IDK, is would only put you out 11 bucks if you won the bid at 99 cents! It is up to you! You can get a 4GB for about $59 at best buy when the have a rebate offer!

The imageshark sever is down! That is probably why the pictures are not showing!

How to tell a real mem stick from a fake one? Easy. Just buy it at www.superufo.com instead of eBay. Works everytime. I purchased two 4GB MS from them and they're the 5hit!
(But they're Sandisk, so they're even better than $ony brand.)

I can't do much till I get paid this Friday, but I'll wait to see if that bestbuy rebate comes back around. Only thing I hate about rebates is waiting for that stupid check!!!

That is always a pain! I try to avoid Lexar because I sent in 4 rebates and every one was declined, they said that I sent it in to late, but it was postmaked 2 days before the rebate expired!
SO DO NOT BUY FROM THEM IF THEY ARE OFFERING A REBATE!

Ps Best Buy has 1GB cards for $20.99 after rebate!

Yea, it is about the same price if you can find a 4GB card with a rebate that takes it down to $69

Whoo, thats quite a chunk of change. Maybe I'll just hold out for there 2gb. That much up front is more than I paid to get the console itself!

Its used, got it off of craigslist. I live near Portland, OR so it was pretty easy to find someone who didn't know what to do with it. Only problem with it is that its a TA-082 with 2.60 FW, meaning I'm going to risk the console to downgrade it. But not until I can find a mem stick!!

No problem! I am trying to become an Addict sometime this week! So yeah! It sorta sucks because they are saying freezing rain on Saturday and that is the day of our Winter Ball!
I am glad you got a good deal on your PSP! Hey do you want a PS3? I know that the Mill Plain BestBuy has them in Stock!

ok i contacted him but no response yet.Hopefully i receive it by this week so i can know if it is a fake or not. Thanks for replying to my ?
ok guys i received my 2gig memory stick today the back part is engraved but when i got it the packaged was opened a bit on one side, i guess in order to fit the adapter.
