    So like the title says I've been considering picking up a vita in the not too distant future. My local superstore has a bunch of walking dead bundles in stock so I'll probably pick up that with P4G, but I also need to pick up a memory card. I've got ps + so I'll have to pick up a big one. I see that 32 gb cards are $80, but I've been checking out ebay and there are 64 gb cards I could import for just under $100. Is the 64 a good deal or should I just get a 32 right then and there? Has anyone else imported a 64 or had any trouble with it?

    I would expect the 64gb cards will be available here upon the release of Vita slim, I'd just deal with the 4gb card that comes in the bundle until then.

    Sounds like you should import a 64GB. If you've been raking in all the PS+ games, you're going to need a lot of space

    I have a 32GB and it fits a significant amount of games. Unless you really need to have like 50 games on the go, you should be fine with the 32.

    I feel like:

    A) The 32gb is enough space.

    B) Buying a 32gb now avoids all of the potential, even if temporary, pitfalls inherent to importing a larger card.

    C) The talk of a stateside 64gb card is mostly conjecture at this point.

    I'd suggest buying the 32gb now and just being done with it.

    thanks for the feedback guys. I'm probably just gonna say to hell with it and just pick up a 32 since I won't have to wait. I'll still be buying enough physical games to warrant not needing that much space.

    I still want to know if anyone else in the community has imported a 64 though, and to know if there are any problems with importing.

    that 32 will fill up fast, I would import the 64 if you can't wait. I'm patient so I'm waiting to see the prices when they come over here.

    @themathlete: The 32GB will get filled, but there's really no need to have all the PS+ library installed at once.

    Currently on my 32GB I have:

    Wipeout

    Lumines

    Hotline Miami

    Terraria

    Pixeljunk Monsters

    Rayman Origins

    Sonic et al racing

    Mortal Kombat

    Soul Sacrifice

    Guacamelee

    Tearaway

    Jak & Daxter Trilogy

    PS All Stars

    Patapon 3

    Peace Walker

    FF7

    Crash Bandicoot + CTR

    Pac Man CE

    Thomas Was Alone

    Super Stardust Delta

    Spelunky

    Stealth Inc

    Sine Mora

    Olli Olli

    Blaz Blue

    And a couple of other things, like YouTube. If you need more than that installed at once you may have ADD :P

    I have 20 games on my 16GB card. You shouldn't need a 64GB card. Hell, it's probably better to just buy a 16GB card now and if that just isn't enough get another 16GB card later and hopefully the price will have gone down by then.
