Never EVER buy a £5 memory card. Mr RE4 data and Code Veronica data just got completely wiped today and i'm so miffed.
Damn cheapness...

My crap memory cards have never wiped on me. I did have a 'Game on' memory card once. It cam up with 'Corrupted memory card' All I did was take it out the G a m e C u b e and bingo! It woked.
I've still got my Datel 16mb from launch.
Never failed.

Never? I've probably got about half-a-dozen of them stacked away somewhere, all thanks to SR and their (old-style) Free Gifts.
That's not to say I actually use them though - I always stick by the originals. But these come in handy when a friend or someone - especially the little kid next door - wants the taste of your games but you don't want to risk your precious data in his baby-like hands... :S
Saying all this, though, I did intentionally purchase an unofficial 4mb card solely for ISS 2/FIFA 2003 at one point due to each games sheer card-stealing size... And, for about two years now, ALL of my Winning Eleven 6 data remains safely on a 64mb Logic 3 card, now I think about it. :)
I believe those cheaper 4mb cards were made by Joytech, if memory serves me right.

I bought a large blue 4mb one for my old cube and that never failed.
Looked like it was pregnant though.

I'm SO glad that I went all out and bought an official Nintendo one.
May have cost me about £20, but, my god, at least i have save files.

Never buy Blaze cards either.
That goes for the N64 Blaze paks too, which I bought from dodgy old SR.

Ha. Miffed.
Fortunately my two 8Mb ones have never died on me, but I was lucky to have a free 4Mb official one. Went to buy a second hand official controller, and inside the box was the memory card, and no-one had labelled the box to say it came with it :P
Unofficial products are a dangerous business. Evidently the extra price for a Nintendo card is worth it.
Never heard of them. :S Which is probably why! :D
If you want cheap, Game have never done me wrong, although 4Gamers and Logic3 are good too.
