The case is shaped like a UMD. The reason for this is that it will save pocket space by fitting right inside the PSP where the usual UMD game would go. Only drawback is that the case is only good for PSP-1000s. Also, it is obviously not as useful if you're planning to play a UMD-based game. It is, however, great for playing PSN downloaded games saved on the memory stick, storing that humongous music library of yours, and/or keeping your entire photo album with you on the go.
So far, no price has been set. Team Xecuter plans on selling these little babies in two weeks time.

Using the UMD drive as a storage bin? Seems like a punchline to a joke or something.

It's just a carrying case? Like, as in, multiplying the volume of the 4 memory sticks by 10 or something? Why bother? I guess if you don't have a case for your PSP and just carry it in your pocket.... still, I think it's a bit of a waste.

the POINT is that you can dump it IN the UMD drive... thing in the PSP.
Pretty genius idea IMO.
and HOLY CRAP I thought he had 32GB sticks for a sec.

Sorry, I guess I always have a game in my UMD drive.

I'm not sure putting it in the UMD slot is a good idea. The PSP is a portable system, so if the catches on the memory stick holders aren't well designed and the memory sticks rattle lose inside the UMD slot while in transit, you could be in for some trouble.

I think it's pretty awesome. I made a sleeve that fits in the UMD slot out of a folded business card stapled together with another folded business card around it (so the staples wouldn't contact the inside parts of the PSP) to hold an extra memory stick and it has worked-- having the ability to hold 4 sticks is enough for me to purchase.

well those people that run custom firmware and don't have an 8GB stick, but instead run with a bunch of 1-4's...

What keeps you from using this in a PSP-2000?

maybe the disc read is different and the drive would grind away at the holder

Sounds perfect for loading up movies on memory sticks when going on a trip, though the travel case I use for my PSP has space for memory sticks already.

You are aware that you can put OTHER things than homebrew on a memory stick right?
How much music do you have on your pc? I suppose encoding your own DVDs is probably past your intelligence as well....
There's a reason Sony made the storage hot swappable - use it FFS

Of course, the PSP is absolutely no competitor to the iPod for music playback. So why would I use that over an iPod?
This designers likely had pirates in mind with this product. Hell I've got a modded PSP but I still only need 1 4gb memory stick.
Must be some mad pirates out there who need more!

Not only pirates play games from their memory sticks. Any game can ripped legally from their disc as can music from CDs.
Games play faster from the memory stick than from the UMD, its as simple as that.

Plus you don't have the annoying sound of the UMD spinning up every three minutes.

You can load your UMD game to a stick?
