Customer Reviews: Its not plug-and-play... June 29, 2010 Stephen Williams (NAVARRE, OHIO, US) What is plug-and-play anymore? The card does in-fact hold 128mb of data, however to use the card i first have to Turn on my ps2 with the card out. Then i put the card in and check to see if the ps2 recognized the card. Then i have to hit the reset button, and yes im using mcboot ;). Id it wasnt for the non-recognition without an extra step this product would receive 5 Stars.
Requires reinsertion to identify June 2, 2010 Michael D. Anderson (Dinuba, CA USA) While I have never had trouble with PS1 memory cards in my PS1, I only bought the 128 Sony product for my new PS2. Apparently, however, every time I play a game, it says there is no memory card inserted until I reinsert it with the game on and at the point where it asks to continue or not without a card. When I say 'no' after reinserting it, it recognizes it. This is a frustrating process, having to repeatedly remove and reinsert and not acceptable for either the price or the brand name. I'm a fan of Sony products but not this one.
WARNING: NOT A SONY PRODUCT! May 11, 2010 Zarel (San Jose, CA USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Be warned... the information page indicates that this is a Sony item, but not only is it a third-party item, but nowhere on the packaging does it indicate just who made it! (Stupid me for not carefully reading the reviews beforehand...)
By putting the package model number (HC2-10080) into a Google search, I found that nobody else seems to know the manufacturer either!
Plus, there are multiple reports of the memory being slow and unreliable. I might just have to return this... $20 for a knockoff, and a probable junk one at that? Hmm...
Amazon, change your manufacturer line... the Sony name doesn't belong there!

This cart is great if you have a ps2 and want to store all of your games in one place, however if you have a 60Gig ps3 it won't work with it.
A+ card, if it doesn't work for you read this April 28, 2010 Jon Dragics (Huntington Beach) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you insert the card in your PS2 and it doesn't work, untighten the screws on the back of the card a bit. (there are 2). you will need a precision philips screwdriver.
Put the card into your PS2 and boom, it works! Someone else suggested this and it worked like a charm. Seems like they are tightened too much at the factory and in some way, it interrupts the memory on the card.
This card is great, holds a ton of memory, the most you'll need really. Haven't had a problem with it since. Fairly sturdy for what it is.
