    Quick question-

    this may be an awful stupid question, I bought a 16GB Sony ProDuo memory stick for my brother for his PSP. Now when he puts it in the computer it says there is 7.62GB free. That can't be right can it?

    Was it bought from eBay? Have you backed up and formatted the memory card? Are there any hidden files on it?

    Bought on eBay, came in packaging etc.
    Brother formatted it and there's nothing on it. He transferred some files to see if it made a difference, but it just used up say 25mb or something small. The large piechart that shows how much is free is like nearly all pink (free) and says the 7.62 or whatever it says.

    So do ye reckon tis really an 8gb one or something?
