    PSP Want to get a bigger memory stick

    I've decided my lads 512 Pro Duo is only good for one game at a time so looking to get a 2 or 4 gig. Looked on ebay and they seem around the 15 quid mark plus p+p, they seem to be genuine Sony pro duo with Magic Gate, and refer to 'hi-speed' at 80meg transfer rate. Is this actually the hi speed version or should I look for a faster one. It's for running games ('modifed' psp obviously)

    ask them what the memory stick model number is, only certain ones are faster, but they are mostly copies and arent that fast. One i got from ebay was a fake and not the fast one it said it was... ebuyer or somewhere similar is best, you know you are getting what you pay for...

    Recommend 4 gig though as some games (god of war etc) will take pretty much the whole card on a 2 gb.

    Thanks Russ... just sent a question to a bayer regarding the model number and whether it's genuine etc.

    Never ever buy memory cards from eBay as 99% of them are fake and will either be corrupt or fail on you after a period of time.

    I've just this past few minutes been loading my lads new 4 gig with a load of games, I ordered one off Play as barachello suggested (It was £26.99 free P+P though, could'nt see any for cheaper).

    I did come to the conclusion the ebay prices were 'too good to be true' mate, so I steered clear of them.. I even emailed 2 sellers asking for verification they were genuine and what was the model number but neither replied

    That looks good value, but the double adaptor is also very interesting,

    I'm looking to upgrade from a 2GB MS to something bigger. Has anybody actually used one of these in a PSP? If so, how quick are they compared to Hi-speed Memory Sticks?

    Tnx
