Customer Review: Price Gap
Summary: 5 Stars
The prices on these are ridiculous. The 2GB--the next step up from this--costs, at the time of this writing, more than it would cost to buy four of these. The 512MB is maybe $20 cheaper than this one.
So the progression goes:
~$60(512MB)->$85(1GB)->$350(2GB)
Make your choice: you can either get four of these for 4GB, or one 2GB stick. Isn't it awesome how Capitalism makes everything completely nonsensical? Why do they do this?
The way things SHOULD work--the way the consumer/demand side is intended to function, to exercise the power it's been given--is, when the prices are that ridiculous, NOBODY should buy the ridiculously-priced item. Then, because nobody's buying it, it'll drive the price down. Then, everyone who wants one goes out and buys it on the same day, when the prices have been driven down.
Instead, everyone who can afford it rushes out and snags the biggest, best possible thing because OMFG 2GB MEMORY STICK! and the prices take months to drop to reasonable levels.
*sigh* I suppose I can't really expect any of this to change when we have a good chunk of the population of a major world power who voted for a leader so they could get a check for $300.
Customer Review: Much Better than Sony!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own this card and the Sony 1 GB version. This card when writing data to the psp via usb cable copied a 728 meg movie file in over HALF the time as the sony.
(...)
Also, I like the plastic case that comes with this card over the little sleeve that the sony card came with. The first day I had this card, I received the card at work. I put the card and the case in my pocket, then of course forgot it was in there.
Pants got washed over the weekend. I realized this after the pants were in the dryer, and a cold chill came over me remembering the card was in the pants!
After being washed and in the dryer, I though for sure it was toast. The card had a small water bubble i could see through the yellow casing. Popped it in my psp. It formatted fine. Then i copied my movie, which like I stated earlier, is still twice as fast as Sony's overpriced card.
I give this card TWO SUDS up.........
Customer Review: Worth it if you use it to store data other than game saves.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because I was purposely planning on using my PSP as a video/MP3 player as well as the original intended purpose of playing video games. :)
I've got six 1 hour television programs, a 2 hour movie I copied from my DVR and ran through compressors to convert to MP4 format, 4 or 5 pictures, and 15 mp3's. Tons of room on the chip, enough to where I'm considering buying a 2nd one to copy some TV shows onto for a car trip to Arizona.
The prices on them are really reasonable, and are only a few bucks more than the 512MB ones.
ANd if you're going to use the PSP for MP3 or video, the 32MB chip that comes with the Value Pack just doesn't cut it. Spend the extra money on the 1GB chip; you'll be immensely glad you did.
Customer Review: Ultimate little memory stick!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with this little card. I recently purchased a Sony PSP and the 32mb card that came with it really disappointed me. I went online to check my options and stumbled upon this little bad-boy. I ordered in hopes of satisfaction and this product delivered. I have now stored a bunch of MP3's that I like, a bunch of pictures and I still have 700 mb to spare. If I haven't gotten my point across, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a little more out of their PSP and I highly recommend buying from Tiger-Direct. They delivered a perfectly good product faster than expected. Booya! I need more PSP batteries.Customer Review: Lots of elbow room
Summary: 5 Stars
Ive just bought a PSP along with 3 games, a hard protective case, a USB/recharger cord as well as this little number. So far Im very happy with this purchase.
You would have to work pretty hard to fill this thing up with game saves. In truth I got this so that I can put movies on it and watch the things as I ride back and for to work on the train. With one gig most movies will fit on this with little if any loss of visible quality. Thats also a whole lot of music I can carry to pass the time during my commute.
Overall Im very glad I bought this.
