PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

This memory card was an upgrade for me from a 32GB card. It has had no issues so Im pleased with it so far. The extra space is such a relief, due to all those wonderful PlayStation Plus games offered in the past year or 2. Interesting note: If you use Content Manager on PC, you might want to uninstall/reinstall it so that it doesnt get that error where it says you have 2 PS Vita systems being used at the same time. It seems to register a new memory card as another PS Vita system. That was the only slight problem I had, but it was fixable by reinstalling the program and updating the library for it.

My 64gb card failed or went faulty in 3 days. The Vita wasnt able to reformat the card, rebuild data base or recognize the card. The seller was great on refunding me. After more research I learned the 64gb cards have a higher failure rate compared to 32gb card. If I get another 64gb in the future and if it works good Ill update my review. I got another card and it started to do the same weird issues with backup and restore fails and other issues. I returned the second one too. The $90 price is not the problem for me, the quality of the cards are the problem. I really am disappointed in for the first time ever in Sonys lack of quality control in this particular product. They really should have never invented the card if they never intended for them to work properly in the original 3G/Wifi Vita. Save your money and buy a 32GB card and leave it at that. The 32GB work without any issues and Ive owned one for over 2 years while 64GB fails in days of use. After reading nearly every single negative review (3 star and below) for both 32GB and 64GB here are my findings. -32GB cards have a 0.8% chance of being faulty -64GB cards have a 2.0% chance of being faulty (plus their are less of them out there in the wild since they are only made for the Japanese market) PlayStation forums indicate that users encounter issues with restoring PSVita 64GB cards and that they fail quite often. Just stick with 32GB and deal with the memory management or start buying physical copies of your games ASAP to save on data.

To this date I am still puzzled as to why Sony has not yet offered a 64 GB Vita card for North America. The free games on PS Plus have been coming in fast and furious lately and I wasnt really down with the hassle of removing games just to make room to try out new ones. This is already well documented but yes, this card works perfectly fine in a North American PS Vita system. I wasted no time loading up the card and have encountered zero issues. The price that Sony charges for these things is exorbitant but having that 64 GB capacity goes a long way for convenience and peace of mind. Now if Sony will just give up the whole custom format deal and switch their next Vita successor to a standard memory card format...

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 ^_^

I upgraded from a 16GB card to the 64GB, and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Now I dont have to worry about juggling which games I want to store on the card. One caveat though; you only get access to 59GB of it. What I have on the card now: Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate Escape Plan Jet Set Radio Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Tearaway Uncharted Golden Abyss The Walking Dead Season 1 (Telltale game) BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend Dead or Alive 5+ Demo Injustice Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Mortal Kombat Street Fighter X Tekken Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 DJMax Technika Tune Sound Shapes Need for Speed Wanted Sonic Transformed Killzone Mercenary Unit 13 Luftrausers Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational Gods Eater Burst Mega Man Maverick Hunter X Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Still got 11GB left.

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.

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.

Aside from proprietary design and encryption, this card is, functionally, no different than a Micro-SD. Sony, fearing piracy paralleling that of the preceding PlayStation Portable (PSP), went and created its own memory card specifically for the PlayStation Vita (PSV), and subsequent, console version, PlayStation TV (PSTV). While this has, thus-far, successflly prevented PSV game piracy (PSVs and PSTVs have been hacked to play pirated PSP and homebrew games/programs), it has also created a significant deterant to purchasing PSV & PSTV hardware and software due to the unnecessarily high entry cost. Furthermore, this greatly hampers ones usable, digital library to a mere 64GB maximum (which is itself a rather recent upgrade in storage capacity). At this very moment, a 200GB Micro-SD card can be had for approximately HALF that of this proprietary 64GB card. Its simply rediculous in the grander scheme. The card functions, it does what its intended, though its existence is not needed as there are better products available at a lower cost that do the exact same thing (simply in a universal form). This is currently the better storage device to purchase, but the PSVs/PSTVs reliance on this card is entirely artificial.

I got a second hand 64GB ps vita memory card in good shape and it is working just fine.
