PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

> 3 dayI purchased two of these ridiculously expensive PSV memory cards from seller APEX GAMES (USA) with FBA (fulfilled by Amazon). I originally only purchased one for my husband, but after browsing Amazon and getting great deals on PS Vita games it only made sense to just get one for myself. I do want to note beforehand that the cards I received from APEX GAMES (USA) are the Asia version (Taiwan/Korea - PCH-Z641G), NOT Japan version (PCH-Z641J) like stated in the description and title. Because of this I knocked off one star as I did not receive the actual version I paid for. After reading up on differences and seeing that the G version cost more on the play-asia site (where PS Vita is commonly found), that site states the J version may experience issues with PSV 1000 devices (aka fat vitas). Now I dont own the PSV 1000, but the 2000 slim so I decided to keep the G and tested them out. So far no issues only time will tell when and if these cards deteriorate with excessive use. I was able to transfer a small saved file I had from my internal slim memory onto the card without any issues. Ive read issues with both G and J versions so whatever card I got would of been a risk either way. Leave it to Sony to make a proprietary memory card that might and might not work overtime with such a high price tag. Both cards gave me 60gb of free storage. If you are wondering where the 4gb went, simple answer is system data after formatting. UPDATE: I ordered a third 64gb PSV memory card for another PS Vita, but this time from seller cus mart and got exactly as advertised! BRAND NEW SEALED PCH-Z641J and is in working order. So far both Japan (PCH-Z641J) and Asia (PCH-Z641G) versions of this 64gb memory card has been working perfectly since purchase. NEVER remove the memory card while your device is on/sleep mode, high chances of file corruption. UPDATE #2: Ordered another memory card for my 4th new silver PS Vita from seller NuBlissful with FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon). Card came brand new in original packaging as advertised and is working great!

Greater than one weekJust to get the negative part of the review out of the way first: YES. The price of these memory cards are way too expensive. After formatting, the actual space is 59GB (still HUGE), and no different than formatting a 16GB card and the actual space ends up being only 14GB. That said, I was happy to pay only $22 more than what a 32GB Vita card would cost for double the amount of precious PS Vita memory space. I purchased this card from GZ Store here on Amazon, and could not be happier. The orders are actually fulfilled by Amazon and shipped out of Indiana, giving you very fast delivery within the US. I decided to get next day shipping because at this price point, whats another $10? Still, the entire purchase and overnight shipping came to less than $120, and I have received it just in time (the exact day matter of fact) for Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD for the PS Vita. I highly recommend getting this card if you know you are going to be using a lot of space, as it is by far the best price in terms of cost to memory space ratio. I also highly recommend GZ Store as it is shipped and fulfilled by Amazon, and ships straight from their warehouse with all of the shipping options available to have it next day, or free shipping, or however you would like.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayIts 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 ^_^

> 3 dayThis is the biggest PS Vita card that I could find. It has excellent storage capacity for those who like to carry a high volume of games and music at a time. According to my content manager on the Vita the actual storage space of the card is 59gb, which isnt what they claim (it never is), but I have over 30 full games and over 60 full music albums along with 200 individual songs on it and my card isn’t even half full yet. Long story short: if you need or like being able to carry lots of data and don’t like having to switch out cards all the time, this is the card for you… until a larger capacity card comes along.

> 3 dayThis 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!

> 3 dayWorks 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.

> 3 daySony has always had a love affair with its own proprietary storage. So it wasnt a surprise to anyone that their new PS Vita would require more of their proprietary cards. (I honestly believe that they make more off these cards than they do the actual games) I originally purchased an 8 GB card with my Vita, and that soon got filled up thanks to PSNs instant game collection. I went ahead and purchased the 64 GB card and Im happy to say that it works great on the Vita... The only reason that I didnt give it five stars is obviously for the price... $100... its half the price of the Vita itself.

> 3 dayWorks 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.
