"Isn't the ps2 memory card just too expensive"

I have a ps2 and two games but i still haven't bought a memory card coz i can't afford one, i have to survive without it for a few weeks and that means that to play tekken bowl mode I first have to unlock it every time and it is very exhausting. Hey and can you tell me where I can get one for free or less than twenty quid.

Absolutely positive. PS1 cards show up as 128K, PS2 cards as 8192K - or eight TRUE megabytes.

Are you sure it's not MegaBits?

You have interestingly sized memory cards!
The new one is 8mb, which most seem to agree on. the PSX official memory cards were 8Kb per slot, which was 120Kb for most memory cards.

This means that the new one is 66 and 2/3 times as big, so if the original was £10, that puts the new one at £666.67!
That makes £25 seem reasonable doesn`t it!

I Got my PS2 memory card from Special Reserve for £24.99

And I think that is a good price considering that the PS2 memory card is 8 times bigger than the orgial PSX card!

:>)

Oh and they changed my user name from m_bison to 144 so when you see a message with 144 thats mine

I actually had no choice but to get it at £27.49 because i just couldn't do without it. I have now saved my tekken tag data and its all good but i still think that the memorycard is just too expensive.

Even though the Official Memory Card costs £27.99, hat is basically the only price, as after that you get a massive Memory card and should not have to buy any more, and for that price thank god you don't!

Also, the Price of games, even in the High Street, are £39.99, and only in places like MVC they try and sell PS2 games for £44.99, so go for the High Street, and if you go into EB, then get there Loyalty Card, for only £2 it is well worth it if you visit regularly!

The truth is everything will be a lot of money, because they know people like us will have to pay it to get what we need, until 6 months time when the 3rd Party developers give Sony Official a run for there money, and as they will then have competition, they have no choice but to drop the price, but we still have to wait!

The average price for a PS2 memory card is £20 exactly. Don't get suckered into paying £29-£30 for it (not that you will) just yet, wait for a 4Mb card.

If you want to join in a small mem-card debate, see my latest topic.

I think that everthing is to expensive for the playstation 2 it's going to be like £50 a game and that takes ages to save up unless you win on special reserve obviously I think that all the prices are just plain stupid At these prices I am not sure that they will sell a memory card.

The old memory cards were 1MB uncompressed and 11.99 by the way
