This is old news.
First of all pspupdates.qj.net is all about linking to the official post so it can never be as fast as that post. Secondly everyone knew that Sony would produce the 8 gig and next the 16 gig but the announcement of the new mem card wasnt official until recently.
He's right, the announcement was unofficial until now. $326 is friggin ridiculous, though. I have 7GB's of memory space (3 cards) and I only spent $100 for all of them. I wonder how long till counterfeit's are up on ebay.
the counterfeits are already being sold! Only about $100 bucks too! I have heard some counterfeits really are worth the price. But others are really 1 gb labeled as 8. So do your homework first.

Actually, they probably get you by saying that it is 8 gigabit (or just gb and then they can say it is gigabit when you question the size), which is equivalent to 1 gigabyte
there talking about a package that includes psp and 8 gb stick, and far as i care if i wanted a 8 stick i would purchase it on ebay for only like 120 bucks, i got a 4 gb card off ebay for $ 45 bucks with shipping and 2 weeks of waiting
old news....whoa that's deep
thats a hefty price -_- if only i had a job
i think it may be cheaper to wait until the 2gb are only 49 again (happened at my frys) and buy 4...only about 200...
umm u know that compusa sells the 2 gb for $45 right. i bought a 2 gb for my brother last week. but anyways i think my 4 gb is good enough for now. wat do i need 8 gb of memory for anyways i'm barely usin the 4 gb i have
yeh, newegg is selling 4gig sonys for 100 each, this $326 is way too much, for 200 again you get same amount, hope they drop price...
thats $415 australian :(
The 4gb is $310 australian over here ins sydney stores. I got myself a legit sony 4gb for $100. 4gb is more than enough. When I plug my 128mb card in and connect my psp to my laptop it recognoses it straight away. But when connecting the 4gb it takes ahwile. Like mentioned aboue it will have slow access. 4gb is perfect
if you have homebrew and movies on your stick trust me it fills up fast. I got my 2gig about 2 months ago and i'm already down to the less than 100 megabytes
I want one of these so bad, but I'll be contempt to wait until they fall to at least $200.00 or I can always buy a Fake on Ebay because they just have slightly lower read-write times but the same memory.
Please do not buy a fake from eBay. In my opinion, they aren't worth.
I got a 4GB memstick from ebay I KNEW was gonna be fake and I still love it, it writes a bit slow but read times are the same oh and no magicgate support...boohoo I guess LOL, for 70 dollars it was a great buy
buy fakes off ebay. I got a 2gig for 8 bucks. It lasted a while but evevntually broke. So then i stepped up to the plate and bought a high speed 2gig for 12 bucks. the 12 dollar stick is still working. i play my isos (backups). It is much easier to carry 1 stick with you than 10 umds.
Your attitude would be completely different if it happened while you were downgrading...
If you buy a stick off eBay, you're just asking to get ripped off! Be prepared when in two months the thing doesn't work anymore! Lower R/W times are just the beginning. Not only that, but there will be no warrantee -- and good luck if you want a refund! Sure, go ahead and buy fakes, but do not go around crying when you have to keep replacing them along with the data you will inevidably lose! Buying fakes will cost you more in the end, and frankly -- is a really DUMB move.
I'd rather buy 2 4 gigs instead of that rip off..
Well boy's and girls, I'm afrade I'm going to sit this one out
and wait for the 32GB Sony/SanDisk Memory Stick Pro-HG in
08-09. With a Double Expand Memory Converter for a total
of 64GB.
In a year, you'll be able to pick up this 7.35GB stick for
$69.99 on eBay, why spend 5x that now?
I'm holding out for the BiGun's, ho and in case one of you
noobs trys to start flaming about 32GB not being
supported, support will arrive for the 32GB just like it did
with the 8GB stick by way of firmware update or possibly
hardware update/newer version/model number, so just
keep your pie hole shut. This is a good thing.
Sure, I will w8 for PS4 released in 2020.....
And for a 1TB Mem Stick in 2030....
Sure, you can wait, but this is very dumb.....
o well, i hate flash storage, the price drops so fast and by the time its cheap, a better, higher capacity model is out
You hate the fact that the price drops fast and the tech advances fast? Would you prefer it if the price dropped slowly and there were never any improvements?
You're a moron.
Save some money and get some more games/consoles.
..what the?... Makes no sense.
i'd rather by four 4 GB ones at $89 each and have some $$ left over for a big bucket of KFC
If you live in New York, you ready for some rats in that bucket of KFC? lol.....
I bit into one... taste like chicken! lol
i have the 4 gb i got it for free I want the 8 gb so i can more games,vids,pics,music but i think i can wait for the price drop if you go to frys it's 79.00. 59.00 if it is on sale.
I've had serious doubts as to this before. Because all the OE firmwares use the 1.5 kernal for homebrew... wouldn't that mean that they don't support 8 gbs? Two 4 gbs really is a better deal in my book.
They'd BETTER release some sort of patch or small upgrade so my friggin VAIO can read the damn thing. What a damn rip.

You're not losing 650 MB due to formatting! It's because when people market devices, they put on the box a metric measurement of space. In this case, 8 GB as 8 billion bytes (8,000,000,000 bytes). However, when you measure space as it's done in software, according to (I think) the IEEE, in divisions of 1024 bytes. So, (((8,000,000,000/1024)/1024)/1024)=7.35. This is sometimes referred to as "Gibibytes," with subdivisions of "Mibibytes" and "Kibibytes." While you do lose some storage to partitioning, but not THAT much. It's division error and mislabeling. PLEASE, QJ, in an attempt to maintain some level of intelligence and credibility, stop spreading that LIE.
For example, you highlight some file on windows and it tells you its size i.e. 7.35GB. But when you go to properties it says something like 8,000,000,000
1 gb + 1073741824 (8gb + 8,589,934,592 bytes)
1 mb + 1048576 bytes
1 kb + 1024 bytes
you are right also 8gb is 8,589,934,592 bytes
but hes saying 8gb in marketers eyes is 8,000,000,000 bytes
oh and use + instead of +
good call kichigai for explaining the binary kilo and the metric kilo
this is also why you have less space than paid for on your hard drive
qj is just retarded
equals comes up as plus sign
how stupid
This marketing ploy has been around for a long time! In 2000, KiB, GiB, etc, had become adopted by some in order to alleviate the confusion between metric (1,000) and binary (1,024) values. We can all thank SeaGate for this disaster. Kichigai is 100% correct. Good work!
equal sign - +
plus sign - +
I cant wait till my indian drunkie friend gets this so I can take it out his psp while hes drunk again :)
what kinda friend are you stealing your dudes stuff?
people like you suck, you dont deserve to play.
How silly, I'd rather buy 2 more 4 gig sticks for 70-90 bucks a peice. I'd be afraid of using a stick that must be used with firmwre 2.81 and up... what if I have to downgrade to 1.5 (or reinstall the firmware) and suddenly can't use the stick anymore to upgrade back up? Not pretty.
I have bought 2 2gb Sony sticks, both turned out to be fake, 1 of them I can't get more than 805mb on, and the other, I just got plain lucky 1.93 is what it shows.
I bought a 4gb Sandisk for $67 here is the link-
http://www.discountsales.com/shop/shop_cgi/categoryindex.php?sku=1172701027
But if anyone is interested here's a lower price $216.58
http://www.pcsuperstore.com/products/L89002-Sony-MSXM8GS.html/froogle/
alot of money but imagine the isos on that thing woot
ganna keep my 4gb till 32's come out man those r ganna be sweet(but $$$$ probably 500-600$) but it'll be worth it,psp well be like a mini hard drive(more than a standard xbox 360 hd hell yea=-)) of course gatta wait a couple of years but well so be worth the wait + save of money=-) hopefully homebrew scene well still be around then
is gonna be the 32 gb external
is gonna be the 32 gb external
"New launches reports that the 8GB package will be sold in Japan starting March 9, 2007 for ¥ 38,000 or (get ready for it) US$ 325.63. 326 smackeroos!"
I hate the fact that memory sticks cost more money than the psp itself... ha I guess I'll just stick to the 1 gig memory stick I got for free in my entertainment package, unless of course the prices drop a ton.
can the 32GB sticks really double to 64GB? how does that work? i remember seeing, i think it was the 256MB sticks some had a double feature, but never knew how it worked. what i want to know is if you can use all 64GB or do you need to take it out, flip a switch and then get the other half. cause i think it would be cool to be able to use 64GB of stuff without ever needing to switch anything
There is a big, cumbersome thing that attaches to the back of your PSP allowing you to plug two separate memory sticks at once. There is not magic extra 32 GB on a memory stick, you are just using both at once because you are too lazy to switch them out.
I just read the news paper today and Fry's electronic just sell them for 250 bucks.
it has so less space because the the os and the manufactuer have tow different defenitions of gb
Keep to 2 Gig or Lower Pro Duo's
as Higher Sticks Means you have got alot more to Lose!!!
Money Wise & Data Wise............
Let me explain.........if will have to Pay $200 or £250 for a 8 Gig Stick, then you will be alot more Pissed off....
Secondly Data Wise, if you have a Large Amount of Game saves or Other Important Info on there, and it goes Wrong, and refuses to Load anymore, Like my 2 Gig Stick after 2 Weeks, i lost everything, well Pissed off,
and no i didn't think of Backing up the data First!!!! DOH
hey, just to make sure, but 1.5 didn't support 4gb memcards back then? it's kinda weird. i downgraded to 1.5 to uograde again, even reformatted my card from 1.5, and it did recognize my 4gb card...before 2.81 what was the limit supposed to be?
The pre-2.81FW supports up to 4GB. But you have to have 2.81FW+ to get up to 8GB.
the 8gb is more than the psp itself lol
if you live in a place where Costco is at... And if you have the coupon..
You can get five 2 gig memory sticks for your PSP for about $45 each, tax included. =]
Would the 8 GB memstick work on custom firmwares? They have components from both 3.0+ and 1.5
yes it would work
