Anyone voting this cold - please explain why as from what I've seen, you can't get a pro duo anywhere else for less.

I've not voted either way but Pro Duo is very expensive so that could be why the cold votes
This gadget is a much better purchase if you need pro duo:

I have 2 x 32GB microSD cards in mine so my PSP has 64GB for a little over £40

I prefer using official technology to be fair. Hate third party crap.

It's far from crap and in most cases 3rd party "crap" exceeds the specifications of the official "crap"

But as it wouldn't support magicgate and ur worried about official ps store downloads not working on them, then it's ur choice

I don't think you can download games if you use sd cards as the console checks for 'magicgate'.

It's ok if you want fake firmware and pirated games I guess, but then again what sort of true gamer would want to do that?!

Probably a non judgemental one?

Just cracked out my PSP the other night - scene has changed a lot since I last used mine.

Little SNES emulator running right now -> brilliant.

I remember paying ~£40 for my MS Pro Duo a few years back.

All personal preference really.

Maybe he doesn't want to break the law and have illegal downloads everywhere?!

There's nothing wrong with being legit you know. It is actually piracy that's illegal. I hate it when people won't hold their hands up to it and say it's highly illegal what they're doing.

I've (unknowingly) used third party memory sticks from manufactured inChina, and despite MagicGate not being recognised on them I had no problems whatsoever saving my data, downloaded games, music or movies onto them. Bought a 16gb Pro Duo second hand from CEX and it said Sandisk on it but was a cheap immitation. I only realised this around 6 months down the line when I realised my PSP could check if the mem stick was certified or not. It worried me at first but considering the length of time I'd been using it there could be nothing that could go wrong. After nearly 4 years of use nothing went wrong with this supposedly cheap Chinese immitation.

Recently sold both the PSP and mem stick to make room for a Vita and no-one bothered checking if my mem stick was MagicGate certified or not before trading it in. You have to remember that they are 8 years old now and dropping in both price and popularity. The micro SD card adaptors are actually a much better option as you can potentially quadruple your space for only a few quid more as opposed to these limited use and frankly over-priced Pro Duos.

Decent price for a supposedly "official" memory stick, but if I still had a PSP I'd rather stock up on cheap micro SD cards and get an even cheaper third party adaptor.
