It kinda does. I've heard the Sony one is really slow and the Sandisk one is the best.

I have the Sandisk 4 gb. I have like permanent SOTN.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 22, 2007, 01:25:56 PM: I refuse to pay for PS1 downloads as long as you a) need a PS3 and b) keep releasing shitty games

Well, Sony is kind of going in order with their first party games (Going from the games released early to late). I don't know if there will be many 3rd party PS1 downloads in the end, because they are too cheap ($5.99 for PS1 downloads compared to the price of VC games is a steal). I already have a PS3, so it doesn't affect me any. :D I'll admit, it somewhat pushed me into getting a PS3 sooner.

Well, there's only a certain price I'd be willing to pay for a MS, which is why I wouldn't go really big (Could have gotten a 1GB with my PSP, but went with 512MB because of price).

If not skip it.

No need for the mp3 player thing but i've not seen a cheap 4gb card yet. But i'm more concerned about read times and lag for iso's in game.

Post by: G The Resurrected on February 22, 2007, 06:45:44 PM: Ok cool

how much can you store on a 2gb card?

and also how much video can you get on 2gb and 4gb cards

Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 22, 2007, 06:50:30 PM: I can get good quality Heroes rips to about 250MB. That's like 42 minutes. Feature length DVDs are like 900MBs for me.

Post by: Vizzys on February 22, 2007, 06:52:31 PM: I think a 2gb can hold 1906mb after formatting. thats my guess, I dont remember the actual size.

video?

well lets say the average 25 min show is 90-240 mb depending on how you encode it. Depends on the quality you want.

so lets say 14 videos of around that size, maybe more maybe less
