"The cost of Memory Cards"

Can anyone tell me why 8 megs of ram built in to a memory card costs £30???? You compare this to the price of memory on the pc, say £25 for 64 megs as quoted by special reserve and ask yourself why does it cost so much to fit a bit of ram in a plastic casing??? I've noticed that this is going to be the same for the xbox.

Maybe other companies will start making cheaper memory cards for PS2 than the offical Sony one, like they do for the PS1. The offical Sony PS1 1mb card costs £10 but cards not made by Sony cost less than half as much.

U can expect the PS2 hardrive will be pricy compared to PC aswell.

Does flash memory really cost that much more?

i'd also like to point out that the ram in a pc and the ram in a memory card is different. your pc ram is like tempory storage as when the comp turns off all data that was in the ram goes.

also a memory card is a lot smaller than a ram board in a PC.

Yeah, forgot to mention that fact.....I think I've got about 19 games that I own all with save on and also a few games (probably about 4) that I've borrowed from mates and they've all gone on there.

I've still got half of my memory card left......boy am I glad I never bought wwf or whatever it's called!

I suppose when you first get a PS2 card they do look quite expensive, however, i have had my PS2 a year now and own 22 games, and excluding smackdown 3 (which takes half the cards memory!) all 21 have got a save on it.

So they do the job very well.

When you compare it with the price of PSone memory cards and the amount they hold then it's not bad value and it is similar to the price for Dreamcast and other next gen console prices.

As for Timesplitters I know I shouldnt say this here but I bought it at Game on Saturday for 14.99. EB are selling at the same price (As they own Game). Please dont me ban SR !!

Thank you.
least i know when it's coming now.
