If you have plans to purchase a 32GB Memory Card and live in Europe or one of the PAL territories, then those plans have been derailed as it has been confirmed that the 32GB Memory Card for the Playstation Vita will not be available at launch in those territories. This was confirmed when the card was not listed in a post on the European Playstation Blog.

The post also confirmed the varied pricing that was confirmed for North America. Here is the list of prices for some first party titles that will be launched alongside the handheld on 22nd and 23rd (Australia and New Zealand) of February. These are retail prices, not download prices, which should be cheaper:

  •  Uncharted: Golden Abyss – €49.99/£44.99/$69.95 AUD/$89.95 NZD
  •  ModNation Racers: Road Trip – €39.99/£34.99/$54.95AUD/$69.95NZD
  •  Everybody’s Golf – €39.99/£34.99/$54.95AUD/$69.95NZD
  •  WipEout 2048 – €39.99/£34.99/$54.95AUD/$69.95NZD
  •  Unit 13 – €39.99/£34.99/$54.95AUD/$69.95NZD
  •  Little Deviants – €29.99/£24.99/$39.95AUD/$54.95NZD
  •  Reality Fighters – €29.99/£24.99/$39.95AUD/$54.95NZD

Here is the pricing of the three available Memory Cards:

  •  4GB Memory Card – €19.99/£17.99/$26.95AUD/$34.95NZD
  •  8GB Memory Card – €34.99/£31.99/$44.95AUD/$59.95NZD
  •  16GB Memory Card – €49.99/£44.99/$64.95AUD/$84.95NZD

These accessories will also be available at launch:

  •  AC adaptor – €9.99/£8.99/$12.95AUD/$16.95NZD
  •  Portable charger – €49.99/£44.99/$64.95AUD/$84.95NZD
  •  USB cable – €9.99/£8.99/$12.95AUD/$16.95NZD
  •  In-ear headset – €19.99/£17.99/$26.95AUD/$34.95NZD
  •  Starter kit – €24.99/£21.99/$34.95AUD/$44.95NZD
  •  Travel kit – €29.99/£25.99/$39.95AUD/$49.95NZD

Despite a lack of a 32GB Memory Card at launch, it doesn’t rule out an eventual release in these markets. However, once that 32GB card does release, expect to put down quite a bit of cash. Not so for AR cards, as six will be bundled with every Playstation Vita. AR cards were not included in the Japanese launch models.

Josh is the name, writing is my game... well my degree will say that. But, when uni gets me down (and it does), there is no better way that to grab a chair, sit back and slicing up some DarkspawnI started my gaming interest back in the good old 16 bit era with the Sega Mega Drive and Sonic The Hedgehog 2. I was roughly five years old. To this day I still try to fire up the dusty companion and speed through the wacky and bright levels, jumping on some Badniks, collecting those damn Chaos Emeralds. Then I moved onto Sony's disk based console the Playstation (thanks to my uncle). Since then I have picked up each of Sony's consoles from the 5th to current generation that has been released in Australia (with more to come).In terms of writing about games, I am quite new to the field. I started out late last year with my own blog before deciding to move to greener pastures. I have written a few reviews for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable. Features as well. I hope I can flex my muscles while writing with Capsule Computers.If I'm not gaming, however, I'm writing narratives. I am currently trying to kickstart a high fantasy novel (which, hopefully, turns into a complex RPG) that I want done in five years or so. My passion of writing has been there for a long time and has flourished as I grew. I'm into the fantasy genre, both games and novels, and thoroughly enjoy a deep and complex RPG, whether it comes from the East or West.Oh and anime is awesome!
