I think most of us saw this coming as soon as Sony announced the PSP would be using Memory Stick Duo, but for those of you who didn't, here it is in black and white: SanDisk has announced they'll be targetting portable game systems for in a new line of memory cards.

For now, this line consists of nothing more than neon-colored Memory Stick Duo and SD cards in skeleton casings, but I'm hoping it takes off. Memory Stick Duo is obviously for the PSP, and SecureDigital for the Tapwave Zodiac (which I didn't know). Click the image below for the English press release (because SanDisk is an American company).

On a related note, I got my 512MB SanDisk Memory Stick Duo from newegg.com for like $70 [2]. If you're planning o­n picking up a PSP o­n its release, I suggest you get everything you need beforehand; that way, you won't be tempted to give in to overcharging by major retail chains.
