Vita Getting 64GB Memory Card in Japan

During its Japanese press briefing today, Sony announced a new 64GB memory card coming to Japan on October 10th.

The 64GB card will be available for 9,980 yen (roughly $100) and has currently only been confirmed for Japan.

The 64GB card marks the biggest option yet, and joins the currently-available 32GB, 16GB, 8GB and 4GB models. Sony simultaneously announced new pricing for all models in Japan, dropping the 4GB model to 1,480 yen (roughly $15), the 8GB model to 1,980 yen (roughly $20), the 16GB model to 3,780 yen (roughly $38) and the 32GB model to 6,480 yen (roughly $65).

We’ve reached out to Sony about the potential release of the 64GB card in the West and will update this story with any comment we receive.
