PSPkiller Wrote:The fact that the psp has no in-built memory was always a killer for me. When the PSP was first released i was unsure about getting one because of the price of memory. In fact, even today, Sony's Memory Stick format is overpriced. £60 for a 16Gb card wheras an equivalent SD card would cost roughly £20.

True, but it's expandable, whilst internal memory is stuck at whatever you get it at.
By the way, 8GB is more price efficient here (you could always bring along 2 cards...)

Think about it this way: pay for the PSP and smaller memory card.  In about 2 years perhaps, upgrade the memory card - it'd be cheaper than buying a whole new device with the same amount of internal memory.
I can get an 8GB Sandisk stick for AU$61 here, whilst the cheapest 8GB MP4 player I can find (which is probably poo poo) is like over AU$100 (a more reasonable one is probably closer to AU$200).
Plus the fact that the PSP can play games etc is just some extra pluses.
But the PSP isn't the best thing for music - I'll say that.

Haven't seen any good SD/SDHC based MP3 players here (though I haven't really looked), so wouldn't know the prices of them though.
