Title: WTB: Sony Vita Memory Card
Post by: Mathius on August 14, 2016, 11:06:19 PM
Looking for a 16Gb(+) memory card for my Vita. The 4 Gb that came with my unit just isn't cutting it. For some reason my system is either reserving about 80% of my card for future downloaded games, or it was used for game updates for the two games I own (which seems ridiculously unlikely). I'm not very knowledgeable about the Vita yet. And the system isn't offering any clues as to why it's doing it.

Anyway I need a new or used memory card please. Make offers. :)

Thanks my brothers.

Even used these things are still expensive.  I ended up importing a a new one for about the same price as a smaller sized used memory card.  Just had to wait a few weeks for it to arrive.

Keeping track of free space or doing anything utilitarian on a Vita is a complete PITA but I suggest you learn where the space is going. I was running out once and it took me quite a while to realize I had three EPs of Steven Universe on it. 4GB should be enough space to load at least one AAA game and a few small things. I should say though, I don't play AAA games but I do play things like Guilty Gear, Gundam Extreme Vs and that upside down game (sorry Sony, it's not my fault none of your 1st party creations are memorable) and it seems like 2.2 GB is a popular size.

Btw, I have several of the 4 and 8GB cards. I just swap them out when I need to change games. If you aren't switching regions at the same time (regions are a multi-level PITFA on Vita) then all you have to do is re-authorize (or whatever) the games on the new card. Same goes for the TV, assuming the TV will actually run the Vita soft you want to play. It won't play Netflix or Oh Deer! but I think most things work.

i've got a 16GB memory card i'm not using, you're gonna have to format it though(nothing wrong with it, that's just how they work), how's about 23 bucks shipped? But if you're looking for something bigger, i'd recommend just sticking to something like 32 gigs, 64 gigs vita cards are very wonky and are more prone to failure, at least that's what i hear the people who use them say.

I got a brand new never been opened pro duo memory card at home. I'll find out the size, but I think its like 4gb and I'll sell it to you for cheap!

Pro Duos are what the PSP uses.  The Vita has its own proprietary (and overpriced) format.

How ridiculous. It's literally the same thing as a micro SD but a different shape. I bought an adapter for my PSP, but I don't know if they make one for the Vita.

Micro SD is so close in size, I don't see how it'd be possible to make an adapter.  Greedy Sony should just stop gouging people.

I have an 8GB since I just picked up a 16GB.  Hadn't really planned on selling it since homebrew is picking up but I could.

It's up to you. :)

I have another 8 Gig on its way but could always use another until I can afford a larger one.
