Playstation 2 Memory Card 8MB 2PK Red/Blue Reviews

• Buy two and save

  
  By A423XLYS1Q1D6 on 2003-05-01
  With Sony-brand memory cards running at $25 a pop, buying memory cards for the PS2 system can get expensive. This package deal, which features one red and one blue card (green and gray are also available), allows the buyer to save a reasonable amount of money. But why would you need two cards? If you have a lot of games, it is easy to fill up a card, and having an extra gives you extra space. Or, one could be reserved for saving online games, or for cheat codes (which isn't a bad idea, since codes can sometimes corrupt your saved games if put on the same card). This may be somewhat expensive up front, but you'll save money in the long run. And, as an added bonus: If you have two kids (or more), multiple colored cards will allow each one to have his/her own different card, so no one fights over them or overwrites the other's games.
  
  

• Sony Finally Listened. This is the result....

  After thousands of reviews and E-mails complaining about the price of a Sony Memory Card, this little packaged was created. Included are two colored memory cards. They are made by Sony and include Magigate Technology. The only drawback is the fact that they are colored so if you like everything to match then you gotta buy the black ones. This is a great product and is a needed item if you are going to be buying a PS2. All games need a memory card to save your progress. Without one, then you will always start from the beginning of the game. I highley recomend this product as it is made by Sony and works just as well as the original.
  
  

• Good memory card but one should be enough...

  
  By A1RZ1KIP4LJYDZ on 2003-12-28
  If you're completely one of those HARDCORE gamers who spend more than 4 hours a day playing videogames, 2 memory cards should fit you nicely, considering the amount of games you could possible play in that time. However, if you're a easy gamer like me (no more than 2-3 hours a day) 1 should be enough. If you're that hardcore gamer and need that much space to fit all your gaming needs, this is surely going to save you money, as buying 2 memory cards separately cost approximately 50 dollars, about the cost of a brand new just-released game. These memory cards word pretty well so don't expect files that magically disappear or save files that become corrupted that lead you to start the game over again. A memory card is a must buy if you own a PS2 but whether you need 2 is your choice.
  
  

• Stop messing with us!

  
  By A1YB1HAIR5HYF on 2005-12-27
  It's flash memory! Of course it works just fine. Why do we have to spend this kind of money for two 8mb memory cards?? In the world of computers, you can get 512mb for the same cash. It's just SO MUCH GREED it's sickening. Hey Sony, spend the twenty cents per console and give us 128mb of built in memory in the first place!! It's all we'll ever need at home. If we need to bring our saves to a buddy's house, we'll get removable media. (How about a USB port for thumb drives or an SD slot?!?) We understand how you're screwing us and we're angry.
  
  

• Bad Service

  I bought this pack of memory card 3 weeks ago. I still have not recieceved them, I had to go buy them in a store. They never came, beware of who you buy from. Read all of his/her reviews firts
  
  
• 2 is a whole lot better than 1
  By AQI2CW6UKF1ES on 2002-11-24
  I decided that this didn't cost much at a store so I brought it and now I got 2 memory cards in my PS2, and it's just as good as the black ones. Trust me you'll get ur moneys worth
  
  
• Good quality but overpriced.

  Amazon.com is a rip off. You can get this dual pack for $15 - $20 at eBay.com.
  
  
• A Must-Have for Every PS2 Owner
  By A3V6Z4RCDGRC44 on 2006-12-19
  I still remember when the Sony PlayStation 2 first came out, with its 8mb memory cards. The game store owner was raving about them. "You'll never use one up!" he said. Now we have eight ... it really goes to show how every time new technology opens up, developers immediately find a way to fill it up.
  
  First off, many games now take up massive amounts of save space. If you're playing a game like Final Fantasy, where you want to save every 1/2 hr to hour just in case you get yourself stuck and need to go back to build up your characters, you use up memory card space quickly. Believe me, I'd much rather spend a few extra dollars on memory card space, vs wasting weeks of frustrating time having to replay entire games to get past a difficult boss.
  
  It's also critical, if you have more than one gamer in the family, to have separate memory cards. I can't tell you how many people email me at my gaming sites, wondering if they can "recover" lost save data because someone else accidentially overwrote or erased their save game. If it's a game you just started playing it's not so bad - but if you had been building your characters up over months, and had just about solved the entire epic game, it can be heart wrenching.
  
  These memory cards work for all PS2 games. If you get yourself a PS3, then you definitely will want to also get the PS2 - PS3 memory adapter. This little unit lets you plug your PS2 card into it, then a USB connector plugs into the PS3 so that the save games all read right into your PS3. Now you can play all your PS2 games on your PS3 without having to start from scratch. Note that your PS3 does NOT natively let you "stick the PS2 memory card into it". There is no slot on the PS3 for the PS2 card.
  
  Also, for games that you play for multiple weeks, I definitely recommend having a memory card backup of your current save games. Memory cards get lost, they get "borrowed" by accident, they do lose data occasionally if you step on them or drop them in the snow. Just like you back up your computer's hard drive occasionally, back up those important game save files. It only takes a few minutes and can save you months of replaying.
  
  Well recommended!
  
  
  
• Best thing if there is more than one player
  By A12E78L9515IF6 on 2005-05-11
  My self, my wife, and the the two boyz we have are all playing with the PS2. Each has his/her own game and savings. This is a must if you have more than one player using the game. Each has his memory card (stick) and has his/her own game levels saved on it. Never had any trouble with any of them, nor did it ever hang on me. I am truely satisfied with the product.
  
  
• Must Have For A Playstation2 Owner
  By on 2005-01-05
  I am a frequent playstation2 player and this is a neccessity. I have been getting games since the PS2 came out, and I have over 50 videogames so I have a total of 5 memory cards and they are all full. If you play videogames you are going to need at least one, but it is much cheaper to buy this pack and they come in cool red and blue colors. Some videogames take up ALOT of space on the memory card such as the Jak series and Madden NFL Football series. I reccomend this product to ANY PS2 owner and I suggest buying two of these because in the long run you are going to need them. If you are going to buy someone a PS2 you need to buy them this and an extra controller because if you don't they will very dissapointed. You can't go wrong with this product and I do not reccomend buying ANY non-Sony produuct including memory cards.
  
  
• A must have, don't get the clones
  By AWAGG6IPM1GZQ on 2005-08-10
  I've tried a number of different cheaper rippoffs that either had more memory or were priced less, but I always had a problem with them in one game or another. I've never had a problem with these, for the price (which isn't great) these are the probably the best buy. You'll want two if there's more than one of you playing on the PS2
  
  
• 2 memory cards for the price of 1........HOLLA........LOL
  By A1HSL61P6MP89P on 2002-11-18
  Man i just got my memory card on 11-08-02 and it is working perfect, and not just that i have 8mb blue memory card but i also have a red 1 with the same memory for only under 30 bucks... yeah the regular memory card cost under 30 bucks but 2 against 1..........mmmmmm which 1 u rather buy it is up 2 u but i suggest u to buy 2 pak memory card
  
  
• it is simply the best of the best
  By on 2003-02-24
  I love this memory card it rocks. And since it is made by Sony it is gauranteed to be of the best possible quality. Plus since the files on a PS2 game are simply tiny than 1 memory card can hold like ten games at least. Plus the price if you catch it on sale is about the same as one memory card. It is more durable than the other brands. For example my friends memory card went through the washing machine and it still works. Bottom line is you can not save without a card so you might as well buy the best one there is out there.
  
  
• i think.......
  By on 2005-06-13
  this mem card could be cheaper. end of. just a piece of junk with what they give you for your money. you could honestly use that money for two cds, not on this. RIP OFF! don't lie to yourself. this is a worthless piece of junk.take at leat £7 off it and it would be a sweet deal.
  
  
  Ps; actually o stars but that option isn't included, and i've tried and tested this item!!!!!!
  
  
• Better than original
  By on 2002-09-08
  This is the best if you think you need to memory cards. It is cheaper than buying 2 black memory cards. If you don't care about the colors this is the best ever.
  
  
• So Much Space!
  By A2QKY8BBTR6K99 on 2004-01-05
  These are well worth the cost. There's enough room on these memory cards to last even the heaviest of gamers a while...

• The "must have" Memory Card Pack
  By A7W4T3F2X31V2 on 2006-11-05
  The memory cards came exactly as advertised and they worked great. No read errors, VERY noticeable increased speed of load time compared to other card types..would recommend to anyone looking for a value pack of memory cards because this was well worth it.
  
  
• A good buy for reliable cards
  By AYOOTS4QGBAV2 on 2007-04-09
  A good price for two Sony brand memory cards. Don't trust your countless hours of game play to knock-offs. Have had them for a year now with zero problems.

• Paying for SONY
  By AG3XKSY6YWH95 on 2004-12-03
  These cards work great and I like the colors. My only question is whether they're worth the extra money over memory cards made by third party companies. Sony will tell you that you can't be sure the others will work properly, but I've never had a problem with the one I have. It's worth considering, especially now that so many games require a fair amount of memory for you to play them.
  
  
• Lots of Memory
  By A1G09CKQ0NNG8K on 2005-08-23
  I love the colors and the amount that can be saved on them. I was surprised at how much 8mb can hold.
  
  
• My daughter loves it
  By AYR0049I3E5UB on 2006-03-22
  My 9 year old daughter loves PS2, so buying the cards were worth the cost.
  
  
• Great Value!
  By AUE6OYJKMENZL on 2007-01-21
  If you need memory cards for your PS2 buy them here. Amazon had the best price ($10 more at Wal-Mart) and free shipping!
  
  
• Great cards
  By AJO1ONFDSONQW on 2005-04-05
  There really isn't any flaws with these memory cards and buying two instead of one is alot better than buying 2 seperately and it'll save you some bucks. The only thing is that if you have 3 or more games that use 2000+K memory space you might wand to consider the 32MB memory card that codejunkies makes.
  
  
• Great value
  By AN7FU7ZKM17XM on 2007-03-12
  The memory is a great deal. The 2 pack costs less than purchasing 2 8 meg memory cards individually. I stayed away from the non-Sony brand memory based on the results of reviews. It is easy to format (just plug it in the Play Station when you turn it on and it will do the rest from there). It also makes playing games more enjoyable, as you can start where you left off rather than starting from the beginning. The memory works just fine, and is a great value at the price.
  
  
• Best price
  By A101N140H486ZE on 2007-04-01
  You will not find another deal better than this. Though I only need one, but for the price of one, you get two, why not?
