 People don't read instructions!!! Feb 13, 2002
By Jaha
Well I hope this can be useful to someone but I just recently purchased a PS2 and with the lack of memory cards on the market I became easily frustrated just trying to find one regardless of the company. All the stores pointed me to the internet so I looked and I saw all the negative reviews on the Interact 16 MB card and I imidiately grew wary about purchasing it. But after countless hours searching online and in stores for a memory card I broke down and figured I would at least try the product and hope for the best since I couldn't save my games anyway. Well I brought it home and being apprehensive I tried it out and it works fine. All my games are saved and I have not had a problem. Everyone keeps saying that it doesn't work. Well it states very clearly in the directions that you must load the software prior to loading a game. This is quite simple. Insert the disk and let it start up. Once the menu has loaded (about 30 seconds to a minute) take the disk back out and put in your game. Then press start and follow the directions. Once that is done it works just like every other memory card and the compression function is a plus as well. Also for those saying the card does not work on their system it states very clearly that the card ONLY works on US systems. So if you follow the directions you should not have a problem unless you have a non-US system. The only reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can get rather monotonous having to load the disk everytime you start the system up but since Sony has been slacking on their production I will deal and it is Sony's loss of business. Well I hope this was useful for you and if you really need a memory card and have a US system just read the simple directions and this card will work fine.

 16 MB Garbage Card....... Dec 07, 2001
Sounds good... double the memory for about ($$$) less than Sony's 8MB card... tell ya what, go ahead and spend the extra (...) bucks. It is more than worth it to AVOID THIS PRODUCT AT ALL COSTS!My PS2 would not recognize that it was plugged in no matter what. Not only that, you are required to run a software cd EVERY TIME you want to play a different game? The packaging does not inform you if this important piece of information. Again, it is in your best interest to simply purchase a Sony memory card. This InterAct card is one of those "too good to be true" products that does not live up to its billing.

Why is it still on store shelves? Dec 03, 2001
By Grace Pagador
If this product was supposed to be recalled already, why do they still have it on store shelves? First of all, it is decieving. It has another software disc in it, you have to load it EVERY SINGLE TIME before you play. It says nothing about it, only on the back, and at first you think 'cool, a bonus!'. I bought this today, tried it at home, then read reviews on it. I too wish there were negative numbers on the rating system. I saw cases were it actually destroyed a console so he had to buy a whole new one, and everyone should know how much a PS2 costs. Thankfully I only tried it once and mine still works. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!

A crock of [] Dec 16, 2001
This item should not even be rated a one star it should have never been able to be released. First you have to load software everytime before you get to play. Plus in isn't liecensed by Sony so I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone. If you were to screw up your PS2 your just *&cked. Maybe it is 16 MB but I would go with the 8 MB Sony card. It is quicker to get to your games, not to mention more convinent.

DO NOT BUY Jan 14, 2002
By Jack of All Trades
First of all, everytime you start up your console you have to "install" the memory card by putting in a CD and then starting the game from that cd. Second, it doesn't work with all games. I bought 5 games and it only worked successfully with one and to get it to work you have to first put in the memory cd then hit start then put in the game cd then hit some more buttons, then CROSS your fingers and hope it works. DO NOT BUY...
