Sony Computer Entertainment PS Vita 32GB Memory Card

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 Katamari BlazBlue Unit 13 Lumines Electronic Symphony Motorstorm RC Super Stardust Delta and some psp games No problems with load times. Used to have Rayman and Uncharted on carts. No huge difference.

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

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!

Ever since most hand held devices came out, it was easy to buy a simple memory card from your local computer store (Office Depot, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc.) and instantly have your own memory card and then transfer it to your PC with no problem. Pictures, moves, games, comics, music, anything that the hand held device could read, you just simply plugged into the PC, copy it over, and then back to your hand held device and done. This is not the case with this device. Sony got smart and designed a completely NEW memory card specifically for the PS Vita. Based on the design, there's no device that can read it from your PC except a direct connection from the PS Vita itself. Sadly, no matter what it is, you can't read it through your PC. (Guessing because they are using another format which the PC can't read) The only way you can transfer stuff to your PS Vita is a program from the Playstation website, which is more of a docking station. It will instantly transfer the items (Images, movies, etc.) to it's proper location and will be read later when you unplug the system from your PC and use the proper program to view your items you transferred. Now, with that said. You may as well get this memory card. Mainly since the 4, 8, & 16 gigs are going to fill up very fast. (Not to say a 32 gig won't either, just not as quickly) Since games range between 10 Megs to 2 gigs or higher, you're not going to be able to hold much on this memory, especially if you had a 4, 8, or 16 gig card. This is truly the only option to be able to save your games, pictures, movies, etc. In a way, this is the only way to go. Just be ready to pay a hefty price for it. Overall, it's a good memory card. I was able to transfer my stuff from PSP to my PS Vita with little effort and all the games play well. Everything works and works fast on this card. Personally you should get the biggest memory card you can since games are getting bigger by size. It's a good buy and you may as well go all the way and get the highest memory.

I'm most likely going to be rated down for defending the price of this memory, but give me a couple minutes to tell you why I feel this way. I knew going into ordering the PS Vita that I would need a larger memory capacity for it. I always buy physical copies of games when it makes sense to do so, but I already own many great games purchased through PSN when I owned my PSP Go! as well as many digital PS One games. As of now with just my digital PSP games, I am using over 10GBs of space on this card. I know after creating system information for my retail games, and especially when PS One games are made available for the system, I will be using the rest of the card. Some may say they don't need their entire collection on the Vita at one time, which is true. I would just rather not have to deal with transfering games back and forth between my PS3 or my PC. Plus, always having access to my games whenever I feel the need to play something is great. The quality of Sony's memory cards have never dissappointed me. I have had Sandisk cards fail on me, but never a Sony. These cards will not lose that precious Monster Hunter save you have worked hundreds of hours on. For those who argue pricing while comparing this product to Apple's products, please see the pricing difference between a 16GB and 32GB iPad 2 and then get back to me. At least the Vita gives you the option to upgrade your system later instead of having to buy a brand new product. I hope I have given some insight to those who were still on the fence about it. -Proud gaming PC, XBox 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS and Vita owner.

The memory card itself is very tiny and simple enough to insert in the PlayStation Vita. I've had it for a few weeks and it works as it should—as far as I know, it doesn't slow anything and has stored games, photos, and music just fine. Although it is very expensive for a memory card, once you put it inside you'll most likely just forget about it if it works smoothly and you don't run out of space. It's a recommended choice if you download some games, and buy the cartridge for others. If you download all of your games, the 64GB would probably be a safer choice, and if you usually buy cartridges, it's probably for the best to just get an 8 GB one. I usually buy the game cartridges, but since I do download some games occasionally, buy DLC a lot, and store a lot of pictures and music, this was the choice for me. I still have lots of space left over. I recommend it!

Calidad Excelente

These people are buying this version and then insulting sony. Why are you buying the most expensive memory and complaining about the price? This is not out of the ordinary pricing either. A 16GB iphone is $199.99 and a 32GB iphone is $299.99. That is $100 for 16GB more and we never complained about that! Twice the memory and the same price and everyone is going crazy. Just take the 8GB card and put your game saves on it. No one is forcing you to buy 32GB of memory. Some of these people leaving feedback do not even buy this or the vita so they have no right being on a review section. As for the people who do have the vita, take a look at what you are holding. The amount of technology in this device is more than any other hand held in the market and is clearly expensive to make. If sony threw in a lot of memory for free they would lose memory. They already did everyone a favor by throwing in that free 8GB. Stop being so ungrateful and narrow minded and think about it a little. It is a good deal, it is cheaper than iphone memory, and the vita is extremely fun. Not mention that games on PSN are cheaper than the hard copies so the card will eventually pay itself off. If you are really that crazy about the easily avoidable cost, then go buy a 3DS because the Playstation community will not miss you.

If you are looking for a great way to store your playstation games look no further. With the PS Vitas exceptional backwards compatible catalog you will definitely need the storage, and that isn't even considering the still increasing PS Vita library. It isn't the biggest memory card (the 64 is, but those are apparently prone to failure) and because they are proprietary they are pretty pricey, but you will need a memory card and this is easily the best for your buck.

中古品ということで、ちゃんと認識するか不安でしたが、問題なく認識しました。 商品の紹介に、汚れがあると書かれていましたが、届いた商品はとても綺麗でした。また、商品が届くのも、予定よりも早く届き、とても嬉しいです。 ※注意点 VITA内部に保存していたセーブデータは、メモリーカードを差すと、全てなくなっていました。一度VITAの電源を切り、メモリーカードを抜き、再度VITAの電源を入れてセーブデータを確認しましたが、全てなくなっているようです。商品が不良品というわけではなく、VITAとメモリーカードの仕様のようなので、メモリーカードを指す前にVITA内部のセーブデータをバックアップする方法を調べてバックアップを取るようにしてください。

Does what it is supposed to do - stores games! Couldnt justify the price for the 64GB version, which I have read is more prone to malfunctions also. This is more than enough space, especially as the pace of releases continues to slow, unfortunately. The transfer process from my old card was a bit convoluted and involved downloading software from Sony, but worked fine. Look up an online tutorial if you are interested in doing that.

Aunque el tiempo de espera fue considerable, estoy muy satisfecho. Memoria original y el desempeño es excelente. Magnifico tiempo de escritura, no tengo que esperar tanto. 32 gb son excelentes para guardar canciones, videos y sobre todo juegos.

does the expected job just a bit pricey
