PlayStation Vita Memory Card 64GB (PCH-Z641J)

Its a huge memory card, and if like me you like to keep a lot of games and podcasts on hand its pretty sweet. It has no region locking and shows no slow down when used in the Vita. Just be aware you need a Playstation Plus subscription to back up most of your digital PS Vita games saves. So if like me you deleted games before they added PS+ cloud saving to the system you will have to start from scratch unless the game itself uses its own cloud saves (like StarDrone, Playstation All-Stars, and Soundshapes do to enable save transfers with their PS3 counterparts). Digital versions of Vita only games like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Daze however cant have their data backed up without the service. Though those two are free with the service itself so if you havent bought them yet and want them it makes the pill a bit easier to swallow. Just buy a subscription, back up all your saves, then when the new Memory card shows up youre set, get youre games downloaded off the store, touch the + icon on the games/app start screen and itll bring up the download from the cloud option. Its important to note this issue will not effect Physical PS Vita, PS One Classics, Minis, or PSP game saves.

I will say only to be careful with this product. As the most expensive of the memory cards and the most spacious you will be tempted to just download and remove stuff all the time from it, causing some to have a corrupted download that could brick the memory card but leave your system itself okay. It can happen with any download and because I did so frequently, mine died after 8 months of use. Still for its price vs Space this is well worth it. Just be sure you keep some back ups and dont end up like I will having to start most of my games over again when I get a new card that is cheaper should this happen again.

If we overlook the fact that the price is far too high for a 64 gb card and just review it on its merits, this card is great. The fact is if you own a vita, you need a memory card and the 64gb card is the largest and the the cheapest in terms of dollars/gb. If you own a vita and have playstation+, you want to have a lot of space for all those vita games that come with it. Some games can be quite large and if you hate swapping data like I do, a 64 gb card will do the trick. Note that the packaging is all in Japanese, but vitas are not region locked, so it works fine in a US vita.

I dont know why anyone would need so much memory for their handheld system. But seeing as how many good deals there are in the PlayStation store given the fact that they have older games is good enough. I have gotten used to having digital games in my PS4 system, so might as well do the same for my PS Vita. So far I found some rather better deals on Amazon for some cartridge games such as Tekken x Street fighter, which is 40 on the PlayStation store, and Ive also found some good deals on the PlayStation Store such as Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, 40 or more on Amazon and 20 on the PlayStation store. So yes, it kinda does pay off having a bigger memory unit. For one, I dont have to worry about losing or damaging my cartridges, or getting up from where I am to pick out another game to play. But on the not so bright side, games do take a lot of time to download. So the choice is really in the end, up to the consumer. In the end, Im glad to have a lot of memory on my Vita System.

I feel that I should write a review on this due to the other review posted that was negative. 1st off the card works great, the card doesnt offer a full 64gb of memory but it does give 59gb. I ordered this from japan and it arrived shortly and works great on the American vita models, it has all of the space I need and more. In reference to the other person who feels that the card costs as much as the system, someone probably ordered a few and is raising the price by a large margin. These cards will only cost about $100 when they are released in the USA, the one card available through amazon prime is setting prices that are unreasonable, $175 is far too much however I was able to get one for $125 through Hananoiro Shop. If you need the space then I would say to get this card, if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. P.S. Ive noticed that a lot of people have been giving this product negative reviews, I wanted to just tell people that these guys arent upset because the product is faulty or defective but they gave it poor reviews because they are unhappy with the price. Update 3-18-2014 Ive already filled up my card and ill be buying a second one, I still recommend this product greatly and I wanted to inform people that certain games will take up a lot of space like the release of Final Fantasy X for the PS Vita which takes up a whopping 6.6GB, I do agree its overpriced but I need another one and Im just grateful that they make a card this big since the original PSP maxed out at 32GB, hopefully in the future they release an even bigger card around 128GB but im fairly certain for this format that they wont and if they did it would be over $200 easy Update 7-13-2014 The vita can play certain PS1 games such as MGS1, to transfer them youll have to buy them on your ps3 and manually sync them with a USB cable

First off let me say 64GB is way more than enough space for the Vita. I have literally all my vita games on this card, OVER 35 FULL VITA TITLES!!! and thats not even counting all the indie games, ps1 games,and psp games. The only reason I knocked the product down 1 star is because sony really is charging a lot for these. With that being said It feels great having all my Vita titles right on the system and not having to worry about space and missing cartridges. In Summary its definitely a great buy for those who download lots of titles to their Vitas

My 64gb card failed or went faulty in 3 days. The Vita wasnt able to reformat the card, rebuild data base or recognize the card. The seller was great on refunding me. After more research I learned the 64gb cards have a higher failure rate compared to 32gb card. If I get another 64gb in the future and if it works good Ill update my review. I got another card and it started to do the same weird issues with backup and restore fails and other issues. I returned the second one too. The $90 price is not the problem for me, the quality of the cards are the problem. I really am disappointed in for the first time ever in Sonys lack of quality control in this particular product. They really should have never invented the card if they never intended for them to work properly in the original 3G/Wifi Vita. Save your money and buy a 32GB card and leave it at that. The 32GB work without any issues and Ive owned one for over 2 years while 64GB fails in days of use. After reading nearly every single negative review (3 star and below) for both 32GB and 64GB here are my findings. -32GB cards have a 0.8% chance of being faulty -64GB cards have a 2.0% chance of being faulty (plus their are less of them out there in the wild since they are only made for the Japanese market) PlayStation forums indicate that users encounter issues with restoring PSVita 64GB cards and that they fail quite often. Just stick with 32GB and deal with the memory management or start buying physical copies of your games ASAP to save on data.

I previously owned a 16GB card for my Vita, upgrading from the 4GB card the unit came with. However, as a Playstation Plus subscriber, I quickly found myself running out of room on that card too. After learning that this 64GB card works with any Vita despite only being available in Japan at the moment, I decided to take the plunge and quadruple my space once again. The card itself is outstanding, and hasnt given me a single problem. With 59GB of usable space, it can easily hold every single free game released on PS+ thus far, with plenty of space remaining for other Vita/PSP/PS1 games and media. No more deliberating on which game to delete...at least for now. Having said that, on to the obvious negative. I know everyones pointed it out before, but Vita memory cards are quite expensive. Thats still very much the case here, but this card is easily the best in terms of dollars per gigabyte. A 32GB Vita card is usually about $80; this card has double that space for only about $30 more. Bottom line: this is the kind of card the Vita always needed. Vita games can be up to 4GB in size, and those smaller cards arent going to cut it if you get a lot of games digitally (i.e., if youre a Plus subscriber). If youre upgrading your card, though, might as well upgrade to this one. Its pricey, but its also the best deal on Vita memory you can get right now.

A few things to understand. 1. It’s a 64gb memory card. 2. It is for the Vita. 3. It holds a lot of games, taking into consideration that most games for the Vita are 1 to 3 GB. (Sometimes less depending on what you enjoy.) 4. It isnt cheap. 5. And it is a Sony product which is why it isn’t cheap. So to the people that are giving the product a 1 star rating, stop. The price is what it is. Go complain on Sonys message boards if you dont like it. Now back to the review. Taking that all in, you need to ask yourself only one question. What price would you pay to have just about an unlimited amount of space? I was previously using a 16 GB card. Which could hold 3 to 4 Vita games depending. (Borderlands 2 takes up a lot of space to install) Now I can say with certainty that the 64 GB version can hold at least 32 games, and still have 13 GB left on standby. The standby memory has more than my 16 GB card had before adding anything to it. (Remember that the cards have coding which takes away from the storage) Meaning that the 64 GB card actually has 59 GB worth of free space – and my 16 GB had only 12.5 GB of free space. Here is a list of what is on my card. This might help show you the vast amount of space you will have (Remember, I still have 13 GB left to play with) 1. Batman: Arkham Origins (Vita) 2. Borderlands 2 (Vita) 3. Child of Light (Vita) 4. Chrono Trigger (PSX) 5. Chrono Cross (PSX) 6. Dustforce (Vita) 7. Fez (Vita) 8. Final Fantasy 4 (PSP) 9. Final Fantasy 5 (PSX) 10. Final Fantasy 6 (PSX) 11. Final Fantasy 7 (PSX) 12. Final Fantasy 8 (PSX) 13. Final Fantasy 9 (PSX) 14. Final Fantasy X-2 (Vita) 15. Guacamelee (Vita) 16. Killzone (Vita) 17. Limbo (Vita) 18. Lumines (Vita) 19. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (PSP) 20. MediEvil (PSP) 21. Need For Speed (Vita) 22. Persona 4 Golden (Vita) 23. Rayman Origins (Vita) 24. Rayman Legends (Vita) 25. Shooter Ultimate (Vita) 26. Sly Cooper 1 (Vita) 27. Sly Cooper 2 (Vita) 28. Sly Cooper 3 (Vita) 29. Sly Cooper Thieves In Time (Vita) 30. Tearaway (Vita) 31. Walking Dead Season 1 (Vita) 32. Zen Pinball – (With at least 10 tables) (Vita)

I really like this product. Nothing special just your typical sd card. It has 60gb free data which I used immediately to hold all of my games XD. My favorite part of my purchase was the little thank you card that came with the package. It put a massive grin on my face ^-^.
