Today SanDisk introduced their new 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo game card for the PSP, providing much more room for hours of video, music, images, gaming content and even movies. How much content does this permit? Try something in the range of 64 hours of music in MP3 format (that's over two and a half DAYS, people!), 20 or more hours of video, such as movies, videos or film trailers, or 4000 (3 mega-pixel) still images.

"The PSP has clearly become more than just a gaming device," said Wes Brewer, SanDisk's vice president of consumer products marketing. "Since there is no internal memory for the PSP, a Memory Stick PRO Duo flash card is the only way to store large amounts of entertainment and other files. Now that the PSP has been in the marketplace for over a year, many new services have sprung up to offer downloadable content such as movies, so the users are rapidly demanding higher capacity cards."

For those of you who are wary of purchasing "third party" components for your consoles, you may be interested to know that SanDisk actually co-developed the Memory Stick PRO format with Sony. Also, SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology.

The 4GB card is expected to ship later in May at a suggested retail price of $219.99 USD.
