PSP Memory Cards

http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/3342833/Play-com-4GB-SD-HC-Memory-Card/Product.html

Will this work with my psp? Thanks :)

If not - what would from here? [at the best price] http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/6-/Search.html?searchstring=memory&searchtype=ELEC&searchsource=1


Are there any other better deals? I want as much space for as little as possible.

Thank you :)

    You need the memory stick pro duo, so the SDHC is no good unfortunately.

    £27.99 for the 4GB you were after.

    £15 on ebay, first class postage included, from a UK seller, buy it now.

    edit: as in it's buy-it-now, not an auction, it wasn't an order or a recommendation :P

    Thanks :)

    As long as it's a gig or more I don't mind what size, are there any better prices at all?

    Bit wary of buying from ebay cos i've heard lots of horror stories about the cards being fake.

    and if I search for 'memory stick pro duo' they'll all work? And no other format will? Thanks.

    As far as I know, it needs to be pro duo for the psp, yep.

    You get a lot of dodgy/fake memory cards and usb devices on ebay, so it's definitely something to look out for. Seller ratings mean !!!!!! all as well, because if it's a 512MB card made to look like 4GB, how many people will actually fill the card, then copy the data back off it to check before giving the rating?

    DON'T BUY OFF EBAY

    There are other places also that are selling fakes as well, I know someone who bought one from an online company and it turned out to be fake so there are too many fakes out there now to risk buying from unknown companies.

    buy the 4GB sandisk gameing from play £28 I think

    part of my collection of memory sticks and an old SD card like the one you were looking at.

    The 3 Memory stick pro duo cards yellow is 1GB, blue is 2GB and the red is the 4GB bought from play. the white one is a standard memory stick its about 1/3 longer, twice as thick and doesnt fit in the PSP. the SD well it is wider and has fewer contacts than the memory stick and pro duo.

    fake cards have problems normally reduced capacity cards showing larger capacities, when you breach the physical capacity you usually loose the data. not good if you have been playing a game for a while and your save game data is wiped.
