PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

First off let me say 64GB is way more than enough space for the Vita. I have literally all my vita games on this card, OVER 35 FULL VITA TITLES!!! and thats not even counting all the indie games, ps1 games,and psp games. The only reason I knocked the product down 1 star is because sony really is charging a lot for these. With that being said It feels great having all my Vita titles right on the system and not having to worry about space and missing cartridges. In Summary its definitely a great buy for those who download lots of titles to their Vitas

One of the biggest downfalls of Sony and their many mobile devices is that they often try to rely upon their own proprietary media formats. This has almost ALWAYS failed for them and the PlayStation Vita memory card is no exception. Instead of using the widely accepted SD format, Sony created this card for the system. Its very difficult to find these cards at a reasonable price, even for a VERY small amount of memory (microSD cards can be had for very cheap with large amounts of memory). And the fact that the Vita is practically useless without one is beyond frustrating. We can hope that eventually Sony will learn that forcing their own media down the throats of consumers and will use standard formats, but until then youll be shelling out $80 for a 64GB card like this.

The PS Vita is a system that is no longer supported by its manufacturer as well as it was when it was new but one thing that has always stayed the same throughout the lifetime of the system is it’s storage carts. They have always stayed the same price for the most part across their respective capacities and although they may seem more expensive then more traditional storage mediums they get the job done and I’m very glad to have picked up this to maximize my storage to its highest capacity.

I thought I could use my PSVita as my sole entertainment device going aboard - so like using (any) smartphone. So buy some memory expansion and fill it with media! The first hurdle is to understand the very willful and awkward way how to transfer content to the device, Once figured out you will see yourself confronted with an hour long transfer time and a progress bar stuck at 5s. This is caused by the slow class 2 memory device speed of this memory module. (For comparison: Standard memory cards are Class 10). But then you learn the worst by wasting a lot of time: No matter how you do it, you can only fit 4000 media pieces on the device. So say good bye to your idea of using the space for all your audio books and music. So after many attempts to use this awkward program, you will give up, format the memory card, create a new folder on the computer and copy the 4000 media pieces you mostly want into. Then you will use the media manager to select all and copy everything - since no one wants to check individually 4000 items on the tiny PSVITA screen. After spending then many hours you look at your system info and can be proud that you have used 1/3rd of your new memory card - leaving 2/3rds free for other purposes! Only what could that be? Using your UV movie collection? Does not work. Buying expensive old movies from Sony to watch on this tiny screen? No. Games? Oh wait - they come as memory modules. Soo... why didnt you buy 32GB or even only 16GB? Honestly - I dont know. So let me summarize: - You pay more then 4 times more than an ordinary SD card - You get less then 1/5th of the transfer speed of an ordinary SDcard - You can only fill the device with 4000 media files leaving the device 2/3rds empty. - You will spend lots of time doing so since the transfer is really awkward and checking of 4000 check boxes is no fun - Finally you end up with a lot of unusable memory. I am very sorry to say, but it appears that this is only half thought through and mainly made from a greedy company. What happened to the great Sony company? I will return this since for a failed experiment this is far too much money.

A little pricey, but this is the best option for your PS Vita, especially if youre looking to do a lot of digital downloads from the PSN store. It will be able to store most of your gaming and media needs with some room to spare. Previously I had purchased an 8 gb card when I bought the Vita, but that quickly filled up, so I was looking for something with a little bit more memory and this was the biggest option they had. I transported all of my files and savegames from my other memory card via Sonys own memory transfer program that works on both Mac and PC, and now I dont have to worry about using up all my space. Like I said, the price is a little on the high side for a memory card, and Sony sucks you in with their specific Vita memory cards, but if you use your Vita a lot, this one is a no-brainer.

I really like this product. Nothing special just your typical sd card. It has 60gb free data which I used immediately to hold all of my games XD. My favorite part of my purchase was the little thank you card that came with the package. It put a massive grin on my face ^-^.

Still on my PS Vita since the day I bought it. Great product.

If we overlook the fact that the price is far too high for a 64 gb card and just review it on its merits, this card is great. The fact is if you own a vita, you need a memory card and the 64gb card is the largest and the the cheapest in terms of dollars/gb. If you own a vita and have playstation+, you want to have a lot of space for all those vita games that come with it. Some games can be quite large and if you hate swapping data like I do, a 64 gb card will do the trick. Note that the packaging is all in Japanese, but vitas are not region locked, so it works fine in a US vita.

This card works like a charm. I have a the new slim model, and i sold the 8gb card that came in my bundle, and put that money towards this one. I bought a 64gb card from simply order out of California and the card came in a few days and I didnt have to pay any kind of VAT or Import tax. I would highly suggest this card to anyone who is new to Vitas. I currently have about 40 games from PS+ and the three that I bought loaded onto this memory card. It makes my Vita truly portable. I never have to lug around a case full of games. I dont even have to swap a card in and out to play a different game. They are all loaded into my vita already! Physical media needs to go by the wayside. Cons: Not sold in the USA, except by resellers on amazon. It could be even bigger! Expensive proprietary memory card. Pros: Extremely reliable because it is proprietary, stores about 60GB worth of real data, for me that has meant more than 40 games. Pairs well with online purchases from the PSN store.

As you might already know sony has only released this card in japan and needs to release it stateside. The 32 gb card only holds 29.9 gb while this cars only holds 59gb but combined with a vita slim which comes with an extra 1gb thats a full 60gb combined total memory and already almost filling up 2 - 32 gb cards which much be switched out after powering off the vita you swap cards though if youve already got the oled display vita and get a borderlands2 vita slim and put a 64 gb card in each youll be good for a long time. HIGHLY recommended for digital downlods vs chip games if all you have is chip games and no dl games 1 of these should hold all your save data for those physical games.
