Can I Sell a PSP Memory Stick with PSN Games on It? Absolutely Not.

Absolutely not. It is illegal, violates Sony's Terms of Service, and exposes your personal data.

Why You Cannot Sell This

  • Digital Licenses Are Non-Transferable: PSN purchases are tied to your account, not the memory stick. The games are encrypted to your Account ID. The buyer cannot play them on their account.
  • Account Data Remains: The Memory Stick contains your account token, login credentials, purchase history, and potentially saved passwords/credit card tokens. Formatting via the PSP may not securely wipe this.
  • Account Ban Risk: Sony monitors for account sharing/selling. Your PSN account will be permanently banned if detected.
  • Copyright Infringement: Distributing licensed digital content without authorization is piracy.

What the Buyer Actually Gets

A used Memory Stick Pro Duo with zero playable games (they're locked to your account) and your private data. You'd be scamming them and compromising yourself.

What to Do Instead

  1. Back up saves you want (to PC via USB/Content Manager).
  2. Format the Memory Stick on the PSP: Settings → System Settings → Format Memory Stick. This wipes game data for that PSP.
  3. Deactivate the PSP from your Account: Account Management → Media & Devices → Deactivate.
  4. Sell the blank Memory Stick as storage media (~$5–$15 depending on size: 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB).
  5. Sell the PSP separately (deactivated).

Never sell digital game "bundles" on memory cards/hard drives. It doesn't work, it's illegal, and it's dangerous.
