If you’re in need of extra gigs for your PSP, but looking to save a pretty penny or two, perhaps you’ll want to hear about this adapter. The PhotoFast CR-3500 microSDHC to Pro Duo adapter will allow microSDs and microSDHCs (high capacity) to work with both PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models. The adapter supports microSDHCs up to eight gigs large.

Now how is this going to save you a few bucks? Well, for the exact same amount of storage capacity, microSDHCs offer a cheaper solution to Pro Duos — even if you factor in the price of the adapter. But hang on right there. There’s no price yet on the adapter. However, a little rummaging finds the adapter listed on Amazon Japan for ￥990. That’s roughly US$9.70. If that estimate holds true for North American consumers, then there’s a lot of savings to be had.
