$199 price tag is the same asking price for a 2 gig mem stick for the PSP.
Double the memory for the same cost, so I do believe that is a steal.

It also doubles the size of the PSP. Anti theft protection too. It's a steal that won't get stolen! @_@ @_@
...sorry, that was bad, but you get the point. The thing looks ridiculous. :/

I still think it's quite expensive, and I don't need 4gb anyway.

Read about this 1 week ago and it looks cool. But I do belive that Sony will come with a new model of PSP with build-in HDD.

What do you mean with 400 megs more? 400 megs more of 2.2gb is 2.6gb, the hdd from Datel is 4gb :)

I'm half alseep, but this is what I kinda wanted to say...
If they bring out a new portable version of FFVI on the PSP harddrive, I am SO dead. LOL

Lik Sang successfully put all sizes of Compactflash and Microdrive smaller than 4GB into the unit. THe PSPs maximum recognized memory size is 4GB. However, a 6GB Microdrive, when inserted, will show up via PC and USB, but will be unrecognizeable by the PSP.
The hard drive is MUCH slower than a memory stick.
BTW, I have seen 2GB Pro Duo memory sticks sell for $147.

I was going to say the same thing.
Also Not to long ago a 2 gig Mem stick was almost 400USD so even with the Large Delays in memory transfers (Which won't seem like long anyways) It's very worth it. Though I could do without the X2 Battery in that package.
Heres the lowdown
Transferring Movies to the PSP
In this test we have transferred a movie file with about 150 MB from the PC to the PSP's Memory Stick slot.
• Transferring to Memory Stick using Media Manager: 44 Seconds.
• Transferring to 4GB Hard Drive using Media Manager: 90 Seconds.
• Transferring to Memory Stick using Windows: 35 Seconds.
• Transferring to 4GB Hard Drive using Windows: 75 Seconds.
Loading Times
Here is an overview of how loading files from the three different solutions compares. Please note that in this test we measured the time from pressing start in the PSP menu, until the file was fully loaded and could be played back. The times will of course vary depending on the file size.
• Loading from Memory Stick: 1 Second.
• Loading from 4GB Hard Drive: 8 Seconds.
• Loading from UMD: 27 Seconds.
Battery Life on Movie Playback
To answer the question if a Microdrive consumes more power than a normal Memory Stick, we have put a couple of PSP's into test and waited until they shut down before running out of power.
• Playing movie with Standard Battery and SanDisk 1G Memory Stick: 4.45 Hours.
• Playing movie with Datel X2 Battery and Datel 4GB Hard Drive: 5.45 Hours.
