All of Sony's Memory Stick formats are propriety but there are 3rd party adaptors that allow you to convert standard SD Card format memory cards so that they are readable in the propriety Memory Stick slots.
For this reason, once the PS Vita memory card format is known, then it will only be a matter of time before adaptors appear on the market that convert SD Cards into PSV cards.

Memberthis is stupid. If they aren't going to use internal memory (which I wouldn't liked since they wouldn't just go over and above with 32gb), they should really use an established format. I bought a SanDisk memory stick magicgate pro duo since it was $10 bucks cheaper. I don't want to have to pay inflated prices for PSV memory stick. I know it will only be a matter of time before you can get knock-offs, but I've had bad experience with 3rd party memory cards on PS1/2. Hopefully since they are making it exclusive they will offer 16 or 32gb cards for less than 50. Otherwise, I'm going to remain content with my PSP for at least another year or two, if not indefinitely.

I've mostly got SanDisk Memory Sticks, and I've never had any issues with them (after all, they're actually in the business of making storage devices, unlike the peripherals makers that sold memory cards for previous-generation game systems). I imagine they'll make quality storage for the PSV as well. If not . . . well, let's not return to the days when Sony PS2 memory cards were the only really dependable models but were $25 for 8 MB.
I foresee being content with my PSP even if I ever get another handheld. :) Speaking of which, today is the third anniversary of my getting my PSP-2000.

They look a bit like SD cards... but no way would Sony make it that easy for us!
It's probably a brand new card format made by Sony... of course! :(Posted 8 years ago # -

MemberHere is my view on the Vita.
The PSP is one of the last portables to feature a non touch screen controller based system. It's not an iphone. And that's how I like it. Call me old school, I like buttons.
The Vita had better have awesome control. If the control system, such as touch sensitive shoulders with no buttons, or the screen, is flawed in some way, I will dislike it.
If on the other hand, it is built well with tight controls, that means the new games have the potential to be good.
I also think it's release price is too expensive for a handheld, and I hope the price drops fairly quickly.
Nintendo tends to be innovative, first to do touch screens, first to do 3d, Sony tends to be solid. So if they can improve the control that would be good. I also don't want games where I constantly have to be touching the screen, and I hope that some releases will ignore the touch screen entirely.

MemberUncharted is supposed to give the option to use the touchscreen for some segments, but you're supposed to always be able to use the button control scheme as well. I liked the look of the littlebigplanet touch controls myself. You pull down on springs to do things such as launch your character, as well as pushing objects into the fore/background using the screen and the rear touchpad.
I personally am stoked at the suggested $250 price tag. Since it has the front and rear cameras I see it more like a smartphone then just a devoted gaming system. Maybe not as a phone but the possibility of useful apps like maps. I'm tempted to pay the extra $50 and get the 3g model in case I eventually choose to sign a data plan.
Does anyone know which Canadian cell provider is going to be supporting this?

Since the 3DS' price drop, I've noticed a lot of, "Vita is priced too high for a handheld.", comments. Nothing wrong with having an opinion, it's your God given right, but come on...
No offense to you taoofgreentea. You could have very well felt it was too expensive before the 3DS price drop, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. It's the people who jumped ship after the price drop that I look at with the stink eye.

The PSP launched at $250 as well, and that will have been 7 years before the launch of the PSV. I think it's a good price for the PSV feature set; at launch, the PSP's capabilities were far less than what they are today, which in turn are far less than what the PSV will be able to do at its launch. One of the reasons I ended up never getting the DS, which I kept thinking I would eventually get, is that, after seeing what the PSP could do, I simply could not justify spending almost as much money on a device which did markedly less. Sure, it had a great library of games, many of which I was quite interested in, but I was willing to wait for the price to drop to a level I thought was more appropriate . . . which seems to have never happened. I mean, the PSP now costs even less than the DS (in the US, anyway).

The titles that are being announced for Vita just keep getting better!
Take a look at the trailer for Escape Plan, if you haven't already.

I've read that the HD collections like the Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill ones, will make it to Vita. It's unconfirmed, by me anyways, but it would be a step in the right direction.
