Sony Playstation 2 Memory Card (8MB)

If you want to get anywhere with your PlayStation 2 games, you will need to purchase a storage device, enter the Official PlayStation 2 8MB memory card!

Written on the unit in PlayStation 2 blue, this is in the style of the original PlayStation 2 console, not the slim PStwo, is the ...  Read the complete review

Playstation 2: The memory card. How’s that for a dramatic opening? Well if you weren’t impressed, try imagining an advert that has nothing to do with a Playstation 2, a screeching voice ‘Playstation 2’ and then the traditional deep voiced cinema person saying ‘Playstation 2: The memory card’. Still hasn’t worked? Why would it? What is so special about a memory card anyway, and why would it need such a grand opening? Well, nearly everything about the Playstation 2 has been over-hyped, literally almost to the death – some games are just so poor! And with exception to the fairly good DVD player, which has received ...  Read the complete review

The Playstation 2 Memory Card is an idea carried over from the Playstation One, and is concept invented by Sony as a convenient and manoeuvrable way of storing game saves, although critics rightly point out that there probably was the technology at the time in order to make a internal memory unit, such as the one featured on the Xbox, however Sony opted for the expensive, portable option instead as a way of keeping a steady income stream from their Playstation 2 console.

So, with the PS2's launch I managed to buy a memory card, as you do - but then because my PS2 was faulty I never really got to use the memory card that much, but hey, you do need it - it's an essential peripheral/accessory and despite it being around £28 it does offer very good value indeed.

You'll probably never need to buy another, as the space on this should ...  Read the complete review

The Sony 8mb memory card. If you have a PS2 you NEED TO HAVE ONE its that simple. NO marketing gimmicks but if you've spent £300 to get the console then I'm sorry you will ALSO have to spend £28 on a memory card. Its suppose to be 250x faster then the normal psx ones. And its very fast th ough don't know about 250x but its very fast in saving and loading. You may think £28 is quite a bit of money but then you paid £20 for "1mb" on the psx. So now it seems a bit less:) the 8mb is a good amount of storage. You can hold a lot of game data in there. YOU NEED this to simple save all YOUR HARD earnt game data. ...  Read the complete review
