DEFEND THIS

defend what? thats a horrible purchase. you should get one of the many other cheaper 32gb micro sd available elsewhere. simple logic user

What is there to defend? Companies like to inflate the prices of their branded shit. You're paying for name. Look at Sony's memory cards for the Vita. At least you're not forced to use Nintendo's branded cards.

do you need a licensed sd card like vita or is it possible to use any?

I bought a 64gb for £5 from a supermarket. It is in my phone.

I ain't defending shit. If you buy that you're a dumbass.

I'm getting a 200GB card from SanDisk.

Wahahahaha.

>16 GB card is 30+ dollars used on ebay

Fucking hate Sony

nothing to defend, retard. buy from another brand.

I know you're just shitposting but you aren't forced to buy the "oficial" Nintendo micro SD cards, you can buy any other cheap brand of class 10 you mongoloid.

I mean, is that the ONLY card that's going to be compatible? Because if that's not the case who gives a fuck?

i flipped these for $15 each.

It's okay when Sony does it

>That markup

Christ.

think that is bad? ebay is almost double what i charged.

here ya go user

$1.25 for hardware and $28.75 for fancy printing.

Are you retarded?
Because of that the Vita was a financial failure and almost destroyed Sony's gaming division

Why would I? I can just get a different brand.

Welcome to everywhere else outside of US and Japan.

>dat feel when markup is ~30% where I live

I actually bought an "official" Wii SD card on launch. Fuck knows what it cost but I'm sure it was 10x what I should have paid.

Joke was on them though since that card is full of homebrew now.

Are you saying it's okay that Nintendo does it because Sony did it before?

>$51.91 shipping to Brazil

RIP

No, I'm saying both are scum but you can watch people swallow Nintendo's shit because it's Nintendo.

>Nitendo releases a product you don't need to use
>FUCKING NINTENDO
>Sony releases a product you are forced to use
>BUT NINTENDO!

you can use any sd-card, it's just shitposting

Amazon adds a rough estimate on import taxes to shipping, but they're usually wrong. Also, products bellow US$ 50.00 don't get taxed.

b-b-but the vita!~!!1~!~!!~~~!!

I T ' S

Non-issue as the Switch takes non proprietary cards... unlike a certain other portable device made by another company

that is a bit better but i've gotten products from china and japan for next to nothing.

$3.50 cable free shipping from china
cd based double thickness game from japan for $6

ALRIGHT WHEN SONY DOES IT

Could of charged $5 more user but u guess you did okay

Read every other reply to OP you faggot

What Nintendo did is shitty but will really only negatively affect idiots who don't know what a microSD card is. What Sony did was force people to use their overpriced card, which was very likely the exact same technology.

Not defending either, but Sony's is at least somewhat worse. At least you can just use a normal SD card on the Switch.

Switch doesn't need an official memory card, the Vita AND Vita TV ONLY take official memory cards.


Good thing hacking is about to change that for the Vita TV, can't wait to use a USB for all my games.

Here's the shipping without the bullshit import fee deposit. The only place I usually have trouble with is Japan because fucking JP Post is expensive as shit, or maybe it's just the store shitting me up.

but Nintendo isn't doing what Sony did, and that is force you to buy their overpriced SDcards

Why are sonyggers literally as dumb as niggers?

one guy bought all of them so i figured it was alright.

Buy a 128gb samsung one for the same price then

welp, feel free to use another brand..
..you can trust this face, right?

no one will defend it
just like no one defended the MS 360 USB sticks for "storage" without needing an internal HDD

or the one for the wii
yeah, the wii had a USB stick for an HDD

/thread

I'd prob fuck that shark

$80

Mfw I bought a 64 gb before they were $100+ and sold it for profit. Ended up with a 16gb from a pawnshop. You honestly don't need 64gb in vita. Unless all your friends have the same fighting games.

Sharkies are great

>lives in Brazil

I'm so sorry

...

nah, the one who took that picture does.

shitposters make multiple threads sometimes, it's not that shocking.

they usually format the posts very similar out of laziness so it's fairly easy to spot.

>gooksung
nah m8

The Nintendo card is ridiculous, but the difference is that it isn't a proprietary format, so there are much more reasonable options, and tons of people have multiple of these laying around from other devices.

Not defending the card itself, but I am defending the decision to go with SD.

The internal "32"GB is still bullshit though

fuck.. it's like they've stuck so deep up their own ass, they skipped the whole PSVITA overpriced debacle, and how exactly the overpriced accessories have sunken that ship for mass audience Sony was craving for.

>PSV
>you can only use Sony proprietary SD cards, 16GB coast 30$
>Switch
>you can use any SD card
Yeah it's the same exact thing.

I paid way more for my officially Sony licensed memory stick pro duo. And that was only 4GB. So as far as ripoffs go, that's not a bad deal.

what retard buys official shit? It was always overpriced

>starting a thread iwth "b.b.ut nintendo"
>get anal blasted when he gets a reality check
never fails.

unless its lel BS that the nintendo card has a special thing in it that ONLY works on the switch, which would be hilarious

there are plenty of other overpriced accessories for switch, but i guess you're just a pathetic moron

>moving the goalposts
Where did I defend those? Because I'm pretty sure I never did.

me too. A 1 gb wii sd card was $100 at launch...

cant wait till they come out with a super pro controller that will cost double of a regular one

>b but nintendo
>b but sony

>not playing on the superior handheld

No, things like this are a sign of a company desperate to make money after failures. That's why you saw it with Sony, the Playstation brand was (and continues to be) the only part of the company that isn't in the red.

Defend what? Why would you buy a shit capacity officially licensed product? Are you your own grandmother?

Buy Samsung or Sandisk gramgrams.

What are the reading and writing speeds?

Hahahahahaha consolefags btfo!

Came out 6 years ago.


Prices for SD card was higher per gigabyte back then. Now for $30, you can get 128 GB cards.

>a bad option for people with a third of the brain capacity of normal people.
Just buy any other fucking brand of SD card.

absolute fucking bullshit
I got an original OLED vita with a 64 gb memory card on ebay for 130 bucks :D

>brazil

DELET THIS

Hori shit!

SIR PLES DELET!

It isn't even made by Nintendo, it's HORI, a third party company that makes accessories for Nintendo platforms, you can't even blame Nintendo for this SD card since they just let them put the logo on the SD card because it's free advertisement...

Why do they need to do this?
Nintendo has never needed to do this
Even their hand held consoles never needed to do this

Idiot trap. There were proprietary SD/Micro SD cards for the Wii and PSP. No one's defending it.

refer to the post below your dumb post

>30$ SD Card
>30$ Ethernet adapter
>299$ Switch
>70$ pro Controller
>60$ Zelda
>20$ season pass
>110$ for all the amiibos
620$ for playing a ps2 game on the go

Here's what happened.
>Hori: Hey, Nintendo, why don't we-
>Nintendo: Sure, go ahead.

And that's why Hori is exploding with Switch stuff at the moment. Luckily, you can just get normal micro SDs.

Don't forget the printer
And tv
and electricity
and house
and land
water and sewer
XD

Where's the couch for sitting at home? And the shoes for walking outdoors? And the plane ticket for the Switch plane ride experience?

These are all necessary.

>Botw Zelda amiibo 16$
>Link Archer amiibo 16$
>Guardian amiibo 20$
>Link Rider 16$
>Wind waker amiibos 25$
>Bokoblin amiibo 16$
>OoT amiibo 13$
>Wolf link amiibo 16$
>8bit link amiibo 13$
More like 151$ on amiibo

I'll take two of whatever this guy is drinking.

Do not talk to me or my wife's son's amiibos ever agian

Sony's proprietary only memory sticks and their prices is a big part of why the PSP failed to be as successful as the DS and especially why the Vita failed in the West to stay alive or compete with the 3DS. Could this blowback on Nintendo with the Switch?

Hmm...

All of these are super cheap now. Remember those threads at 4am all about folks trying to get the amazon preorders as son as they went up?

You should get a cheaper one

>prime
kys

>needing to upgrade the storage when games are cartridges

literally no reason to not buy physical

mein neger

>digital only releases

There were quite a few for the 3ds alone.

They all do this. It's shit. It's not ever going to change.

Just buy a 128GB on Amazon.

Sup Forums pls go

Hahahaha

>1gb internal
>you can't use it if there's a card inside

How do they get away with it?

but regular unbranded chink shit MicroSD cards also work though. So why you mad at nintendo, autist?

It's okay you can just buy the regular unbranded flash memor.............NOT ALLOWED LOLOLOLOL SONY THE BEST AT JEWING

>Could this blowback on Nintendo with the Switch?

Hell, no, it won't. That's just an ordinary SD Card that Hori slapped Nintendo's logo onto. They've done this with cards for the Wii and PSP as well.

This doesn't compare with the Vita forcing people to use overpriced proprietary memory cards. Any decent SD Card can work with the Switch.
