PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

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.

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.

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.

As a release day owner of my Vita, I started out with the 8g card. With few games at the time this wasnt really a big deal. I soon jumped up to the 16g and stuck it out there because I didnt want to pay so much more for the 32g. Now with a larger library of games, especially those with PS Plus subscriptions and other downloaded games available I really didnt want to wait any longer. I was a bit hesitant at first to import the 64g card since they are only available in Japan. Sony hasnt released them in the US (which boggles the mind) and at first some of the price gouging on them was insane. After waiting a bit for the price to drop I took the plunge. The 64GB card has gotten a lot of bad reviews. Why? Not because of a faulty item, but because of price. I can understand this as I hesitated for a long time before purchasing any card bigger than the 8GB. Its also understandable as many sellers were significantly price gouging when these were first released in Japan. Consumers want Sony to know they are unhappy with the choice to keep us locked to purchasing their memory. Yes, Sony has made a smart move to lock consumers in. Now that the new version of the Vita is out, its pretty obvious it isnt going to change. There is no reason to keep a smaller number of games, music, and videos on your Vita if you really dont have to. The price is considerable, but its the best bang for your buck. If you purchase any of the smaller cards youre ending up paying more in the long run even when they are on sale. (Black Friday/Cyber Monday included) Yes, it WILL work on your US Vita. These cards are not region locked. I have a US Launch Vita and it works just fine. Keep in mind youll need to format it when it arrives, at least I needed to. This card will display as being 59GB, when it fact it is 64GB. Its just how the memory is measured, it doesnt mean the memory is faulty or anything like that. As other reviewers have agreed its a common business practice with memory and its nothing to be concerned about. Just a heads up as Ive read a lot of people are confused and even angered by it.. but its just how memory works. Backing up your Vita and then moving everything over to the new card is simple. Just connect it to your computer, backup/restore and youre good to go. I for one like physical copies of games. Call me old school but I like having a product I can hold. Thats not to say I dont have plenty of downloadable titles as well (Final Fantasy, Walking Dead, PS Plus freebies..etc). I have pretty much every title I own on my Vita right now with room to spare and that feels good. To re-iterate there are no plans to bring this card to the US as of yet. It was initially announced about its release in Japan last November 2013. So if youre waiting for it to come out here, dont bother. I got this for a decent price with Prime. It arrived quickly, safely and in new condition. Ive had no issues with it and love the fact that I have so much space available. If youre a Vita junkie like me you cant go wrong here. Dont sell yourself short purchasing a 32GB card that wont save you money in the end. Purchase from a trusted seller and give your Vita some freedom. Hate on Sony for smart business practice but in the end the product does work. Pros: Isnt Region locked. 59GB, plenty of space for your favorite games, music, movies, etc. Easy to install and use. Cons: Price.

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.

Although in this day and age, where industry standard should have carried over to a game console like the PS Vita, sadly enough, Sony claims that this is supposed to stop Copyright Infringement. No, its just another way for Sony to charge a much greater price on a card that is strictly proprietary to their PS Vita system, instead of making complete sense like they did for the PS3 and allow an industry standard memory card to fit. Either way, bottom line is, if you want to play more games via download, you need more memory. If not, then buy the PS Vita games on their cards and use the extra memory for save game features.

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.

Incredible. I recently purchased a PS Vita (North American unit) over the last week for $100 and it only came with a 4GB memory card. I found out immediately that this was inadequate as the game I wanted to play required at least 5GB for an expansion (Phantasy Star Online 2). Instead of buying the next highest capacity card, I figured why not check and see what the maximum capacity is? Lets check out Amazon... And well, the rest is history. This 64GB card was priced just right and had enough space for just about everything I could think of. As Im typing this I have full games and demos all downloading on the Vita, and soon Ill be able to play a myriad of games without concern of whether or not there will be space available. I say go for it if you have the cash, max out your storage and play worry-free!

The space vs. price trade off is debatable. Yes you do get a ton of storage space for games, videos, etc and should technically never needed another memory card again (unless you download EVERYTHING). But the damn thing costs half of what the console itself it does. Plus you have to have it imported and wait days or week or even months depending on the vendor/shipping methods. As with any Memory Card, actual available space is 59GB NOT 64GB. But considering the other options 8GB (standard in most retailers), 16GB (not as common to find), and the 32GB (extremely rare to find, did SONY stop making these? ran out? emptied out available supply? did not expect people to buy these?), cant complain. The memory card is the released in Japan only 64GB card (theres a Hon Kong version floating around, not sure if that one is legit), BUT its universal and region free and will work on any PS Vita. I have a US 3G/Wifi Vita and the memory card worked without a hitch. I had an 8GB and ran out of space within a week. I tried to get a 32GB at local retailers and no one had it. Searched online and the prices where insane, almost about the same for a 32GB as it was with the 64GB. As of the time of review, I have 13 apps, 12 Vita games, 8 PS Ones, and 9 PSP games downloaded and installed and still have 32.9GB left. Pros - Space. 59GB NOT 64GB (As is the case with any memory card). - Universal and region free, plug it in the memory card slot and start saving - Minimal packaging. Cons - Price. REALLY Expensive, anywhere between $100.00 to $200.00 depending on the vendor. But considering youll have enough space for everything, pretty much debatable. - Packaging not in English. This is more so in case the card doesnt work or something goes wrong. But you can always return to vendor within the refund period.

Well, Ill guess Ill write my review for the 64 gigabyte memory card. Albeit over priced this is a must have for a Vita owners. First off you get 59GB not 64GB but thats just how it works. If youre worried because its imported it does work on American Vita models. Just to give you an idea of how much space you truly get I currently have: 1 PSone game, 4 Minis, 9 PSP games, 23 Downloaded games, plus large size patches for multiple games and I still have 35GB free. The only real downside is the price $100 is too much but, when you look at it the 32 Gigabyte is 70 bucks for $30 more youre doubling the space that and considering the 32 used to cost $100 its a nice deal.
