 4gigs memories = 160$ .... good idea
i tried this with a 1 gb and 2 gb stick but its a stupid idea.
Too much of a hassle of carrying around memory sticks and whatnot. Also the fact that you've got savedata, homebrew, movies, iso, etc spread across multiple memory sticks is fairly stupid imo...
Fry's had a sale during chrismas for the 4gb pro duo and on top of that had a $20.00 mail in rebate. Which end the price at $59.99 for a 4gb pro duo memory card. It's best to just wait for price drops and sales.
by spring the 8gb will be selling for $100 or less and the 16gb will be out before the summer and the 32gb before the yr ends. I told you guys the 8gb would be out jan-feb and now I told u the dates for the 16-32gb.
thats alot of porn :)
yay! isogalore *****az!
If you got this from an American site and you were in the UK, it is only £155.06, (quite cheap I think). But I will still wait a few months for a price drop.
i cant get enough of more n more free spaCe ... i nEEd morE
Why would you pay 300 bucks for a memorystick, its more than the psp itself!
quality..i might have to get one of these when they drop down in price, they'd have to be at least below £100 though...
think how many ps1 games and isos you could fit on it :D
This is great i do photography and i like using my psp for listening to music and playing some emulators.
So just using a 7.2mp camera and listening too alot of music i'm still going to fit it to the brim.
P.S The iso people would you shut up, now every freaking noob is looking to do it and the psp section is most active thread based on how much people can pirate. DAX and others gave us the gift of custom firmware and backing up own umd for assh0l3s on web to wreck it by forcing sony to develop a ultra strict force of encryption.
WE GET IT, YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY ISOS SO YOU'RE TEH COOLIEST 1337 HAXOR LETS ANNOUNCE IT EVERY POST. THERE IS SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE ON MULTIPLE FOURUMS OVER NET THAT CAN DO THE SAME SO STFU!!!!
300 bucks? and 4 months later it'll be on ebay for 150-200.
bout a year ago i bought a 2 GB stick off of ebay for 60 bucks. when in a store it was still 120.
yeah but all the one on ebay are made of cheese
It's probably fake, check if it supports magicgate.
I don't know what was that store... is in here Puerto Rico.. an original one and it was 85 in COMPUSA... in the sonystore... the 4gb was in 150 dollars.. so... 120? for 2gb?
first off alright! psx isos and such here we come!!
muahahaha... and screw those who are against it... they are the same people who says that videogames kills (like "jack@$$") and other religious zealots confusing the political landscape
for u idiots who go why not buy two 4 gigs? Cheaper than one 8 gig.. the point is so that you dont have to switch mem sticks all the time
