From what I heard, third party cards almost always suck.
[quote name='Gator']I just received a PS2 for my birthday and am in the market for a memory card.
Is it mandatory to get a Sony brand memory card? or can I just buy a third party brand?
I ask because I remember back in the N64 days ... none of the 3rd party memory cards lasted more than a year for me.[/QUOTE]
