Vita Memory Card Priced by GameStop
US retailer GameStop (as reported by the similarly titles consumer games site GameSpot) has game live with its pricing.
It’s charging $29.99 for the 4GB card, $44.99 for 8GB, $69.99 for the 16GB and $119.99 for the 32GB card. The pricing in Japan is as follows – ¥2,200 (4GB), ¥3,200 (8GB), ¥5,500 (16GB) and ¥9,500 (32GB).
Taking into account how the UK market more often than not ends up paying more for such things, this points at UK RRPs of around £20(4GB), £30 (8GB), £50 (16GB) and £80 (32GB).
The pricing looks at its worst when compared to how much the equivalent memory would cost in the more common SD format. Here, 4GB cards can be found for around £3, 8GB for £5, 16GB for £10 and 32G for just £20.
Though of course, premium versions are to be had for those with a suitably fat wallet.
‘Full’ Vita games themselves are said to be roughly between 2GB and 4GB in size, so those intending to download the system’s premium titles will find their memory card bills quickly racking up.
Of course, they will also have the option of buying the titles on dedicated cards at retail.

I wont mind the memory card prices when CFW is out because then I only need to buy 1 or 2 memory cards and all the games are free, so I'll wait for CFW before I buy a vita and memory card.

RenegadeVDtrue. I know what you mean. I hope their is going to be one tho.Disturbed708 This is where they messed up at not only do you have to pay a lot of money for it you also have to pay a lot for the memory card. Its going to end up worse than when the 3ds first came out. Why cant we just use a micro sd card oh waite they need to make more money. But when no one buys it they will wounder why no one wants it.
if you wait a week or so and go on ebay there will be a micro sd card thing for it
so say i had a micro sd you but it into a big on and it fits the the vita
