PSP™ General Discussion

Hi, wondered if anyone could help with a really annoying problem.

I downloaded Final Fantasy 8 yesterday on my PS3. I actually wanted to play it on my PSP, so I tried transferring it via the USB cable to my PSP, but every time it gets to about 75% and then fails. I've tried 4 or 5 times now. Ok I thought, I'll download it directly to the PSP. Same problem. It gets to about 75-80% and fails.

I have got a 2GB memory stick in my PSP, which when formatted actually equals about 1987MB. Final Fantasy 8 is just over 1800MB. So even though there wouldn't be much room left on my stick after the game is transferred, there IS enough room for it.

I could play the game on my PS3, but that would be completely pointless, I own the original game discs. The reason I bought it again was to play on my PSP in bed, at work, whatever.

So, anyone got any ideas?At the moment it seems like I've wasted the best part of a tenner.

Thanks.

You'll possibly need a bigger memory card.

A 2GB card only really gives you about 1800MB of space (it just gets rounded up)

Also, Is there anything else on the memory card?

[Alex79uk]

No, nothing else on the memory card. It's freshly formatted. Ah, looks like I might have to fork out for a new card then!

Cheers for the reply.

If you're getting a new memory card I'd advise you get an 8GB card at least then you've got plenty of room if you want to download more games. Below I've added some link to good deals.

Agreed, the bigger the memory card, the better. I had a 4GB in my old psp, but recently upgraded to a psp go, no need to worry about the space now
