Amazon.com Product Description

The new SanDisk Pro Duo 1 GB Gaming Memory Stick lets you turn your PSP (PlayStation Portable) or other hand-held device into a fully-loaded, multimedia entertainment device. It is a perfect solution for anyone who needs to capture and play back DVD-quality video in real time, or store CD-quality music, high-resolution digital images, and any other application that requires high performance, fast data transfer, large capacities and advanced security.

The Pro Duo memory stick offers larger storage capacities than standard memory stick cards, so you can store your game saves, view and store images, play your favorite videos, as well as listen to digital music. Fast transfer-rates help prevent data loss when power is suddenly cut-off, or in case the media is removed accidentally. This game card utilizes exclusive MLC memory and controller technology developed at SanDisk, and advanced security with Access Control Function and MagicGate technology for safe transfer of copyright protected content. The Pro Duo also includes bonus gaming content for EA Sports Madden NFL '06, which allows gamers to receive 100 points toward their Assistant Coach Franchise mode. This unit features a one-gigabyte capacity, although users should be aware that some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and is thus not available for data storage. The Pro Duo memory disk also features a stylish translucent-yellow casing, and high transfer speeds, and comes with a manufacturer's limited five-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better than Sony!, August 8, 2005

By 

HockeyGod19 (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SanDisk SDMSG-1024 Pro Duo 1 GB Gaming Memory Stick (Personal Computers)

I own this card and the Sony 1 GB version. This card when writing data to the psp via usb cable copied a 728 meg movie file in over HALF the time as the sony.

(...)

Also, I like the plastic case that comes with this card over the little sleeve that the sony card came with. The first day I had this card, I received the card at work. I put the card and the case in my pocket, then of course forgot it was in there.

Pants got washed over the weekend. I realized this after the pants were in the dryer, and a cold chill came over me remembering the card was in the pants!

After being washed and in the dryer, I though for sure it was toast. The card had a small water bubble i could see through the yellow casing. Popped it in my psp. It formatted fine. Then i copied my movie, which like I stated earlier, is still twice as fast as Sony's overpriced card.

I give this card TWO SUDS up.........

This review is from: SanDisk SDMSG-1024 Pro Duo 1 GB Gaming Memory Stick (Personal Computers)

Got this to replace the too-small 32 MB pack-in card with the PSP. Works great, comes in a little clear hardcase, seems to be faster than Sony's. Fits about 3 hours of converted DVD video as well as about 100 photos, all game saves, and 10-20 MP3s. Has made my PSP better than a portable DVD player (battery life is better playing from a MemStick than from UMD). Save up for this to make your PSP into a media powerhouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars 100% Amazing Porduct, September 18, 2005

By 

The Artist "The Artist" - See all my reviews

The 1GB card is very reasonably priced definitely, and worth every cent. Whether you want all your music, game expansions, mods, videos, converted DVD's, pictures and all your game save this is for you!

But, the card has one downside to it, it is advertied as 1GB, which is 1000MB, but industry works each megabyte as 1000kilobytes when it is actually 1024, causing a signifigantly lower amount of memory than you payed for. Still, the difference of around 60Megabytes doesnt make much difference at all considering you are left with 940MB then. Of course, this goes for all memory cards not just the one gig, and not just ProDuo.

In terms of what you can fit, from my own experience, you can get around 25 cartoons on it, (simpsons, futurama, hellsing etc) in DVD quality, if you use the new AVC video format this increases without losing any quality. On a lower quality setting you should fit many more.

Musicwise ;

- 10MB songs: 94

- 6MB songs: 156

- 5MB songs: 188

- 3MB songs: 313

This is around 1101minutes of song.

This product is an amazing investment for any PSP gamer looking to utilise fully the PSP's capabilities and optimize their gaming experience.

I hope my review is of help to you, Cilein
