Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This product works just as fine a the official memory cards that Sony produces. Though many people complain about an issue where slimline PS2 consoles do not read the card for formatting on the browser, there is an easy solution to this. What has to be done is, upon opening the package for your card, you must NOT plug it in to your PS2 (to avoid corruption). First, boot your PS2 with your chosen copy of a Playstation 1 disc and wait for the console to load. Once the game boots, you can insert your memory card into the console and save whenever you are prompted to do so. The game will ask you to format the card before saving and will be read by the PS2 browser after formatting with this method. Sony purposefully made the PS2 consoles to not work with unformatted cards that were not made by their companies, rendering 3rd party card like these useless. But that's why I am here to help those get the best out of this product. If the memory card was formatted before trying to use it with the PS2 browser, (such as used in the method above) the console reads it as it would an official Sony card. So format in game BEFORE using it in the PS2 browser! And for those looking for alternate methods of formatting before using with your PS2, if you happen to have an old PS1 console lying around, use it to format the card and save a game before switching off to use on the PS2 console. It should read on the browser just fine. You now have a fully compatible PS1 Memory Card!! (Sweet!) As for the physical properties of the card: -The shape allows it to be stored safely in PS2 game cases using the Memory Card Holder within the box -The card isn't one of those funky shaped clones with odd clear colors and matches the original PSone -The plastic may not feel as solid as the official cards, but much more durable than most 3rd party cards. -Slides into memory card slots with ease. (Most 3rd party cards feel sticky upon insertion/removal) Overall, I give this card a 5 star rating for it has yet to fail me in any real way which would not be my own fault, and I really enjoyed the quality it had to offer, as it surpassed my original expectations by a long-shot. My childhood gaming soul has been revived yet again. Thank you Hyperkin! -Miguel S. P.S.
