so how much do you think one of these 1gb memory sticks cost (in Canadian dollars)? i want to buy a 512mb stick but how much does that hold? i just want to put my tv shows onto the psp along with my music and a few saved games, and some photos in the future for when the psp camera comes out. but is 512 mb enough for that or should i just buy two?

PSP’s hard to find? Really?

I cruised by my local Wal-Mart here (NB, Canada), and they had bout 15-20 on the shelf just waiting for purchase (I believe it came with spider man 2 movie, and gretzky hockey) - just under 350 (Canadian ofcourse).

Well, I’m not in Canada you see. :) Here they are impossible to find. Part of the point of this was to determine where they are hard to find, and where they aren’t. Apparently the PSP sells better in certain areas - it would be interesting to dive in deeper and find out why.

I don’t know how you got this info but according to people that have sent in reports to IGN from all over the country, the PSP launch didn’t sell out in most places.

I don’t think that people suddenly bought them all up in the last 4 days.

I went into Toys R Us near me and they had an entire stack of unsold PSPs. I asked the clerk how they were selling and he said that they weren’t really selling and he had 5 returns on it already (this was only 2 days after launch).

Wow, five returns? I wonder what caused that. I’d imagine dead pixels and they were exchanged for good systems, but it still makes me wonder.

2GB Memory Stick Duo sells here (Vancouver, BC, Canada) for $359..

.. more than my PSP! But I’d like to get my hands on one of those.. =)

Well, I am quite surprised of this situation about Sony PSP in US! I live in Italy and we have not a date of the launch on the market yet so I was reading your comments; that’s all. I would like to know if there is a ” memory card ” created for PSP only or it is possible to use every kind of memory stick of different brands; Is there someone who can give me this information? Thank you in advance.

Psp hard to find? where the heck are you at, I just trecked all across the US and couldn’t find a sold out store. The 1 gig hard to find… well DUH nobody is going to buy it its way to expensive, especially after you just bought Sony’s over-priced,half-assed, and “proprietary” accesory bundle thing.

I got my self a PSP, but it was the secound shipment soo….. I didn’t get a free copy of Spidy2 :(

oh well, now I just needa find a good price on some 1gb sticks, or find out if I can use my 1gb and 512 stick of SD memory…. hmmm?

Buy them on ebay they are cheaper

Here In Chicago Psp’s are impossible to find. I wish i lived wherever you all lived.

I asked a guy with 3 PSP [1 U.S, 1 Japanze, 1 U.K.] how much a PSP 512 mb memory card he said that the 512 mb can hold 5 south park episodes [avrige amont of time 30 min]and the 1gb can hold half of band of brothers last he said the 2 gb [only japanze soon U.S.]can hold the 3 lord of the rings :}

WOW, 3 Lord of the Rings! thats a lot! And 3 PSPs! WOW

Who in the hell wants 3 PSPs anyway? Sure he may know a helluva lot, but my God! 3!!!!????

But sill birdman, 3 PSPs would be cool!

How you put tv shows onto the memory stick

God that guy should two of his PSP’s, how much would he get………….I don’t mabye $400

add sell

poop

i got two poop

psshttt… thats nothin, i got a hook up with a 8gb memory chip from the underground

Who cares how many psp’s and accesories you have!?! I know I couldn’t give a fuck if I wanted to…. If u have a PSP, then answer peoples quesstions… stop braging! Nobody knowss you here, thus they don’t give a fuckin hell

Why the heck won’t someone tell me how to put south park onto my freakin PSP

Hey g stop bragging about a 8gb memory card. Everybody knows your telling a freakin joke:(

If anybody has cheats for untold legends:brotherhood of the blade
please write back to joesmith

COOL!!! They have custom headers for everything except FlipStart and OQO!

does anyone know if there is a way to make ur SD memory card compatable with the magicgateduo one? email me at Zakk110@aol.com or IM me, im always on

I know where all the 1.0 GB memory sticks are in the U.S, 82% of these god damn muther fuckers are in MIAMI, FL. This sucks so much ass.

I looked all over in sudbury ontario and all stores are complitly out of stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!come on!!!!!!!!!!

i want 2 no. how much more stuff can u put on a 1gb then a 512mb?help me out here which one should i buy???????????????????????????????

i live down here in miam and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find it anywhere. ive checked bestbuy, walmart, target, circuitcity, EB games, toys r us, k mart, and in my local mall

noone has it. i call every single day and i always get the same answer. its like the exact hour that i dont call them, they sell out. i will go crazy soon if i dont get it.

i had a question about the upcoming GTA game for psp… is it gonna be the old “areal view” version of GTA or the newer versions?

well john, i put 1 1/2 hours of tv on it with great quality, 200mb of compressed music (about 70 tracks) and all my save games. all on a 512 mb card but with all the new stuff coming out like the camera, your likely going to need more space but if your going to want more than what i described above, then you might wanna stick around for when you find a 1gb (which is all the space you should need)

Staples website has these memory sticks for sale. Just got mine in the mail a few days ago. They also have the 2Gig one.

FIVER your a bull$|t artist, staples doesnt even carry the 1 gb memory card let alone a 2 gb

Do us all a favor and get a life rather then posting on here bs stories of how you just got your memory card. Face the facts your a poor son of a b}t(h that cant even afford to purchase a PSP let alone a 1 gb memory card

GET A CLUE and while your at it get a life!

I cant find any 1gb’s for $50 unless your excluding the $100 postage fee most of them are asking for, any chance of a link to it then >

go on ebay why has no one thought of that?

you can get 512 mb memory sticks at daydeal.com
