I know the information for this in the forums but a search still leaves me with questions so i am endeavouring to put all the information in one place; for my sake and others. Hope you can help

1. Magicgate. Can it be used? (cheaper)
2. Have noticed different sizes. 1 about the size of a stamp (boxed 16mb version) and another about double that size. Whats the difference and can they both be used?
3. 3rd party, non-sony versions? i.e. Lexar and Kodak(?) are these compatible?
4. Since the magicgate is cheaper than the non version and 3rd party ones are cheaper still who's bought the cheapest?

wow !! u are really confused... are you talking about Memory Stick or memory Stick DUO ?
there's only 1 size and yes the magicgate can be used.
I dont think there are any other third party sticks but i have seen some third party for the memory stick not the DUO version

yeah you are totally confused and here is info to clear it up...

MS Duo is one size and is about 1/3 size of a regular MS.
DUO comes in magic gate i have a 128mb and it works fine
DUO also comes in regular "purple" MS as the 16mb thats included
there is talk about a 256 mb DUO but nothing out yet.
if you buy the expansion sleeve you can put a full size MS in p800
yes, magic gate will work here also

clear?

also, there are no 3rd party ones yet, at least not where i am
128mb DUO is $80 at expansys, circuit city, frys, sonystyle
