To all those out there who want more memory space for their Gamecube, let this be a warning.
I recently purchased a 16x Mega Memory Card and was extremely disappointed. At first I was so overwhelmed by the enormous amount of memory space that I now possessed that I proceeded to transfer every file that I had on my Memory Card 59's to this memory monster. I moved every single file from every game I own to the 16x and didn't use even half of the space.
Then the disaster. I turned on my Gamecube to play and recieved a message. The file for the game I was playing was corrupt and had to be deleted. In a panic I began to try all of my games and guess what, EVERYTHING was corrupted! Every high score, team roster, mission, level....Everything that I had accomplished on any game since I bought my Gamecube in November was ERASED!
Whether or not this has happened to others, I do not know. But it happened to me, and it will take me countless hours to get back what I had. So, if you are thinking about purchasing a Mega Memory Card, just make sure that you make backup copies of all of your files so that you don't end up like me!

It IS true. This memory card will get corrupt, but do not listen what others are saying. A game will always prompt you, saying "The file you have selected is corrupt, and must therefore be deleted before continuing." This only happens sometimes, but watch this.

ALWAYS carry a Nintendo Memory card handy. Either a 59 or that new 251 one. When you get the error, turn the game off, and put the Nintendo brand card in an open slot (There are 2 slots. A and B) and load the Gamecube Setting screen. (Either take the game out or hold down "A" when the gamecube logo starts to assemble at the opening screen) and you will see a box. Go down to the "memory card" space. Highlight the file, and click "move". The file will be moved to the other card. It will no longer be corrupt. Take out the Interact card and use the Nintendo one for the game instead.

Basically, the card is used more as a storage device. If you don't know what to do, don't look at me, you obviously don't know how to work a gamecube.

Card seemed to work great for days at a time. However data would become corrupt and we would be prompted to delete the file every few days. Initially when my 10 year old lost his data on Sonic Adventure 2 Battle I convinced him it would be fun to "do it all again." The second time I agree that this is not what we paid for. Very unstable and has been returned. Not typical of the quality I am used to purchasing at Amazon.

I thought this would be good so I bought it. I reget it! Sure, it has a lot of blocks but it damaged my WWE x8, Madden 2002, Mario and probely more! Stick with the 251.

Don't buy this ... If you're just trying to use it for a few days to beat a game it is fine, but after using it for more than a week it begins to lose your files. You'll go to load up your game and it will just say "File Corrupted, do you wish to delete it?" Just wait for Nintendo's Memory Card 259 or whatever it's called to come out.

I bought this card about 3 weeks ago. I already had 2 memory card 59's, and was actually thinking of another one. Then I saw this. I bought, and it has never failed me. Some people have said it messes up when they play madden and ASB 2003, but I have saved each of those games about 4-6 times, and it has never messed up. I am using up about 500 blocks, since I own both madden 2002, and ASB 2003, and I REALLY like franchise mode. I also have about 10 other games saved on it. If you need a big memory card, buy this asap!

This memory card was purchased as a Christmas gift for my daughter. Within a couple of hours it had erased her Animal Crossing savings twice!!! Don't waste your money on this product.

I plugged it in with the cube off, powered up, and it was not "present".

DOA.

What's the deal, Interact???

i bought this and on the 2nd day of use everything got erased...
plus it says "memory card is not inserted in slot 1"
and it is...
plus that happened on the 2nd day of use...
THE SECOND DAY!!!!!!!!!! OF USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEN IT GOT BACK TO NORMAL, AND THEN GOT PERMANANTLY ERASED!!!!!

The standard Gamecube memory card is pathetically small. I owned FOUR GC games, and when I bought my fifth I found out the card was full, and I couldn't save a thing. Come on.
Anyway this card is great. More space than I'll ever need,and for the price of just two standard cards. Too bad it wasn't out when I bought the console, could have saved fifteen bucks.
I own Interact memory cards for two other systems, and have never had any problems with them. This one has been no different.
