Mad Catz Announces Licensed Memory Card for PlayStation 2

Mad Catz, a manufacturer of video game accessories, announced that it will be producing its 8-megabyte memory card for the PlayStation2 computer system. The Sony license allows Mad Catz to manufacture and sell a licensed memory card throughout Europe and in the PAL territories, including Australia, New Zealand, the Russian Federation, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and numerous other countries.

The PlayStation requires that any compatible card use what's called "MagicGate" Encryption Technology", and the Mad Catz 8 MB memory card marks the first officially licensed memory card for any PlayStation system. The new 8 MB memory cards will have a data transfer rate of up to 250 times faster than the current memory cards for the PlayStation. Mad Catz says the new memory cards will be blue in color, and will contain several exclusive features.

Memory cards are expected to account for around one-third of all accessories sold for the PlayStation2.
