Earlier, Kotaku did a PS Vita size comparison to show not only the machine’s size, but also that of the memory and game cards. In this video, my nimble fingers stick tiny cards in slots and then pull them out. Fascinating!

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 10:37 AMYeah they do…. so much electronics use those hatches. They don’t break there on to little slip things that have heaps of play in them.
It’s like not being a console because ones power button too clicky….

Monday, December 19, 2011 at 12:10 AMTrue enough. That was an issue with my previous phone. It didn’t bother me much though. I could see the same thing here if they do break on the Vita, I’d just shrug and continue using it.

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 11:18 AMThe memory card isn’t something you’ll be constantly removing anyways.
The game card looks like it will be a pain for my ape like fingers though.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 12:13 PMSeriously, they couldn’t use the same memory cards as the PSP for the Vita? I think it’s a case of “let’s get them to buy something else for no real reason”.
The way the memory card goes in is no big deal, since you’re probably not going to be opening it and exchanging cards too often (unless you store all your games on them). Whereas the game cartridge you’ll probably be exchanging games often so I dunno…I’m more concerned about if these game cards will snap at some point.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 1:32 PMFor the last time…Sony used a new proprietary memory card format (again). Reasons being: A) they can keep control over DRM and prevent/postpone pirating for some time, B) they can standardize the read/write speeds of the cards (and that is the reason for their premium price), and C) it’s Sony. They always use proprietary memory. LOL. And they didn’t keep on using the PSP memory sticks because I’m assuming they wanted to raise the disk speeds by making a new standardized format.
