GET THE 4GB MS. I have already owned the 4GB HDD. It's GARBAGE. It freezes a lot when you try to run homebrew. Good luck trying to get ISOs to work. I had to return the 4GB HDD b/c it sucks and the read/write times are really slow. If you wanna get a good deal, go to SuccessHK. (www.superufo.com) that's where I got my 4GB MS. Plus, I really don't appreciate the fact that the company who made the 4GB HDD incorporates false advertisement to sell a produKt.
I would always see pics like this of it and it looked nice and streamline: (but it was done in Photoshop or sumthin)
and this is what it REALLY looks like:
The PSP is no longer sleek and streamline, but becomes bulky and ugly. Plus, the little part that plugs into the Magic Gate is flimsy and it comes out of the Magic Gate easily b/c it doesn't click in like a typical MS does. It just slides in and that's not good. Please do yourself a favour and don't get the HDD.
Yea, there's a reason it's cheaper. How about his for a problem:
I spent four hours uploading all my songs and games (remember what I said about slow read/write times). After that four hours, (b/c I had a lot of songs) I went to launch a homebrew game and it formatted the HDD somehow and it was blank when I opened it up on my PC. I got pissed but spent another four hours getting everything onto it again. Went to launch a homebrew and it did it again. The thing sucks, dude. Get whatever you want, but mark my words: YOU WILL REGRET BUYING THE HDD.
Now can you answer the question on how long it takes http://www.lik-sang.com/ to ship to U.S.A. and if the shipping price is going to be rediculous......(I live in Illinois)
