Absolutely nothing! Vita was never hurt by card prices. It is a sour theory postulated by those who didn't understand the system. Vita needs games and a price drop. Not a cheaper memory card.

I wasn't saying it needed cheaper memory cards, I just thought it odd for them to randomly go half off at two major retailers.  I have a Vita and feel it's doing well--not bad, not great--on games.  The $50 between $200 and $250 didn't matter to me, but I could see how it's prohibitive for the larger gaming demographic.

More just looking for opinions on why the temporary drop occurred.  The obvious theory would be to move stock to make room for something else, but it's not like these take up a lot of shelf space or are going anywhere.

The 16gb could simply be a very poorly selling model. Are the other cards on sale as well?
