4.0 out of 5 stars Double the memory for half the price, no disc needed, October 16, 2003

I've read the reviews posted here, there appears to be a conflict of facts. Some of the reviewers said their product came with a boot disc, while some did not.

The one I have did not come with a boot disc and it did not need the disc to operate. It is truly plug-and-play right out of the box. It is basically a memory card at double the normal capacity (at 16MB) with an expansion slot which allows you to plug your original memory card in there. A switch on the card allows you to switch between the 16MB expansion and the 8MB memory card. There are 2 LED indicators that lets you know whether it's the 16MB expansion or the 8MB memory card that can be accessed currently. This means you cannot access saved files on both memory cards at the same time, but at least you can access 16+8 = 24MB's worth of saved files via a single port without rebooting the system or physically replacing the cards. With 2 of these and 2 memory cards, you can have 48MB's worth of memory using only 2 memory card slots compared to the 16MBs you are limited to if you are only using the regular memory cards.

At $12.49, this is defiinitely a great value and a great alternative to a Sony brand memory card, which gives you half the amount of memory at double the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disc Swap Tricks to get more memory, January 16, 2003

This comes with such an annoying bootloader that you have to use before each and every game. There are a few games (such as Super Bust-a-move) that this doesn't even work with. It's a hack and it makes you swap discs each and every time you load a game.

Spend the extra bucks and buy a real memory card.

This review is from: Intec PlayStation 2 16MB Memory Expansion Card (Video Game)

I buyed this item two weeks ago... I put many saves in it... Works very well! Works like a single memory card(don't need to swap, no CD is included anyway!!!)

But today my PS2 tell me that this 'memory card' is unformatted. Impossible to see my saves...

I choose 'Format It' and I see 'Format Failed'!!!

It's now impossible to save on it. And I lost all my saves! WOW!

DON'T BUY THAT ******!
