Where did everyone buy their Mem Duo cards ?

Placebo · 30-08-2005 12:14pm #1

I think i seen one in HMV for around 150. 1 GB. unless it was 512mb :S
liksang+delivery, roughly ends up kinda the same ?

for your PSP's obviously.

edit : titles corrected \/

Ciaran500 · 30-08-2005 12:20pm

You mean memory stick duo's? Cause if you bought a SD card for the PSP you are going to be awfully dissapointed.

Placebo · 30-08-2005 12:29pm

yes them, i forgot what they were called. look like SD cards.

kaisersose77 · 30-08-2005 1:40pm

Well you can get them off ebay for about 75 euros including delivery from US sellers and it takes about 4/5 days usually.

Or you go into any ripoff irish store selling psp stuff and pay twice that

Placebo · 30-08-2005 2:50pm

damn they are all decent prices !

Sparky · 30-08-2005 5:17pm

Have you tried pixmania

qz · 30-08-2005 6:03pm

Got mine for €140 in town in a small camera shop, can't tell you where cause I don't know!

The Real B-man · 30-08-2005 6:06pm

It was in Dublin Camera Exchange on trinity street I think.

It's the 1gb one.

godtabh · 30-08-2005 8:38pm

I got 2 1GB ones from outpost.com for €143. Only thing is I got them delivered to my sister in NY. She is home in a week so then I'll have one stick for my SE K750i and one for the PSP!

Well worth it to get delivered to any one you know on a J1

Talisman · 01-09-2005 10:06am

I bought a 1GB SanDisk MS DUo on eBay for €95.

My cousin told me that Woolworths in the UK are doing a special introductary offer of a game and a 512MB stick for £29.99 - I don't know if you have to buy a psp at the same time to get the deal though.

godtabh · 01-09-2005 10:34am

Game Stop are doing a 1GB one for €119. Not bad really

voxpop · 01-09-2005 12:30pm

do you need a 1GB mem card or is it only really useful for homebrew stuff ?

kaisersose77 · 01-09-2005 12:40pm

The 32mb is fine for save games etc, the 1gig is handy for good quality full movies and music. But seeing as you can get the 1gigs off ebay for just 75 euros including p+p , they are worth getting. But no way would i pay over 100 euros for one, I'd buy two off ebay before i'd do that.

kensutz · 01-09-2005 6:04pm

I got mine from Stansted Airport

mobileplaza · 01-09-2005 6:26pm

impluse buy when i got my psp in game this morning €149 1gb. i would have purschased online if i had a card!

bombidol · 02-09-2005 8:35am

How many movies could you fit on a 1gb? im thinking you can compress the hell out of them yeah?

godtabh · 02-09-2005 8:47am

I've got about 10 dvds comprssed and the average one will fit on the 512mb card while 2 or 3 need the 1gb card.

I think it all depends on quality and software u use

Ciaran500 · 02-09-2005 8:57am

Is there anywhere around town that is anywhere near the €73 ebay price? Or should I just give up and order it ebay.

godtabh · 02-09-2005 9:06am

CHeapest I've seen it in town in €119.

Best bet is ebay or outpost.com (I think about €90 delivered to Ireland)

JBoyle4eva · 02-09-2005 11:36pm

I'm not sure did my brother tell me this right, but in PC World their doing them for €50?

He said they were 1GB, but they can't be can they?

Chardee MacDennis · 03-09-2005 11:24am

from pcworld not a chance!! their number in blanch is 01-8025555 if anyone wants to double check11

techguy · 06-09-2005 10:27pm

Right lads,

This sounds really stupid but are the memory stick pro duo and memory stick duo the same?? Are pro duo's for psp and pro are not..

How much do the umd's hold..
ANybody know how to boot homebrew apps on the v1.52's, is it illegal or just some certain apps..

Thanks,
Hakko

ondafly · 07-09-2005 7:54am

picked a 1gig up from ebay - 80euro all in.

jk2001 · 09-09-2005 8:12am

Full range of PSP cards also available here: http://www.shop4memory.com/products/memory-stick-duo.asp. Irish company with free delivery. Prices look decent too.

dregin · 09-09-2005 8:19am

Myself and Winters came together yesterday in a moment of passion and bought 2Xgig cards from komplett. €115 including postage I do believe.

Franky Boy · 09-09-2005 10:06am

That a deadly price.
Are you sure it's P&P inclusive?

jk2001 · 09-09-2005 10:11am

Just checked the shop4memory site. Their price for the 1Gb cards is € 117 incl delivery. They seem to have them in stock.

andy1249 · 09-09-2005 10:39am

Got mine from komplett for 115 , Sandisk version , this comes with an adaptor to change to standard memory stick ,so I can also use it in my DSCP100 camera , 400 pictures at 5 megapixel , and can then be loaded straight into the PSP for a slideshow , Cool !!

mayto · 09-09-2005 11:18am

Anyone speak french? this site http://mgmi.fr/recherche/recherche.asp has 2 gig pro duo's for 150 euros but i dont know if they deliver to Ireland.

techguy · 09-09-2005 11:47am

I wouldn't be too keen on buying from that site cause it's in french etc..
but it's probably only a matter of time before theyare available on eBay..

Oh Yeah, it memory stick pro duo for the psp right?nothing else?
Thanks,
Hakko

wolfman · 10-09-2005 12:08am

1 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo for 119.99 lads
Only problem is, almost sold out, but more coming in the next few days
Free Shipping to Ireland & UK

dimerocks · 10-09-2005 9:08am

the prices will drop eventually right?3rd party companies hopefully will get in on the act.

kaisersose77 · 10-09-2005 9:17am

You'll never get them cheap in ireland!

, shops in france sell 1gigs for 80 euros and the site posted above has 2gigs for 150 euros which is too good to be true as you would be lucky to get one for under 300 euros anywhere else. Ebay has 1gigs for about 75 euros including delivery and insurance but it seems like nobody here trusts ebay. Hopefully ebay sellers start selling the 2gigs for about 150 euros soon.

ps: sandisk are just as good as the sony ones and cheaper

I still use the 32MB card out of my sony ericsson phone. It still does the job for now but I will probably buy a bigger one on ebay. You can actually get a lot of good deals. Just try to do some history checking about the seller. Sure I got my japanese PSP on ebay for £125 sterling. The US device had been released and everyone was after them so I go the Japanese one cheaper. Haven't had any problems with it it.

techguy · 10-09-2005 12:42pm

I have seen a 2GB disk on ebay for €207 but thats too much in my opinion I will just get a 1GB for the time being and see how I go. I'd say by this time next year it will be all 2GB+ mem stick pro duo's...and they will probably all come down in price too, maybe I'm wrong but it's usually the case with everything...

P.S. Anyone who bought off ebay,could you care to let us know who you got your cards from..

£52(including s/h and insurance) converts to ~ E80. decent price

Winters · 10-09-2005 4:25pm

I got a 512mb one in Munich, I got another 1GB one from Komplett, then I have the 32mb one I got with the PSP and a 64MB one I got with my SonyEricsson K750i.

I have a second 1GB one in the post from komplett atm too.

I used to use the 32mb card for saved games but with all the wipeout gamma/classic packs [I have the US Wipeout and Jap PSP] taking up so much space I've swopped it with the 64mb stick from my phone [which now uses my 512mb card]

Yea, I've far too many Memory Sticks.

shortys94 · 11-09-2005 8:58am

yea, used to be 1-2 days lol, obviously alot of people got it

fifth · 11-09-2005 10:04pm

Tip, whatever you do, do not buy them from xtra vision. They are charging at least €20 extra on top of say, gamestop.

techguy · 12-09-2005 1:18am

*Transfer and playback of secured music on Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media (e.g. music purchased from online music services) is not currently possible. This media does support the playback of unsecured MP3 music files.

Does this mean that I cannot put any random music onto this card? Does it have to be legit music that was purchased online??

dregin · 12-09-2005 6:31am

LOL, that is absolute bull****.

You can put any music that doesn't have DRM (Digital Rights Management ) onto your stick and I would imagine that this is the majority of your stuff (unless you've bought everything from iTunes..)

Where did everyone buy their Mem Duo cards ?
