I don't know about that. Remember the 20GB Xbox 360 HDDs, which were supposed to hold all you needed and cost $100 back in 2005? They're pretty puny today.
considering I've seen launch titles with install data ranging from 1-3GB, it sounds like 32GB won't last terribly long. :|

You can quickly swap those cards quickly. It's not the same thing.

Also, I prefer physical releases so 32GB shouldn't be too bad. Until the PS Vita is properly hacked... In which case I will certainly keep everything on one card instead of carrying around half a dozen cards with me. Hope that day is sooner than later.

Well that assumes you buy it all digitally, I got a mix of physical and digital releases. Games like Uncharted will be nice to be able to sell once I beat it.

maybe I misunderstodd... I thought the install data of 1-3GB was for physical games. Like when you physically buy a PS3 game and it makes you install data to the HDD.

No, that wouldn't make any sense on the PS Vita. It DOES on the PS3/Xbox/PSP, etc because they all use optical discs which read data fairly slowly.

I've got 7 PSP/PSV games on my card right now (not counting the 3 demos I have) and still have 23GB. I'm not saying I won't have to potentially do some management and store games I'm not playing on my PS3 or PC instead, but I should be able to carry around plenty that I actually want to play.

Yea. 32GB is alot. I've got about 100 games on my PSP if you include PSP, PS1, and emulated games, but it's honestly TOO much. Too many options can be an issue, haha.
