Tips & Warnings

• Find out how much memory a game will take up by looking at the back of its cover before you begin play. This will ensure that you won't be caught without enough blocks to save your game.
• A deleted file can't be retrieved, so be absolutely positive you are no longer going to need a file before you delete it.
• Use third-party memory cards at your own risk. They can be unreliable and have a tendency to arbitrarily delete blocks of memory. Try to stick with Sony-brand memory cards.
