Also you'll notice SD's sell for almost half the price of Memery Stick Pro Duo's.
8gb SD = $100+, while a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo 8gb = $200+.
4gb SD = $30+, while a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo 4gb = $75+.
2gb SD = $20+, while a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo 2gb = $40+.
Also let's see, all of the greatest high tech equipment....Treo, Blackberry, and let me put down all other Cellphones except Sony, Nintendo Wii, PS3, Every single damn Digital Camera on the market by every company which includes Canon and Nikon, except Sony, and probably a lot more junk i could name that supports SD. There are just more protects that support SD cards and they are far cheaper.
Like i said earlier, i love my PSP to death, but i feel like the only downfall it has is not supporting SD cards.
