I just got back from Costco. I picked up a new 4 gig memory stick ($29.99, seemed like a great deal). I have a couple of questions about the logistics of using the new memory card.

1) Once I put it in the PSP and format it, do I have re-store all my firmware information? For the record, I am running 3.52 M33-4.

2) I assume that I will also need to put all my wallpapers on there too?

3) Is there anything else I need to know before I crack open the new MS?

By the way, if any of you guys wanted to know, it is a SanDisk Ultra II memory stick.

right sorry to inform you but it might be a fake for $29 for an ultra speed one is very good so when you get it go to the memory stick icon on the psp then click triangle and then go to information if it says
"magic gate supported: unknown" then its a fake.

you might be a lucky one like some of us with fake mem stick iv got a 4gb normal one and never had any problems (but it is falling apart).

as for formatting it all that it will do is format whats on the mem stick so if theres pictures on it then it will delete them all setting for the psp are stored in flash1 so no problems there

you can put loads of stuff on a 4gb i presume when you say wallpapers you mean games lol just make and iso folder and put all games in there . but you can store loads of wallpapaers and other stuff like that

and thats about it really just hope that it works 0_<

hope that all helps

I just looked it up, and mine says "MagicGate: Supported." I don't think a large company like Costco would rip customers off =) Anyways, thanks for the information. What I meant by wallpapers literally was wallpapers, haha. I have a 1 gig MS for my emulated games, and I decided to pick up the 4 gig MS for movies and shows and whatnot. Can't wait to get some TV shows on here.

Yeah, I think so. I don't know where you are located, but if you are in the US and have a Costco membership (or know someone who does), you should definitely head over there. They have it for $49.99 minus a $20 instant rebate.

i live in the uk so its a big no for me lol

every thing over here is soooooo expensive a genuine 4gb high speed from a large retailer (in the uk) like tescos they cost around £40+ thats like over $80+ lol but online is the best bet can get them for about £15 so i think ill get 2 or 3 next time i have the money 0_<

Yeah its true! The memory sticks sold is the shops over here rip you off. We do have Costco's here as well but I'm not a member :(

Driver, are you sure you can get 4GB memory sticks for £15? I was on Amazon and the 4GB's being sold by people on there were all fake so I decided to buy a 4GB directly from Amazon and it cost me £30. Thats the price you got to pay if you want something genuine around here :(

lucky

yer the one i got for £15 was a fake but it works 100% like a real one (guess i got lucky with that one 0_<) so ill try another one and see if its all the same (i hope so 0_<)

but now that sony have come out with the 16gb one i hope that the price will drop for genuine mem sticks all sizes

as i said before though its like a lottery you win or loose when buying them.

the main problem with the fake is the build quality. fakes have very low build quality which means they have problems.

my fake i think will last another year but after that it will die but if it was a genuine it would last a lot longer than that.

if i had the money id rather pay £40 for a genuine than a fake.

but thats not going to stop me getting a couple more fakes 0_<
