1 Very Fast
This stick is fantastic for high resolution photos and is lightning quick. Do you need the extra speed the MSX-M1GN gives you? Maybe, maybe not. But at least you have it when and if you need the feature. Highly recommend it for the money.
2 Fast, reliable
Sony makes two 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. The one on this page is MSX-M1GN and it's labeled "High Speed," meaning it reads and writes using parallel connectors. The Sony PSP, among other Sony gadgets, supports this high-speed access technology, so you can use this card in the PSP.
But you don't really need the extra high speed. Instead, you can save money by buying the other Sony 1GB card, model MSX-M1GS (notice difference in the last letter), which is a "non-high speed" 1GB Memory Stick Duo. Both cards support MagicGate, Sony's digital rights management technology. (Sony's Connect online music store requires a MagicGate-compatible storage card.)
Let me emphasize my previous point: you don't need the "high speed" Memory Stick Duo, the regular Memory Stick Duo is fast enough for games, movies and music on the PSP. Paying extra for this "high speed" version (~$40 over the "S" version) if you only use it in the PSP is a waste of money since the PSP doesn't really take advantage of the parallel access technology -- i.e., it plays cool with the technology, but doesn't employ it. On the other hand, if you have one of Sony's latest digital cameras that support high-speed continue shooting, you may want to get this.
This is a fast, reliable flash memory card that will likely last a long time. I've never had any problems with Sony's flash storage cards.
3 Good But Not Great
You can find a better deal with a 1.0GB Memory Stick Duo with either SanDisk or Lexar. Sony's memory sticks are very expensive against the competitors but they work best with the Sony products. I bought this for my Sony PlayStation Portable so I could store music, games, pictures, and music. One thing I learned is that you shouldn't get a high-capacity memory stick! One thing is that if you want to watch movies you have to convert your files to MPEG-4 which is so much more work! Another thing is with your CD's and stuff like that you have to convert them only to MP3 and ATRAC3 format. For pictures it has to be JPEG only which is another hassle. I have a card reader on my computer and guess what...it doesn't support Memory Stick Duo! It only supports MS and MS PRO. I've heard you have to buy a Sony computer to have a card reader with Memory Stick Duo capability. I am very disappointed with Sony with their new UMD and Memory Stick Duo. They should have added 1.0GB internal built-in memory so you can start downloading all those things instantly. The PSP should have also included a Mini-B USB Connector too because it's so cheap! I wouldn't recommend getting this amount of memory but if you store a lot of things and you have the patience to convert (you might need software for some of them) then this is a good thing for you.
