I am not the first ( and probably not the last) to say this but this is expensive. Sony sells 8Mb memory sticks for a fraction of the price( infact you can get 32Mb memory sticks for the same price and they must be harder to make because their smaller about 1/6 the size) what sony should have done is what they do for every other computer device they make and put a memory stick slot(of course they need the memory card slot for the backwards compatablility and all but make new memory cards and try and sell them for that much that's a ...!!! and anybody with a PS2 has to put up with it, or not save their game.
