Sony 8MB Memory Card PS2

Pros: Space
Cons: $

Remember in the old days when you had the memory card for the PSX? That memory card could save you up to 15 games. Games like NBA Live 2001 could save up to 2-5 slots on your MC. (Memory Card) Im glad I purchased my new memory card for the PS2.
...

Pros: reliability, storage space, load time
Cons: price, color options

You are probably reading this review because you are debating whether to purchase this memory card or the mad catz card to save a few bucks. Here is what I think:

Overall, the two cards are identical in many areas. They have the same...

Pros: Easy to use, holds a lot of data, loads quickly.
Cons: I'll have to get back to you.

First off, let me just say I have never had a PS1. I have never used one either. My opinion is completely based upon PS2. So, I can't really compare products at all.
Yes, the PS2 memory card is a bit on the pricey side, but if you want to get...

Pros: Holds more data than your average 3 1/2 computer disk
Cons: Doesn't come with the system

If you have already brought a ps2 then You may have found out the hard way that game data from a ps2 game CANNOT be saved onto a ps 1 memory card. In fact you need a 8mg memory card. This doesn't mean throw your old card away, because for all your old...

Pros: Very fast data transfers; Small but durable.
Cons: Doesn't come with plastic storage case.

When Sony first came out with its memory card for the PlayStation, it was very good, except for the fact that it had some sluggish data transfer times. Well, Sony took all the stops to make the 8mb Memory Card for the PS2 the best memory card ever! No...

Pros: High Transfer rates Large storage space
Cons: Hefty price tag for memory card

Don't buy the cheaper third party memory cards for the PS2 if you plan to go online in the future. SONY has a special chip containing encryption data that only exists in their cards called "Magic Gate". As far as I know this chip technology has not been...

Pros: It's Sony and goes perfect with the PS2.
Cons: Costs too much. Only 8MB of memory.

Hopefully Sony will come out with something better in the future, but for now, this will do just fine. I'll just get right to it, and tell you the problems I have with this thing. It holds 8MB of memory, and that doesn't seem like very much to me. I'm...

Pros: is really fast, works great
Cons: is really expensive

I bought a ps2 and gran turismo 3, much to my dismay there was no memory card in the box. Now how do I play this game that takes countless hours w/o a memory card? Well, I had to go buy one, so I did. It was very expensive but none the less...

Pros: Saves game data well, made by the people who made the PS2
Cons: pricey pricey pricey!

Do you have a Playstation 2 entertainment center? If you do, (which you should, if not buy one right now :-) )do you have any games?
If you answered yes to both of those questions, then you will need a memory card.
So far, a couple months...

Pros: 8000 megabites of space. Data is not easily corrupted.
Cons: Easy to lose and a bit pricy.

The PS2 memory card is a large step-up from the original memorycard for Playstation (As is the system itself). Instead of only 15 blocks, it gives you a full 8000 MB [megabites] of space. Although you must buy something to store game saves on PS2, it can hold more than X-Box and Gamecube.

The PS2 memory card allows you to save your game, copy it to another card, and delete information in quick easy-to-use steps. Also, the memory card is designed to fit in any game case that PS2 makes because of it's compact design.

There are even a plethora of colors to choose from: Blue, red, green, clear, black, gray, etc.

If you are new to getting a Playstation 2 system, you'll need to buy a memory card if you wish to advance in any of your games.
