Those goddamned memory cards are exactly why I won't be buying this system at launch. I can afford a memory card, but I sure as fuck won't be supporing that bullshit.
Oh, memory cards. They just cost money, no big deal, right? I mean, this is Sony we're talking about.
I'd like one, but if Sony were serious about selling them, they wouldn't have pulled the proprietary memory card bullshit.
I care about games, but Vita is asking my PC to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to storing them. Its going to come out more expensive than a Kindle Fire but with 8gb less on-board memory and no SD card support which a Kindle Fire has.
Personally, I want an iPad to go with my iPhone what with that iCloud stuff and all. Does Vita offer cloud storage for my games even? No>
So the Vita has no internal memory, which Nintendo, Android and Apple devices have
It has no SD card support, which Nintendo and Android have. And no cloud storage, which Apple has.
I love games, I like to carry several at a time. I don't like, however, being charged an arm and a leg to store those game AGAIN or convert my old games to digital.
Making games easy and accessible from the get-go seems to be something Vita is completely incapable of. Seriously, memory card saves for flash media - are you high, Sony?
Vita is rushing to market more incomplete than the 3DS ever was and considering 3DS has pretty much recovered from its launch at this point, being several steps behind even Nintendo is not a good place to be.

I'll buy the version with at least 64Gb of Space with additional capacity for cards with the disk drive still in it... not happening I guess...
Massively appealing? Yeah I dont think that a company which quite frankly, has struggled in the handheld space since it entered it is going to win the hearts of gamers with proprietary memory cards which are crazy expensive. I find the vita intriguing but the cost of entry is too high for me.
I don't like being a typical gamer defined by others.
Just to rebel I won't get a Vita. Take that Sony.

Sony, you had me all hot and sweaty with all that foreplay. Thankfully before I went balls deep in some tasty vita, you had the class to let me know about some "issues"that I needed to know about before really getting down to the business.
Maybe with revision 2 you could just be reasonable and let people use a standard format memory stick.

I'll be all over this when there's an adapter to slip a micro SD card into Vita's memory card slot.
I get the message here, though. Vita is getting multiplatform releases from current gen systems - that's pretty huge!

Arttemis-- apparenty, the vita's card is relatively the same in size as a micro SD; no adapter will be coming to save us.
Unless there was a micro-micro SD. Somebody get on that.

I'm sure we can still look forward to third party knock offs in a few months. Madcatz PSV memory cards ftw.
I kinda have to disagree with Sony. While I do think that Vita is an impressive high-tech device, for me it misses the point of mobile gaming. Would you play games like Skyrim on a handheld? I'd rather play it on a home console, on a huge screen with surround sound in a rather long sessions. Aren't handhelds supposed to serve gamers as pick up and play in short bursts? And where's online play over 3G? Even iPad/iPhone can easily do it.
I REALLY WANT A PS VITA BUT SINCE JIM IS REALLY MAD ABOUT THE MEMORY CADS, I WON'T BUY A VITA BECAUSE FUCK THE POLICE! THAT'S HOW THE INTERNET WORKS BABY!
I think what people aren't realizing about the Vita is that it contains some damn expensive technology. It doesn't have onboard memory to keep the console itself affordable, anything they added would have jacked up the price. What do you think is an easier sell for your new console, a unit that costs $250 with no memory or one that costs $350 with it? Putting one definitive size Hard Drive in the thing would make the console wayyy too expensive upfront and deter buyers. Releasing models with different size Hard Drives would be expensive for Sony and confuse their consumers.
On the topic of SD cards, they developed their own format because of money and speed. If they used standard SD cards, they would have to pay more while we pay less as consumers, that isn't how you turn a profit. I personally wish they would have just let the thing use their Memory Stick Duo, but they claim the upgrade is due to speed. How much of a difference that truly makes will be seen in time, but for now new technology comes at a price. It has ALWAYS been this way people, companies are in the business of turning a profit.
All I'm saying is that it seems like some of you need to think in a business sense before you lash out against a company. If you think the memory cards are too expensive, wait until the price drops! Every "new" piece of technology comes at a premium, that's just the way it is. That doesn't mean you should complain that you'll NEVER buy one because of the price on day one. You sound like a complete child, knock it off.

I don't see how people are surprised about that stupid memory card crap. The original PSP had the exact same deal.
"it can play music, if you want to drop 100-200 bucks for an upgrade from the 256 / 512 MB card to a whatever GB card."
They've done it before, and like Big N, they refuse to learn from their mistakes. Just wait for the 2nd Gen Vita rebranding where they fix most of the stupidity.
Lastly, in a day and age where you can get multiple terabytes of storage in a HDD for a $100 bucks, and 32 GB flats drives for half that, expecting anyone to pay as much as they're asking for a data storage medium is damn near consumer fraud, and certainly consumer abuse.

I care about games and I will be getting the Vita. For me The upcoming lineup of games is impossible to ignore.
Between the Vita's cloud storage,PS3 storage,and Media Go PC storage, I'm hoping I can get away with buying a smaller 4-8GB memory card.
If not I'll trade in my 360 dust collector towards a larger card ;)

If Sony cared about gamers, they'd have a strong lineup of games (and obv not be pulling the memory card bullshit). Personally, the 3DS had a better lineup. The only thing the Vita has going for me is the possibility of streaming DARK SOULS on it, but I'm not going to spend over 400 fucking dollars to do so. Fuckng asshats.
Considering I only have one hand I won't be playing the Vita :( I hope they do come out with a Vita go...
@madmatt213
Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Wipeout, Modnation, Gravity Rush.
All on day one, does that seem weak?
Oh wait, you're definitely right mate. Monkey Ball, Pilotwings, Street Fighter, Rayman, and Ghost Recon were much better looking titles. They were certainly worth the money too!

What are you talking about "it doesn't have cloud storage." You can delete anything you've downloaded on PSN and re downloaded either through the store or from your download history. You won't have to store anything on your PC.

Seriously, it's things like the Vita that keep me buying Sony stuff. It's aimed right at me, right between my eyes, is EXACTLY what I want from a portable gaming device.
Just like the PSP was before it.
No bullshit, no casual focus, no fucking looking for new markets or watering shit down. Aiming at the core gamers, giving them the games they want in portable flavour.
I want console type games, massive RPG's, realistic racers and online shooters - IN MY POCKET!
I'm still playing my 3rd PSP to this day. I wore one right out, i gave another to my pal (Who is currently LOVING Monster Hunter) and i now play my GO.
i don't care how it sold, it was my dream gaming device... until i played a Vita!!
What's even better is that i have almost all of my games as DD, on my PS3, ready to be installed on the Vita because i've been using the go for a year now.
Anything older than that i don't really care about anyway. Played it, done with it.

I'll wait for some more games and cheaper memory cards thanks. The first time I bought a PSP burnt me so hard so I'll avoid that.
gonna have to bite for that sexy 32GB. Already have ModNation Vita, UMvC3, and a fuckload of PSN PSP games ready to clear off my backlog. GET HYPE!
Yeah well I was going to get it day one but Im a student, cant afford to buy that memory can on top of it

"Arttemis-- apparenty, the vita's card is relatively the same in size as a micro SD"
They are the same size of standard SD Cards.
An adapter is still a possibility. I hope it ether happens by a 3rd party or Sony wises up and release one themselves.

If it wasn't for the fact that I already wasn't interested in the PSVita, the memory card price tags were just helping it dig the grave. I guess I don't care about video games anymore.
If there is one thing that has irked me about Sony is their attitude that they are so unbelievably awesome and you should pay whatever price they name to join their club.
I can afford the membership Sony, but your attitude will eventually drive me away.

Birdmayn, I'm almost 100% certain only Uncharted is a launch title.
Also," if you don't have a Vita yet, what's wrong with you?" Is what I got out of this.

I'll make do with the cheapest memory card possible and just wait until knockoffs and Amazon get some cheaper cards to expand a bit. No need to drop so much on the 32GB card.
@KingSigy
The Vita has plenty that the PS3 doesn't have. Your statement is the equivalent of calling the 3DS a portable Wii which is, all in all, an ignorant statement.

No, Uncharted, Wipeout, ModNation, and Gravity Rush are launch titles in the EU so they're most likely launch titles in NA too. There are more like Escape Plan and Little Deviants too.
