Alternatewarning Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 My current memory card is basically full which means A) I own digital games I can't even look at and B ) I can't play Kyoto Winds once I get it. Both of these are horrible things. Any advice on where to pick up a vita card? Amazon seems to have the best (awful) price but I don't know if there are any gold mines out there I don't know about. I'm looking to pick up a 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einigkeit Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've been waiting for a sale/clearance on a 32GB for a while myself. Play-Asia has them for roughly the same price as Amazon after you add shipping costs, and Amazon.jp is the same - again, because of shipping costs. You might have some luck on eBay, but whenever I've looked it's been roughly the same there, too. I may eventually bite the bullet and pony up the $60-70, but I won't be happy about it.

Cake Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I pretty much just broke open the piggy bank & got mines from play-asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I also got my most recent memory card from Play-Asia. The 32GB card was cheaper on there than it was on Amazon if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omarbanzai Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I bought mine too on Amazon, around 70€ if memory serves well (32Gb). I couldn't find a better deal on other websites, so I went with the most trustworthy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Yuki Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I got mine on Play-Asia as Amazon was more expensive than I thought. Maybe there's a discount of Prime members but I don't use Amazon enough for that. Although if you know someone that has it, it might be worth asking as some prices are cheaper for Prime members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegirlruka Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Amazon, play-asia, and amiami are your best bets, but they're still expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannibal_Sister Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I buy mine used from EB Games (Canada's Gamestop). 16GB is priced around $29.99, 8GB is $14.99, and a 4GB is $7.95. 16 tends to be harder to find but your 4 and 8 are pretty common. Honestly just grabbing a 4gb to tide you over may do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opikal Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I noticed they have SDtoVita adapters on eBay now. Says they need custom firmware though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only works for 3.60, and would mean jailbreaking (I believe). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I got a 32gb not too long back when I picked up another preowned Vita and the guy surprised me and was nice enough to throw that in there for free without mentioning. Thought they guy might have forgot, but he later said he knew it was in there and rathered I have it than trade it to EB for like 5 bucks. Anyway, other than that, 16gb bundles were a thing not too long back. I got the missus a 16gb with a bunch of Lego digital games for about 30 bucks a couple years back. 32gb didn't really get put in any bundles and as such, never had as many deals up for it, which is shit but it is what it is. EB here want 68 for a PREOWNED 32gb card, that's some bullshit yo. Best bet is what others have already said, look into a cheap one online, go prewowned if you don't mind, it's only a memory card anyway, I can be a bit skeptical with preowned discs and covers and consoles and controllers and all of it, but the memory card just sits in the machine and rarely gets taken out, preowned is probs a good call. If a 16gb would float your boat, I'd throw you my spare since it's not really doing anything since I got the 32gb, already had another 16er in the PSTV too.

I never thought of looking for one bundled with a game, that's not a bad idea. And I was wondering about a preowned memory card, I wasn't sure if it would mess up games/trophies. It it doesn't, though, I'm going to keep my eye on the preowned price just for the sake of cash. I mean, if you have a 16 you don't want I'll gladly take it off your hands since my collection of digital VN's I can't play since I have no memory card is only growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eigen-space Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 If you're willing to do some search offline... Pawn shops or other places that buy/sell/trade dvds/games/books sometimes have them. I got a used 16gb for $20 at a place called Half Price Books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they're long gone and almost all you'll find are at obnoxious prices, at least in Europe. Even with the usual corruption issues that can arise a 32GB or even better a 64GB memory cards are the best option. Usually the 64GB one is a better deal as the price is not much higher than the 32GB, well under twice the price of the 32GB one. You'll have to source them from Japan, as they're sold out elsewhere for ages. Even if you find an american or euro supplier selling them, they were imported from Japan anyway. You can also buy a second hand memory card, but only do it from a reputable source (Amazon probably), to avoid potential disappointments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, one finally went "on sale" a while ago so I grabbed a 64 I think. Still way too expensive but I was finally able to download all the games I'd bought so it was good.

RadiantFlamberge Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Amazon has 64 GB cards for about $81-90. Not too bad compared to what 2 32's would cost. I'm using a 64 in my Vita. No corruption issues with mine yet (what a terrifying thought, sure hoping this doesn't happen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
