Do you have to install games on the Vita?

Only if you want to download games. If you buy games on cartridges, the cartridges will hold both save data and eventual DLC. So if you don't want to download complete games from the PS Store, memory cards are pretty much unneeded.

Unless you plan on buying a lot of PSP games, since the Vita can't play UMDs. Having never owned a PSP (and definitely not owning one now, thanks to the digital downloads of the games), I will probably be picking up some PSP games, which means you'll need a memory card.

I think the memory cards are a little expensive, but they're Japanese prices, so they might be cheaper whenever the Vita makes its debut in the west.
