My understanding is that saving your game does not require a card.  I can't remember, but I'm inclined to say you can save on the card like a regular cartridge game.  I think there was supposed to be built in memory for saving, but I think that was scrapped to hack a bit at the price or something.  But I'm 99.999999999999% sure that you don't NEED an extra card to save on.  The card is more for digital games.

edit-AHA, got this off the Wiki...assuming it's true "PSVita memory cards will be available in size from 4 GB to 32 GB, with 4 GB versions available at launch, with 5–10% of the writeable space will be reserved for save data, patches, etc"

via Magic Box:

Sony announced that Netflix streaming service will be available on PlayStation Vita, on time with the North American launch on Feb 22. AT&T also announced two data plans for PS Vita, $14.99 for 250MB/month and $24.99 for 2GB/month, both plans do NOT require a contract.

my 3DS is covered in spiderwebs on my desk.  The spider is getting more use than I did, so I left him to flail around on it.

sometimes he sits on the start button and taunts me.

Well, now I am kinda pissed off.  I preordered the First Edition Bundle, and was really excited for the Vita.  Then they announced that all of the 3G launch systems (not first edition) will come with a 8GB memory card for free, yet the First Edition which is $50 more will come only with a somewhat useless 4GB card.  If they were going to throw in the 8GB with the normal 3G system, the least they could've done is throw in a 8GB with the First Edition Bundle.

Anyone else upset about this?

That totally blows.  What about cancelling the preorder and preordering the other one?

I will go to the store and do that.  They should've just gave both 3G models a 8GB card.

I think they expect you to collect the first model, and store so that in 70 years you can show it off, and talk about when you pre-ordered another handheld then sell it off for a couple hundred dollars, or fifty thousand space bucks. Something like that.

No.  If you didn't like the bundle and price, why did you buy it?

No.  If you didn't like the bundle and price, why did you buy it?

When I preorded the bundle, it was the best priced, because of the value of the included items.  Then Sony changed the bundles right before the release, making mine no longer the best value.  I actually went to EB and changed my preorder today though, because I was not going to get stuck with less for more money.

Although the price stayed the same on the First Edition, the bundle was worth less 2 days ago than it was prior to that point.  It would be like if I sold you a piece of gold at $1,800 and oz. because it was there 3 months ago.  Even though the physical item is the same, it no longer has the same value.

Is anyone who is getting a Vita still getting the First Edition?  Conversely, is anyone still getting Wi-Fi model, since the 3G is juiced with some many extras that the upgrade is now basically free?

I see the Vita doing the same thing the PSPs and PSP Go did. Too much going on for anyone to really use it. I enjoy my 3DS. Res Evil is coming out in 7 days so ill be busy until Kid Icarus hits.
