> 3 dayThe first impression that I had was, Wow, that little cards expensive! But this card does hold a lot. To put it in perspective, I have 47 games, consisting of PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 titles. 20 video files, and over 200 songs. With that, I currently have 5GBs left. If that amount of content for the price sounds good to you, then I would recommend a buy. Edit: 4 years later, the card has gone bad on me. The data has become corrupted and cant be copied, backed up, played, moved, or uninstalled. I lost a lot of game saves because of this. I suppose this is the unfortunate outcome of every card eventually, and i have heard of this happening to others in a shorter period of time.

Greater than one weekI previously owned a 16GB card for my Vita, upgrading from the 4GB card the unit came with. However, as a Playstation Plus subscriber, I quickly found myself running out of room on that card too. After learning that this 64GB card works with any Vita despite only being available in Japan at the moment, I decided to take the plunge and quadruple my space once again. The card itself is outstanding, and hasnt given me a single problem. With 59GB of usable space, it can easily hold every single free game released on PS+ thus far, with plenty of space remaining for other Vita/PSP/PS1 games and media. No more deliberating on which game to delete...at least for now. Having said that, on to the obvious negative. I know everyones pointed it out before, but Vita memory cards are quite expensive. Thats still very much the case here, but this card is easily the best in terms of dollars per gigabyte. A 32GB Vita card is usually about $80; this card has double that space for only about $30 more. Bottom line: this is the kind of card the Vita always needed. Vita games can be up to 4GB in size, and those smaller cards arent going to cut it if you get a lot of games digitally (i.e., if youre a Plus subscriber). If youre upgrading your card, though, might as well upgrade to this one. Its pricey, but its also the best deal on Vita memory you can get right now.

> 3 dayMy 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.

> 3 dayYes, its hard to swallow the price of this card, and it would be nice if it didnt have to be imported to the US, but that being said, I am EXTREMELY happy to have it. I really like the idea of going all-digital for many reasons, like 1. dont have to take extra time to shuffle around game cards if you want to switch out games when youre on the go, 2. dont have to find space to carry all the extra cards when traveling, 3. environmentally friendly, 4. load times seem to be more forgiving with some titles, and 5. with some patience, I have largely been able to find digital sales for games that well exceed physical sale prices. I had been juggling two 8g cards since the launch of the Vita Slim (pain in the culo), and since that time I have saved so much money on digital sales, I decided to grab a 64g card. Shortly after, I was gifted a one-year PS+ subscription, and am stoked to have this card now for the IGL as well as for the PSP and PSOne library titles. I have 41 games on this card and still have over 25g to spare. I would also say that for the current price of a 32g card, it made more sense to me to pay the little bit extra for the 64g card. So, something else to think about there, because I dont think Ill be hurting for space any time soon. I havent had any issues at all with this card and transferring data or recognizing content. The shipping was very fast (much faster than the estimated time by weeks). I really cant think of any reason for a Vita owner not to have this card, ESPECIALLY if they are a PS+ subscriber.

> 3 dayI will say only to be careful with this product. As the most expensive of the memory cards and the most spacious you will be tempted to just download and remove stuff all the time from it, causing some to have a corrupted download that could brick the memory card but leave your system itself okay. It can happen with any download and because I did so frequently, mine died after 8 months of use. Still for its price vs Space this is well worth it. Just be sure you keep some back ups and dont end up like I will having to start most of my games over again when I get a new card that is cheaper should this happen again.

> 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 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 dayIf we overlook the fact that the price is far too high for a 64 gb card and just review it on its merits, this card is great. The fact is if you own a vita, you need a memory card and the 64gb card is the largest and the the cheapest in terms of dollars/gb. If you own a vita and have playstation+, you want to have a lot of space for all those vita games that come with it. Some games can be quite large and if you hate swapping data like I do, a 64 gb card will do the trick. Note that the packaging is all in Japanese, but vitas are not region locked, so it works fine in a US vita.
