Carry four extra memory sticks with UMEMD

by Majed Athab { Mar 27th 2008 at 7:30PM }

We all know that just one memory stick isn't enough for our PSP gaming and multimedia needs. That's exactly why a group called Team Xecuter came up with this UMEMD carrying case that can hold up to four memory stick pro duos.

The case is shaped like a UMD. The reason for this is that it will save pocket space by fitting right inside the PSP where the usual UMD game would go. Only drawback is that the case is only good for PSP-1000s. Also, it is obviously not as useful if you're planning to play a UMD-based game. It is, however, great for playing PSN downloaded games saved on the memory stick, storing that humongous music library of yours, and/or keeping your entire photo album with you on the go.

So far, no price has been set. Team Xecuter plans on selling these little babies in two weeks time.

those are actually pretty cool

Robobagins @ Mar 27th 2008 8:15PM

Agreed, pretty bad ass.

Using the UMD drive as a storage bin? Seems like a punchline to a joke or something.

Nate @ Mar 27th 2008 8:56PM

It's just a carrying case? Like, as in, multiplying the volume of the 4 memory sticks by 10 or something? Why bother? I guess if you don't have a case for your PSP and just carry it in your pocket.... still, I think it's a bit of a waste.

the POINT is that you can dump it IN the UMD drive... thing in the PSP.

Pretty genius idea IMO.

and HOLY CRAP I thought he had 32GB sticks for a sec.

Nate @ Mar 28th 2008 7:43AM

Sorry, I guess I always have a game in my UMD drive.

I'm not sure putting it in the UMD slot is a good idea. The PSP is a portable system, so if the catches on the memory stick holders aren't well designed and the memory sticks rattle lose inside the UMD slot while in transit, you could be in for some trouble.

I think it's pretty awesome. I made a sleeve that fits in the UMD slot out of a folded business card stapled together with another folded business card around it (so the staples wouldn't contact the inside parts of the PSP) to hold an extra memory stick and it has worked-- having the ability to hold 4 sticks is enough for me to purchase.

Looks like it's made exclusively for the homebrew scene....lol.

lyingit @ Mar 27th 2008 9:31PM

I was gonna say, it seems this is more for those of...

well those people that run custom firmware and don't have an 8GB stick, but instead run with a bunch of 1-4's...

What keeps you from using this in a PSP-2000?

oxology @ Mar 27th 2008 11:22PM

maybe the disc read is different and the drive would grind away at the holder

Sounds perfect for loading up movies on memory sticks when going on a trip, though the travel case I use for my PSP has space for memory sticks already.

Alien @ Mar 28th 2008 5:25AM

Good for movies and music and PSone games .... but lets face it , its even better for pirates :(

SparkyJ23 @ Mar 28th 2008 6:00AM

You are aware that you can put OTHER things than homebrew on a memory stick right?

How much music do you have on your pc? I suppose encoding your own DVDs is probably past your intelligence as well....

There's a reason Sony made the storage hot swappable - use it FFS

Of course, the PSP is absolutely no competitor to the iPod for music playback. So why would I use that over an iPod?

This designers likely had pirates in mind with this product. Hell I've got a modded PSP but I still only need 1 4gb memory stick.
Must be some mad pirates out there who need more!
