PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

Perfect size for most gamers needs. When Sony announced a propriatary storage system for the Vita I was disappointed, and even more so when I saw the initial limitation was 32GB. Most gamers would quickly run through the storage on their 8GB cards, and with the majority of games being download-accessable only you would quickly run through the rest of the storage capacity up to that 32GB limit. The 64GB is about the most anyone would need for a long trip, or for the several games and associated save data. Its small, so it wont take up much space wherever you store it. Its good quality and isnt much more expensive than the 32GB, so if youre on the fence about which size to get Id advise shelling out a few more bucks for twice the capacity.

Sony 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.

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.

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.

Unfortunate as it is that Sony opted for proprietary memory cards on the PS Vita, this memory card has served me well and holds dozens of PS Vita / PS1 games. This is considerably a better option than a MicroSD adaptor if you have physical Vita games, as the adaptors plug in to where physical games go.

I love the space, its great to be able to fit all my games and saves in one place now. Im upgrading from a 16GB so its a HUGE difference. Reading through the negative comments, I can attest that the price is awful, its basically the price of a console. Its unfortunate Sony decided to take this path for the memory cards, but alas its out of the consumers control. It does exactly what its meant to, but youre not getting the full 64gb ( I know, especially after spending that kind of money.) I have mine at about 55gb. If you care to stock up on PSN games, its worth having this card size versus the smaller ones. If youre sporting all the cartridges then I wouldnt bother upgrading to the 64gb.

Still on my PS Vita since the day I bought it. Great product.

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.

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.

The PS Vita is a system that is no longer supported by its manufacturer as well as it was when it was new but one thing that has always stayed the same throughout the lifetime of the system is it’s storage carts. They have always stayed the same price for the most part across their respective capacities and although they may seem more expensive then more traditional storage mediums they get the job done and I’m very glad to have picked up this to maximize my storage to its highest capacity.
