Hello, Im gonna get a PSP next week for my B-day but im tryin to save some of the money sooo.... I was wondering how many saves you could fit on the smallest memory stick (the one thats like 512 mega bytes?) since i plan on gettin about 3 games and i was wondering if that would fit. I dont wanna have to switch around memory sticks all the time and i dont really care much about storing music, i have a ipod anyway. Oh yeah, and do some games have downloads? To be specific im gonna get Metal gear and mega man Powered Up and i think mega man has downloads. So should i get the small memory stick or go for the gigabyte?

Oh yeah and if you can reccomend  any accesories to get since the PSP has a big screen and i want a case or atleast a screen protector so any reccomendations would be appreciated :D

Thanks in advance.

This is an accessory you could get to protect your screen. I'm sorry if the picture is bad, but it was taken with my phone.

If by downloads you mean demos, there's a sticky topic at the top of the forum where you can see all the demos available to you. Go ahead and try all the ones that interst you.

I can't really help you with game saves but if you go to your local game store, you can look at the back of the PSP game cases and get a good idea for yourself how much it takes on average.

Recommendations for games are as follows:

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Daxter, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, GTA: Vice City Stories, GTA: Liberty City Stories, Wipeout Pure

Gamesaves vary from around 100kb upto 576kb (popolocrois), but that is an exception. Even a 32mb card would be enough if you only plan to plat games.

Added recommendation to RuouniSaiyajin's list: Puzzle Quest, Tales of Eternia, Lumines, Pirates!

 I think I've seen a save going upward 900kb.

 And if the OP has any remote liking to card games, I strongly suggests Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2.

The most games need between 200KB and 500KB. Some games need a few MB (WWE 2008: 4MB).
