Official PS Vita Memory Cards Priced for US

It's too expensive...

Why isn't a decently-sized card included with each system? I hated that when I bought my PSP, and I still don't understand it. If it's essential to actually use the thing, the card should be included in the price.

Yep. $119 will probably equate to between £89 and £99 here in the UK. I'll be going straight for the 32GB card.

Too expensive is right. I'll be going for the First Edition, so I'll get the Card included. But still, if I ever need another one...yikes...

I was planning on the 32GB card, though at these prices I'll have to settle for 16GB at launch. I was expecting it to come in at $100, though I shouldn't expect as much from Sony

I'm going to stick it out with the 8gb for awhile and hope for a price drop so I can bag a couple of 32gb cards later.

These high - mandatory - prices for the cards do stink though!

I reckon these prices could just be placeholders; it's not uncommon for retailers to stick up high prices at first, see the competition undercuts them significantly and react accordingly. Also good marketing to say "we've cut the price of our Vita memory cards by 40%!"

Holy Moly!

The largest card I ever had for my PSP was a 4gb and it was primarily due to the price.

will be going for the 32GB card but not in México because it will cost three times the dollar price

Hahaha! I knew the Vita wasn't going to be that cheap! Especially because of these neccesary extremely overpriced memory cards! I beleive we've been duped by another one of $$$ony's pricing plans. We'll see how this plays out.

So much for being the same price as a 3DS. You essentially need to spend $320 for a Vita, full game and memory card when you can get the same for 3DS for about $199. Geez...

Too expensive for me. I will still get a Vita, but I'm going to give it a few years until Sony sorts this out.

I think that the Vita love affair is over. Sony may be shooting itself in the foot with those high memory prices. I am really looking forward to owning a PS Vita but the high memory prices have placed me on the fence for now. I will now be taking a wait and see attitude and will watch and see how things develop. Who knows, maybe after a year or so I can by a Vita at a much lower price than I would otherwise get is I buy one right away. Memory may become much cheaper as well.

This is ridiculous.

I'd hope these cards are made by 3rd parties so I can get them cheaper. Then again, by the time I get a Vita, the cards should be cheaper when they realize it's priced waaay too high. I can get a 1TB hard drive for my WiiU for less than $100, even. Are they using these prices to recover from losses spent on Vita? Otherwise, I don't see any reason why it's priced this much. Sony always overcharges their accessories and this is not the only time- especially when these things are pretty mandatory

That is just way too expensive. If I do get the Vita I am going to stick with the pack-in memory card until those prices drop. I am starting to reconsider my plans for purchasing a Vita at launch.

i'm not getting one until a year or two down the road. I'm happy with my 3DS. Those memory cards are just too expensive for me.
