I purchased this card for my husband and he kept losing his information. After commenting this with other players, they told him the card was famous for being one of the worst on the market. Do not waste your money as I did!

If you are desparate and on a budget, you could buy this memory card...but you'd be better off to add a few more dollars and get something that actually works. This card is well, in a word, JUNK. It freezes up and you can lose huge chunks of saved game material. Don't waste your money.

I've used a Mad Catz card for about 2 years now, and it's been fine for the most part. However, I do know for a fact that *all* third-party memory cards go bad and stop working properly, it's just a matter of when. (Those "compressed" cards that store more than 15 blocks are especially flaky and unreliable.) If you can't afford to spend that much or just want a card to keep some loose non-important save files on, then a Mad Catz card will work fine. But if you've got the cash to spare, you'd be much better off buying a Sony card and getting top of the line.

Bought this memory card new thinking a memory card is a memory card, as long as it hold your data who cares about if it's a Sony or not. But when I got the card, the case was falling apart already. So I decided to remove the screws and open the plastic case and have a look inside.

To my amazement, the quality of the card was so bad, one of the plastic screw posts (holding the case together) was already broken, so only one side the the case was holding the top and buttom together. The connector was not gold plated (The Sony memory cards are), this will cause the connector to wear out very quickly. When you insert this card into Playstation, it did not snap into place like the Sony card did, so this card could become loss after extended play.

All these problem might cause your games not to be saved properly or erased by accident. Spend [a little extra] and get the Sony one.

Mad Catz is an awful producer of products. Do NOT purchase any memory cards, controllers, or any other peripherals...they WILL become faulty.

i bought this memory card about a year ago and it worked for about 3 weeks. after that i put it in and it said there wasnt a memory card in the system. i put it in the second slot and it worked. now it dont work at all. it should be worth $1.99. i will never buy a mad catz product again.

When i got this momery card it was fine then in a couple of days
it didn't work.

All these problem might cause your games not to be saved properly or erased by accident. So I would not recomment these 3rd party cards.

I got this so I can play Final Fantasy 7 and 9 on my PS2. In the PS2 browser, it won't show up at all; FF9 detects it but cant format the card; and FF7 it says that there's no room on the card. i did all of my tests with 2 identical cards, with the same results in both cases.

I got this card from 'sup-media', and it seemed like they were a really good vendor. They sent it out right away and sent me a second one (out of box) when it didn't work. Unfortunately the second one didn't work either.

Its opinion that they are trying to sell defective merchandise, plus they use false advertising: the one I received is gray and labeled "Komodo - PS1 memory card 1 Mega/15 blocks. The one I ordered is supposed to be clear yellow...

I'm going to try to get a refund and buy a different one.

I bought this memory card to be able to save all the games I just bought for the original Playstation. I have a PS2, so I needed an original playstation memory card to save them. Finally a month and a half later I'm free enough to play them and the memory card doesn't work. It says it needs to be formatted but will never format....so in essences kiddies...this product is a POS.
