Now, will the PS2 recognize stuff that big, I have no idea!]]>Nov 20th 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/
hope that $1500 ain't fo' reelz!

Just get an iPod or equivalent DAP that would play upwards of 10GB... for around $300. You're paying 5x more if you get a PSP and the 8GB stick...



Anyone doing that must be insane.

And Sony must be insane for charging such outrageous prices as those.]]>Jan 6th 2006 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/


PSP: Yes this is true it can only read 4gb at present]]>Jan 6th 2006 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/
I refuse to believe that it will hit at anything near that price. It is almost better to not bring a product like this to market if you can’t justify or make the cost “sensible”. At 1.5k I could potentially by THREE PS3, from the same company no less! TRUST ME. THAT PRICE AINT REAL!!]]>Jan 6th 2006 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/


I'm really not sure would would buy this. Maybe professional photographers? The price just seems way too high.]]>Jan 6th 2006 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/


Wait a year after SanDisk releases their version of the 8gb and 4gb sticks, and then buy them. Pure guessing here, but I'd say end of 2006... maaybe $300 for the 8gb. Less than $200 for the 4gb.]]>Jan 6th 2006 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/


I wouldn't mind 4gb in my PSP. I'd load up more videos than I do now.]]>Jan 6th 2006 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/


That does not include any games movies etc. Tell me again why its a good idea to purchase a PSP?



Wouldn't a video IPod and DS give you more bang for the buck?]]>Jan 6th 2006 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/
stoopid prices :P]]>Jan 6th 2006 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 6th 2006 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/


"Only Sandisk and Sony can produce memory sticks"



You are wrong.

The PSP is still great, and would be amazing with an 8 gig in it. At a pricepoint of you say 550, its not bad at all. Why? Well of course this is illegal, but if you go to Hong Kong, and snoop around in the electronics district, you can pick up DVDs with PSP games and movies burned on them. Copy them onto your memory stick, and they play.



At the place I visited, they were selling like 12 DVD disks filled with PSP stuff at only 300 HKD...under 50 USD. So that equates to almost every PSP game out. And heck, they even downgrade for you for free there. Ah yes, Hong Kong is great. Too bad I wasn't brave enough to try their downgrader.



But 8 gigs...thats wonderful news, because that means that the gig and 2 gig prices will continue to go down.

a sony 1GB stick now on avarage is £60 ish

I estimate the price of a 1GB stick will be after 8GB release... on avarage... £30



so then the 8GB will be... £250 ish



thats alot, but then thats 16 full length movies about 8000 MP3's... i cant be assed to work out the game saves...



so thats good....



and remember... you have in a psp a portable movie player, portable MP3 player, Portable gaming station and more



so even though you have the psp, the 8gb will allow you to have most your mp3's and video collection on there and still have room for gaming and saves]]>Jan 12th 2006 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 17th 2006 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 18th 2006 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/
A 2gb stick will hold a tons of games, enough music to keep me entertained when commuting and store hi-res photos. Larger capacity sticks will cause a significant price crash! Happy days!]]>Jan 20th 2006 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sonys-memory-stick-pro-duo-pushing-8gb-in-2006/Jan 30th 2006 3:59PM
