Product Description
Amazon.ca Product Description
Building a better system from the ground up sometimes involves digging into even the most mundane components. Take memory cards, for instance. To provide larger storage capacity and faster access rates--PlayStation2 cards transfer data 200 times faster than cards for the original PlayStation--PlayStation2 developers have upgraded the technology for the new memory card. The 8 MB Memory Card uses Flash Memory, the storage technology that's revolutionizing handheld computers, digital cameras, and MP3 players. In contrast, the 128 KB memory cards that were designed for the original PlayStation use memory blocks. While large files can spill over several blocks, you can't store more than one file per block in that design, no matter how small the file. The 8 MB Memory Card allieviates that problem by organizing and storing files much more like a computer hard disk.

There are cheaper ones.
Aug 21 2003
I went to the store and picked up a second one, which was much cheaper, by like 10 dollars. The official memory card is alright. I think this memory card can get flimsy though, as in worn. Sometimes when I put it in, it doesn't always read the memory card, so sometimes I feel like I am going to lose all my saves, but here it is, it is exactly like those other memory cards. I have a second memory card, it is yellow and has some black markings with a black circle. It was about 25 dollars, at the time, it was much cheaper than this memory card, and it still works exactly like this one. I would just go buy the cheapeast one you see.
You need this!

If you plan on having any fun on your PS2, you must get this! Though Sony needs to make a larger one (maybe 32MB) to keep up with nintendos 1041 block(about 210mb)
A sports gamer's nightmare. But for others.....

This Memory card is Very reliable for keeping information, unlike the other crappy memory cards out there. I think it is absolutely great, but for a high price, however....
The price is insane. Amazon's prices are very reasonable compared to any others. Most of the Stores in my location sell these badboys for 25-30 dollars, even more than a controller costs! Some really nice stores will give you a more-than-reasonable price, such as movie gallery, which will sell for about 5-10 dollars.
I have never been a Sports game fan, so I have never had problems with my memory card being full. most of the games I own take up about 15 Bytes, which is, of course, very good. Sports games, however, take up most of the memory card, causing more thinning of your wallet to buy even more memory cards for insane prices. my friend has quite a few madden games, thus he has about 5 or 6 memory cards, costing him about the same price as his playstation 2!
These memory cards are perfect, I love them, but the price is just not right. they hold a very fair amount of space, but sport games overdo it.

A necessary "evil".
I have tried all sorts of memory card products to get around buying the expensive PS2 8MB card. The good news is that the Sony memory card is practically bullet proof. Read more

Sony produces 1 GB smaller memory sticks, this big card has only 8MB (which really sucks, because most of the games take over 1MB).. Read more

Neccesary but it cost more than you'd like it to.
When I say this is expensive I'm referring to the list price, not Amazon's price (some places even sell it for 40 bucks). Read more
