If they won 360 memory prices would drop like a rock.

No, they wouldn't

True. Third-party PS1 memory cards were dirt cheap or they offered a lot more bang for your buck but yet Sony still overcharged for their official 1 MB 15 block memory card. $20. I have a third-party PS1 memory card that has 8 Megabytes, 120 memory card blocks and cost me the same price as an official Sony one. Yes back in those days, 8MB for $20 was considered cheap for a memory card. lol. The younguns want to complain about M$ accessory pricing but let me tell you, accessory pricing back then was more ridiculous. Yes game saves are bigger these days but a $40 512 MB 360 memory unit (I think M$ was charging the same for less memory earlier on in the gen though) will still take you much further than two 1 MB PS1 memory cards ($40 value). A season in a sports game took up like a third of the Sony PS1 memory card. That`s like paying $6.67 to save a season. Ridiculous. It wasn`t so bad for jrpgs since they only took up one block per save but seeing that I loved sports games as well, a third-party memory card was a must.
