> 24 hourI highly recommend this size memory card for any PS Plus subscribers. I just got my PS Vita Slim a couple of days ago and already have about 10 free games installed in the Vita and expect to download many more as they become available for free or heavily discounted. I agree, its a little over priced, however it works flawlesly and I dont know if any standard type memory card would be able to perfrom at the level needed for the Vita. Remember you are running full games from these cards, and these graphically intensive games like Borderlands 2, Uncharted, etc. require good performing cards to run perfect. So, although the price is an issue this size of memory card is the best bang for the buck at about $1.8 per GB... not too bad. And finally for those frequent questions (including some I had) here are a few responses: It is actually 59GB and not 64GB (this is the way it is for any other memory cards out there, including hard drives, etc.) It will work with any US Vita models including the Slim (PCH2000)

> 24 hourUntil I purchased this, I owned a 32GB card and an 8GB. Although it still wasnt enough storage for all the network games I purchased, it was good enough. The only pain was having to swap out the cards and restart. I caved in and decided to purchase this card and sell off the others and Im glad I did. Now I have enough storage for all my games and no more swapping. Just grab and go. Although pricey, I prefer just having all my games in one spot and less to carry around. If you hold out, the price fluctuates. Ive seen them dip below the $90 mark to around $85. But they are hard to find these days. Especially USA made ones. The Japanesse ones (the one I bought) work exactly the same.

> 24 hourOverall this memory card does what it says, with a price that seems a bit steep. It is important to note that this memory card has approximately 60 GB worth of memory, as opposed to the 64 GB that is actually shown. This is to be expected though since the memory card itself needs space reserved for things such as system files. If the PlayStation Vita system does not recognize your memory card straight away once you boot up the system, with the memory card in place. Try formatting the memory card itself so the PlayStation Vita system will recognize the memory card, and allow you to utilize the space that is provided. At the end of the day I no longer have to worry about the memory limitations of the PlayStation Vita system, and I have ample space to download many psp games alongside a decent amount of PlayStation Vita games.

> 24 hourFirst off let me say 64GB is way more than enough space for the Vita. I have literally all my vita games on this card, OVER 35 FULL VITA TITLES!!! and thats not even counting all the indie games, ps1 games,and psp games. The only reason I knocked the product down 1 star is because sony really is charging a lot for these. With that being said It feels great having all my Vita titles right on the system and not having to worry about space and missing cartridges. In Summary its definitely a great buy for those who download lots of titles to their Vitas

> 24 hourToday I got my 64GB memory card for the PS Vita/PS TV. I first tried it in the PS TV and it works fine. It shows 60GB of usable memory, which is probably going to be more than enough. I dont think Ill be swapping the card out from the Vita to the TV because every time you move it from one to the other, it rearranges all of your downloaded games, which is annoying if you ask me. I got my Vita the day it came out and I just recently filled up all but 212MB of space on the 32GB card I got when I bought it. While I think it is overpriced for what it is (like most of the other posts Ive read), I believe youll get your moneys worth out of it as you fill it up with whatever you put on your Vita/PS TV.

> 24 hourIf you are into Digital games for your PS Vita then this card is a must. I have around 29 games in it and I coulnt be happier, no more lost game cartridges. The card also works with the Play Station TV if you have one. Overall This helps maintain a clean look on the Vita and reduce clutter. The Biggest CON is the Damn price, while a regular SD Card of the same size is far less expensive.

> 24 hourWorks as expected. Shipped in two days. Prior to contrary reviews, This product DOES fit the American model of the vita. Has 64 gb of space, as advertised. Yeah, its a little overpriced, but thats life and you just have to deal with it. I feel like you should have known before buying the console what storage and games would cost you. Not just say, Ooo a console! and expect everything for it handed to you. I dont think you should downgrade a product based on price. You knew the price before you clicked buy and YOU chose to pay it. This is not a necessity, but is nice to have. Especially if you subscribe to ps plus.

> 24 hourIncredible. I recently purchased a PS Vita (North American unit) over the last week for $100 and it only came with a 4GB memory card. I found out immediately that this was inadequate as the game I wanted to play required at least 5GB for an expansion (Phantasy Star Online 2). Instead of buying the next highest capacity card, I figured why not check and see what the maximum capacity is? Lets check out Amazon... And well, the rest is history. This 64GB card was priced just right and had enough space for just about everything I could think of. As Im typing this I have full games and demos all downloading on the Vita, and soon Ill be able to play a myriad of games without concern of whether or not there will be space available. I say go for it if you have the cash, max out your storage and play worry-free!

> 24 hourThis card works like a charm. I have a the new slim model, and i sold the 8gb card that came in my bundle, and put that money towards this one. I bought a 64gb card from simply order out of California and the card came in a few days and I didnt have to pay any kind of VAT or Import tax. I would highly suggest this card to anyone who is new to Vitas. I currently have about 40 games from PS+ and the three that I bought loaded onto this memory card. It makes my Vita truly portable. I never have to lug around a case full of games. I dont even have to swap a card in and out to play a different game. They are all loaded into my vita already! Physical media needs to go by the wayside. Cons: Not sold in the USA, except by resellers on amazon. It could be even bigger! Expensive proprietary memory card. Pros: Extremely reliable because it is proprietary, stores about 60GB worth of real data, for me that has meant more than 40 games. Pairs well with online purchases from the PSN store.

> 24 hourWhile the card itself is wonderful, I find the pricing to be quite excessive. The Vita has an expansive digital-only library (including all of the PS1 classics available on PSN), and having this card is almost a must-have for die hard Vita gamers. Odds are, it will fill up eventually, because there are many full retail games out there that take up quite a bit of space if you download them (Final Fantasy X/X-2 for example, take up over 10gb alone). Add to that the fact that many games coming out that are full-release in Japan (such as Warriors Orochi 3, Sword Art Online, and Freedom Wars) are getting digital-only releases in the US, and the 64gb doesnt go nearly as far as one would hope. Despite all this, the product works as expected, and allows access to dozens of games without switching cards or carts. A small side note: As many other reviewers have mentioned, the ACTUAL space on the card is 59gb, and as another reviewer explained that this discrepancy arises due to a difference in binary and metric measuring, and is a common practice when labeling storage space. _____________________ *Pros* -Best price-to-gb ratio -Plenty of space for smaller games (PS1/PSP/minis) -Easy to use (pop it in and youre good to go) -No more cart/card switching for a while. *Cons* -Prohibitively expensive -Full releases will fill up the card fast -Less storage than advertised
