I can fill a 16GB with games I have waiting to play. God dammit Sony.

Don't other companies usually come out with cheaper memory cards soon after? Sony's are the ones that are always expensive. I wouldn't be worried.
Honestly, 64GB for $120 isn't that bad. But maybe I've just been poorly weathered to these things...
Only Vita uses these Memory Cards, you think Sony's going to license out that or have a monopoly on them?

Prob not. I can't compete with the OTs people put out these days
By the way, there is a new 16 minute video of some lads playing around with the OS here, from the London event:

VERY annoyingly they seem to be stubbornly avoiding trying out multitasking while a game is open/suspended. They close the game entirely before trying out other things.
FWIW, though, at the start Top Darts seems to be suspended, with a few other apps either open or in a suspended state themselves. But I would still like to actually see someone hopping from game to app etc. to get an idea of speed and how many or which apps can actually be opened without exiting the game.
Anyway, they look around a few different things. An empty PSN store, a near app that seems to have locked up, settings, an empty music player, the content manager (although they obviously couldn't connect to anything), the remote play app (again, couldn't connect to anything), and perhaps more interestingly, the web browser. They check out their own site and youtube. Don't actually try to play a youtube video. The initial page load speed IMO is not great. I hope that's a function of their net connection there rather than that pre-page-load pause you get on some devices :\
Also at the start you can see how hitting the power button while in a game suspends it, Turning it back on brings you to the lock-screen. Going back into the game is very fast.
They also look at the trophies app, which seems to also have activity feed for the player.
I hope you can customize those bubble things on the UI so that you can take ones out that you don't use. So if you want you can only have 2-3 bubbles and it won't take up that much room.
The way it's designed now looks fuuuugly, too many colors pictures faces etc. some customization would be nice.
Guys, I'm going crazy. I swear I saw 64GB...
I'm probably going to buy a 32GB card for $120 and cry so much.
oh i'll be buying the biggest size as well lol. i can't control myself with these things!

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Definitely getting 4 gig memory card, just for game saves.
I will update when the 32 or 64 gig memory card goes for reasonable prices.

I really hope someone releases an adapter that allows you to use a memory stick or SD card with the Vita.
Also, I don't get this... One of the reasons they used Memory Stick for the PSP was that you could just take out a memory card from a Sony camera and view your pictures on the amazing screen (at the time in 2005). I guess they just don't care anymore.

If Sony had the kind of mainstream appeal/die hard fans Apple has it would probably put all the stuff into 1 package as well (and bump the price up). But Sony has to be cautious with this thing and make it as cheap as possible for the device itself.

get the 3G bundle.
Holy shit. Definitely happy I decided to wait out the Vita. Waiting for that lime green one they showed at TGS that they'll never release
Prices for memory cards are ridiculous. I would like to buy some games off the store and download my psp games but there's no way I'll be able to with the 4gb one the value pack I'm getting comes with, and I'm definitely not buying a 32gb for over a hundred dollars.
Edit: Just looked back at the PS Blog post about the first edition bundles and saw that it was the 3G model ONLY in the bundle? That's so stupid. Especially considering Canada gets the bundle I'm sure most of us would want to get, for $299, instead of our $349 bundle. I had my mind set about what I was going to get, because I didn't realize it was the 3G model for the bundle.

sure you can, you just only be able to hold maybe 1 Vita games and 1 psp games. I'd say 8GB or 16GB is ideal. can probably hold 2 or 3 Vita games along with a few PSP games as well.
Yeah, Vita comes with an AC Adapter.
Canadian retailers have dropped the 3G model preorders, and the lack of it in the early adopter bundle has me convinced we aren't getting them at all.
it's on playstation.ca. canadians are getting the 3g model.

I end up owning a 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB for my PSP. thank god I can use those mem card for my digital camera or just as data storage. I think I'll go straight for 32 GB this time for Vita. Vita games should be bigger than PSP games anyway.
it's even faster than the XMB when pressing the PS button
i hope it's standardized... in some ps3 games calling the home button takes longer to load in some games than others.
I should be doing hw

With the amount of RAM the machine has, it shouldn't be a problem.
With those prices, I'll just get a 4GB and wait, those prices can't stay up there forever.

Well Gamestop here in Sweden is always more expensive than other bigger electronic stores so that you trade in your games for a cheaper price.

Loser slave of the system :(
What a disappointment, if true. Both the 3DS and now Vita were unveiled to overwhelming response only to shit the bed as they near launch.

Of course it is. The same real life where Vita cost $250 and not $400. Which would be the case if not for the accessories pricing.
The info that I have is that the update is going to be released in the summer of 2012.
Hmm, either big hands are big, or tiny buttons are tiny.
Can't wait to get my hands on one myself thoug!!
