Vita Memory Cards Too Expensive - IGN Opinions

The PlayStation Vita will not include any onboard memory, but is asking expensive prices for these necessary "accessories." IGN thinks it's too much, what about you?

I applaud this video, a company in itself (IGN) sending an important message on behalf of consumers. Totally agree with this video. Now transfer this video file to an SD card and sent it to Sony with the recite of $5 for said card so they get it.

@zzzzzz192 maybe so.but i have to see to believe and knowing sonys greedy ass...there will be some sort of catch...besides sonys memory takes up more space than anything....honestly how long do you think even 32gb's might last??? i have a psp with a 32gb pro duo and its already filled with probably 1 or 2 gbs left.....think about it...

@SNaKeYe355 You do know there will be a program where PS3/Vita owners will get the Vita version of a cross platform game for free when they get the PS3 copy. Hmmm.

[zzzzzz192]

I got the 32gb and it's so expensive! However the Vita is a very good device and I think it was worth the price.

This is how it is in Australia:

Nintendo 3DS $235 + Residen Evil Revelations $68 + Circle Pad Pro $23 Total $326

PS Vita Wifi $348 + 16 gb Memory Card $68 Total: $416

So I can get a 3DS with a top range new game and the circle pad pro under the cost of just a wifi PS Vita

this is ridiculous, sony makes it so you can ONLY USE THEIR MEMORY CARDS because they want to sell more of them.

fucking scammers

@backslashio exactly for some strange reason people don't get annoyed at other companies for deliberately trying to get more money by exaggerated or creating prices for things. Microsoft have Xbox live, rechargeable batteries, internet adapter. Apple have asked customers to pay for firmware updates for iPod touch users while iPhone users get it free, expensive cables etc. Why bother getting angry, you have already made it clear that its acceptable for companies to exploit as much as they can.

Thank god I was never planning on getting a Vita anyway but this is greedier than Apple's prices for ordinary cables

[metroidgoodsuit]

np, there will be some other companies producing such cards soon i guess

[sifutruman]

Ps vita + memory card cost more than a fucking ps3 wtf? Boycott anyone?

This is what I call, Consumer Rape!
