Sony Launches 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo
Sony Japan has increased the maximum Memory Stick Pro Duo capacity to 8GB with their new 'MSX-M8GS' Memory Stick Pro Duo. The new Memory Stick will be compatible with digital cameras and laptops sold this year. Backward compatibility is not certain. PSPs running firmware ver. 2.81 will be compatible with the new Memory stick. 8GB does put a lot of free space for disposal, as you can load up 19 hours 20 minutes of QVGA video in MPEG-4 format at 768 kbps, 2500 JPEG images and 4100 songs in Atrac format at 64kbps.
Sony will start selling the 'MSX-M8GS' 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo from March 9 in Japan for 38,000 Yen ($ 325).

Don't work the prices will drop, I remember 2GB used to be 180, now 40...and 4GB was 225, now 90...and this was all be for this new 8gb release.
edit...
I am looking at todays Fry's ad, and they are selling the new 8gb for 250...
I buy MS 4Gb cards for around £25 ($48) & they work great even though they are fake.
If Sony want to help prevent fraud they should stop being so greedy & lower their prices. A genuine 4Gb SD card are less than £18 ($35) This is because nobody has the monopoly on the SD format.
Sony Memory Stick Pro Dou cards always cost a lot more than everything else.. maybe double.
I guess that kinda sucks for the PSP market that has only one choice..
