Nowadays the gamesplaying public need memory cards, as games like GTA3 are not going to be finished in 1 sitting. However, just the other day I shelled out 27.99 for a PS2 memory card, and was told it was 'quite cheap' by the un-trustworthy looking bloke in the shop. Is it just me or is 27.99 a bit steep? Thankfully I can now turn my PS2 off, insead of leaving it on overnight.

The zip drive looks good for ps2...but £99 for it..hmmm
Who's gonna have that many saves for ps2??
And (i dont know for sure) i think the memory in a memory card is different to that for a pc....

People have already had the 128mb ram argument with me, a few months back on this forum. I was quickly proved wrong!!
