"Wretched Memory Cards!!"

I recently got a ps2 for xmas :) with a game(f1) but decfided to purchase another game Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3. When i got it home and put it in to my machine i played it for an hour non stop, then decided to play f1. I had cleared my old memory card which had 1mb on when i came to save it it wouldn't because i had an old memory card i had enough space on it but it didn't let me save it. So now i have to go out and shell out £25 just for a memory card. Why did't sony just make the machine compatible with both cards it would save a lot of difficulty, or do what the xbox is doig putting hard drives in that will save money on memory and will never have to worry about it.

y would i want to do that the games are quility. its just the wretched memory cards.

I've had my PS2 since launch day and consequentially have bought about 25 games. Still, I have not the need to buy another - so they are worth the money you pay.

take it back and say it was an unwanted late christmas present

No offence or anything but do u no how much it costs for 8mb on a mp3 player? yes £7.50 now all they need to do is put it in the case and add a bit of programming they should be selling it for £20 at most.

£30 man i went and brought it from whsmiths for 45 i could have used that money to get the memory card. Do you no where i might be able to get shauln palmers for so cheap?

firstly a PS2 memory card costs £25 becuase it holds so much memory 8mb compared to the PS1 1mb and once you buy one you will never have to buy one again (unless you buy a lot and i mean a lot of games)
and secondly the XBOX will have a hard disk drive because that then enables game makers to release unfinished games so they can bring out patches which will make the XBOX exactly like a PC.

Its because the new memory cards are Magicgate (whatever that is). They use a different format to normal PS1 memory cards. Yes, it is a con, but you can fit nearly 30 saves on it instead of just 15. Oh, and I hope you got your copy of Tony Hawk 3 from HMV, 'cos I saw the PS2 version in there yesterday for only £30!!!
