This 4GB card is the minimum required. It's good enough for game saves and game patches if you care to only play games using game cartridges. It can easily hold some apps like Facebook/Netflix and few music albums. I can also download 2-3 game demos. The Content Manager can help move infrequently used data to a PC or PS3 to alleviate space issue if you don't need to have all content available at once.
I initially bought this thinking that's all I need. But after playing some of the games, it became obviously that the games are worthwhile to keep, and many have replay value and therefore best to be downloaded to minimize swapping. Also I really liked to try many games and downloaded plenty of demos. Given the amount of stuff I now want to download from PSN, I opt for the pricey 32GB card.
But your situation may only require this 4GB version then there wouldn't be a reason to spend more money buying bigger capacity.
*UPDATE Nov 2012* I just noticed that PlayStation Plus membership ($50/year) now extends lots of games free for download. It is 18 games in fact, including blockbuster titles such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048 - PS Vita, Gravity Rush, Zen Pinball, etc. If you like many of these games, it's worth paying approximately $4 per month. And by doing so, you'll need more storage and this 4GB will not come close.

Sure it's 4 gigs; that would have made perhaps my father's jaw drop in the 70's but this is the 90's!! This is the age of terabyte storage and flying cars. Well, perhaps not flying cars just yet, but you get the point. The card is great and works well for what it is supposed to do, but I ended up just buying a 32. With full Vita games, demos, game saves, PSP games, music, photos, internet cookies, and pron, there's simply not enough storage on this little guy.
If you're someone like me who likes to have it all, you are going to find yourself constantly deleting things so you can add other things.
This thing is like your backpack in Skyrim. You'll spend more time organizing your inventory and prioritizing what you want to save & delete than actually killing innocent townsfolk. 4 stars because it's good for what it is but just not enough for what I use the system for.
Also, where is my flying car?

If you plan on using your Playstation Vita for game saves ONLY, then this is what the 4GB card is for. But let's face it, there will be people that want to revisit their PSP library, there will be people taking pictures, or putting their music on their vita to listen to with some games. For $18-20 bucks it's affordable, but it's the worst storage to price ratio, as expected.
But, let's look at the size of the Vita games and media currently available.

I received my Vita on Wednesday and yesterday (Friday) the 4GB card was already full. I have the following retail games: Uncharted, Lumines, and Rayman. I purchased Mutant Blobs (awesome game), Super Stardust, Netflix which fit on the card. I am not able to add anything else to the card. I'm sure I can still save games and everything but 4GB seems kind of useless to me. I gave it 3 stars because it at least allowed me to start using the system while I wait for my larger card. Obviously using it for 2 days did not allow me to get $20 of value out of it. I hope this helps others!

As every other Vita owner sadly becomes aware of soon after purchasing the device, the memory is just flat out too expensive for what you get. I got this during black friday to support multiple foreign PSN accounts, and even with the considerable discount, it simply does not feel like I am getting what I am paying for. 3/5 in place of 2/5 for what I payed. It's really a shame that Sony decided that proprietary memory was the best for the Vita, and that a 32GB card costs almost half of the cost of the Vita depending on when/where you buy. Sony, I am disappoint.

It works, but can't hold worth a damn.
It holds 2-3 games tops then you get annoyed and think, "well I guess I have to buy a bigger card." With flash prices these days, it should be relatively cheap right? Read more
