What size memory card

Getting a PSP 300 for Xmas from the missus.

Looking to buy a memory card. Stumped as to what size to buy though. If I want to save a few games (Superstardust PSP and Space Invaders off PS Store for eg), some progress on umd games and maybe a film or tv shows on it what size would I need?

What can a 4gb card actually store roughly speaking? Is it worth paying the extra and getting a 8gb card.

Also, I see that San Disk make a game specific card here: SanDisk Memory Stick PRO Duo Playstation Portable (Sony PSP) Gaming Memory - 4GB | ONLY £15.99 VAT FREE! @ PicStop UK

or a "high speed" one here: SanDisk Ultra II Memory Stick PRO Duo 15MB/sec - 4GB | ONLY £17.99 VAT FREE! @ PicStop UK

Is the high speed card worth the extra money????

Thanks in advance. Technophobe grateful for help!!!

Not that fussed on price and where's cheapest. Most ebay ones appear to be fake anyway.

Was after info on how much data, films, game saves etc a 4gb card can handle roughly speaking before deciding what to go for.

Re: What size memory card

4Gb will be plenty for the game downloads and saved data as well as a few tv shows or movies. Obviously the 8Gb will allow more content. Allow 350-450 per full length movie if converted correctly for the PSP screen. Don't forget she may want to dump some photos or music on it too.
