Hefty price follows hefty size

Posted on January 6th, 2008 at 21:16 EDT

PSP users can finally rejoice after such limited standards. No longer will we feel the need to struggle to fit everything into our tiny pro duos. With Sony’s latest announcement at CES, the PSP is about to receive a 16GB version of the Pro Duo.

The only downfall to this steep increase in storage space, is the steep increase in storage space it’ll create in your pockets. This neat little stick of memory goodness is going to hit stores in March and retail at a whopping $300.



While some of us will have to watch our friends purchase these pricey cards, we’ll just have to wait in jealousy as the price drops through time.

The ESRB has officially given Street Fighter Alpha a teen rating for the PlayStation 3 console and PSP handheld. This indicates that the game is probably not too far...

16gb is alot and enough for storage of movies and mp3s. And if it was just 8gb of space for me it wouldnt be much but 16gb is reasonable and also its cool how sony are not ignoring the psp and actually updating and upgrading it more and more... who knows whatll be next "Home" for psp.

LOL, no way I'm spending 300 dollars on this. Don't get me wrong, 16Gb Pro Duo is incredible, but you could buy a PS3 with only 100 more dollars..........

lol. if i had 300 bucks i would spend it on 2 other games that are coming out GT5 and MGS4 and not a memory stick for 300 bucks. i don't play my psp that much to do that.

I doubt anoyone here is actually going to buy one of those anytime soon. but people will be waiting for any sign of a price drop though because this is a big step closer to never needing a harddrive.

16 gigs... that is an amazing size an seems well worth it.

Just think of it as a 16gb hard drive that's been shrunken down to a postage stamp. That puts the high cost of portable media into perspective. Besides, each time Sony introduces larger capacities, the smaller ones drop in price. ;)

Pretec released 8GB SD card two years ago and 16 & 32GB SD cards where announced by Pretec & Kingston some 6 months ago.... Catch up!

 

Why cant they just use SD memory - it's Industry Standard, its faster, more reliable and significantly cheaper. Speeds of 150X (22.5MB/s) have been available for SD memory since 2004 - whereas Memory Stick crawls along.... even Memory Stick Pro Extreme and Memory Stick Ultra Mark 2 can only sustain Write Xfers of 10MB/s....... Memory Stick = Obsolete, and $300 = Rip Off!

psn id: gingo.... £150 is probably a decent price for a 16gig card but why not release a 4gb or 8gb version that might be able to be bought by not so rich people

Is that necessary? Two 8GBs cost me about US$100.

Might as well buy a PS3 for that price.
