The eight-megabit card has an easy-to-use menu system that will enable you to keep track of that all-important data. The Mega Memory Card is scheduled for an October release in the US and will cost $19.95 (about £13).

Square are yet to confirm this rumour - heck, they haven't even confirmed Final Fantasy IX on the PlayStation yet!

Come to think of it, how many staff have they got?
