Sony Corrects GameStop Pricing for 4GB, 8GB PlayStation Vita Memory Cards
The PlayStation Vita, despite having an attractive price tag as video game hardware, has a quite expensive proprietary medium used for saving games. Video game retailer GameStop had put up a number of prices for Vita’s memory cards and accessories, but two of those prices have since been revealed not to be correct.
IGN reports that Sony contacted them to inform them that the 4GB and 8GB Memory Card prices were wrong. GameStop had listed the 4GB Memory Card at $29.99 and the 8GB Memory Card $49.99, while Sony has said that the 4GB Memory Card is $24.99 and the 8GB Memory Card is $39.99. The two corrections were the only corrections made to the pricing – the 32GB Memory Card still costs $119.99. No accessory prices were corrected, either.
The only PlayStation Vita model that comes packaged with a Memory Card currently announced is the First Edition bundle, which is packaged with the Wi-Fi + 3G model. The First Edition bundle arrives a week prior to Vita’s launch and is packaged with a 4GB Memory Card.

Well, that is good news I suppose. Although, I think that they would be better offering the 32GB at a lower price. For the cost of 2 PS3 Games, I don’t see them selling many 32GB cards. I am sure that we will see 3rd party cards coming out, or a MicroSD converter. Good news for those who are planning on picking up the 4/8GB models though.
Oh thank god but wait, whats the first edition bundle??? Is that the one that releases a week early?
Yup
its cheaper to get 2 8 gig cards than 1 16
how much is the 16gb card?
Click ” put up a number of prices” first paragraph.
duh! ok I see. two 8 gigs isn’t really cheaper then if two 8 gigs will run you around 80 bucks, while one 16 gig is about $70.
yea sorry I misread it
