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?

» Theres more than isos
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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
