    If you were to have a game on the mem stick are the loading times much improved compared to accessing a umd?

    huge improvement as theer is no disk seek times which are huge compared to ram access times.

    Also consumes less battery. I'll be running all of my games from memorystick just for the obvious advantages... not to mention the more dubious applications.

    Yeah, I wouldn't bother mentioning them either. First class ticket to ban land :P

    How much space does the average game take up?

    400-500 megs

    I think only 200 for some though... games like Lumines are dead small; and he's announced his next game already as being a PSP version of Every Extend. Google and if you can find a DL mirror in english or read japanese send me a linky ;)

    Also, it's shareware on the PC ( to avoid that first class ticket ).

    If you save your ISO to memory stick you can also add your own music in for most games by converting your songs to ATRAC format and putting them in the music folder of the ISO. Makes Burnout so much more bearable :)
