PhotoFast makes memory even cheaper

Memory is like the modern-day equivalent of fast cars, or camels. The more you've got, the higher your status in society. Perhaps a bit extreme but, face it, you wouldn't respect someone with an iPod shuffle like you would the owner of a 32GB iPod touch, would you?

So the news PhotoFast is set to follow up its CR-5300 microSDHC adaptor for PSP with the CR-5400 (which offers precisely four times more memory than it's predecessor) is good news for all of us who care about such things. Or those who, more likely, just want to be able to carry around more videos to watch on their PSP.

The CR-5400 microSDHC adaptor supports dual microSDHC cards up to 32GB (so 2x16GB, or other sized cards up to a maximum of 32GB). The advantage of that being that microSDHC (high capacity) memory cards are cheap as chipboard compared to buying the official Sony Pro Duo Memory Stick (which, to put things in perspective, is around £85 for a 16GB card).

There are plenty of adaptors out there already which make microSD compatible with the PSP's memory slot (as well as other Sony products such as camcorders) but not the high capacity versions. And this is also the first to feature slots for two memory cards.

So it all sounds good, then. The only thing is, the product is so new we still don't know how much it will retail for or when you'll be able to get your hands on it.

What we can tell you is the Sweden-based Rejoy.se is the company with exclusive distribution rights (currently seeking retailers and distributors interested in carrying the product) and this is where you can find their site. So, if you want to get your hands on one, keep checking back there for news.
