Neo Geo X has the most durable of the SD cards.

I have no beef with the game cartridges, but with the damn tiny, expensive memory card! :evil:

I see Sony not learning from their mistakes - never ever try to go against mainstream format - remember the betamax, miniDisc, SACD... it makes it harder for the buyer to justify the high cost.

They do that trying to create a standard, a standard that they would reap the most benefits from.

Heh, just got Dungeon Travelers 2 today :) Don't have a Vita yet but I ordered a Vita TV so I'm really looking forward for when that comes in the mail.

Also got Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational. I know you can't play that on the TV (for some reason) but it was only $4... Not sure why it's so cheap since I've heard it's good. Did it get overlooked or something?

I didn't love the case design, but had no problem with the cartridges themselves. Then again, I don't actually handle the cards that often - tend to leave one in for extended periods of time instead of swapping regularly.

What were your expectations for what is a glorified SD card? Or what were you comparing them too? I do find that 3DS cards are more solid, but don't really see the need as long as they aren't kid-owned.
I don't know why, but they just feel so damn cheap to me. On the back of the card it says made in china so I think if someone were to make pirated carts it would be difficult to tell them apart.

Both games are amazing, I still need to get Dungeon Travellers the Demo was really fun and love the naughty humor. Hot Shots is just the best version to date, probably cheap because it's pretty common and every Vita collector probably already has it.

Wish Resident Evil Revelations 2 was a physical release though now I'm gonna have to pass and pick up the 360 version.

My only issue with the carts isn't the carts themselves but rather that Sony makes you have to peel off the cover to get to the slot. It's amazing how such a small thing can be such a PITA.
