Amazon.co.uk Review
Building a better system from the ground up sometimes involves digging into even the most mundane components. Take memory cards, for instance. To provide larger storage capacity and faster access rates--PlayStation2 cards transfer data 200 times faster than cards for the original PlayStation--PlayStation2 developers have upgraded the technology for the new memory card. The 8 MB Memory Card uses Flash Memory, the storage technology that's revolutionising handheld computers, digital cameras and MP3 players. In contrast, the 128 KB memory cards that were designed for the original PlayStation use memory blocks. While large files can spill over several blocks, you can't store more than one file per block in that design, no matter how small the file. The 8 MB Memory Card alleviates that problem by organising and storing files much more like a computer hard disk. --Simon Priestly

Manufacturer's Description
This Memory Card is an essential purchase for all PlayStation players - save your exact position; store hi-scores, best times and hidden characters; copy and exchange saves with other players on PlayStation's built-in Memory Card manager. Easy, accurate and no batteries required. Don't forget: as games become more sophisticated, with longer gameplay and greater detail, more and more free Slots are required and an additional Memory Card is an essential accessory. Note that only an official Memory Card from Sony guarantees compatibility and reliability.

Customer Reviews

I agree, it is kind of sad reviewing a memory card.
All you need to know is that this is a card that will save your progress on PS2 games. With plenty of memory you can take it to someone elses PS2 and load your progress onto it instead of internal memory which is just stuck to its own console.

...its a card with memory you don't need to read a review about it do you?

Much Cheaper
This is a much cheaper memory card, with lots of memory space on it!
Fantastic: This one held data for 25 high quality games!

Thankfully cheaper now!
When the Playstation 2 memory card originally came out in 2000, it cost what is now, an incredible £27! We look at how technology has moved, and you could buy 4 1GB SD cards for that price. Thankfully, Sony reduced the price, and its now an essential accersory that you can still afford without going to third party products. Good value, excellent quality!
