Sony Computer Entertainment PS Vita 32GB Memory Card

This card does exactly what it should- allows you to store multiple games saves as well as many digitally downloaded games. Despite it's price (generally hovering between $79 and $93 over the past few months on Amazon), I highly recommend getting the 32gb card rather than multiple smaller cards for three reasons. One is that it's less expensive as 4 8gb cards would cost you nearly $20 more than one 32gb for the same amount of storage (maybe a bit less with mandatory files on each card). Two being the convenience of avoiding the storage and swapping out of multiple cards. Three being the reality of the rise of digital gaming in our lives. It is increasingly obvious that Sony and Microsoft are heading in the same direction as PC gaming with an eventual phasing out of physical media. Despite the Vita's slow rise in sales I feel that it will succeed and as it does it will be aging successfully in what is now quickly becoming a digital only world. Whether or not the next generation of consoles relies on both physical (disc-based) and digital media or not, the future is definitily going digital-only (except for physical collector's editions, possibly). With that in mind, I think it's best to invest in a higher if not highest capicity card now for all of your future downloads. It will allow for much more storage, as well as less maintenance hastle (having to choose which games/music/movies to delete from your card to make room for something else). That in itself is a great benefit!

I know many of you out there feel like this item may be over priced but its not so bad considering Sony want's to secure their investment. It all comes down to patients and saving your money. Also make use of Amazon's trade in offers. I traded in my college anatomy book for $100 bucks and got this for $84 bucks and still had money to spare. When I first got my vita which was on the day it offically launched (and my birthday!) I started off with the 8 gig that came bundled with the 3G model. A few days after I got the 16 gig which I had found online for $39.99. I've downloaded about 5 vita games and 8 psp games and so far I have been quite happy with my purchase. Once school got out for the semester I figured it was time to upgrade and get something bigger so I got this and it came in 2 days for free thanks to prime.I know it may seem like Sony is trying to get over but they aren't doing so well as a whole now a days. They put out some high quality products yet they don't get the same recognition that companies like apple gets, and apple is a ripoff. Seriously their new IPad isn't even close to the vita spec wise yet its more then twice the price. They didn't even really upgrade from the previous tablet outside of the retina display and yet they still charge you super premium prices for their lackluster technology.If you like the playstation brand and have or plan on getting the vita later on down the road then I would highly recommend this memory card for those would plan on going more digital. If you think your gonna buy more physical disk then the 4 or 8 gig will suit you just fine

Product arrived on time and works great. Would definitely recommend this seller.

Just what I needed for going all digital. Has plenty of room for all my downloads. Eventually I know I'll hit the max, so I'll have to remove some games on it, but its not a big deal at all. People have been saying that it takes longer to load games and such. Yeah it does. Will it kill you? No. A second or two isn't going to kill your vita experience. Besides, when I had the cartridge version of uncharted, every time I turned on vita, it paused to say installing for 4-5 seconds every time i booted up the system anyways.About the pricing: Yeah the memory cards are expensive. Yeah Sony is using a proprietary format so you have to use theirs. If its a big deal, get the smaller size. Sony lost money for every ps3 unit sold. Here, vita costs $160 (parts) to make plus all their other manufacture costs and retailer cuts. Sony is barely making any from the hardware. So they are recooping in accessories. This memory card, the cradle, screen protectors and all the other accessories. It's either they sell the vita for $349 (and then people would be crying about that cost) and no one buys it or they sell it cheaper and charge more elsewhere.There's nothing to complain about. They offer a free online service unlike microsoft and they put out amazing exclusives. Give them a break.Games on my card:Touch my KatamariBlazBlueUnit 13Lumines Electronic SymphonyMotorstorm RCSuper Stardust Deltaand some psp gamesNo problems with load times. Used to have Rayman and Uncharted on carts. No huge difference.
