Deal is Dead

On Yardsellr a user has a 32GB Memory Card for $54.95 + free shipping.

I've used Yardsellr to order this 8GB memory card some guy had posted for $7, and I can say that it is definitely a site to check around from time-to-time. Although Facebook being required to access the offers, it isn't bad at all. You even end up with discounts from the Photon points that you receive randomly. So if you have interest, check it out!

Still $40 too expensive, especially so after Nintendo's recent Wii-U announcement of universal memory compatibility.

Hmmm... tempting. Very tempting.

This is so tempting.

How much would I be able to sell my 16 GB for?

This is Why I didn't buy a Vita.

What the does this even mean, lol. The PS3 comes standard with an HDD and is cheaper than the wii u.

It means the recent announcement just shined the spotlight on Sony's greed and terrible business decisions. It has nothing to do with piracy.

They had so many people hooked on getting a Vita, but have since proceeded to do everything in their power to convince people otherwise.

Even 32 gb isn't very viable when FF7-9 are 4 gb each and developers are pushing all of their games to PSN out of fear of lack of consumer support.

Q.Q I dont disagree
I used 12GB already only by games.

(Tatic ogre, valk 2, FF7, Soundshape, project diva 2.5gb, ragnarok 1gb , gundam seed 1gb and other shitty installation)

Jesus ing Christ, exaggerate much? Absolutely NONE of the FF games you mentioned are even CLOSE to being 4GB a piece.

While I do agree that Sony's proprietary memory cards are pretty overpriced, when you compare them to say that of a micro SD card, I don't think the price needs to drop as steep as you previously stated.

FFVII was only 3 discs, which topped out would be in the neighborhood of 2.1GB.
FFVIII was 4 discs, so around 2.8GB.
I don't remember IX, but 3 discs again I think.

So, no, 4GB each is a vast exaggeration. Besides, 32GB for $100? I paid $75 for 512MB back at the PSP launch for a MS Pro Duo -- on sale no less.

If Sandisk or one of the other memory companies were making licensed memory (like on the PSP), that would probably bring the price down. TBH, these are launch prices and will remain stupid until they learn to cut costs. It took over a year for MS Pro Duo prices to become reasonable and I don't see why it wouldn't happen again.

Also, Wii U =/= value with a $175 controller and two SKUs for no reason. If their digital distribution is still as terrible as it has been on the DS and Wii, then having all the cheap storage in the world means nothing if you don't want to use it.

Holy GOD! I dont own a Vita nor have I had much interest in one, but this $55 for 32GB is considered a DEAL??

Just for your info my 32gig hold a ton of games: 15 ps1 games (including ff7, xenogears, sotn, & wing commander), two full vita games (vt4 & ngblack),seven psp games (including persona 1-3 & fftactics), seven psn games, three minis, and a ton of saves from physical games. Even with all that I still have 10gigs of free memory left over. Yeah 32g is absolutely viable for gaming.

Man, I got all excited until I saw that it was used.

Do none of you own FF7,8,9 on PSN? Each of those games is under 2 GB.

FF9 is 1.5, FF8 is 1.8, and FF7 is 1.3.

How are these games running on the Vita, btw? I noticed they don't have them expressly listed under the Vita part of the store, so I got the impression that they weren't compatible just yet. I'm talking about Xenogears, FF9, and SOTN, specifically.

I sure wish I could get a larger card to carry around enough games to keep me busy, and I wish the Vita had actual games to play. Oh wait, it does.

The only time 32GB would seem small would be carrying around a months worth of music, 720p video where you could get 8-10 hours on the card. But if you want to play games, you'll have more than enough room.

Oos?

Apples and Oranges.

Sony is selling proprietary memory cards at a premium to make up for having to sell the vita at a loss due to the current technology that had to be developed for the system.

Nintendo is letting you use any memory you like but selling you 5-7 year old technology because this old technology allows them to shine up an old turd and sell it at a profit out the gate.

Bought two 32gb Vita card for $65 each from Newegg When i picked the system up in march off Ebay for Cheap (First Edition Bundle)

Got another for my DAD for $110 Brand New in the box from a guy off craigslist.....

I set both Vita's to my PSN account that me and my dad share.

Me and him are able to Share any game bought off the PSN store. The digital route has saved me a ton of money.

I want Madden, He wants Madden...39.99 x 2?

No just download it for 35.99 once and we both get it.

Vita is great couldn't say a bad thing about it now that it's plays PS1 classics.

I can play Vita Games, PSP Games, PS1 Games, Minis, PS2 Games through Remote Play, Or my emulators
