4gb memory cards for PSP
Perhaps i'm behind on this but only just seen them so apologies if its already been discussed.
Has anyone got one of these yet and have they worked fine? Looking at this one MobyMemory - Product Details on memory cards for mobile phones but expensive at £100

I had 2Gb cards in mine, but apparently the 4Gb's work fine. The SanDisk Pro Duo is a little cheaper at £78.99. Don't know how much of a performace increase you'd see with the Ultra II's.

EDIT: as above 
They are, but I'll guarantee 99% of them are Sony Taiwan fakes. Thats not to say they won't work (lets not go there again
), but I wouldn't. I bought a 2Gb Sony fake from eBay, looks genuine enough, until you compare it side by side with a real one. Very quickly started to get CRC errors, so sent it back and bought genuine SanDisk from SVP instead.

eBay.co.uk: SONY Memory Stick Pro DUO MS 1GB 1 GB 1G G PSP W800i UK (item 120055740116 end time 21-Nov-06 18:16:42 GMT)
I'd say his others are fake too. Good feedback is not really a good indicator in this case. Most people will be totally unaware that the card they have is not genuine. Most will probably never know or care as they may work fine. Use in certain applications may cause problems though.
My advice would be to never buy one from eBay. Stick to reputable shop sellers.
When you get it, perhaps you can post up some details like the exact capacity and some pics so we can have a look ?

I've got a 2gb from ebay and although its been fine (touch wood) I wont buy another from ebay as its a fake one just like all the others are. On that guys feedback the buyers say they are fake cards but still give positive feedback!
Also thats £60 for a fake one when you can a real one with warranty for another £15-£20 depending on where you shop.
I want one of the high speed ones so will wait and see if the price starts to drop on them after Xmas.

£69.90 from picstop.co.uk - Used them many times before and they are excellent and don't sell copies!!!
I bought a 4gb one pretty much as soon as they shipped and it works a treat. Slightly darker blue than the 2gb (And 1gb) Sandisks that I had before it too.
Good thing about Picstop is you can take standard delivery and normally the item is delivered the following day anyway
Duo Pro's

I got a 2gb Stick off Ebay. Holds just under 2gb - which is expected with a memory stick - however it occasionally can't be read by my PSP. A bit irritating, but I'll live with it until I order my 4 gb sticks 
Cheers for the link BTW!

I e-mailed the seller about the stick saying you'd be reported for fraud if the item was not legit.
I got an e-mail back (and my money refunded) saying he was out of stock. . . .

Have you tried 7dayshop.com - Online shopping made easy !
I've bought quite a few things, including compact flash cards, and always had good service. I bought a 1Gb CF card (for £100), which stopped working partly after about 10 months and I asked them to check it and replace it - they gave me my money back and I bought another one for £40 - result
They've only got the Sandisk Ultra II 4gb at the moment, but they have always been the best prices I've seen.
