    Will this Sandisk card work with my PSP?

    Sorry for the rather basic question, I'm running a PSP 2000 slim and I need more storage. I was under the impression that you needed Pro Duo cards or something, that was what someone told me years ago.

    Cashback from over 400 brands all on one platform. Shop with Rakuten & stack offers with discounts, voucher codes and cashback for great savings at top brands.


    This card is reduced at Play.com and before I purchase it, I thought I'd check here to see if it's compatible with my PSP.

    BTW-do you have to create the PSP folders on the card for it to pick it up?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    You need Pro Duo cards, so that wont work.
    Kept you waiting, huh?

      No, that's an SD card, which is a completely different type of memory stick.

      This should be what you want. http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...d/Product.html

      Pro Duo cards are typically more expensive because bugger all devices actually use them except for Sony stuff.

        You should go to CEX for Pro Duo's. They have great prices in my experience.

          Surely there's a risk of getting fakes though?

            Thanks for the advice guys, glad I asked before I purchased it. J0e, Play are doing a 16 gig card for around £40, how much better are CEX regarding prices?

              CEX have sealed Sony Mark 2 16GB's for £40. I'd rather go with Sony over Sandisk personally. If you're lucky you might find a 32GB for £60. Massive saving over the RRP.

              Also CEX do not sell fakes. They test every card they take in so you won't have to worry at all.

                      I thought SanDisk manufactured all Sony branded memory sticks?

                      <EDIT> Found these links:-




                      Seems like SanDisk co-developed memory sticks with Sony, and likely manufactures them for Sony as well?

                        What's the largest memory stick a PSP will currently take?

                          I'd take Sandisk over absolutely anything else. There is a reason they are more expensive.
                          I still have the POS 4Mb card Sony gave me 'free' with a ?1500 camcorder somewhere.
                          I think you could fit about 4 still images on it at the time

                            Sandisk ones do generally beat Sony ones in benchmarks. But in the case of the PSP, I doubt it matters.

                              Sony are more expensive than Sandisk no?
                              I've had a Sandisk fail in the past, so I stick with Sony now. I've got 12 of them and never had any problems.
