Geeze, you guys and gals who are shooting down this product CLEARLY did not read the packaging or get the hint "EXPANSION". It states AND shows right on the package that this item turns an 8mb memory card into a 16mb memory card. You simply insert your 8mb card into this item and plug it into your memory slot. It is pretty much used for the bigger games like the hunting games and others that take a lot of memory to save situations. So, it is NOT faulty in and of itself (of course faulty units may well be on the market just like everything else), but it works just as it is advertised to. And if you shop here at Amazon, an 8mb memory card is not $25 but can be bought for a much more reasonabe price. And no, I don't work for Amazon or Intec. I shop here for games and books simply because they most always have the best prices.

I read the reveiws and don't understand how come people are complaining. It says clearly that you can only use this Item with a sony PS2 8mb memory card. When you use the product in the way it is advertised it doubles your SONY memory cards storage and works with EVERY game I have, including vice city and san andreas, NHL 2005, ace combat, turok, freedom fighters, mortal kombat, bust a move, WRC, grand turismo, and more.
I find it interesting that all the complaints that are in the reveiws are from people who were ignorant of the product description which clearly stated how the product works.

I picked up several of these on clearance a few months back. They have worked awesome for me with my Sony memory cards. But then the inevitable happened and my old PS2 died on me. Just today, I picked up a new "slim" PS2 and this new system is not seeing the paks when plugged in. The lights on the paks seem to have a pulsing glow to them, like the new smaller system just isn't putting out enough power for even one of them to work. I am rather aggitated over this, but I know the product itself DOES work on the older style PS2's, but apparently not on the "slim" systems.

Take this into consideration when purchasing.

if you people think this doesnt work well it does just put your memory card in the slot of the memory card expansion pack and it works. yay. if you use this like a memory card dont. it is an expansion pack people not a memory card itself it just expands the memory of the memory card.

It was ok at first but about a year later my PS2 (i have the origanal) won't recognize it. It just makes the light blink and does nothing. My regular memorycards work but the 8mb expansion pack isn't recognizable. i've tried everything...

Has anyone else had this problem... If so how did you fix it thx

i got mine in the pro gamers case for the orignal ps2 and it dosent work with my sony 8 mb memory cards in my slim ps2. all i wanted was the case and the dvd remote but the controller and this piece of crap were a *bonus*

bought this and just flat out doesn't work with my 'slim' ps2...(...)

I read the instructions and followed them perfectly but it does not work for me. The PS2 either only shows an 8MB car plugged in (the size of the original) or no card at all. Seems like there are some major inconsistancies in the manufacturing process since it works for some and not others. I'd advise you not to throw anything away until you're sure it works if you buy this item. Unfortunately I did throw away the packaging before testing so I'm stuck with a new black door stop.

A salesperson told us this would be all we need to save games, but so far it's not recognized by any of the games for our brand-new PS2. Either you need to pony up the $25 for a real memory card so that this can work WITH it, or else ours is just plain defective.

Phooey on Sony for not including SOME storage with the PS2. Phooey on Intec for not stating plainly (either here, or in the product packaging, or on their website) whether you NEED an existing memory card for this thing to work.

do not buy this memory card. It doesn't work on very many games like grand theaft auto, Ace4, ect... sucks!!!
