...You see, this is just another product way over-priced to titillate the main-stream's wants. Why didn't they just realease the PSP for $300, but include a 20GB HDD and a secondary battery? I know they have that technology, but insist on making people pay over and over for products that will lose its edge a couple weeks later.

I'm not buying into the PSP hype until I have a good enough reason to get one, like a $100 drop in price. That's what I did with PS1, PS2 and Game Cube.

In this image it looks like the battery and the hdd are separate. My conclusions are that the hard drive eats battery fast, thus 2x battery is needed.

Darkplanets have now raise the price to £149 bloody hell for a 4Gb HDD thats about the same price has a brand new 2GB from a Retailer. Anyone found any lower price i want to pre-order it now?

I know Lik-sang has it for £141.99 but they will add tax to it. I am willint to import it from the US but some of them do tax if its with DHL amd not looking forward to the DHL shipping Charge just airmail will do.

cool

Got it now. Very comfortable like holding a PS2w controller not too bulky just right.

Got mine today from Darkplanets! Only ordered it the last night, DP rock!

I can't be doing with importing anything, last time I ordered from Liksnag I got stung for import tax and bloody DHL had £12.50 of me. Robbing gits!

I think this HDD is well cool, I'm off to load it up. :D

I hear that you can open it up and replace the CF Microdrive card.

*drool* 200GB *drool*

NOTE: M$ has been trying to unpopularize it. They say that the max you can get is 4GB, but this site tried it with a 32GB it worked.

How can u replace it???

I wouldn't risk it if i had 2 i would. If it wouldn't damage and u can undo the changes then i would do it cos i am always after bigger spaces

i have the regular 1gb n i turn it into 5gb. so i wouldnt buy the 4gb hard drive im fine with my 5gb. n i got me the 3600mh battery already so tht i dont need to worry about battery life

How did you turn your 1GB memory Stick into a 5GB memory stick?

my friends help me in making my 1gb into a 5gb. u have to open up the memory stick n tinker with the wire.

Did they have to add something into the memory stick? Or did they have to just stick the wire into a different part?

switch wires. this sacrifices speed for memory. it takes away a lot of speed when reading off the memory stick.

So will it make the games that you have saved to the memory stick run slower? Or will it just make it go slower when its finding the game on the memory stick?

the game saves a little bit slower, but reading off the memory stick is noticably slow. but not so slow tht it would kill u. i recommend not to do it, becuz ther is a high chance tht u would break it n waste $100.

Do you know where there might be a guide on how to do this?

me i dont know where to find a guide to do this. i dont even where my friend found how to change a 1gb into a 5gb.

If I mail you mine do you think your friend might do it for me to?

im not so sure, i live on guam n he is off island until next year. n i cant do it without him, he is the one the does most of the things.

ok, well thanks anyways!

sure no prob. maybe u might find it over the internet.

Yea maybe I will.

short-circuiting? great idea, but this only makes your PSP THINK it's 5GB.

actually no, i put more files into the memory stick n it went over 1gb. i filled my memory stick with a lot of music n videos, n it went beyond 1gb.

How fare beyond?

well instead of 1gb, i was able to put 1.3gb of file space in it. so pretty much the space does increase if u tinker with it.
