PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

A few things to understand. 1. It’s a 64gb memory card. 2. It is for the Vita. 3. It holds a lot of games, taking into consideration that most games for the Vita are 1 to 3 GB. (Sometimes less depending on what you enjoy.) 4. It isnt cheap. 5. And it is a Sony product which is why it isn’t cheap. So to the people that are giving the product a 1 star rating, stop. The price is what it is. Go complain on Sonys message boards if you dont like it. Now back to the review. Taking that all in, you need to ask yourself only one question. What price would you pay to have just about an unlimited amount of space? I was previously using a 16 GB card. Which could hold 3 to 4 Vita games depending. (Borderlands 2 takes up a lot of space to install) Now I can say with certainty that the 64 GB version can hold at least 32 games, and still have 13 GB left on standby. The standby memory has more than my 16 GB card had before adding anything to it. (Remember that the cards have coding which takes away from the storage) Meaning that the 64 GB card actually has 59 GB worth of free space – and my 16 GB had only 12.5 GB of free space. Here is a list of what is on my card. This might help show you the vast amount of space you will have (Remember, I still have 13 GB left to play with) 1. Batman: Arkham Origins (Vita) 2. Borderlands 2 (Vita) 3. Child of Light (Vita) 4. Chrono Trigger (PSX) 5. Chrono Cross (PSX) 6. Dustforce (Vita) 7. Fez (Vita) 8. Final Fantasy 4 (PSP) 9. Final Fantasy 5 (PSX) 10. Final Fantasy 6 (PSX) 11. Final Fantasy 7 (PSX) 12. Final Fantasy 8 (PSX) 13. Final Fantasy 9 (PSX) 14. Final Fantasy X-2 (Vita) 15. Guacamelee (Vita) 16. Killzone (Vita) 17. Limbo (Vita) 18. Lumines (Vita) 19. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (PSP) 20. MediEvil (PSP) 21. Need For Speed (Vita) 22. Persona 4 Golden (Vita) 23. Rayman Origins (Vita) 24. Rayman Legends (Vita) 25. Shooter Ultimate (Vita) 26. Sly Cooper 1 (Vita) 27. Sly Cooper 2 (Vita) 28. Sly Cooper 3 (Vita) 29. Sly Cooper Thieves In Time (Vita) 30. Tearaway (Vita) 31. Walking Dead Season 1 (Vita) 32. Zen Pinball – (With at least 10 tables) (Vita)

Overall 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.

This is currently being sold for a mere $4.50 more than a certain local retail is selling the 32GB card for, and they are supposed to be the Best for Buying? Anyhow, Amazon came through and I received this two days after ordering. Works perfectly in my US PSVita 1000 model (original) and reports as 60GB in system information. I have seen video reviews online showing it reporting as 59GB, so your mileage may vary. But, either 59 or 60...it doesnt matter. This is the best price you will find for the imported 64GB card and it works just fine in US Vita systems. I would be surprised if there were any compatibility issues in ANY Vita. Remember, this is made for it specifically by Sony. It is expensive when compared to microSDXC media, but it is proprietary so what can you do. At least 64GB will last twice as long as the USA overpriced 32GB card. Buy it!

I bout this because i had a big collection of digital games that i knew wouldnt fit in a 32gb card. After putting all my games on this card i have about 20gb left. More than i expected.happy with the space... not happy about having to pay so much but thats not the sellers fault Id like to end this review by saying F#$k you Sony for making us pay this much. Thats why your product failed.

... but it is waaay over priced (as are all of the Vita system memory cards). Honestly, I think SEN has been exceptional at providing product and pricing options that work to get all levels of gamers into the game (for lack of a better word). However, I feel the Vita cards, and the Memory Stick Duos before them are/were the most horrific customer wallet ravaging in their console history. Granted, the MS Duo eventually expanded exponentially size-wise, but the cards initial size constraints were truly unbearable. Fortunately, you were eventually able to purchase off-brand sticks (and stick adapters for Micro SD card implementation). The maximum additional memory went from Megabytes to Gigabytes as well. Perhaps one day Sony will kick out its obsession for gauging on these cards. Until then, the benefits of the largest available PSVita memory card are worth it... but still make you nearly cry when you shell out your coin.

Now that I have this card, I have an abundance of space. It took a month to get here (I thought this was a globalized economy), but it was worth the wait. There are no region compatibility issues, and a simple restore with the backup utility had me back to gaming within a half hour. I can finally download all my PS+ titles and not even be using half of this thing. To top it off, you wont find a better $/GB on any other card size (as of right now). Lastly, it is true that this only ends up being ~59GB shown on the system. This is due to the difference between base 2 (binary) and base 10 (metric) systems (1024/prefix vs 1000/prefix). The math is all there, and 64GB looks more appealing than 59.6GiB. This marketing is used for every piece of storage out there. Dont worry. Youre not getting cheated.

Downside: so expensive that I felt guilty buying it. Its the equivalent of buying the last ticket to a ballgame from a scalper: you know youre not getting what youre paying for, but if you want it badly enough youll do it anyways and then feel like you wasted your money after. Upside: Its enough room so that you dont have to worry about card management anymore. So thats something.

As you might already know sony has only released this card in japan and needs to release it stateside. The 32 gb card only holds 29.9 gb while this cars only holds 59gb but combined with a vita slim which comes with an extra 1gb thats a full 60gb combined total memory and already almost filling up 2 - 32 gb cards which much be switched out after powering off the vita you swap cards though if youve already got the oled display vita and get a borderlands2 vita slim and put a 64 gb card in each youll be good for a long time. HIGHLY recommended for digital downlods vs chip games if all you have is chip games and no dl games 1 of these should hold all your save data for those physical games.

The card functions fine even though its Japanese the vita is region free and it can run with any game or card as long as its for the PlayStation. The card fits a lot of games and other things you want to put into it without any problems I recommend getting it so that you dont need to keep swapping cards to be able to play games. Its totally worth it since there quite pricey.
