Sony Shows Off New Vita Memory Cards

Ignoring the fact that millions of PSP owners have endless numbers of MemorySticks, Sony has only gone and ballsed up the whole format by doing something different on the NGP. Sure, the company needs to make money on accessories to offset the loss it makes on selling the Vita, but this looks like Sony's first, if hardly unsurprising, misstep in the Vita campaign.

These dinky cards will be an essential purchase due to the huge amount of download-only content and, frankly, 8GB isn't cutting it these days on my PSP. Hopefully, SanDisk will be producing cheaper versions but despite the tiny cost of Flash RAM these days, these things are still going to be selling for a pretty premium in the first year or so of the Vita's life
