I wanted to know what the general size of the vita's expansion people are hopping on. I ordered the Wifi only Vita with 16 gigs of expansion, what about you guys? Also, if you ordered the 3g version, state it below, so far I have not read about one person pre-ordering the 3g variety and wanted to know exactly how rare such person is.

wifi only with the biggest memory card. I didn't pay for it, so...

See no use for 3g for myself. I'm only gonna be playing it sitting at home on my couch. I don't travel very much these days, live 5-10 minutes from work that I drive to...no need.

Wifi with the 16GB card. I'd get the 32GB one, but they're not selling that in the UK, so I have to get the 16GB one.

I'm going with the 8GB. I'm not a huge digital distribution person, and the cards are way too damned costly to go past 8.

Debating if the 3g packs are worth it as 2gigs is the max and that is a very very small amount.. Otherwise i wont buy a sony vita memory card and wait for a third party to come out with a 64+ gig size

Biggest I could get, 32GB.

Really don't know what I'll do with the 4GB that comes with my First Edition Bundle, since I'm not going to want to have to swap memory sticks.

When I eventually do get a PSVita, I hope 3rd party memory cards are the cheaper alternatives. I would never pay $100 for 32GB of memory. 32GB of SD Card memory is, at the worst, $40.

@Ace829: I'd be careful with knock-off memory cards. Never know what could happen, as Microsoft on the Xbox disabled unauthorized memory units and I imagine Sony won't like counterfeits.

Have to see if they find some detection proof options, but I wouldn't want to deal with the thought that a firmware update could disable it.

Went ahead and got the 32 gb memory. I mean when the xbox came out i was dumb enough to spend a hundred bucks on a 14 gb harddrive so why stop now? :)

I went with the 32GB card. I don't want to use multiple cards.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just don't want to give in to such a rip-off. 4GB is pitiful when you consider how big the digital games will be, and the amount of digital PSP games people already bought. I don't even think 32GB will cut it after a few years. At least have a 64 or 100 GB option.

I was aiming at 16GB, as 32GB is not available at launch, but due to the amazon discount that included a free 8GB card for preorders I went with that. You cant beat free ;)

I already ordered the 32... didn't really feel like finding out a year from now 16 or so was too small

32 GB for myself. Best value and I am sure I will fill it up.

Plus to McShark's question the new 3G Data plan options in the US are

250 MB per Month / $15

3GB per Month / $30

with no contract and a free month of the 250 MB level service with PS Vita 3G unit purchase.

Does anyone know roughly how big game size's are in memory or at least the general stuff on the psn store.

Here is a great list to give you a much better idea of PS Vita game sizes.

Im assuming you don't have to install Retail Games that come in a Box, either way ill properly get a 32 or 16g.

If I get one it will be the Wifi version and a 32GB card.

I'm seriously considering buying the pre release bundle. Definitely WiFI with the 32gb though regardless.

I am getting the WiFi with a 32 gig card. I plan on downloading most if not all of my games, so I plan to stay on top of having whatever is the biggest card available.

uncharted is a gig, so im basing that around one of the largest titles so far.

Have wifi with a 32g preordered.

I think I've decided against purchasing early... but in this situation, I almost always go for the biggest model.

I'd got with the Wifi-only model, and then choose either the 16gb or the 32gb card.

I think 32 gig would be a bit of overkill for me, seeming that I will be gameflying the majority of the games I play, and won't be downloading them off PSN.

I have the 16GB one ordered for my Wi-fi model just because they don't sell 32GB ones in New Zealand. I would much prefer to just buy a 32GB one and be done with it since I'm already spending an obscene amount on memory anyway, but importing 32GB memory is way beyond my budget.

I'd probably just get a 32GB and be done with it.

still dont know if im getting one but if i am ill most likly buy the biggest one that dossent cost and arm and a leg so proberly 32g

When they announced that the Feb 22 launch 3G Vita will come with a 8GB card and a free psn game voucher (not sure what that entails exactly) I decided to get that one. The 8GB card will hold me over for now since I plan to start off with downloadable PSP games I missed (Valkyria 2 mainly). Later on I'll see what memory cards become available and I'll get at least a 32GB one if the price comes down a bit.

i'll probably wait on buying a vita until the memory cards get discounted. No point in buying a vita if the largest memory card is 100$ just too pricey.

Wi-Fi Version and a 32 GB Card, I already have a bunch of Minis and PSP titles waiting to be installed, Faking thank you PS+!

This guuuna be good!

I pre-ordered the First Edition bundle when that was announced, that comes with a 4gb but I will probably grab a 32gb if and when I see it. I never bought a PSP Go but I did grab a 16gb Memory Stick Pro duo when they started doing day and date launches. I much preferred buying digital since I can have all my games on me at once and I didn't have to worry about UMD battery drain (not really a problem with Vita). I foresee myself buying all my Vita games digitally so I might as well get the most memory I can.

It is just the Sony way of doing things, the Vita itself is pretty cheap considering Tech Specs. I would prefer them putting the memory in the Device and charge more for it.. Like an iPad, anyway not a big deal for me.

The value propositions for both is still good to me considering my sizable PSP library and Minis.

Memory card prices made me lose interest in buying a Vita. I'll probably pick a Vita up on Craigslist or something in about six months or so for half of whatever the original buyer paid. I mean seriously, $100 for a 32gb card is three times what my 32gb SD cards cost me, I just can't do it.

Also, I don't think 16gb cards are enough. Looking at the sizes of some of the larger launch titles, and allowing for some formatting and system overhead, a 16gb card will only store four games, five tops.

I'll wait and let the early adopters pay a premium for this stuff. There just isn't anything that is so compelling about a Vita that I'm willing to fork out that much cash at launch for a new one.

Ive got the 8Gb ordered as thats what came with the Amazon.co.uk deal but I do plan on getting a bigger one down the line as soon as I see a good deal on one.

I'm going to get an 8 gig card and wait for the inevitable memory card price drop to get the 32 gig one.

@BestUsernameEver: I ordered the 3G version and that comes with a free 8GB stick. The stick should last me for a year or so till the mem card prices go down/bigger cards are released.

Got 100 bucks off from trading in old consoles so putting that money on a 32GB card.
