Reviews

  • Corsair Flash Voyager 64GB

    With more than enough space, some will be using Corsair's 64GB as a replacement for an external hard drive. Transferring this much data though will leave you wishing for more speed.

  • Corsair Flash Voyager (16GB)

    Corsair's ruggedised stick just got bigger.

  • Xbox 360 Hard Drive (120 GB)

    It's a 120GB hard drive, it comes with software and a cable to sync data between two drives, and it stores multimedia content. Its cost however is slightly prohibitive, making it a little hard to swallow even for hardcore gamers.

    This Xbox 360 Memory Unit (64MB) allows you to save your game scores and gamer profiles.

  • Sony Memory Stick Entertainment Packs

    The first purchase you'll need to make after your PSP and games is a bigger Memory Stick (because you'll soon find that the 32MB included memory just isn't big enough). Sony's releasing the Memory Stick Entertainment Pack to coincide with the PSP launch -- each pack contains a Memory Stick, plus the Image Converter 2 management software (which is what you'll need to transfer your own movies into a PSP-friendly format). The packs come in three sizes -- 512MB, 1GB and 2GB.
