Is a playstation 3 memory stick really required?

At Amazon they are selling a 8 GB stick for $ 95.00 plus s/h.
A steep price, (JMO) and I'm playing without one right now.

Yes it's a memory stick, it's in the instruction manual, page 17. (See link that I posted).
I have the 80 GB hard drive already.......

Supposely you can also plug-in a SD memory card as well.

Never heard of a memory card for a ps3! But Yes you can use a sd card or memory stick in the ps3's.

Unless you have some music on it or move your game files to different consoles pretty often there is no real use for it. And for the price you can easily buy a portable HD with tons of more space.

No, the PS3 has a hard drive that's either 20GB, 40GB, 60GB or 80GB (depending on the model you purchased), so there's absolutely no point in purchasing a memory stick.

Unless its a MAGIC STICK

Unless its a MAGIC STICK

or unless you have a PSP. not sure how this works (wirelessly im assuming) but you can play ps1 games on a psp. so im assuming you could also load the games onto that 8mb stick and put them directly into your psp. as well as music and vids and thats basically why youd need a memory stick... psp features/saves.
