PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

The first impression that I had was, Wow, that little cards expensive! But this card does hold a lot. To put it in perspective, I have 47 games, consisting of PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 titles. 20 video files, and over 200 songs. With that, I currently have 5GBs left. If that amount of content for the price sounds good to you, then I would recommend a buy. Edit: 4 years later, the card has gone bad on me. The data has become corrupted and cant be copied, backed up, played, moved, or uninstalled. I lost a lot of game saves because of this. I suppose this is the unfortunate outcome of every card eventually, and i have heard of this happening to others in a shorter period of time.

With all the free games for Vita with Playstation Plus, I wanted as much storage as possible to load games on. I didnt want to take a chance on changing memory cards all the time because these things are very, very tiny. 64 GB of space will hold me over for a very long time. Like others, I was a little dismayed by the high cost of this item, but it is what it is. You need a high speed card to keep up with the demand of games and this baby is quick and big. Prices are not relative with size, i.e. the 32GB is not half the cost of the 64GB card, so I just bit the bullet and bought this. Buy big now instead of regretting it later.

while prices are ridiculously high, compared to current U.S. prices for (1) 32gb ps vita memory card, its completely worth it. there was a point where the price was on sale for for the 32gb unit ($40 usd, not amazon) during the 2013 holidays, but that quickly, and I mean QUICKLY, sold out. Since I prefer my games digital, and for portables, dislike carrying around a collection of games, I made the jump on this. coupled with a ps plus subscription, all the free games already available and more to come, this item is well equipped to hold them all. yes, you could get a smaller card and hold only what you will play and delete it once its done and rinse and repeat, but just having an entire collection ready to play is very satisfying. unfortunately, I do not see this coming to the U.S. anytime soon, since the current models just received a price cut (which isnt much, but hey), and the 32gb currently standing at $80 usd msrp, if we follow the logic of pricing, this would theoretically be at $160 usd. which sounds unrealistic, but remember that when the 32gb first came out it was $100. If and when it does come out, at a more reasonable price point hopefully, I highly recommend getting this IF you prefer your games digital. But at the current prices of importing this item, at $110-130 it was still a worthwhile purchase.

Its a huge memory card, and if like me you like to keep a lot of games and podcasts on hand its pretty sweet. It has no region locking and shows no slow down when used in the Vita. Just be aware you need a Playstation Plus subscription to back up most of your digital PS Vita games saves. So if like me you deleted games before they added PS+ cloud saving to the system you will have to start from scratch unless the game itself uses its own cloud saves (like StarDrone, Playstation All-Stars, and Soundshapes do to enable save transfers with their PS3 counterparts). Digital versions of Vita only games like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Daze however cant have their data backed up without the service. Though those two are free with the service itself so if you havent bought them yet and want them it makes the pill a bit easier to swallow. Just buy a subscription, back up all your saves, then when the new Memory card shows up youre set, get youre games downloaded off the store, touch the + icon on the games/app start screen and itll bring up the download from the cloud option. Its important to note this issue will not effect Physical PS Vita, PS One Classics, Minis, or PSP game saves.

Let me just say that a SanDisk 200 gb high capacity card is currently 69.99. Its annoying to have to pay almost double for less memory, so one has to be committed to the Vita platform to purchase this. However with that aside, it is phenomenal to be able to store a great amount of psp, Ps vita, and psx classics all on one card. I have not filled the unit yet but it provides a peace of mind and convenience at a high price. If you are a PlayStation enthusiast and like to play classics that were previously on your PSX or the newest hits this card is necessary. Users will also benefit from not having to remove cumbersome hardware such as grips in order to change game cartridges. The high price of Sonys proprietary storage for its meagre amount of gb is why I marked down a star.

Finally! A Memory Card that holds everything I want. Look at this list of games that are on my one 64GB Memory Card: Final Fantasy 1-9, X-2, Tactics, Dissidia 012 Metal Gear Solid 1, Peace Walker, VR Missions Ratchet & Clank 1, 2, 3, Full Frontal Assault Sly Cooper 1, 2, 3, 4 Chrono Cross & Trigger Parasite Eve 1, 2, The Third Birthday Vagrant Story Uncharted: Golden Abyss Killzone Mercenary Need for Speed Most Wanted LittleBigPlanet Vita ModNation Racers Vita Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril Dragons Crown Persona 3 & 4 Freedom Wars Rainbow Moon Soul Sacrifice Delta Suikoden Xenogears Disgaea 3 Muramasa Rebirth Dino Crisis 1 & 2 Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Littlebigplanet PSP Worms: Battle Island Counter Spy Rogue Legacy 53 Games on this one Memory Card. Some amazing games from throughout gaming history. If you love your Vita, you cant go wrong with this Memory Card.

Works 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.

Unfortunate as it is that Sony opted for proprietary memory cards on the PS Vita, this memory card has served me well and holds dozens of PS Vita / PS1 games. This is considerably a better option than a MicroSD adaptor if you have physical Vita games, as the adaptors plug in to where physical games go.

One of the biggest downfalls of Sony and their many mobile devices is that they often try to rely upon their own proprietary media formats. This has almost ALWAYS failed for them and the PlayStation Vita memory card is no exception. Instead of using the widely accepted SD format, Sony created this card for the system. Its very difficult to find these cards at a reasonable price, even for a VERY small amount of memory (microSD cards can be had for very cheap with large amounts of memory). And the fact that the Vita is practically useless without one is beyond frustrating. We can hope that eventually Sony will learn that forcing their own media down the throats of consumers and will use standard formats, but until then youll be shelling out $80 for a 64GB card like this.

This 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.
