I got an 8GB memory card when I imported my PS Vita to use with my Japanese PSN Account. I'll be getting a 32GB one on the U.S. Launch to use with my N.A. PSN Account.

32GB, probably - I currently have a 16GB memory stick for my PSP and it's a good size, but I'm sure Vita games will be larger on average and more space is never a bad thing (plus who wants to juggle memory cards). I'll get one after third parties like Sandisk start manufacturing them (or rebranding them, in that case), though. No way I'm paying a hundred bucks for something that should be $40.

Thinking about doing that as well. I'll probably hold off on the Vita until Q4

Not a bad decision. Although I'm still getting a 16GB on launch date, I just hope Sandisk can come out with their own memory card a month after the Vita launches.

I am getting a 32Gb. But seeing Sony has priced them so high, I am no longer getting a Vita on launch and am instead waiting til Christmas 2013. And even then I will only get one if the prices of the memory card has dropped a lot. I have no problem skipping the Vita if Sony can't get their head out their ass with pricing. I have a PC and PS3 for gaming at home and a smartphone for when I am not home, so I already have my gaming needs met. The Vita is just an extra bonus that I can live without.

Exactly. And by that point there will be (or should be) a decent number of games at discounted prices, making it relatively cheap to buy a Vita, a memory card, and a small library.

I'm getting a 4GB included in a GameStop Starter Pack. It also includes a case, cleaning cloth, headphones, and a screen cover.

The 32GB card when or even if they ever release it in Europe. Will wait until Q4 or early 2013.

4 is what I'd most likely get. Although I have a 16 GB now, I was fine when I just had a 4 GB for my PSP.

Im in the exact same boat. My music would nearly take over a 16gb card so its the next size no question for me. And I plan on getting everything from the PSN so that I wont have to keep track of cartridges

32 gb sounds like a massive chunk but I imagine it's all that a lot of players would ever need. The old buy-in-bulk approach. My heart will be momentarily weak for a time after buying it, though. Or I assuage the cheap-skate instinct and buy the smallest one.

I'm getting the wifi model and Uncharted Golden Abyss. That is all for now. I will most likely get MLB 12 The Show if it has cross system game saves and Rayman Origins looks fun too.

I am getting the 8GB one, dont need any more than that. Wont be putting my games and music on it since I will be buying the games at retail (unless if there is a significant price difference between retail and download), and dont need it for music cuz I have my smarpthone and my MP3 player plus I will never really take it outside the house so no point.

I don't plan on downloading any games from PSN so 8GB should do me just well just for saving games and listening to music on it. I might bump up to 32GB if they become cheaper and if I need the extra space, but 8GB is good enough especially at 30 bucks.

Getting a 32GB card despite the high price. I don't want to have to juggle lots of memory cards and I'm starting to doubt if we'll see a third party company producing these any time given Sony's desire to keep the Vita under a tight lock. Also getting the WiFi model as 3G is pointless when I have a 4G WiFi hotspot with my phone and it has no limits. Also picking up at launch Uncharted: Golden Abyss and hoping Rayman Origins along with Gravity Rush see release at launch. I'll probably add Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 to the list as release gets closer if either of those games don't drop at release.
