I have a lot of movies and stuff I want to play. Should I get an 8gb memory stick, and then just transfer more stuff on through my laptop whenever I need to? How do you guys manage all of your data?

I just use a 1G as I got it when I got the pack when I first got my psp. If you really take your psp on the go, go with a 8G if you like movies and such, as my 1G only takes around 2-30min episodes at a time with all my other stuff. Movies take up alot of space. I store all my stuff on my computer duh lol, and put it on and off if I don't have the room. You should never need more then 1 memory stick.

Just go for two 4 GBs, or 1 GB, or four 2 GBs. IF you want alot of space. Back up the files on your PC, or another Memory Stick

The 4 gb sandisk memory stick that I have is alright. I could use a bit more storage though...

good news is that the 4 gb works with pandora, ignore this if you don't know what I'm talking about :)

You just need 1 memory stick. Get the size that you're most comfortable with (price/size). All my stuff is stored on my laptop and I copy new stuff to the stick when I'm bored with what's on it. I've got other sticks because I upgraded from 512MB to 2GB. I find that I just can't be bothered to carry the other sticks around.

If you will use it for videos alot 4GB is definatley the way to go, i can fit about 6 30 minute episodes and 2 1 hour episodes with some music and demos, with 400MB left.

If you really want LOADS of video, I'd reccomend an 8GB.

I believe 2 Four GB mem sticks would be a better choice than 1 Eight GB,seeing that the 8 GBs transfer data more slowly than the 4GBs.

I use the 1gb since I can't encode videos for my PSP because my computer sucks. If my pc weren't a piece of crap, I'd use a 4gb.
