Sony intros 16GB Memory Stick Duo

Sony's finally getting really, really serious about the Memory Stick. The company is launching a hefty 16GB version of its loved / hated MS Duo. There's not much else. It's a Memory Stick Duo. It's 16GB. It will be available in March for $300. Enjoy.

16gb is 300. I see what they did there.

[Meus Renaissance]

I need a little help..so how did they get from 150 to 300 when doubling the capacity..

WTF

/end sarcasm

[Black Rose]

this thing cost only 100 greens less then PS3/ wow

[freakyzeeky]

$300? Man, it's too much money... I'll wait a couple years for this. :'(

[Darkiewonder]

You know it's coming.

[Charlie2688]

Wait a year (usually they go down 50% of the original price) or simply buy the Sandisk version the one that is supposed to be used for cameras (the blue ones that come with the adaptors, dont buy he multicolored "game" ones since they are more expensive FOR NOTHING)

:)

[MrWonderful]

my psp would love this

[freakyzeeky]

But I wonder if my PSP slim would support a memory stick with that much space? :o

[Zhuk]

I definitely would get this for my PSP, would be able to carry around a lot of PS1 ISOs on that

[TwissT]

Zhuk I thought you hated anything Sony related, what happened?

[Zhuk]

well if you fandroids knew anything about my comments on the PSP, its my favourite handheld ever made because of custom firmware and homebrew, I bought one the day it was released. A great machine for retro gaming and emulation, its also the best piece of equipment to play PS1 games on, which look fantastic on the LCD screen.

Also the PSPs games library has gotten a lot better in the past 12 months and provides to my tastes as a gamer more than Nintendo's DS

And you can't see that happening to the PS3? The PSP didn't have good games for like the first two years. And now the third year the PSP is catching up to the DS and it isn't considered a failure anymore. But your comments for the PS3 are totally opposite it's like you didn't learn anything from what playstation systems do. They start off slow and they end up being good systems. Most of your post say PS3 is a failure or somewhere along the line.

In Zhuks defense the PSP has a lot to offer and the PS3 offers everything that the PSP does only in a larger package (similar to Wii and DS). Plus I can hook up my PSP to my 360 and do everything that I could do hooking it up to a PS3 other than remote play. It's as simple as liking the best options offered, which at this point are PSP and 360. Liking the PSP doesn't automatically put you in bed with Sony, and remember what it's wonderful creator said when people were having problems with it "There just pushing the buttons way too hard"

[GrooveChampion]

That's a big stick.

[MrWonderful]

i hear that alot;)

[HB-Sauce]

Lol, bubbles!

[heavyarms]

$300 for a 16 gig LOL.

[Whoooop]

but never at $300... NEVER

[big0]

Would be nice for the psp but 300 is to high I am glad I can use remote play at work.

The Karate Kid Needs bubbles to battle XBOTS =)

(I am giving bubbles to all of you, where is the love at)

P.S. Whoops how in the hell did you get 53 million points on Stardust HD?

Other PSN fans add me PSN: RioHustlaInc

[Skerj]

Good, 8gb prices should be going down then.

[Samer305]

This will be like the ultimate memory stick for the psp.

[INehalemEXI]

Yah, when 8gb prices go down I may pick up a couple of those.

[ichimaru]

that is alot of mp4

[Charlie2688]

That is like....A LOT XD

[name]

That pisses me off, especially since they could get a PS3 for 100 dollars more. Too bad I'm still gonna buy it though. I already have a PS3 and I've been craving more space for my PSP.

[Daishi]

You also get an I-Touch for $100 more for the 16gb version.

[Primetimebt]

I'm wondering if the next PSP system will use memory stick as it's game.

[PlayStation360]

Funny story...
Last Wednesday I went to a Gamestop. I asked the cashier if they carried Sony's 8gb duo, I'm looking for more memory for my PSP. The dude didn't even know they made memory sticks that high. The dude even said "have they just started making them? cause I never heard of it." And he looked at me like i was crazy. And the cat was like 27+ years old. How can you work at a game store, and not know the latest gaming news/accessories :(

And now they came up with these sweet 16gb. More memory is never a bad thing :) I got my eye on these suckers now.

[Daishi]

It's called minimum wage... (Go to Best Buy)

[PlayStation360]

LOL, I go to Best Buy as well. But I sometimes like buying from GS because of the exclusive stuff (ie: Bonus items, Collector Editions, etc...)

[WilliamRLBaker]

means other Duo sizes will go down in price....so ill be able to get a bigger card then i have now and put more ps1 isos and such on it.

I'll be able to get up to a 8 gig now for alot less then usual:)

[Fux4Bux]

Cool... but I'll just stick with my 2GB until this is under $100.
