I have called asking for a 512mb memory card at Gamestop every other day for about two weeks. Each time they ask "For what system" and I always reply "PSP." They then proceed to "look" for it. They come back about two to three minutes later and say, "no I'm sorry we don't have that in stock." And I say "when will you?" and they don't know! Should I pursue my dream of finding a memory stick elswhere?

Erm... well... you could get a 4gb for 30 - 40 dollars off Amazon.

Or you could go to Target or maybe Walmart and get a 2gb for 40 or a 4gb for 60.

I personally love gamestop. Why? Because the owner there PWNS N00BS! I've never seen him lose an argument in anything. Plus, I really want them to succeed cuz I HATE bestbuy cuz all their employees are lazy and target to me seems very cheap idn why. plus the gamestop people tell me cool info and make funny jokes.

go buy it from a different store. they don't seem to be getting it. ask for a different size.

Well duh that's maybe you're a geek yourself, all of the employees in gamestops I have been to seems to be a geek or dork of some sort. IDK where they come from but I hate going into their stores because the employees are so weird, but sometimes I really have to because they sell used games for old systems, w/c I collect.

Whoops! Didn't read that far... sorry.

I bought a 1 Gigabyte stick for my PSP and phone at Costco... I reckon they have 2 gig sticks there now... ro about 30 bucks... but I'd check Wal-Mart in the phone section and maybe some Electronics stores like Staples or Office Depot

Uh, so what's the problem? If they don't have them they don't have them. In fact, they probably usually just carry the 1.0 GB and up as far as new ones go. They might occasionally have used ones.

I never can trust game places (Gamecrazy, Gamestop) because they are not reliable. Yes, wider array of games, but more than a few times have I had to go to a place like Fred Meyer just ot get a game. And the reason why? All of the suckers keep going to Gamecrazy and waiting on their games, I go to Fred Meyer and get them easily.

For instance, I wanted Animal Crossing : Wild World. They said it wasn't in, and they would call me when they got it in. Even worse, Gamecrazy and Gamestop don't plan their shipments. The guy said, every Thursday, we get shipments, but we don't know whats in them, unless you pay an extra $7-$10 to special order it. So I went to Fred Meyer. They had 10 copies. Two months later Gamecrazy called me saying, your game is in!

The 512 Memory Stick will fill up so fast that it'll be a waste of money to buy that when you can get like a 4GB or 8GB card for cheap too elsewhere. You shouldn't rely on Gamestop/EB Games for things like that, instead go to the superstores that sell specific things like that such as Futureshop, Bestbuy and whatnot.

yeah get a 1gb i have seen them for about 20 bucks actually today i went to circuit city and i think i even saw one for 15 so just shop around but about gamestop i have 2 by my house and one i stay away from the other one which is farther but i work by it so no worries i actually like going there the guys that work at the first one are yes very weird and geeky but the one by my job has some cool guys working there even a girl does to but she seems to never be there lol and they are not geeky so i guess its different for everyone but i buy a circuitcity or bestbuy when i look for games cuz i dont like the fact that gamestop puts the game in a drawer and then tries to sell it like it is new so.. i only buy used games there.

Frys is in the south also, got plenty of em down here in Texas. But yeah you should stop fooling with Gamestop and Ebgames they are becoming big scam artist I was talking to a relative while we were in the store about how Gamestop only gives you like 5% (or something like that) of a trade in and one of the employees felt it was his duty to become a soldier for Gamestop and totally fliped out.
