Mine works just as good as my friends Sony brand memory card. You have to sit down with a stop watch to tell if there is any difference in loading and saving times because it is that minimal of a difference. It is a little more resistant when taking it out of the PS2, but not enough to make it a problem. Unless you just want to spend extra money for a name, I would recommend this memory card.

this memory card is just like the one made by sony..oh wait..sony tested this one too! only 29.99 with a better looking card with a case.the sony one doesnt come with it. oh yeah, that person that posted the review about not liking it...he put the card in a playstation console which you cant do, no wonder his playstation broke. this is only for the ps2

OK, No matter what anyone says, this card is seemingly the same as a Sony official card. Usually, I don't get anything but 1st Party Accessories for my PS1 and Dreamcast and when I got this for my birthday, I was somewhat angry. But, when I opened it and found that it had the MagicGate technology, and was licenced by Sony, I was relieved. The card uses the same encryption technology as the official card, costs less, and comes with a plastic carrying case (probably because if you have a game like MGS2 with a memory card holder in the case, the card won't fit.) and the card is a transparent blue on top, which seems to be a popular color for a memory card.

All in all, this card is perfectly good to buy, and for all those weary of a 3rd Party Card, forget about your worries, this card is great.

OK to start off, a memory card is needed to save and enjoy your games, without it you will have to restart at the beginning of the game, each time you play it. At first galnce this is a cheap and nice memory card and it seems like it has no flaws right? Well no below I have listed all the Pros, and Cons to this memory card.
PROS:
-Same amount of memory as a Sony Card
-Includes Magic Gate tecnology
-Cheaper than other memory cards
CONS:
-Will not fit into the slot in a game case
-Requires a good ""tug" to remove it from your system
-Slower than Sony's memory card
-Isn't as reliable
So I guess it is really up to you. Do you want a brand name memory card, or another 3rd party memory card? I would highly recomend Sony's memory card, becasue of its reliabilty, but the choice is yours.

ok Some people dislike this card but it is great it works perfect in my ps2 and saves all of my games fine and fast. Even though it is a third party item it works just as well if not better better then a sony card.I have bought sony cards for my psx and was at the last boss saved it shut it off came back later to load and it said cannot read memory card so i got mad and tried it 4 olther times and it didint work so i bought a mad catz card got to the same place saved it shut it off and turned it back on loaded it perfectley so ive been buying mad catz cards ever since so this is a GREAT card since ive had it for 2 months and y not save 5 dollars on a better card

It does the job. I bought one from a local toy store just to test the theory of slow save and load times some people has been complaining about. I found there was a difference, but not so much that I wouldn't save the five bucks to put toward another game.

This memory card is overpriced, I don't think that it loads nearly as fast as the Sony memory card or the interact one. So I'd Say, go with Sony first, second go with Interact, and as a last resort, go with this one.

I bought my first Mad Catz product - this memory card - about three years ago. Since then I've added to my collection of MC products everything from PS1 & PS2 controllers to multitaps to steering wheels. Mad Catz products are less expensive than Sony's, and every bit as good quality. I've *never* had an MC product go bad on me - including the many items I've bought used on auction sites. I don't doubt a bit that the reviews written by users who say that their Mad Catz items were "broken within a week" were sorely abused - probably thrown across the room every time they lost a game. Take care of your stuff, and it will last. Mad Catz makes great products, give 'em a try and you'll see the same.

It's cheeper, and its licensed by Sony. What more could you ask for? I haven't had any problems with it. (In fact, just in the past two weeks the SONY card corrupted my Madden2002 files). So no card is perfect, and this one works just as well as the ones that Sony makes themselves. So, if you're looking to get a new memory card but want to save [money] go for it.

At first i thought the little i.d. tag was going to be in the way of the slot, but i was wrong. I don't know why people say they have to force it out of the slot, it slides in and out easily for me. I don't get that kid who put it in his PSX :( And here's the BIGGIE it is cheaper and it's a SONY brand too. SO why spend an extra 5 bucks when you can get something just as good?
