 It's a memory Card.... but Beware of Fakes! January 7, 2008
Matthew Learn (Maryland, USA)

So I ordered the 8GB memory card from a retailer on Amazon. It came in, and everything looked as it should. Then as I started to use it in my Video camera, I was getting error messages and data corruption issues. I did some searching around on the internet and I found that the error is usually do to counterfeit memory cards. So I looked on the page and they gave a great list of things to look for. Biggest giveaway that mine was not really from Sony:
* There was no product information paper on the inside in several languages
* The UPC had MSX-M8GST/X, the valid UPC does not have the "T/X" at the end, and the actual number under the UPC was for a 1GB memory card.
* Obviously the bad performance of the card.
I talked with Amazon, and got the seller to refund my money and I ordered it directly from Amazon. When I looked at the two packages side by side, there was an obvious difference. On the card, the print was very faded (and incorrect) versus the legit card.
So the card itself is great, but buyer beware of the fakes. Here is a good article that talks about spotting fakes: [...]

works 100% for a psp October 25, 2007

if you are buying this for a psp, then YES IT WORKS! It is awesome! People are saying that its slow loading movies, but I've had no problems. I had more wait time loading movies on my 4gb then on the 8. Have no doubt this is the real deal, an 8gb for the psp. movies/pictures/songs can hold it all!!
Awesome reliability and speed March 12, 2008

I have two of these 8GB babies and use one in my PSP Slim and the other in my Sony VAIO UX280P micro PC. On the PSP I loaded 5GB with movies and TV as well as my favorite MP3s, and leave over 2GB for game saves. The speed of the memory stick on both devices (the PSP and the UX280P) is quite good. (Sony also sells "high-speed" cards with red markings, which are about 50% faster but also 50% more expensive.) I don't know if this 8GB memory stick is ReadyBoost-capable on Vista; I have a 4GB version which supports ReadyBoost in my Sony FE-series laptop at work.
I own quite a number of Sony memory stick media and they've always been reliable. I've dropped them, stepped on them (actually my son did that more often), and they still work.
Big and Small July 16, 2007

With something as big and small as this is at the same time, you really can't go wrong. It meets any needs I have, including running inside of my Sony HDR-CX7 camcorder, which does require at least a certain speed for reading/writing data to the memory stick.
EDIT: As of July 20th, 2007, Amazon has the lowest price available...took them a bit to catch up, but wanted to update my review to indicate that I would definitely order this product from them and to reiterate my approval of the item.
Great Memory for the PSP December 8, 2007

The 8GB is currently the largest memory stick for the Memory Stick PRO Duo. More than enough space for your games, music, movies and pics. This is a must have for anyone who wants to get more out of their camera or PSP. The price is a bit steep, but I'm sure the price will go down in a year or so. The cheapest I've bought this for was $122.00 new, as of Nov07.
