8GB Memstick Pro Duo available next month (February)

Posted by multippt

Often think that your 4GB memory stick still does not provide enough storage for your emulated games legitimate information, this 8GB memory stick sure will!

The memory stick weighs at a light 2 grams, and is of the same size compared to any other Memory Stick Pro Duo. With this much space, you will never have to worry about not having enough space for your 2000 songs (in MP3) collection.

The memory stick can be purchased next month from “Sony Style” (online and retail stores) and authorized dealers. Although the memory stick may be small, it’s pricetag is bound to leave a mark on your wallet (it costs US$300, which is roughly the same cost as a 500GB hard disk).

Note that if you wish to use the 8GB memory stick (or memory sticks with more than 2GB of space) without any problems on your PSP, you may have to update your PSP to the official firmware, 2.70 (that unfortunately means, no homebrew happiness [if you update past 2.80]) (it is not known whether if the custom firmwares [2.71 SE, 3.02 OE and 3.03 OE] fixed the memory stick problem).
