"mega memory 16mb.pile of sh*te or is it me?"

ok-so i am a newcomer to all this gaming stuff and just got a ps2 for chrissie...fantastic!
quickly learn that you really need a memory card so i go out and buy mega memory card.
now i dont know if its my incompetence in using this piece of kit or if its basically a design.
its bad enough that you have to boot the thing to start a game but a lot of the time you have to boot it so many times just to get recognised.
everythings fine on ea sports fi 2001 but at the moment i cant get it to recognise shaun palmers pro snowboarder.
anyboby else have the same problems?

I bought a Spook memory card for my N64, was the biggest piece of crap i ever bought, it always wiped itself, i mean how does it do that?!?

Do I really have to write out every possible event?

*bars-tard says yes*

My brother had a PSone memory card that was like 30 times a normal one. But it wiped and I lost everything (I used it more than him) all my smackdown 2, GTA, GT3, metal gear solid and tekken saves were lost. Thats only a few of the games I lost, I cant remember the others.

Thats what you get when you buy an EB own card.

i no i (wasted?) £30 on the 8 meg card and since christmas it has manageded to save twice successfully. even when im saving at the end of the game i start it up the next day gone. WHATS GOING ON!

Yep I got a 16 meg card but what I think is crap is before you play you have to load the memory card but the offical memory card loads its self.
