    Hey, I wanna get a big memcard for my ps2 so I can save all of my games easy. 64mb seemed about right. I saw this one on amazon.com, so i'm wondering:

    http://www.amazon.com/64MB-Memory-Card-SONY-Playstation-Black/dp/B0032GVDNW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&m=A2LD3ZIXPG6DL7&s=generic&qid=1278897374&sr=1-3

    1. is the memcard itself ok?
    2. Can it actually read/write save files? I've heard that some cards can't and their only purpose is storage. I can use Ulaunch and a stick for that.
    3. If it can't read/write, what's the biggest size that can?

    thanks

    To be honest with you, that doesn't look too legit to me...I personally wouldn't buy that at all.

    i don't trust amazon, and the image doesn't make it look like a legit card......

    Ok, so what's a good card? Is datel max memory good? or are there sony cards that are huge?

    link me if you find one?

    EDIT: Okay, datel max memory reads/writes?

    A lot of the reviews say it's bad. One says nyko is good. What's nyko?

    I don't know. I have a MagicGate and the rest are Sony.
    But most likely, yes.

    hmm...maybe i'll just get another 8-megger? The saves for games like Jak and Psychonauts are huge...Do a lot of games have huge saves like that?

    Heck, even ffx's save is less than 100kb...

    does dragon quest 8, the other ffs minus 11 (an mmorpg), kingdom hearts, and the ratchet/clank series have small saves?

    BIG save games. :)

    GTA III
    GTA VC
    GTA SA
    Jak 3
    Those are the few I can think of.

    Actually, I have 4, 8MB cards and they are full. I only have 40 or so games.

    ace must have alotta big games.

    All the jaks are pretty big, I think (i know for jak 1 and 3.) Psychonauts is probly the biggest save on the console.

    So,
    does dragon quest 8, the other ffs minus 11 (an mmorpg), kingdom hearts, and the ratchet/clank series have big saves?

    and is this a reliable source for a legit sony 8 card?

    Ratchet Series has about an average of 700kbs or so if I remember correctly.

    Not sure, but the largest I have is over a megabyte.
