How to Use a Sony Duo Pro Memory Stick

Sony's "Duo Pro Memory Stick" is the name of the memory card used by the PlayStation Portable handheld system. The handheld doesn't have any memory of its own to save game data; you will need to purchase it separately from the system itself. The memory cards come in various sizes so choose accordingly. There are third-party versions as well, and they will work, however, they're not supported by Sony in any way.
