A Look at PSP 3000 Memory Cards

When shopping for PSP 3000 memory cards you will need to buy a Memory Stick Duo. The maximum size supported is 16 gigabytes. File sizes for video playback and games are limited to 4 gigabytes. Taken into account that game downloads are huge files, you may want to consider getting the most bang for your buck. A very large capacity memory stick will be expensive so you might opt for a less gigabyte memory card and purchase additional memory cards if desired in the future. The new PSP games are rather large files, but the PlayStation store does offer games that are less than 100 megabytes. A smaller memory card can still hold several games.

It is important to take care of the your Memory Stick Duo. Do not touch the connector with your hands or metal. When writing on the memo area of the memory card, pressing too hard can cause damage. Memory sticks should never be exposed to direct sunlight or left in a car. The heat can wreak havoc on the memory stick. Keep the memory stick away from humid areas as well.

When using the Memory Stick Duo in your PSP, do not remove when data is being written to the card. When the memory card is in use, the access indicator light will be lit. When this light is no longer lit, it is safe to remove the memory card.
