How to Get a Free PSP Memory Card

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a handheld gaming system designed by Sony. Many of Sony's memory cards work in several of its devices. The cards, also known as Memory Sticks, vary by memory capacity. They are available for purchase online, and used cards are sometimes available for $5 and under, depending on the amount of memory in megabytes or gigabytes. However, if you're looking to get extra memory for your device, or pick up a memory card for the first time, it's possible to get one for free.

Instructions

- 1
  If you are purchasing a PSP for the first time, look for retailers that offer a bundled package. Many stores like GameStop or EB Games will offer deals that include game accessories, including a memory card.
- 2
  Try for a trade-in. If you are upgrading your system, or simply have games you no longer play, many game stores will buy these games back from you. Some stores may be willing to negotiate an even exchange for a new memory card instead of a cash or store credit refund.
- 3
  Attend promotional events, gaming conventions and grand openings of game stores. Sony will often give out free memory sticks to encourage the purchase of a PSP or new PSP game. Conventions like E3 have booths set up by different companies vying for the attention of the market; a new memory card may be part of the "swag" at these events.

  Check the Sandisk and Sony websites for coupons. Other online places to check include Gamefly, ToysRUs, Gamestop, FocalPrice and DayDeal. These coupons and rebates sometimes exceed the price of a memory card, which can cost up to $30 new.
