GameStop has released US pricing information for PlayStation Vita memory cards.
A 4GB card will cost $29.99, 8GB will cost $44.99, 16GB will cost $69.99, and 32GB will cost $119.99.
By comparison, Gamestop sells 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 32 GB memory cards for the PSP at $18.99, $37.99, $50.99, and $125 respectively.
However, memory is expected to be more important to the Vita, with Sony choosing to launch retail and download versions (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-10-13-vita-game-downloads-day-and-date-with-retail) of games on the same day.
The PlayStation Vita launches worldwide on February 22, 2012. There will be a Wi-Fi model and a more expensive 3G-enabled model available, priced at £229 and £279 in the UK, €249 and €299 in Europe, and $249 and $299 in the US.
The UK launch line-up (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-11-23-playstation-vita-eu-launch-line-up-revealed) includes Motorstorm RC, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout 2048, ModNation, Racers: Road Trip and Everybody's Golf.
