Sony unleashes new 16GB memory stick
Category: Sony PSP, Posted: 01/07/2008 at 02:34PM CST by Demetri Kouvalis, Features Editor
The Sony PSP isn't going away anytime soon. Sony is dedicated to giving its sibling as much life as possible with connectability to the PS3, and its overall capabilities of being a powerful, multi-functional handheld system.
So if you didn't know, the PSP is capable of many other things besides gaming, including listening to music, viewing videos, etc.
Sony recently announced their 16GB memory stick. It is a Memory Stick Pro Duo and it can go in your PSP. The only downside is that it will retail for $300 upon release, a hefty price for something so small.
But think what you can do with 16GB! You can store hundreds of hundreds of pictures, and hundreds of songs right onto your PSP, making it a more acceptable alternative for a music player. Problem is, a $300 dollar MP3 player can hold more than 16GB, so unless the chip goes down to $200 (which it no doubt will eventually), I don't believe gamers will flock towards the new chip in droves.

$300? Yeah, no. The current generation of the Zune and iPod Classic can hold 80GB for $250
yes yuko, good look placing ps1 on iso's on a zune and playing them
I'd rather buy four 4GB's for 50$ each.
Flarty - Unlike some, I don't need my PSP to be a laptop. I have a laptop for that, and it plays PS1 just fine.
movies and music I have an iPod Classic (160 gig) for. I certainly wouldn't pay 300 for a 16g card.
What the fuck
blusey - Yeah, I have a 30GB Zune, probably gonna upgrade to the 80GB now, and see NO reason to buy this.
This costs more than a 500GB hardrive, almost twice the price infact.
