A memory card is "pretty much a requirement" for PlayStation Vita (http://www.next-gen.biz/filter/all/tags/883), according to Japanese magazine Famitsu.
Andriasang brings word that some games - apparently includingUncharted: Golden Abyss - will not even boot up without a memory card inserted into Sony's upcoming PSP successor.
All of which is fair enough - especially for those preferring to download their games from the PlayStation Store rather than buy boxed product at retail - but Sony's decision to use a new proprietary card format means, inevitably, they will come at quite a price.
While worldwide pricing is yet to be revealed, in Japan (http://andriasang.com/comy5x/) a 4GB card costs ¥2,200 (£18), 8GB ¥3,200 (£26), and 16GB ¥5,500 (£45), while a 32GB card will set you back ¥9,500 (£78).
Vita launches in Japan (http://www.next-gen.biz/news/sony-details-japanese-vita-launch) on December 17, and will be released in Europe (http://www.next-gen.biz/news/sony-reveals-vita-release-date-europe-us-and-more), Australia and the US on February 22.
