indeed. I started downloading wipeout pure extras and quickly realised how fast the 32mb card fills up.

and incidentally, the psp uses two meg on the card before you put anything on it.

so 2mb for system data, the 4 songs, and maybe game saves on top of that? if your songs are usually around 8mb there certainly won't be much space left over - if they averaged 7.5mb or over, they wouldn't actually fit. and your friend either has small video file sizes or a bigger card - either he bought a bigger one or he got the gig pack.

regarding games - the three things that the games use the card for are for storing save games, downloaded content for the game, and the demos that can be transferred between handsets. it had to have some capacity for the save game, as it is the first handheld I know of that has games on a read-only medium.
