That said, I hate to call attention to the fact that any one who decides to knock off points for the price of this card isn't being fair. Yeah, the price is steep on top of everything else you'll need to get the Vita going, but at this point it really shouldn't surprise you that Sony will pull a proprietary memory card out of its hat for an exorbitant price. Thats just what you get when you go Sony. If you think cutting some stars off here is going to get them to knock down the price, you don't know Sony. Start a letter writing campaign or a petition, that might net better results.
Really, since you have no choice but to use these cards, because Vita games require them, until someone comes out with a cheaper alternative (which as of my writing this, hasn't been mentioned as far as I know.. Usually Sandisk will do something like this) your only choices if you want to buy a Vita is to get a card, whichever size it happens to be, Or just not get a Vita at all.. Which is extremely limiting and disappointing, if you had your hopes up.
If you do get a Vita and need a card, you need a card that works -And these cards do work. I have a 16gb and an 8gb ab both work perfectly, no bells and whistles, you just put it in your Vita and it'll start saving things to it. In fact, you can't really do too much with the Vita without putting a card in at all. You try to download or play anything and it'll quickly tell you your missing this vital piece of hardware.
Seriously, the product works and that's all you need to know. Prices may be high, and they may drop one day, but till then you need to stomach them if you want to use this system -till then at least know they aren't selling you a shoddy item.
Durability: I have a 4GB, 8GB, and 64GB I longer needed. I have used all for a year, and had no problems.
Storage space: This depends on what you download, and maybe the VITA model as well. 2GB is reserved for the system, so you'll have 14GB. You may be able to hold 4 VITA games(more, or less). This includes 4 hours of videos, 400 songs, and 400 photos. These are just approximates though, which are based on the retail packaging of course. This is still just an estimate. It varies with memory size of content. I don't know why the information is different on the site.
Here's what I currently have on my card:
-Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and PlayStation Allstars Battle Royale(from cross-buy for Vita)
-Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (Vita)
-FFVIII (PS1 Classic)
-Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (PS1 Classic)
-Castlevania: SotN (PS1 Classic)
-Gex 2: Enter the Gecko (PS1 Classic)
-Run Sackboy! Run! (PSN Game)
-patches/DLC add-ons/saves
I still have over 2000MB(2GB) of the card left. This might be good if you just want it for a couple to a few digital VITA games only. You would still have plenty of storage for certain PSN games, PS1, games, and other content. It all depends on what you're looking for.
If you need it to hold more than 4 VITA games, I do not recommend it. Definitely buy it if you want the card. I highly recommend keeping the purchase total between $20-$25. Any higher is a big ripoff. If you're even lucky of getting it lower, then go for it! Go for the 32GB, or 64GB if you mainly want VITA games. Remember that patches are counted here. You may also want certain add-ons.
With that said, I've had a 8GB before this one and then this 16GB one and I can say the 16GB version is far far better for those who may rarely download titles.
I don't really dig digital copies, especially for consoles/handhelds, I like collecting them. Buuut with cross-buy I've wound up with a few digital titles along with PSOne classics which are awesome- but can be fat on your tiny card. I have quite a few games installed ranging from PSV, PSP and PSOne titles and I still have some breathing room. Problem is with the Vita, it's hard to avoid digital stuff between cross buy and the many titles you can only get digitally.
16GB is the card you want, especially if it's on sale and 8GB is the absolute minimum you should look at. If you can only get the 4GB? Freaking wait, after formatting you won't have enough room to install Final Fantasy VII, a PSOne game, never the less some of the larger Vita games which can weigh in at 2-4GB or more. Uncharted and Persona 4 were the largest Vita games last I looked both near the 4GB mark...if you're downloading these. But even still the games are fat and will fill your card fast so if you were to get one? 16GB is the best, 8GB minimum, 4GB? Don't bother.
