Agreed that the system is becoming very attractive with all these localizations.  Let me ask you, if I buy physical as much as possible how quickly will I run into storage issues on a 8gb memory card?


Depends what you're interested in and where you live.

Since you mentioned localizations, I presume you're interested in Japanese stuff.  If you live in USA you'll be fine - pretty much everything has gotten a physical release and there will only be minor installs for a few games.

(Even if you live in Europe, I suppose, you can import physical copies).

If you intend to get any PSP or PS1 games, you're out of luck, I'd imagine 8GB will fill pretty fast.  Stuff like Dissidia; Persona 3; Final Fantasy VII-IX are all more than 1GB each.

Also, there's a few localizations which are going to be download-only in every region.  Miku; Monster Monpiece, the Atelier games; EDF 2017 etc.  Also the X-2 part of FFX HD is download only.  I know the Atelier games and FFX-2 are pushing 3GB each.

However, if you can juggle with PS3 (I hate doing this because transfers are so slow), then you should be alright for any amount of time.


Thank you. Yes, I live in NA and really like JP games.  My main issue with the Vita is the memory cards.  if I could buy cheap SD cards and swap them around would already own one.  PS3 transfer would be a real pain as have no internet at home so have to take them both somewhere.

Still in wait and see mode, but Vita looks like becoming a system I want in 2014/2015.
