"Sony are the only company that deliver affordable gaming."

Hats off to Sony unlike MS and Ninty they are there to make gaming affordable unlike the others who are only interested in profit.

Sony scored a big hit with the PS1 and platinum games, which were affordable quality games that had to sell a certain amount to turn platinum, while N64 was still trying to sell cartridges for £64.99 Sony's platinum range came in at £19.99 and proved a big hit.

I am glad to see they are carryiing on the tradition with there PS2 platinum range. I mean lets face it GT3 is a far superior game to Project Gotham and yet it is have the price. They say you have to pay for quality but on this evidence you don't.

I've just checked...for those, like me, who were unsure, the Playstation 2's memory cards are 8Mb not MB.

Infact I just checked the official Nintendo site (cos I'm too lazy to find my Memory Card 59 box, and the official Mem card is 4 Megabits not Bytes.

It depends.

If the abb' is MB then it's MegaByte
If it's Mb however, then it's MegaBit.

It's like a 56Kbps modem doesn't connect at 56 KiloBytes per second, but 56 KiloBits per second.

You're forgetting that these are actually MegaBITS, not MegaBYTES. 8MegaBits = 1 MegaBYTE. Therefore, a 4Mb GC memory card is actually only 512K. It doesn't really make any difference, but you can't compare them with picture sizes, or PC hardware capabity.

The R.R.P. of an official 4MB Nintendo Memory Card 59 is £14.99

However, providing it does what it's supposed to, a memory card is a memory card no matter who it's made by.

Datel's 64MB card is definately VERY good value for money, and saying it's not a fair comparison when comparing it to an 8MB card just because of the developer is absolute bulls droppings!

Would a rose not smell as sweet if it had another name? (Any Shakespeareans, don't bother correcting my quote :P )

Why is that some people are saying this is a bad topic and we should leave it alone so it falls down, opps looks like i`m not helping your case there, when it seems to of attracted a lot of talk and intrest to a lot of people.

I for one believe that it isnt the price you pay for it, although it would attract a lot of people, it is actually the games you play on it and that really is the only reason you should buy a new console for, good graphics are really just an extremely good extra which a lot of us takes for granted.

Official gamecube 4mb £10
Or thats what my official one cost

And the thing I was really saying is that nintendo helped them get it cheaper I don't think that's something Sony would do.....

N*E*R*D, It isn't really a fair comparison to compare official products with unofficial products. Have you got the price of an official Game Cube memory card. Or failing that an equivalent unofficial PS2 memory card so that we can compare them on more even terms?

I'll just add one more case an unofficial memory card for gamecube costs £30 an official one for sony costs around £25 You're probably saying that the PS2 one is cheaper well it is but let's look at the stats

PS2 official £25 8 megabytes
GC Unofficial £30 (wait for it...)64 Megabytes

And the only place nintendo comes into this the unofficial mem card was gonna cost £45 but nintendo pursuaded them to put it down to thirty and nintendo gave them cheaper materials and how much did nintendo get for doing this? nintendo didn't want any but the games company gave them a measley 5 percent which wouldn't even pay for half of the materials they gave them.

I Rest my case...again....Who knows maybe 3rd time lucky?
