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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    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 ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,227 ✭✭✭✭Sparky

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


    It's the 1gb one.

    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

    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭voxpop


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,206 ✭✭✭kensutz


    I got mine from Stansted Airport


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 237 ✭✭mobileplaza


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


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

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


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


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,285 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,264 ✭✭✭JBoyle4eva


    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?

    Right lads,
    I have to invest in one of these too..

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭ondafly

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭jk2001


    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.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 6,525 Mod ✭✭✭✭dregin


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