3DS can use 128GB SDXC cards

That's true, I guess it depends on which usb standard is used.
I believe it's been confirmed that they're using USB 2.0.

Oh snap!
Watch them in a row?
Still hoping they'll allow full 3-D movies to be bought on the system. There's a 12-minute 3-D video for $2 on the eShop, so the paid for movies certainly don't have the 10-minute restriction.
I'm still using an old 4GB card with flip out USB. There are bigger and cheaper per GB cards, but the convenience of this one for transfer to and from my PC, 3DS, Wii, and camera is nice. (I wish the Wii U had an image viewer like the Wii did.) I don't know if they make a 64 or 128 GB version.

Try harder.
Yes, I wish Nintendo would try harder.

Necrobump!
My 32GB SD card only has around 30,000 blocks left. Pokémon X/Y are 14,000 blocks. Anyone know a decent SDXC card I could buy? Reading Amazon reviews and well worries me a bit before taking a plunge.
I saw this one but like I said the reviews are mixed. I don't mind spending a good amount just not something obscene.
Also don't give me shit for downloading.

omg the drag lolololol
Except the part where you can store your Vita games on your PC.
Cheaper memory cards with more storage > annoying and often cumbersome PC switching.

From my experience you want
1) a Class 10 card
2) from Sandisk or Kingston
Which would make this the cheapest option.
It's been a while since I used Kingston cards though and Sandisk is definitely perferable.
edit: for some reason, SDXCs seem to be a tad bit overpriced on Amazon.com. I can get a Sandisk Ultra (Extreme and Extreme Pro are overkill on 3DS) 128GB for ~$125 in Switzerland.
Thanks. I'll probably end up getting this before Pokémon then. I don't feel comfortable having such little space left.
No need when we actually have space on our cards. $116 for a $128gig is still better than any Vita card.

I added something in my post, here it is again so you don't miss it:
So I'd rather recommend this one
But look for a better price at a different retailer. I'm not familiar with the US market.
Newegg seems to have cheaper prices so probably sticking with your first one. No taxes or shipping too. Saves me $12 and then some not bad.
If you browse through available sellers, that card is $90 from Amazon (but ships in a few weeks) and $82-85 from a 3rd party seller.
EDIT: And $80 with free shipping for a used card. One of the used cards has prime shipping available so you can get it within a few days.
You think you are funny, and i would have thought so too if most 3ds games weren't downloadable.
Almost,mate, almost..

I just almost accidentally quoted someone 2012.
Sandisk may seem like the usual, generic SD provider, but I haven't had any problems with them. So I'd agree with people recommending Sandisk.
I personally end up buying stuff from Samsung even though it probably doesn't make any sense. I've become too into buying Samsung products.
But really, Sandisk sounds right.

I don't care how large of a card you can put into the 3DS, the fact that there is still no account based system means that all of that data could become corrupt and you'll never retrieve it back. Next.
False. I have redownloaded my games twice already. I had forgot to back up when I upgraded my SD card twice.
You can re-download your purchases onto a new SD card, so you can retrieve it back. Next.

I don't think you understand how digital works on Nintendo systems.
The only risk is if you have your system stolen or broken. In the case of stolen you MAY be able to get your account restored to a new system if you file a police report.

Has Nintendo said anything about these cards being supported? My friend would buy these huge (at the time) 3rd party memory cards for ps1 and I think they corrupted all his data more than one time. Since according to this thread Nintendo only said 32gb I'm a little worried.
You can always put the save files on your computer beforehand in case that does happen.
Well like I said mines is almost full!
Officially no but that's kind of the point of this thread. Reformatting the SD card will allow the 3DS to use it.

I'm considering an upgrade to an 8GB, I tend to get cards when they're uber cheap (got the 4GB one at like $7 and was by Duracell IIRC).
Also, I should expand my Wii U's storage, what's a good cheap option? And don't I have to format it beforehand? Never had to with SD Cards for my 3DS.

man with that many games you really should consider using folders. Looks like a mess.
That turnaround

Wot? I've felt invincible with my 32gig card up until now..

Also on #team-no-folders
I like the game icons and I have them arranged alphabetically so it's not hard finding a specific game. I have it zoomed in to 3 rows just zoomed out so you can get an idea of how many games I have downloaded. I hate using folders.

games on psn plus is still better than spending 40 euros on a single game,not to count offers,discounts,etc put that into equation if you wanna talk about savings
well if you lose your console,gets broken or sell to another person you are fucked without remision,nintendo account system is ABYSMAL
Subjective and at least I get to play some new games regularly instead of ports. I like Persona but still not worth an entire console for a game I've played.
Steam > PSN so what's your point?
I agree. What's your point? I'm an adult I understand how bad not having an account system is and you know what? It's my money.
I've never understood the 'sell to another person' argument. Who the hell sells their console, but keeps the games? What are you going to play them on?
Then not_so_special would be wrong wouldn't he? Just system transfer before selling the 3DS with the downloaded games. What's the problem? Charge more if you're selling it with the games.
Still don't understand. I upgraded from a 3DS, to a special edition Mario one, to a 3DS XL and transferred everything each time. I also transferred from a Wii to a Wii U just fine.
