Memory Card for Sony PSP
Sony PSP
The Sony Playstation Portable is a great handheld device that you can take with you just about everywhere. It features optical disc games, a large screen, multi-media capabilities, connectivity with the PS3 and other PSPs, and it has internet capabilities. The PSP is probably one of the best handheld gaming devices that you can purchase.
Whether you have or are about to purchase the PSP Slim, PSP Lite, PSP-3000, or the PSP Go, you may find that the internal memory storage is just not enough, which means that you just may need a psp card to help hold more memory and save your games.
In general, the PSP Slim and Lite series nearly doubles the internal RAM with 32 MB to 64 MB of memory and storage space, but sometimes that's still not enough. The PSP Go has 16 GB of internal storage and a Memory Stick Micro versus the regular Memory Stick Duo that the other Sony PSP models feature.
The internal memory may sound like a lot, but if you're a serious gamer, you know better. You know that after a several good games, you can easily max out the internal storage. This is why Sony offers the memory card slot. They want to make sure that you have other options and that you don't have to delete your saved content.
