How many full PS2 gamesaves does a 64mb memory card hold? I play a lot of PS2 so should I buy two or will one do?

Depends on the games, some use way more space than others.

64mb should be plenty, but i'd be weary about using those oversized 3rd party cards. They have a tendency to die on you.

Personally, I'd just stick with an official 8mb card and delete old saves as I need to. If you're really adamant about keeping those old saves, you could always invest in a Ps2 HDD and periodically back up your save data to that.

It's a OEM memory card... at least that's what it says. Is it just me or is something a bit off?

It looks official, it just seems off because it's for the Japanese market.

Does Steam give you free games? I swear my game library has extra games I didn't buy. Some got something that says "early access -1d" and others has nothing, its just in my library.

Maybe, but I have seen many people here get excited over titles then get disappointed where I knew all along it would be crap.

I went to Target - $60. Didn't want to pay that much.

Went to Target's website. $45. Paid with a credit card and chose in-store pickup. Got an email half an hour later saying it was ready.

When I picked it up at the service desk I asked if it had simply been pulled off the shelf. The answer was yes. So yeah, I saved $15 by ordering it online. :shock:

I don't get it, why would they do that . $15 is pretty significant , its 25% off.

I won the Blood Bowl in Mutant League Football with a score of 108-0. I have played this game too many times.

Yeah, looks official to me. I'm surprised though, I thought all OEM ps2 cards were 8mb.

yeah a lot of times on the weekend you'll get a free game. But it's just for the weekend. When it says "1d" that means one day (left) to play it. It's just a nice way to give everyone free access to a game for a couple days to try before you buy. Think of it as a really big demo.

Fake ass crap. Sony only made 8M cards and that SCPH-10020 code is the one for the official 8M. If they had made some other size, it would have a different code.

Don't buy that garbage. At least buy a known brand 8 card, not total knockoff crap.

Thanks, dude. I knew something wasn't right. How many full saves on average does a 8mb hold though?
