PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

Nothing beats official Sony quality. This is the real deal. Weve used this for Many MONTHS without a single error. I think its worth the extra few bucks for peace of mind knowing your memory card wont just instantly disappear when it suddenly fails without any warning like the cheap clones do (Im speaking from experience!). The 64gb worked great in our Vita Slim, with a free firmware update, and we love the huge 64gb size. We have a LOT of Vita download games and its very nice being able to install/load all of them at once without having to delete/reinstall games we feel like playing - which saves a lot of time and aggravation.

Everything is great other than these memory cards being so ridiculously expensive. Also, 64 gigs (which you can use about 59 of,) still isnt THAT much considering most of the Vitas titles are digital only. I feel like it isnt going to take me long to fill this card up as well. Regardless, it works fine and is the most space you are going to get for your Vita. Dont worry about these being imported from Japan, they were never released in North America, it will work. Might as well get this one since the 32GB is ridiculously priced too.

I was close to running out of space on my 32gb card & needed to buy another card. I like keeping all my stuff organized in one place, so I decided to upgrade to the 64gb (I wish there was a 128gb option). The only thing I can say is that I wish Sony would have released these here in the United States & that they would not have to be so expensive. Other than that, this very small memory card is a beast when it comes to storage for your Vita & in my opinion was worth the extra money to import it. Be aware that it actually has 59gb of usable space to begin with.

Its is a Japanese import but most importantly YES, it WILL work on a US Vita =D Originally selling for $135, the 64GB Vita memory card (of which you get 59GB to work with) now sells for $88 to $100. Shipping costs are not included in that figure and yes, it’s online only for those who live in The States. In hindsight it’s better than paying the same amount for a 32GB Vita memory card. As the last two reviewers said, although it is a 64GB Memory Card, you only get 59 to work with while the remaining 5GB is partitioned. Even so, its ALOT of memory at your disposal. It made sense for me to get one given I use my Vita for more than just playing video games. I also download movies and Anime Episodes from The Playstation Store. Since I plan to buy the Gamestop Exclusive Aqua Blue Vita, I will buy a second 64GB Memory Card in a few weeks. If you’re getting a Vita between now and the end of the year, the 16GB one I replaced (of which you get 14GB to work with) should be fine. That will cover a good 5 to 8 Vita games, 10 to 15 PS One Games and 7 to 12 PSP Games. It goes for about $25 nowadays. This is of course assuming you load it with just games. The Vita supports MP3s for Music plus it has the camera function for taking pictures, video and screenshots (Press Home + Start together). TV Episodes range from 225MB to 500MB for Standard Definition and 1GB to 3GB for HD. Movies are usually 750MB to 1.5GB for Standard Definition and 5GB to 12GB for HD. Those things will eat up your storage if you’re not careful! If you plan to download alot of Games, TV Shows/Movies and other content, its an absolute must. DLC content adds up too so...yeah. Even so, it should last you a good while ^_^

A little pricey, but this is the best option for your PS Vita, especially if youre looking to do a lot of digital downloads from the PSN store. It will be able to store most of your gaming and media needs with some room to spare. Previously I had purchased an 8 gb card when I bought the Vita, but that quickly filled up, so I was looking for something with a little bit more memory and this was the biggest option they had. I transported all of my files and savegames from my other memory card via Sonys own memory transfer program that works on both Mac and PC, and now I dont have to worry about using up all my space. Like I said, the price is a little on the high side for a memory card, and Sony sucks you in with their specific Vita memory cards, but if you use your Vita a lot, this one is a no-brainer.

Works perfectly on my north american vita. I have so much room I can just carelessly download as much as i want. I have about 20 movies and like 30 games (vita, psp, ps1 etc) and I still have plenty of room. I also keep about 80 of my favorite songs on it too. I dont like to physical copies of games because theyre tiny and easy to lose so this is perfect. I only give it a 4 because its way over priced. If it were about 40 dollars, itd be a solid 5 star.

Im very satisfied with my memory card. I believe that if youre going to own a PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) you owe it to yourself to invest in the 64GB or 32GB memory card. I think it goes without saying that the price point on these memory cards doesnt properly reflect the current market price for similarly sized ones by competitors, but with Sony making these proprietary... theres really no choice is there? Being a PlayStation Plus member, and receiving so many free & cool monthly PS Vita games via the service, I was hindered by the measly 4GB memory card that comes with the PS Vita. I can now load up my PS Vita with the games Ive been anxiously wanting to keep loaded on my system, without having to constantly delete it so that I can play another title. For those wondering, the imported 64GB memory card works great in the North American versions of the handheld. Its simply only available in Japan, for whatever reason.

As advertised but no fault of the seller, sony proprietary memory card/slot is rediculously over priced. If they had simply gone the SD card route they would have sold way more vita units. Buying a vita just to find out you need to spend $40+ more for a much smaller memory card or $100 for the 64GB Japan release only card is quite a big pill to swallow and only the hardcore or dumbest of us are willing to drop that kind of cash on something that is so specialized. Its not like i can use this card in anything other than my PS Vita. With that said, I like having the ability to have lots of games installed to fit my random desire to play whatever I feel up to at the moment. I have frequent long hospital stays for which I was very glad to have 20 - 30 different games readily available to me.

Let me get this out of the way first: I despise Sonys proprietary price gouging with a fiery passion. For this much money, you can buy a decent 120GB SSD. But I digress. This card will display 59GB when you look at its storage capacity on the Vita itself. Ive included an explanation at the end of this review on why your card will read 59GB when you put it in. For those of you who dont want to read all of it, 59GB is what is displayed and this is not incorrect, nor is saying that it is 64GB wrong, its just a common deceptive practice in todays digital storage market. This card, despite being a Japanese import, works just fine on American PS Vitas. What you are buying is a direct Japanese import, not a card thats been localized for North America. Im using it on my NA PCH-2000 and Ive played games from it, it works just fine. The amount of data on this card makes it a far better deal than all the other cards, and youll never realisitcally fill this thing unless youre a Vita junkie and have a ridiculous number of games from PSN downloads. I put 5 PS Vita games (Borderlands 2 with all DLC, Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Soul Sacrifice, and WipEout 2048) and 3 PSone classic games (Front Mission 3, FFVII, and FFVIII) on here and its only taken up 9GB of space. You can get by on the 32GB card, but Id rather not have to worry about disk space, especially for a relatively minor increase in price comparatively speaking. Swapping cards is frustrating on PS Vita, mainly because it requires you to completely reboot, its nothing like PSP. However, thats on the Vitas end, not this cards. An explanation on digital storage sizes: The card holds 64GB measured in metric units as opposed to binary units. Whats the difference you ask? This is a fairly common practice that many people misunderstand. This thing will display 59GB to your console, despite the fact that it is in fact 64GB. Why? Its not because 5GB is allotted to formatting (it doesnt take 5GB to do that). 64GB is measured in metric units, meaning it is measured as 64 billion bytes, since giga- means billion. In computer architecture, measurements are based on binary units, meaning each power of 10 is actually 10 bits, which is 2^10 = 1024 Bytes = 1kB. Expanding this, 1MByte = 1024kBytes = 1,048,576Bytes, and 1GB = 1024MB = 1,048,576kB = 1,073,741,824Bytes in binary units. However, in metric units, 1GB = 1,000,000,000Bytes. The difference is then 1,000,000,000/1,073,741,824 = 0.931, so metric measurements allow them to display sizes that are actually 7% smaller. If you do the math, 0.931*64GB = 59.6GB, so its 64GB in metric (what they write), 59.6GB in binary (what the computer reads). This is a common business practice and is how literally every form of digital storage is marketted nowadays.
