Sandisk announces new 4GB Memory Stick for the PSP! |
Ó
SanDisk answered the call for the growing demand from users of the popular Sony PSP by introducing a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. It can store up to 64 hours of MP3 music tracks, 20 or more hours of movies/videos/film trailers, or 4,000 digital still images. Well not at the same time though. The announcement was made at E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.The 4GB card, which is expected to ship this month, carries a suggested retail price (SRP) of $219.99.
SanDisk co-developed the Memory Stick PRO format with Sony. Last year, SanDisk introduced the new gaming line of Memory Stick PRO Duo cards in semi-transparent neon colors. The new 4GB card is red. Can I say ISO Heaven?

So does anyone know if it will definitly work with 1.5? I know it should and the hard drive works but I just hope this does as well. Anyway yes, this will be ISO heaven.
Obviously its gonna work with all firmware
I thought qj.net was against piracy? What Gives?
...soopergooman do you really think they posted that just for ISO user........ :|
Isn't 2Gb the limit supported by 1.50?
well this will give ppl a way to put alot roms and emulator on their psp. sigh :( more piracy
I want one
Im getting one of these, i know there is already a 4gb memory card out, or atleast i think there is, but this one looks so cool and the price isnt too bad...
I buy my real highspeed 2gb memory sticks at ebay for 35 dollars from China's sony manufacturing company and cost me 20 dollars more for shipping and handling so do the math:
2gb sony highspeed memory stick: 55 bucks
4gb sandisk memory stick: 220 bucks
I know you know what is the best deal.
I still think these MSD's are insanely expensive, i wouldn't pay that much just for storing data on my psp.
now i gotta sell my datel
Yes, "Bored", 2GB is the limit on 1.5 firmware. The new 2.7 update allows for memory stick duo support over that limit.
>Can I say ISO Heaven?
I dont think in here
even though that is a lot of space
i dont think it will be 1.50
compatible
(correct me if im wrong)
it would be alot better if they lowered the price just a bit($10)
then more ppl would buy it bc its about the same price of the psp
either way its still a good deal
HOMEBREW RULZ!!
We're against piracy...I just posted that because bigger memory sticks are generally used only for ROMs and ISOs. We do not support piracy in any way.
Message to the foolish people: 1.5's support up to 4 gigs, as do the rest of the psp's, including 1.0. How do you think the 4 gig datel hard drive works on 1.5? It isn't magic....
So this memory stick will definitely work on 1.5, albeit a bit pricey :/
1.5 supports 4 gigs. How else would the datel drive work? That's 4 gigs. The psp recognizes the datel as a memory stick. Over 4 gb will not work on 1.5, but I don't care, by the time 8 gig sticks comeout, you will be able to buy 2 4 gigs for cheap.
1.50 is compatible with the 4gig, remember the Datel hard drives? Those are 4 gigs and compatible with 1.50.
Good, I didn't remember about the Datel hard drive...
Thanks, mates.
I could almost get two psp's for $220!!! 4 GIGs on one stick is awesome, but two 2 GIG sticks is a much better deal:)
WASSUP MIKTAR!!
im going to get this and put pirated movies,iso,pira ted music,and porn
hey i hope the lower the stick price
at
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4102160
So get it there and save money when it's released in a couple of weeks.
1.50 Limit: 4gb
so, 4get about the 8gb stick... but we can have this one (as well as Datel (sucky) 4gb drive
All firmware can read up to 4GB, 2.7 is 8.
I liek the red color, I might buy this if I find a good deal, the 2GB have been sold for less than $60, so the 4GB might be seen as low as $100. If I see one for that price, I will snatch it right away!
i like poo poo and pee pee
I wouldnt say chocolate 'heaven', then say im against chocolate...
I dont think the price is that bad. I mean it will probubly be less on a site like newegg. When the 2 gigs first came out they were about that much and now you get twice as much space. Sandisks original price prediction was around $280, which I was ready to pay, so I'm happy with $220.
How do you propose "ISO heaven"? XD
Since when did QJ.net support piracy? I thought they'd never mention "ISO", but oh well. 4 Gigabyte will seem pricy but by then i'll be working my ass off :).
A PSP can support up to 8GB of memory stick so no worries.
I would say that the largest files on the psp are usually movie files (full length movies often 500 megs). ISO's can be larger (max 1.8 gigs) but many of them are 400 megs or less. Also, people have been able to delete useless files to reduce even the large umd ISOs.
GB, GBA, SNES, and n64 roms are insignificant in size and are not at all anything to worry about size wise.
Also, for one's so against piracy, it's somewhat hippocrytical to describe an ISO heaven... Pesonally, I think pspupdates should embrace ISO loading of your legally ripped games (ones that you own!). Noone likes to carry umds around and the speed/battery bonuses of reading off the memory stick are nice.
I would get the 4g stick if it wasn't more expensive than the psp! Maybe in a while when the price is resonable (for me that would be $100 or so).
it is 1.5 compatible!!! my datel 4 gig hard drive is compatible. it can hold about 8 of my uncompressed iso's. legally backuped, of course. so it must be 1.5 compatible
it is 1.5 compatible!!! my datel 4 gig hard drive is compatible. it can hold about 8 of my uncompressed iso's. legally backuped, of course. so it must be 1.5 compatible
and number 33, 4 gig is the limit. Try a 8 gig on it. it wont work. 4 gig is the limit. or atleast until there is some firmware upgrade that installs new FAT info on it.
So its not ok to say ISO but its ok to say ROMs? WtF!? ROMS are copys same as ISOs
uh oh.... ISO ISO ISO ISO ISO *****ing ISOOOOO!
SUE ME!
You all go on about the "EVIL ISO" but how is an ISO copy different to a ROM copy? There still copys even if roms are old there still not abandonwhare and carry copyright.
I love piracy, ***** is overpriced. If companys put decent prices on things in the first place people wouldnt need to copy stuff.
I completely forgot about the Datel drive. But, according to the playstation.com FAQ for the PSP, there might be issues with memory cards with over 2gb of free space. I haven't used one myself, I'm just going off of what's posted on the last question here: http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP/Support/TroubleShooting/faq.html
dats cool, u dont gotta have dat big bulgy hd on da back on plus dat color is frikn hot!
t will work mabye on 1.50 but i dont know cuz u guy's know that all memory card's take less space then what they say like for example 1gb is like 956mb like that so it might be like but for the 8gb u guy's will need an upate
u know wat sux tho... i got a 1gig for 110$ around christmas time. (wat a rip off for me) o well.... atleast i enjoy my 1gig :)
Wow lets buy a mem stick thats more than the system.... If you use it for music hell at that much go but a damb i pod or an mp3 player (personally hate ipods) but for *Cough* iso people this is a dream... NEXT THE MASSIVE 8GB THEN THE 100GB!!!!!!!
Kinda sucks that people had to waste money on buying a datel harddrive:
1) Bulky
2) Transfer speed limited to usb
3) Seperate cable to attach from hd to usb
4) Expensive
5) Not sure (someone correct me) but did it require a seperate power source?
um the datel drive isn't usb, it's a microdrive that has an ata/compact flash interface which datel has converted into a memory stick interface.. it's also powered by the psp. the reason it's slower is because there's an actual disk in there and moving parts rather than just solid state memory
get a NEO PSP PAD + 4GB microdrive!
neoflash.com makes then, there is a list of resellers like divineo or ic2005
its much better than the DATEL thing, it allows you to put MemoryStick, SD, CompactFlash (/4GB microdrive!) and use then on the psp
it also allow you to put ur rechargeable AAs, its the best to hook everything up! check that people, its a much better deal than the datel crap
!!!!!
OKAY LISTEN YOU TOOLS:
1. This is compatible with 1.50 OKAY>!??!?!?!?!! OKAY?!?!
2. ISO's could refer to the ISO's for the new PS1 EMULATOR! 100% LEGAL! OKAY?!?!?!?!?!
3. ***** YOU FOR ALL BEING DUMB AND ASKING THIS STUFF
Sorry I had to yell but jesus, you people keeping bitcing and complaining about "not-1.5" and "legal?."
Shut the hell up.
Yeah the Datel's just a crappy Microstor microhdd... they aint so reliable either. Better off putting a Hyundai drive in or a CF 4GB.
The Bulky thing was kinda cool though, made it feel a little better in the hand when playing some games. Wont miss it though.
And what's up with that dude on #8.. talking about his Sony sticks from China... haha, Sorry to tell you they aint Sony sticks bud..
yeah, those are fake cards
the neopsp pad is much more confortable to hold, it allows you to put more memory types (MS, Microdrive, SD)...
ive got mine from IC2005.com they are very fast, and its cheap there (shipping included) !
I don't know, I just got a 2 gig card and when using it with firmware 1.5 it would always freeze when exiting movies or looking through pictures...I updated to 2.0 and had no problems....man I have so much on my 2 gig It would be crazy having 4 gigs.
2 Gig Duo's should work fine with 1.5, odd that upgrading to 2.0 resolved the issue for you.
It's a strange world.
yeah #44 is right. 4GB is the 1.5 limit, so 8GB is out of the question, BECUASE the PSP (1.5) uses FAT16, which limits to 4GB. The newer future FWs will support more than 4GB.
ISOs may be legal, if you own the game, or if the original owners abandoned it.
Amazon has 4GB duos for 220, just search amazon for 4GB you'll find the one they designed for Mobiles but a pro-duo memstick is a pro-duo memstick, it just wont be Red.
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **********
Speak of Datel. Did bought a WiFi Max (Yes, a Datel thing) and yes it works great! Problem is my computer starting to freeze when have it connected to a USBport. So the best way to use it is not use it.
"ISOs may be legal, if you own the game, or if the original owners abandoned it."
do your ever read about the "TERMS AND CONDITION"
if not then start reading on it.
is it worth it for the price...?
tell me now
219.99 ?? That's actually not too bad a price
Sony have shown both 4GB and 8GB at E3. no price or release date (from what i have read on IGN)
Is there any difference besides the color? It seems like the 4Gb gaming version is red and the non-gaming version will be blue. Thanks

Sorry for the double post. When I submitted the first time, it gave me a DB connect error so I assumed it didn't go through. I don't want people to ignore my question because it looks like I am impatient and posted the same thing twice.
yea, by sayign sry for a double post, u triple posted, lol and no1 cares if u double post here, the comments get spammed up anyway, its on forums where ppl booste their post count
As far as Ive ever heard, there is no diff with the gaming version, I think they just say its the gaming version cuz it looks more gamer-like since its transparent
Just get 2 2GB sticks.
I asked SanDisk customer service what the specs for the gaming cards are. They responded that the Gaming Memory Stick PRO Duo have a transfer of 1.8MB/sec (that is mega bytes per second). Thier product page for the Standard Memory Stick PRO Duo states a transfer rate of 15Mb/sec (that is mega bits per second). Converting from Mb to MB gives basically the same value. Thus, the only difference I can see between the Gaming and Standard Memory Stick PRO Duo cards from SanDisk seems to be the clear cases on the Gaming sticks. Now, the Ultra-II cards have faster tranfer rates (9MB/sec write, 10MB/sec read), according to the product pages.
One question that I have, but SanDisk didn't answer, is: What is the max read/write speed that the PSP supports for the memory stick? The 4-5x speed of the Ultra-II looks enticing, but if the PSP is hard-wired to only read/write at a max of ~2MB/sec, then the extra speed capability is wasted. Does anyone know if the PSP can actually take advantage of a Memory Stick that has faster read/write speeds, if so what is the max speed that the PSP can support in the card slot? (Any H/W guys here still reading this thread?)
All three types have 4GB models announced, and I just froogled them for prices, and here are my results:
Gaming 4GB - MFG#SDMSG-4096- Not found by froogle...
Standard 4GB - MFG#SDMSPD-4096 - Lowest prices around $160USD
Ultra-II - MFG#SDMSPDH-4096 - Lowest prices around $190USD
some asswholes here think that theres a limit. they just think they know *****. Prove it*.
/ /( . )( . )\ \
Thinking of getting a 2gb Ultra II for 50AR (OUTPOST), good deal?? Also never done Iso images for psp, how much space does a PSP game iso take? wondering if to wait for a deal on a 4gb or just get this 2gb.
THANKS!
yes thats , the psp is capable of holding upto 35 gig on a mem stick duo but first they have to make a stick that size and secondly you may have to think about selling your house $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
