Oh boy, another version of another handheld by Sony that doesn't sell.

At least with SD cards, there's actually a pretty significant difference in price between cards of different speed ratings.

but I just looked Vita's cards up and apparently they have been measured to be, at least in practice, 6~8MB/s, which is comparable to class 6 SD card and much lower than class 10 or UHS SD cards. The speeds can only be measured with Vita, though, so maybe there's a lot of decryption overhead or something pointless like that.

At least, by using proprietary cards, you can prevent people from having poorer load-time performance (and blaming the system and games rather than their card) when using low-speed cards.

and 1GB of onboard storage.

why even bother

also sony itself sells a 64gb class 10 sdhc card for about 35 percent of the cost of this new vita memory card rofl

ironically it's the cheapest sd card of its size and class i can find, by a significant margin

[ME##]

sony had to be 'tough' on piracy so it created bullShit


it's just like nintendo's bs with online multiplayer

[Kalahari Inkantation]

no need for it to be such expensive bull$hit though lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]
