512MB Memory Stick Pro Duo

512MB Memory Stick Pro Duo Review

For any who are confused about the fact that even though it is a 512 MB Memory Stick, but it says that it only has 470 MBish, that's because of the way companies use the term, "megabyte". The company making the stick considers a megabyte to be 1000 kilobytes, which are each 1000 bytes, so a megabyte is 1,000,000 megabytes. Thus, the capacity of the stick is 520,000,000 MBs. However, the PSP, and all other devices, consider 1MB=1024KB=1048576 bytes. So the 520,000,000 byte capacity of the stick is considered by the PSP to be just under 596 MBs. The rest of the space taken up is by stuff needed to make it work, but it's not ALL that, just "formatting". (Yes, the companies rip you off, deal with it)
