Sony extends the selection of PSP storage with 4GB Pro Duo cards
While
the storage solutions for the PSP were slim at launch, with Pro Duo
cards being both small and expensive, we're starting to see a whole new
world of storage for the system. Prices dropped on the existing
cards, while we also started hearing rumors of up to 2GB of storage on a
single Pro DUO. Datel also came out with their own
4GB add-on storage solution.
EBGames now has the listing for a 4GB Pro DUO
up on their website, with a June 1 release date that's right around
the corner. Expect to pay all for those music and video files though,
as the card will retail for about US$240. The important thing is the higher-capacity cards always
push down the prices of the lower capacity cards. This means
that the 2GB cards will become more affordable, and we already know that we'll
soon see an 8GB card.
The good news is that with the US$200 system
that doesn't come with the paltry 32MB card, 4GB of storage with a new
system can be yours for about US$440. That's not a bad price for a
system that can do everything the PSP can. You get a good gaming
system, a nice portable music player, and the ability to rip your own
video content to watch on the go. That screen also beats almost every
other portable on the market in terms of video playback.
As
memory gets cheaper the PSP just gets more attractice and more suitable
as a portable media viewer. Here's to dropping prices and bigger
capacity!
