Great storage device for PS2!
8 times the amount of storage than a standard Play Station 2 memory card. What could be greater?

Good while it lasted...
Well, I got this memory card to go with my PS2 slim about 3 years ago. It gets 2 stars for having lasted so long. When I bought this I didn't know about all these negative reviews here, so when I tried to load my game save today and it said "corrupted data", it came as a bit of a shock. "Corrupted data? But I was just playing this yesterday and it worked fine", I thought to myself. Then, a second game save became corrupted. So then I went to Amazon to see if others had experienced this problem, and, lo and behold, they had. Personally, I consider myself lucky that mine lasted so long at all. Still, the knowledge that any game save that you are working on could suddenly corrupt at any time for no apparent reason is unsettling. I can't really recommend this item since there's no guarantee at all that your copy of the memory card would even last as long as mine did. In this case, it seems best to shell out the extra money to get the Sony memory card instead.

Max Memory Card can ruin your PS
I bought a couple of these for my kids to save space and $ from having to buy multiple 8MGB cards. What a mistake! If seems the card and included CD adds software code that overwrites and modifies the software for the console can damage your machine. Eventually our machine would not work at all so we had to send it back to Sony. They informed us that the problem was indeed the way the Max Card Software changed the machine, which had caused it to lock up. They strongly recommended we no longer use it as this is rather common according to Sony.

Avoid!!! Do not buy or use this as it can ruin your machine. It WILL modify the code which can cause the console to lock up and no longer function.

worst card EVER!!!!!
This card didn't let me put ANY MEMORY AT ALL on it!!!
When i go into the card sellecter that card said "0 MB avalable".
The card is worthless.

Don't use this with Kingdom Hearts 2!
Overall, this is a good memory card. It just randomly doesn't work at the most unfortuante times. My two biggest complaints were:
1. When I tried to save Kingdom Hearts 2 (which takes 90kb) it said that I had "insufficient memory space" even though I had well over 10000kb.
2. I had a huge town on Sims 2 Pets, I had been playing for well over a month and had a full town, when I tried to save and it just said corrupted data. I reset the game and looked at the memory card. Instead of the Sims 2 Pets icon it just had a little block. So I had to erase all my Sims 2 Pets data and start ALL OVER AGAIN!
In conclusion, this is a great memory card... IF you are willing to risk losing all your data.
