i love when new ones come out, because it means all the older ones go way down in price! wooo!

however.. when bigger ones come out, i start to wonder if i should wait and get that one once its price comes down.

..and so i decide.. hmm.. i'll just put it off for a few months and see what happens..

...then ONE day i just snap and go on a buying spree.

Memory sticks are overpriced if they are made by Sony but they work great. I usually buy Sandisk ones. I bought an 8 gig for about 60 so it makes no sense to charge 300 for 16 gigs so I hope the price will come down. There is no way someone is going to buy a memory stick at more than the cost of an actual PSP system.

I fucking hate memory sticks.
When I bought my CyberShot I had to buy a 1GB memory stick for almost $80, and my friend got a 4GB SD card for $40. Ugh.

@Odin: and all those saying this is too expensive, need to realize this is not aimed at you. This is aimed at early adopters onyl and to get this out into the market. This is the cost of most of the larger Pro Duos when they were first introduced. I am only taking this as probably price drop for the 8gb coming and that a 16gb is now possible. No way I'd spend 300 on this, and there was no way I'd spend 300 on a 2gb or a 4gb when they first were announced. I've bought memory for the psp first a around the 100 dollar mark and now I'm waiting until around the 50 dollar mark. I imagine the majority are somewhere in that area as well.

Odin — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 11:22:03 MST

@Gort23:
The point I was making though is that Sony thinks bigger memory sticks will encourage people to use the PSP as a media player more. However as I pointed out for the same price (or less) as JUST the memory stick you could get a much better portable media player. Yes you can't play Jeanne de Arc on an Archos but you can get an Archos and a PSP for about the same as a PSP and the memory stick. Sure it's extra junk to lug around but I'd prefer a little more weight in my backpack to a little less in my wallet.

On the other hand you could get a 30GB Archos 605 portable media player for the same price or less with the added bonus that you don't even need a PSP! Seriously who do Sony think they're kidding at this stage.

For just $99 more you get a multitouch display, headphones, itunes compatability, and wi-fi web browsing. Its called an Ipod Touch, 16 gig.

This memory card falls squarely into the wait till the price drops category.
