Sony MSXM8GS 8 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (Retail Package)

This card actually has 8gb of storage unlike the much of the junk cards sold on Ebay. I've heard of a number of horror stories from people buying these cards from Hong Kong on Ebay. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Bad produt, i try to use with my PSP and only work 2 Gb the memory was to bad, i had to buy a new one, don't buy this product

Do not get this product from this company, it ended up being not working and not authentic. Save yourself trouble and get it from a retail store.

Well, there really is no such thing as a cheap 8GB memory stick. Considering that competitor retailers sell these for $60, it should've been a red flag when this was roughly $30. It worked fine for a few days and then my camera stopped reading the card.

And here's why:
The shape and the thickness of the card didn't fit the same way into my camera like the legitimate brand. The camera reads it when I push it in just the right way and far enough, but I have to keep my thumb pressed into the card, without letting go, or the camera doesn't read the card properly. Granted, I can still use it as a storage device with a usb adapter...but am unable to take pictures with it.

The Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo is a great way to save tons of content on your Sony Playstation Portable or Sony Camcorder.

Not to be confused with an SD Memory Card, Memory Stick Pro Duo only work in Sony-brand products.

If you're a PSP owner looking for a Memory Stick for the soul purpose of saving game data, this is not what you're looking for, I'd recommend a smaller 1 or 2GB Memory Stick for that, because they're much cheaper, and 8GB is likely WAY more than you'll ever need to save games. Since gave saves only take up KiloBytes, 8 GigaBytes is pure Overkill.

An 8GB Memory Stick is best suited for PSP owners with Custom Firmware or download alot of games & movies off of PlayStation Network.

In addition, an 8GB Memory Stick makes for a nice form of alternative storage for Sony Camcorder owners. Depending on what resolution you have the camcorder set to 8GB's can store a pretty decent amount of video, and is much easier to store than your common 1.4GB Mini DVD-R.

Of course, Memory Stick Pro Duo isn't the cheapest form of Flash Storage, it's cousin the SD Memory Card is much cheaper in price, as are Flash Drives & DVD's, so you should only buy an 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo for Sony-Brand electronics that you absolutely NEED such a large amount of storage space for.
Otherwise, it's better to buy a smaller, cheaper Memory Stick, or use another form of Flash Storage.

Most Sony products like their Digital Cameras & PSP only use Memory Stick Pro Duo, so you have no choice.
But if you're trying to do something like free up some space or move content on your PS3, Computer, etc, then it's better to go with something cheaper like Flash Drives or SD Cards.
