"New 251 slot memory cards"

I see the new 251 slot memory cards(uncompressed) are due out soon that help not fill the blasted things up so quick especially when you think pikmin will use 19 of the 59 slot type

saving 123 game saves rather the 123 blocks makes much more sence or why would ninty bring out a 251 slot one

then what is the point of buying one with more than 123 blocks if it can only hold 123?
the IGN review doesn't explain AT ALL

that is not quite true. what it means is that there can not be more than 123 saves on one card. This means that it is best to have the standard card for small saves and the MM16x for bigger saves like sports titles. read the ign review for all the information.

acording to the nintendo site the 251 slot card is due fairly soon

When are these little bundles of joy being released?

yup im sure they had thought of that maybe split the card into two sections

In the gamecube manual, it says something about memory cards having a maximum storage of 123 blocks, and "no more saves can be made when this limit is reached" or something.

I know that the Datel MM 16X has a problem of some sort in this area (not allowong you to use more than 123 blocks without changing sections or something.

Consult the manual for more accurate information.

But if nintendo are releasing a 256block card then that should have some sort of function that stops all those limitations.

Hi my mate uses play all the time they are totally safe and normally deliver about 3 to 4 days also remember pp is included in the price

Dont worry, play is totally safe.

But they do keep your credit card details stored in your account details (makes ordering next time much easier), just make sure no-one else knows your password!
