Questions & Answers

Which game would be the best to use if I had a lot of them?

Purchase as many game card games as possible to keep the content off your memory flash card, but these are ridiculous when compared to a PC solid-state drive. The price-per-unit is determined by the state. GB is a victim of one of these shady schemes. The same scam was used with Xbox 360 memory cards, so the entire consumer base should be embarrassed that a $30 flash drive could be purchased in this day and age of dirt-cheap flash drives. 91 memory stick with a storage capacity of 16 gigabytes.

Is it okay if I use a micro sd card or an sd card that isn't made by Playstation?

No, a SD card won't work with the PS Vita. Only Sony memory sticks are compatible with the PS Vita.

I'm thinking about getting the 16GB, but will the games I downloaded still be on my vita if I turn it off and switch memory cards?

You'll need to re-enter your information. They are available for download. Install Sony's Content Manager Assistant and backup your current card to your computer as an alternative. Switch off your Vita, remove the old car, and replace it with a new one. Then transfer it to your new memory card.br>Alternatively, you can keep different games on each memory card and switch them around as needed.

Is there a PS3 version of this?

Selected User Reviews For 16GB PlayStation Vita Memory Card

The item you require but despise yourself for purchasing
3/5

Is it capable of completing the task? Yes. Is it true that I despise it and all it represents? Yes. br>br>This is a perfect example of Sony's greed and arrogance - that they killed a perfectly good system in order to charge a premium for a proprietary memory card that rendered the system useless. br>br>With regard to this specific transaction - Everything went smoothly, on time, and according to plan. I just have to shower after caving in and buying one (I had a long flight and needed something to keep me entertained). br>br>Will almost certainly receive an X. The following time, use a box. I've been in a coma for the past few days. Since my first PlayStation in 1997, I've been a die-hard fan of Sony, but this is the final straw.

The biggest con, but a PS VITA is required for almost everything
3/5

The cost of a 16 GB proprietary card is truly outrageous. When you look at the prices for the 64 GB card, it's clear that they're increasing them for no apparent reason. On the PSP, you could easily use a MMS for a fraction of the price; I only bought it because it was on sale, but I would never consider purchasing it otherwise. To be honest, this is the biggest and most obvious scam I've ever seen from a company.

This is an excellent card, but it comes with a lot of complications
3/5

When it comes to memory options for the PS Vita or PS TV, there are a few options. There isn't a single one of them. That's right, you can only use their memory, and it's expensive even after the system has been out for a while. However, I ran into a few issues, which I'll explain below. br>br>First, I ordered the PS TV bundle, which included an 8GB memory stick. Please note that because Amazon was temporarily out of stock, I was forced to pay an additional $30 for the bundle. And there was only one new bundle left at the time for 130 dollars, which I thought was a bit of a ruse, but I bought it anyway. I did one-day shipping and everything worked fine, but when I tried to download games like sword art online and soul sacrifice delta using the supplied 8GB vita memory, I started getting errors and had to delete and re-download the games. After downloading them, the card continued to function for another two days, albeit with a variety of errors. br>br>Then there's a BOOM. I tried everything and it just stopped working. It was such a pain to go into safe mode and reformat, which it wouldn't let me do. br> So I contacted Amazon, and they agreed to give me a 20% discount, allowing me to buy this 16gb for only $7. Not yet, but I'm waiting for my account to be credited. I also kept a chat log in- In the event that they claim that they did not agree to the discount, But I'm confident they'll make it. But it was a major pain, and if you get a PS TV bundle, be aware that the memory card may be completely useless. Because this New 16gb works like a charm, it's possible that Sony had only surplus memory laying around and threw it in the bundle to save money. I hope it continues to be so. br>br>Also keep in mind that an 8GB card isn't really that good for downloading games because it won't hold much, and even though this card says 16GB, you only get 14GB, but that's how memory storage works. I'm hoping that this review will be of assistance to someone. br>br>Also, if you plan on using your computer to back up your games from your PSTV memory card, be prepared to wait 50 minutes. A game and a backup of everything takes about an hour and ten minutes, but restoring it to the PSTV takes seven hours. I thought I had something wrong with my setup, but that is the standard time for the PS TV to boot up.

It's a little too expensive, but it does the job
3/5

It's ridiculous that the Vita or PS TV must use proprietary memory, but it's a smart business move for Sony. It's overpriced, but that's not Amazon's fault; if you need more memory for one of those two units, this is the way to go. It accomplishes what it sets out to do, and it does so admirably.

If you're a serious vita gamer, you'll need at least 16GB of memory
4/5

Because your applications and free downloads alone will take up more space than you expect, the 4GB will not be enough space for your vita, and unless you get this to play once in a blue moon for fun, you will require more memory. 8 GB is a bit of a waste because it puts you on the verge of being able to download more, but you'll end up having to delete old files to make room for new ones. You'll need at least the 16GB if you intend to use the Vita as a gaming device or console. You'll be able to have about 3-hours of free time as a result of this. 4 games, as well as some apps and data, have been downloaded. If you want to store your entire music library and only play downloadable games without having to worry about cartridges, you'll want to look into memory cards with 32GB or higher capacities. br>br>Also keep in mind that you can get a lot of free demos, and it's sometimes cheaper to download a game and buy it directly from the Playstation Network, especially if you have a Playstation Plus membership, in which case the 32GB version should be seriously considered. I know it's a lot of money, but you don't want to pay for a game to download only to have to delete it later to make room for a new game. And there are a lot of cool games and demos on this thing. I really like the vita, and in an ideal world, I'd have a 60GB memory card, but that's not going to happen. As a result, opt for the 16GB or 32GB storage option. Good luck with your game!.
