Question about Vita memory cards


Recommended Posts

If I get the vita what size memory card would I need for all the games that get included with PSN+? Some of the games look interesting and I want to play them, but while the cost of the console seems ok the memory is pretty high and has kept me timid from diving in.

Honestly I would get at least the 16GB one. I personally got the 32 GB one, although crazy in price, and I am glad I did. But to give you an idea, Uncharted alone is 2.7 GB. So the 4GB card would get you 1 Uncharted plus some smaller games.

Amazon currently has the 32GB on sale for $82. That is almost 25% off it's normal price of $100.

you can get the 32gb for $79.99 and free shipping directly from sony on ebay http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f169e32e4

they also have the 16gb for $47.99 http://www.ebay.com/...=item3a735aaa9e

but i would definitely get the 16 or 32, I got the 8gb memory card when i got my vita and it's full right now :/ I don't even have that many games

even that 32GB card will fill up fast. remember, it formats to 29GB. once you download some full-size games, it'll fill up fast. from what i've downloaded, games range from 1-3GB. if you start filling it up w/ movies, tv shows or music, obviously you'll want to get the 32GB card.

I've got both the 32GB and a 16GB card that I'm keeping for spare in case, but Sony have recently added wireless connectivity to a PC using the Content Manager which makes it a lot easier to backup and restore downloaded games without needing to keep them on your Vita at all times.

The Vita is certainly a great buy if you want a decent experience on the move. Also with a few cross buy games out already you may already have a collection waiting for you to download.

So I am kinda liking the deal at Gamestop where I can get a vita for $180 used with a free 1 year warranty. Should I avoid a used one? I look at the bundles and yeah I would like AC3:L but I would need a bigger memory card and this seems like a good deal. It is a 3g/wifi combo and looks in pretty good shape. I have a stack of games I might trade in as well since I can get 50% extra for trading towards the vita,

So I bought it, besides Black Ops do any games have a active multiplayer community?

ugh, I heard the Black Ops game for the vita is atrocious

anyway, actually answering your question, most of the vita games with multiplayer seem pretty active from my experience

What are the good ones?

Looks like you already have wipeout which is good, also if you like fighters you could grab the PS3 version of PSA:BR which comes with the Vita version for free, with cross play it allows you to fight against PS3 players too so the community on that is pretty healthy right now.

Have to admit I've not done too much online with my Vita, but I do love Need For Speed, which with the online it keeps all the leaderboards updated (also against PS3 friends) and I believe it has 4 player online on the Vita.

I think I am getting PSA for Christmas, I hope they do more of the dual pack thing with PS3/Vita games. I have heard a lot of good stuff about this need for speed. The original most wanted has remained my favorite throughout the years.

NFSMW is probably my favorite overall game on the Vita as far as bang for the buck and enjoyment. What is also cool is it ties in with the retail game on the PS3 (it is not a cross play, have to buy each game seperately) but any experience points I get on either version carries over to the other version, but not progress. So on the PS3 version I am only like 22% complete on the SP, but already have every Most Wanted race unlocked waiting for me, since I got so far on the Vita version. That is a pretty slick little feature. I would have no doubt preferred though buying the PS3 version and also getting the Vita version, even if they charged an extra $10-$20. But it is a great game for the Vita, no doubt.

When I had my vita the 8GB card was simply not enough. Now that PS1 classics are working it would be even more of a nightmare for me at 8GB.

Next year when I get another Vita I'll definitely try to snag a 32GB in the sale. The prices of the cards is utterly painful though, wish the Chinese would somehow clone them :p

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
