i would like to say yes, the price of the memory cards that gamestop has listed is ridiculous.
but ign made it seem as if those prices were set in stone, there is no confirmation that those
insane prices will be final.
ign should have at least mentioned they are place holders, and could change (and should change if sony has any brain, the max im willing to pay for 16 gb of memory is $35)
also the cards are not a necessity, like ign was leading people to believe in that video. you wont need it to save or play games. and i dont think the rumor that some game like Uncharted will need a memory card to save data, has been confirmed.

While I don't think anyone Sony has an official statement on it many news outlets are reporting on it like its fact (you've probably already read all these, but for those who are curious):

I wouldn't mind that we would need to buy a memory card, what pisses me off is that they didn't give us a cheap option.  They could have easily made it so we could buy any memory stick for a cheaper price, but no, they decided to go with their own tech with no current competition so that they could price it at whatever they wanted.

Sony had done so much right with the Vita, I seriously thought they had an A+ product on their hand.  Bleh.
