Okay, this is a great memory stick. Since I used it for the psp I'll review it on that. If the 32, 132, or 256 mb memory sticks just aren't enough space for you, and you don't want to spend the extra cash on the 1 gig, then I suggest this one. Whatever people say, this works the same as the Sony brand. Plus, you're not going to spend 80 dollars like on the Sony one (which is rediculous). I actually think it's a little bit faster in transferring and loading on the psp. And for only 40 bucks on this site, how could you go wrong with it? Even if when you put this in the psp it's a little less than 512 mb, it has enough space. This can store plenty of mp3s, game saves, game cheats, video, homebrew, and photos. Don't listen to the people that say Sony is better. There's no difference in the performance of the two companies (Sony and SanDisk).
To the kid that didn't know how to put tv shows on his psp, I'll try to explain it my best. Whether you have them on dvd or are downloading them, they need to be mp4s. You can download numerous video converters to make video files mp4s. Just search google for 3GP Converter. You should find a decent one there. After making your video an mp4, you have to transfer it to the psp. After reformatting a psp (just go to the menu on psp and find "format memory stick") you connect your psp to the computer. Go to the disk that it's named as in "My Computer". You'll see that there is no video section but something called MP_ROOT. Open that and you'll see the folders 100ANV01 and 100MNV01. Open 100MNV01 and put you're mp4 of the tv show in there. Turn on your psp, go to video, and you're show will be right there.

It says 512 MB, but when I first put mine in it said 468 MB or something, either way, this is still a GREAT memory stick for the price. ( I can't believe it's so cheap on Amazon, at best buy mine was 80 bucks. )

Definite must buy for anybody with a PSP that wants to take full advantage of its capabilities.

Notes: I have about 6 spongebob squarepants episodes on my PSP. ( 11 minutes or so long ) and there is still PLENTY of space left on my memory stick.

I had 95 songs on this memory stick and had PLENTY of space left. You should have absolutely no problem getting 120 or so songs on this thing, assuming they are 2-4 minutes in length.

So think about this: An Ipod Shuffle holds about 100 and it costs 100 dollars, or you can buy a memory stick that is 50 dollars or so that can hold 120 or more.

BUY IT!! IT WORKS GREAT!!

I got this memory card for my psp when it was $80. Now it's only $30 which is a GREAT bargain. I don't even use it though cause I keep my music and videos on my iPod. But it's good for those who don't have a iPod or who have homebrew still.

i think this is very good for saving music n' stuff but do you need this to save games because people only talk about the movies and music and not the games and before i buy it (and the psp) i want to know if u need this to save games

This memory card is amazing! It saves basically everything you need. Also this one is in green (i like green). Here is an exepected bonus for you madden 06 owners. With this memory card you get 100 points toward your assistant coach practice squad! This card is the best i would reccomend it for anyone.

This memory stick is great it can hold game saves, images, music, tv shows and movies. The only flaw is that some songs you have to convert into mp3 format. And Sean, shut up about the mistakes. This memory stick is well worth the money.

This product is a must have for PSP users out there. Not only is it a very convenient storage size, but also an affordable prize. What I really like about this product is its distinct color. For those that have more than 1 memory stick, this one can at least stand out in order to help you differentiate. I definitely recommend this product if youre just trying to play your games and are looking to not spend a lot of money on a memory stick.

Am very pleased with the memory card. My son got a psp for Christmas and is glad to have a memory card like this one.

For any who are confused about the fact that even though it is a 512 MB Memory Stick, but it says that it only has 470 MBish, that's because of the way companies use the term, "megabyte". The company making the stick considers a megabyte to be 1000 kilobytes, which are each 1000 bytes, so a megabyte is 1,000,000 megabytes. Thus, the capacity of the stick is 520,000,000 MBs. However, the PSP, and all other devices, consider 1MB=1024KB=1048576 bytes. So the 520,000,000 byte capacity of the stick is considered by the PSP to be just under 596 MBs. The rest of the space taken up is by stuff needed to make it work, but it's not ALL that, just "formatting". (Yes, the companies rip you off, deal with it)

this is a great memory card its just that i really need help putting tv shows on my psp and i neeeeeeed help with that (...)
