Why You Need a PSP Memory Stick




Sony will soon release the latest PSP Memory Stick Pro Duo, a 4 GB storage card that costs a whopping $250. Since Sony recently dropped the price of the PSP from $250 to $199, the storage unit will cost more than the console. To date, the latest Memory Stick for the PSP has 2 GB in storage capacity.  It goes down from there to 1GB, 512MB, 256MB, 128MB, 64MB and 32MB.  When the PSP first debuted, it came with a 32MB Memory Stick.

What’s It Used For?

The PSP allows you to play games, listen to music, look at photos and even watch movies, but where are all of these things stored?  The PSP Memory Stick Duo is used to store your game progress, music, video content and photos.  A full-size movie can easily use up about 256MB, so it can get pretty expensive if you plan to download a few movies. Then you still have your music and your game progress to store and we haven’t even touched on all of the photos you have.

The key to this dilemma is to organize and prioritize.  You will have to decide what is a must have, what is important and what you can due without having handy access to.  If you’re much of a gamer, you’ll want to keep your game progress handy so if that is your priority, everything else might have to take a backseat.  If music and movies are a priority, then they will use the most space.  Of course, if money is no option, buy all the PSP Memory Stick Duos you can afford.  If however, you have to be selective, here are some options:

Keep Your Memory Stick Sorted!

Treat it like your dresser drawer and closet space.  Just as you keep the clothes you wear most often near you, do the same with PSP Memory Stick.  Anything that you must have handy can be stored on your PSP Memory Stick Duo.  Those things that you want to keep but you do not need at your fingertips can be saved on your PC.  This will allow you to easily retrieve it when you want to show your Uncle Gus your vacations slides.  And of course your favorite songs will have a place on the Memory Stick.

This method of loading up your PSP based on what you will be doing can be very helpful.  If you’re going to be flying or going on a long trip you can customize your PSP Memory Stick by putting several movies and extra music it.  Once Uncle Gus has seen your vacation pictures you can put them back on your PC.  I guess what I am saying is to save the room on the PSP Memory Stick for what you will need for your trip: your favorite songs, a movie for the flight, pictures of your loved ones, whatever you would like. 

Once you prioritize your needs, you’ll have fun deciding how much storage space to invest in and what is important enough to keep close to the PSP.  If you just can't decide, you can always do a search on the Internet and pick up another PSP Memory Stick Duo for a good price.
