PSP Memory Cards – Expanding Your Portable Media Horizons
If you're new to the PSP, you've probably seen the little slot that has a memory card (or, for older ones, a memory stick), and maybe didn't give it much thought. After all, you could load games, play them, run them and have a good time…up until you wanted, say, some music, or a video, or to have more than four games at once.
Your PSP memory card is, to your PSP, what your USB thumb drive is to your PC. It's a place to store things like music, video and game levels, or to store games you can load later on, and run them as you see fit.
The PSP uses the Pro Duo memory stick and can be found just about any place that sells computer or digital camera equipment. Now, normally the rule of thumb is to go with the first party brand, meaning Sony memory cards for the Sony systems. This isn't necessarily the case here, however. Other companies such as Lexar and Sandisk have been in the business of making flash memory cards longer than Sony and are every bit as good (if not better) as well as a bit cheaper to pick up.
The short answer on what size memory card to get is "The largest one that can fit your budget". The secondary answer is "If you don't mind swapping them out, whatever's on clearance."
Now, the general rule of thumb is that for music audio, it's going to be 2 MB of storage space per minute. For video, though, it's going to get large. In general, you need a 128 MB card to play a short movie at a low bitrate sample.
Fortunately, cards that small are almost impossible to find on the market. The general rule of thumb for digital video at high bit rates is that it's 4 MB per minute; if you want to watch a lot of movies on your PSP, buy a big card. If what you do is mostly game on the thing, you can probably go cheapskate and get a 256 MB card.
Whichever you do, the memory card that came with the PSP is probably laughably inadequate.
Our short recommendation is to spend the extra hundred bucks to get your hands on at least a 4 GB card – that's enough to hold a couple of movies at respectable bit rates (though it won't hold the entire Extended Edition Lord of the Rings trilogy – we tried!), and you'll probably never notice it.
On the other hand, the price difference between 4 GB and 8 GB (the current largest) is small enough that if you have the cash, you might as well get the bigger one.
Do be careful with inserting the card – most of the reports on read errors come from someone trying to jam the card in the wrong way; Sony builds these things so they'll only go in "one way", and it's a good engineering design choice.
Whatever your needs, there is a memory stick out there that will fit the bill. We hope this will help make the choice a little bit easier.
