OFFICIAL MEMORY CARD FOR PS2®; STORES UP TO 8 MB OF DATA & FEATURES MAGICGATETM ENCRYPTION; EXTRA CAPACITY & FASTER DATA TRANSMISSION IS PERFECT FOR THE DATA-INTENSIVE GAMES OF PS2®; FOR USE ONLY WITH PS2® FORMAT SOFTWARE
Building a better system from the ground up sometimes involves digging into even the most mundane components. Take memory cards, for instance. To provide larger storage capacity and faster access rates--PlayStation2 cards transfer data 200 times faster than cards for the original PlayStation--PlayStation2 developers have upgraded the technology for the new memory card. The 8 MB Memory Card uses Flash Memory, the storage technology that's revolutionizing handheld computers, digital cameras, and MP3 players. In contrast, the 128 KB memory cards that were designed for the original PlayStation use memory blocks. While large files can spill over several blocks, you can't store more than one file per block in that design, no matter how small the file. The 8 MB Memory Card allieviates that problem by organizing and storing files much more like a computer hard disk.

So, hopefully you believe me when I say that I know what I'm talking about. With all of that out of the way, I would like to clear up a LOT of confusion. I have read many reviews on here. Most of them completely contradict the review that came right before it. Unfortunately, it seems that many people are just making things up off the top of their head, without having any real first-hand experience. So, just what is the PS2 memory card capable of, and what is it compatable with? That's what I'm here to tell you. First of all, the PS2 card has an 8MB capacity...

If you are playing a PS1 game on your PS2, you must also have a PS1 memory card; PS1 games can't be saved to a PS2 memory card. 100 of 104 people found the following review helpful: Small, but a lot of power!, By This review is from: PlayStation 2 Memory Card (8MB) (Accessory) This memory card should not be called an accessory because it is an essential. It will cost you a few extra dollars, but it will allow you to enjoy your games more fully since this device will enable you to go more into depth and get as much as you can out of each game. You do not have to restrict yourself to just 1 memory card per game since it hold 8 megs of memory (this is a whole lot of memory). The only games that will take a good chunk of that memory are sports games if you run a simulated season (they generally will take up around 1 to 1 1/2 megs of your memory). Besides that, if you are not into sports you could save files from a small library of PS2 games onto one card! Another great aspect is that the card is efficient. It is very fast, meaning that you will not have to wait long at all in order to load your saved files, save new files, and delete ones that you think you will no longer need. This is a must have if you have a PS2 because without it, you're missing out... Read more |
