Memory Cards

[old.UKTwister]

What a rip off these memory cards are? do any other people sell cheaper 8mb ones?

If you're talking about the PS2 stick with the official one as the other one I tried was crap and required a cd in the drive at every power on.

Cant beat offical products. I never buy unoffical stuff unless its things like Region X

30 quid for a bloody fucking memory card?

BUT, if you bought an unofficial product for say £15, then not long after you bought it, it stopped working (talking from experiance) then u either decide to buy an unoficial one, and risk it been shitty, and breaking easily, or you buy an official one, with guarentee etc

I know which one i would choose now

 

[Munkey-]

but still. 30 quid........jeez. could buy a new PS2 game or PC or 2 PSX games for that.

You should need one.

You can fit loads on it though. I have all 12 games saved on it (bar smackdown which has a stupidly large save)

 

[Munkey-]

just found a tenner so i might buy one

 

[Sir Frizz]

its all to get us *stupid* customers to pay more :/

Also it is better. As instead of using blocks to fill it, it uses the specific ammount of space (kb). So if a game doesnt use much space, on the old cards, it would have had to use a full block, but the new ones allow it to take only the needed space. This makes it cheaper as you don't have to buy a new card as often as there aint no blocks to fill.

 

[Munkey-]

but can be confusing

Iirc the story of the "no more non standard memory cards" began when sony realised that they were getting beaten silly by everybody and losing a revenue stream because of it.

So for the PS2 they built in some proprietry shite which is part of the reason why you can't save PS1 games onto PS2 memcards.

 

[Munkey-]

and thats why i also hate sony. damn gits
