Deal of the Day: 4GB card for only $70

I personally use a 4GB Memory Stick, and I find it's ridiculously huge. It's much more storage than I could possibly ever need ... and that's a good feeling. Sure, there's an 8GB stick coming down the line, but you certainly won't get such a sweet deal for quite some time. FRYS.com has a 4GB SanDisk card for only $70, after mail-in rebate. Yes, the website lists the card as $120, but once you add it to your cart, you will see the price magically change.

Memory Stick PRO-HG to provide users up to 32GB of space


Sony and SanDisk just revealed a new extension of Sony's popular proprietary flash media. The PRO-HG series is "theoretically capable" of sizes up to 32GB, with write speeds of up to 60MB/sec. PSP owners can celebrate that HG line is backwards compatible with the regular PRO series of cards, meaning you'll be able to buy an HG card and use it in your PSP. You won't get the same speed advantage, but you will be able to use the card's ridiculous amount of storage.

Even thinking up ways to fill a 32GB card is mind-boggling for me. Hopefully, we'll see more when CES comes around next month.

Deal of the Day: Free 256MB Memory Stick Pro Duo at Circuit City

Deal of the Day: Free 256MB Memory Stick Pro Duo at Circuit City
While a 256MB Memory Stick may not hold a lot of data, especially if you're trying to play full-resolution movies on your PSP, it's hard to argue about something's worth when it's free. And right now Circuit City is offering a 256MB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo for $30 with a $30 mail-in rebate.

All you have to do is buy the Memory Stick, fill out the form and mail it in. Not too hard, eh?

There's a one-rebate limit here so don't get any funny ideas of buying tons of these and unloading them on ebay.

Deal of the day: 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo $90

Deal of the day: 4GB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo $90Do you remember all those incredibly great Memory Stick deals a while back? Well, it looks like a new round may be upon us as Outpost is offering a 4GB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo for a measly $90 after rebate. And to make the deal even better, there's even an offer for free shipping. Can't beat that.

It's amazing how quickly the Memory Sticks are dropping in price since it was only January when the 4GB and 8GB sticks were unveiled. With this rate, the 32MB sticks Sony bundled with the PSP will be virtually worthless, if they aren't already.

1GB Pro Duo on the cheap

If you swing on over to online retailer Buy.com, you can acquire a 1GB Pro Duo for your PSP for the very reasonable sum of $24.95 U.S. after a mail-in rebate.  Offer is only valid until the 4th of June, so if you've been holding off on shelling out some dough for a larger memory stick, now seems about as good a time as any to upgrade.

Sandisk crashes Sony's Memory Stick party

In a move that can only be referred to as a not-so-small act of "screwing Sony's pooch", Sandisk announced that they too will be releasing their own 4GB Memory Stick Duo Pro. The proclaimation was made a day after Sony officially announced their launch of a similar product. Naturally, Sandisk--now proudly bearing the crafty underdog image they've come to relish in the flash memory arena--mentioned that they will be selling their 4GB Duo Pros in March for $239.99; two months earlier and ten dollars cheaper than Sony's.

This news doesn't help Sony's case as it is, especially when you consider GameSpot's compelling head-to-head comparison of Sandisk and Sony. (Here's a hint: Sandisk won.)

But $250 is still $250, no matter how you look at it. This still won't mean squat to the thousands out there whose only option of earning cash is through saving allowance and birthday money, but for the rest of the populace who either have A.) parents who spoil them rotten, B.) full-time jobs, or C.) the inherent ability to survive for months on nothing but Ramen, this meager but significant means to save a whole tenner is a pretty darned convincing argument.

2GB Memory Stick tested; we love it

It's stories like this that really show that we here at PSP Fanboy will just about cover anything related to the PSP. PSP Hacks did a quickie read-and-write test on a Sandisk 2GB Memory Stick Pro and report that while its read speed was relatively the same as on the 1GB, the write speed is about a meg slower per second. But do we care? Heck yeah!

[UPDATE:] On rare occasion, we here at PSP Fanboy get so excited about news that we sometimes overlook important bits of info. Okay, hopefully that sounded convincing, but we're going to make up for it anyway. You may not be able to use the Sandisk 2GB Memory Stick Pro in your PSP (which only uses Memory Stick Pro Duos), but with a little bit of ingenuity and this guide you can still make use of whatever old and decrepit Memory Sticks you may still have lying around.
