Sony 4 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Flash Memory Card MSMT4G Review.
"Works Great With PSP" 2008-03-25
By John J. Robinson (Nashville, TN United States)
This 16GB Memory Stick Duo II card works great with the PSP portable gaming system. It comes pre-formatted, so all you have to do is stick it into your PSP and go. In fact, there is a picture of the PSP right on the packaging.
The usable space on this device is actually 14.9 GB, however.
The "Mark2" certification on the card has to do with higher writing speed requirements and indicates the memory is certified to operate with AVCHD recording products.
"Bought this for my PSP" 2008-05-15

This is currently the only available 16GB Memory Stick. I bought it for my Playstation Portable in order to replace an 8GB Memory Stick.
Regarding the price you can easily argue that it is much cheaper to buy two 8GB Memory Sticks. And for any person who is concerned about spending money I would not recommend this product.
At the time I bought it, Amazon was offering the best price online. Regarding the fact that this Memory Stick is about $50 more expensive than the PSP itself, makes you think twice. But my sole purpose was that I wanted to keep things together: my music, videos and saved games etc.
This Memory Stick is large enough to satisfy my thirst for disc space with a single solution.
The Memory Stick works fine in my PSP. Before this one I used a Sandisk 8GB Memory Stick Pro Ultra and I cannot see a difference in read/write speed (while connected through USB to my PC).
Final thoughts:
If you are concerned about spending money and you can live with more than one MS for your gadgets, you should get two or more 8GB MS. If you want a single solution and price is of no matter, get this one. Since it is from Sony you can be sure it works with your MS-enabled gadgets.
Pro:
- high capacity
- read/write speed is up to par with other (higher ranked) memory sticks (using the PSP USB connection!)
Con:
- not cheap
5 out of 5 stars; simply because the price does not matter to me
(My guess is that the price will drop to about $150 once other manufactures offer similar capacity.)
"Works great!" 2008-07-31

Purchased this for my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 camera based on the 25 great reviews before me. (Thanks, reviewers... I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing because the documentation that came with the camera didn't provide any help on how to buy memory!) I thought $38.50 was a great deal. It does the job and allows me to record video clips without feeling like I'm eating up all my memory. (For reference, about a minute and a half of video uses up about 200 shots out of the 2,500+ shots. Though I don't know if the resolution settings, etc. are factored into that estimate).

I bought this mainly for my PSP. 16 gigabytes is very sufficient to store tons of movies and games and the best thing is there aren't any glitches at all. :D
"16 Gigs of Satisfaction" 2008-07-16
By Marlon Clark
I bought the Sony 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo for my PSP and I feel like I almost have too much space for pictures, game saves, music, and movies. Because of the 16GB of storage space, my PSP now rivals my iPod Nano plus I can fit a hand-full of full length films on it. More storage space is definitely a good thing; I am very happy with my purchase.
