You can find 32GB for $60 or so on warehouse deals from amazon once and a while. I ordered one months ago and for some reason they sent me two. Sold the other to a CAG.

How can that be a reasonable price when a usb 32gb drive costs $20?

Has anyone filled or nearly filled their 32 GB card yet? Is 32 GB big enough? I bought an 8 GB and filled it instantly. With all the games on PSN Sony should be selling a 64 GB already.

Because USB drive been around a long time and Vita memory card been out for a few months?

Thanks for this information, I had no idea they released this patch. I'm surprised this was out a month ago and this is the first I'm hearing about it, but I guess I shouldn't be since I don't frequent gaming sites other than this one as often as I used to.

My 32 is about filled up and that's with 3 full PS vita games (MGS HD, Uncharted, New Little Kings Story). 7 physical games, and a combination of 45-50 PSP/Minis/Psone games.

I am considering buying a Vita bundle that comes with a 4 GB card (such as the Assassins Creed bundle). I can't ever see myself buying any retail release as a digital version because I am cheap and will wait until the retail version price drops for most games (also, I hate not being able to re-sell/trade in something that I paid for). I know there are still some titles that are digital only that I will want, but I assume most of those titles are smaller in size. Is a 4 GB enough for my needs or am I better off not getting a bundle and buying a larger card seperately.

All of the digital only titles that I can think of are pretty small in size but many of the demos are full size (buying the game just unlocks like on the ps3). So a 4gb card is fine if you just plan on playing demos and deleting them afterwards but not so good if you want to actually download and keep games on the card.

I got the launch 3g/wifi bundle when it launched the week early but if I were to buy another one I'd just get a wifi stand alone version and then games and a >8gb card separately. It is a great handheld for anyone that travels. Its 1000000 times better than phone games and offers a different experience than the 3ds, closer to what you get on the PS3 or 360. Plus, trophy hunting is a lot of fun knowing it accumulates with your PS3 trophies/level.

I advise anyone who can afford it to get the 32GB. It makes the Vita a lot more convenient. I have New Little King's Story, half a dozen PSP games, and almost two dozen PSOne games on mine.

Still contend with the 4gb one... Going to wait a bit for cheaper or bigger card. Personally, I think the Vita is a great piece of hardware, LBP is a lot of fun!

20% off isn't bad, but $80 for a 32gb is still a tough sell. I hope we get some Black Friday deals on memory cards because I've got a 4 gb and MAN it is not working out well for me. I can get a 16gb for $30, but really want that 32gb. I've got like 30 PSN/Minis and 12 PSP games and while I don't want to load them all up, I still want to have a decent amount on there.

Contemplating about getting this... I think I'll wait until next month though.

Gotta escape from my 4GB card...
Nowhere near enough...

I got extremely lucky and got a brand new 32 GB $60 (free shipping) on ebay. You can get them cheap if you are willing to put the work and find what's out there ebay and amazon warehourse deals are great. Also look for CAG's that are selling their Vita stuff.

I would get the Assassin's Creed Bundle. Actually I was thinking about selling my 3G Vita to get this bundle. The white PS Vita looks so beautiful!

On topic. Yes it is still expensive, and if you must to pay shipping or tax, it will be even more expensive. Let's wait for Black Friday! (:

It already hit this price 2 or 3 times online. GS has refurbs for these prices on some & the 32 GB is always $81.XX @ walmart which AMZ matches when they're not cheaper or matchiing the current BB deal. When the 100% BB trade in comes back just flip stuff from GS & pm the walmart deal you'll be out $40ish.

60 bucks or bust on a 32GB for me. I'll make my 8 work until then.

Even though MK is a crappy port (graphically), it's still a lot of fun. I just wish Sony realized that hacks / mods didn't really kill the PSP. Crappy games killed the PSP. The very existence of homebrew and emulators probably sold way more units than they ever would have if the system were locked. My main disappointment on the Vita so far is the same one I had w/ the PSP. That is the promise of "Remote Play". I'm still waiting for the day that full remote play is possible on ANY title.

No piracy did kill the PSP. It sold a lot of units b/c of modding but it also lost a lot of game support from developers b/c everyone just pirated their games on it.

I had a Vita and was disappointed by it. I ended up selling it and now I have a 3DS and don't regret it. The Vita had no games at the time and still doesn't have games that I really want to play. Even the games coming out aren't that impressive.

I'll get a Vita when I can get it for $140 or less. Whether that be from a price drop or used.

Also, here is my personal list of the PSP's best games. It did have a lot of great games. Though these games didn't sell in the millions, they were still the systems best and easily 8 / 10's and up.

Beats, Brave Story: New Traveler, Burnout Legends, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy, Daxter, Disgaea 1 and 2, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, DJ Max Portable (series), Hot Shots Golf (series), Final Fantasy (remakes / series), flOw, Guitaroo Man Lives!, God of War (series), Grand Theft Auto (series), Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure, Jeanne d'Arc (one of the best strategy RPG's I've ever played. Among my top 25 games of all time), Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, LocoRoco (series), Lumines (series), Me & My Katamari, Monster Hunter (series), MotorStorm: Arctic Edge, Patapon (series), PixelJunk Monters Deluxe, Ridge Racer, Pursuit Force (series), Secret Agent Clank, Syphon Filter (series), Tokobot, Wipeout (series) and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.

I wonder what coupons I can stack to get the 32GB for cheaper.

Would bite on a 16gb, but I cant really justify it with an 8gb I got for 10$ and fits quite a few of my downloads. If they go over 50% off I'll be in

A bit OT but maybe someone can help. I have Madden (digital version). Is there a way to turn the replays, etc. off? The lag from the extra non-gameplay stuff makes the games take forever.
