I thought that. Now eyeing a 32GB.
I think my girlfriend has bought me one for my birthday. Problem is my birthday isn't until November and there a lot of big games between now and then

How many Vita games on average does a 16GB hold would you say?
And there are way too many games coming out. I figure swapping out games with my PS3 probably isn't that hard to do yeah? I'm kinda confused about that whole situation though...I'll figure it out eventually.
I thought I was happy with 32G.
now I'm anxiously waiting for 64g's arrival.
Man Vita is some kick ass movie player. anime on this thing is so good.

It really does look so good. My only gripe is how freaking small the on-screen buttons are. Let me use the buttons, not stupid touch crap!
The worst part about a potential ambassador program is that I'd probably already own all of the offered games =P
Hm, still doesn't work for me. What ever.
derp
If you're just putting PSN type games on it you should be fine. My problem is being mostly digital with my retail PSV games.
Switching between PS3 and Vita is fairly easy. Just download them on your PS3, hook your Vita up to it and transfer games to it. I've never done it, but i believe that's the way it works.

Yeah that's what I did with Gravity Rush. The thing I'm semi-confused about is backing up digital retail games and what I can/can't delete. I'm afraid of losing save data haha.
And on a 16GB card I could fit at least like 3 (ideally 4 or 5) retail digital vita games on there right? If backing up and restoring games through my PS3 isn't that time consuming that should fulfill my needs
You can back it all up - but atm save files are packed with the game as well so you have to backup both although there is a time-saving trick you can do if backing up to a computer.
4 retail games sounds about right if you are picking up a few psn/ps1/psp/mini games too.
It is time consuming
2 hours-ish for a fullbackup, around 10 minutes per game..maybe a bit less. It's not quick by any means..

Okay well that's....Okay that's pretty bad wow.
And when you say they're packed with the game do you mean backing up the game = backing up the game + save?
Apparently, the framerate in ZOE2 HD constantly drops to the 30s and even 20s.

Yeah you have to back up the whole game file at the minute - that will backup the save too as they are bundled together.
As for what you can fit on a 16GB, this is what i have
12 PSN games
6 full retail games
3 retail cart installs
6 Minis
2 PSOne games
4 "apps"
They're a little on the safe side - the estimates..you'll be able to get quite a lot of other digital titles on there too..
Yes that is what I meant..so it's not ideal for regular save backups unless you use a PC (for the cancellation trick to copy the save file)...I'm not sure if it is faster when overwriting though..

Okay cool, thank you for the answers guys. Definitely stocked to get my bigger memory card. But at the moment it looks like it's basically $60 wherever I look. Which is kinda a bummer
Bluepoint are busy working on Playstation Allstars Vita
They can multitask, can't they?!
Only half joking. :V
Are you in the US? It's $46 at Amazon.com
If Canada, I believe there is a 20% off everything sale at Shoppers in a few days -- you could get it then. It'd come to $48.
EDIT: also 15% off at futureshop.ca right now, apparently
Jesus...i hope i dont have to cancel my LE order because the port is shit. Because i will.

Well, at least that'll turn out well then.
Speaking of which, any direct feed screens or videos of the Vita version out?
Of what, AllStars? Not sure, there's been a Vita Beta about though, which was very nice.
even 10 fps

jehuty, in 10 fps
Hell, I'd take it. As long as it is just 10FPS dips (like during building destruction) and not a constant frame rate, I'd take it.
Jesus
Only the masters will be able to beat it at 1fps mode.

You might be onto something here!got told F2P games don't count by one guy*He responded!* and the other responded but ultimately got buried under the now talk.
That is such an awesome name.
And here's proof!
Faints!.....and Dino Crisis, too?!?! :O
HUG!
I've never played Earth Defense Force, so I have no interest in the Vita version =p
Oh no..is that game's framerate poor too? Was looking forward to that..

I'm in the US. Will definitely check out Amazon, I assume there's shipping attached to that too though. I've actually never gotten anything from them. I'm gonna give like eBay a peak too. Just to see.
Killing giant bugs is universal.
All EDF games have poor frame rates. It happens when tonnes of bugs swarm you while buildings simultaneously collapse around you. Like every single one dips, lol.
I think Amazon ships free over $25?

No EDF game has ever run well.
they're also pretty bad but that's aside
Looking at their past titles, I could never guess how ZOEHD is bad performance wise!

Oooh excellent! Thanks for the help. That much for 16GB isn't that bad I guess. I'm surprised other companies haven't made their own at cheaper prices...I always thought that was a thing that happened.
I remember trying it out a long time ago but barely remember it...the gameplay vids looked quite fun though and I had a similar idea for a game so I am curious to try it out still... do you know if it is usually a decent tradeoff? Like shitloads of bugs...or only a few and it starts to slow already...
There is no such thing as "only a few" in EDF. It's either all or nothing.
I must be some sort of record for all non-OT vita thread to diverge into the same arguments and jokes. Even when its a thread about a good vita announcement. Vita is dead and has no games jokes were funny for the first couple of threads. The once in a while portbegging in vita semi-/exclusive game threads are also starting to get on my nerves.
