Simple answer: Since Memory Sticks are built on propriety technology, only Sony and it's 'good' friends can manufacture Memory Sticks.
Long answer: Sony is known to be very tight lipped when it comes to their own exclusive standards on flash memory. Since the license to manufacture Memory Stick is quite expensive, the manufacturers are forced into marking up the prices of the Memory Stick where as MMC Cards manufacturers do not need to pay for licenses to manufacture MMC Cards (which are compatible with SD slots/host adapters.)
Whenever you buy a portable device, always check on the prices of the memory cards before you buy.

How can you fix a pro stick duo when is corrupted?
the best way to make work again is to format the memory stick (click right on it in windows and choose "format", for the exact settings you'd better check the manual) but you'll lose all the data stored on the memory stick. If you want to recover your data try a program like this onehttp://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/System_Maintenance_and_Repair_Utilities/Memory_Stick_Data_Recovery_Software.html (I DID NOT TRY THIS, SO BE CAREFUL WITH IT!) it should recover data from your stick.
