2.0 out of 5 stars A little more breathing room than a 4GB but still very limited March 21, 2012

By Bobby Shornock

Edition:8 GB

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Updated 2/13/13: My entire review is not visible unless you look at this in comment form, I apologize for the inconvenience. I also apologize for the massive length of this post, however appreciate everyone's support.

This card is a little better than a 4GB card as it will let you download a few PSN games, while buying physical media for the rest. 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. Those of you who plan on buying physical media, should be fine,with a couple of songs, demo's, and full PSN only games.

But, let's look at the size of the Vita games and media currently available.

1.0 out of 5 stars WAY overpriced but unfortunately necessary December 18, 2012

By Seishuku Kumori

Edition:8 GB|Amazon Verified Purchase

It was a money scamming scheme by Sony to make special memory cards that are WAY overpriced instead of just using regular micro sd cards. For the price of an 8 gb vita memory card I could get a 32 gb micro sd card!!! The vita also doesn't let you know that you MUST also buy a memory card when you buy the vita or else you can't use the console at all. It doesn't come with one. So the price for a vita is significantly higher ultimately than the advertised price of the vita itself. My son only found this out by talking with others who own a vita. Sony tries to hide this fact in it's advertising. Very shady.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a memory card. February 15, 2012

By Everett

Edition:8 GB|Amazon Verified Purchase

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

If you're debating sizes, 8GB is the sweet spot if you plan on getting some digital releases. Don't believe the line in the description that says it holds "2-4" Vita games. That's pretty low, actually, based on an average of 2 to 4GB per game, which is very high. I've had a chance to peruse the actual sizes of Vita games available on the Store, and they really range from 1 to 2 GB generally, with a few big ones up above near 3 to 4, but these are rare. There are also some smaller scale games that range around 200 to 500 MB. So realistically, I think the 8GB card could hold around 5 to 7 games, not 2 to 4.

About the card itself, it's a memory card. What's to analyze? It's very very small. Smaller than a penny, really. If your clumsy, you might be worried about losing it, but really if you plan to only get 1 memory card, then putting it in once and not taking it out is a valid solution.
