[panama chief]

This is awesome. Next up 1Tb.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Can't wait to use it on my music player!

 

[F34R]

That price for that slow write speed. No thanks.

 

[Voidwolf]

Can't wait to put this in my Vita! So glad we can do that now!

What?? Since when?

 

[frankie_baby]

i'd be interested to find where i can insert a HDD into a smart phone (yes not everyone lives in america and has unlimited data to listen to low quality and poor artist paying support streaming services) or in a digital camera

And the amount of people on this site that want that kind of storage on a phone or camera is probably a lot smaller than the number of switch owners here

 

[Falchion]

Holy shit, what a time to be alive.

 

[isamu]

Will be copping one of these day one. Will be great for expanded storage for my laptop.

Dumb question time: Do any of the Nintendo 3DS models accept MicroSD cards? If so can you play games off them?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Sounds like my kind of Christmas present.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Samsung will probably top that with 512GB card soon enough.

hope so then i can use my samsung discount and get one for a really good price lol.

Only the New 3DS And 2DS alone accept MicroSD

 

[SJRB]

Absolutely amazing.

I mean, seriously, 400GB on such a small card, holy shit. This is a technical marvel.

Not entirely correct. You can use a cheap adapter that tends to be shipped with microSDs. Works well on my O3DS (in expectation of buying an NN3DS later).

 

[Lonely1]

You can use an adapter, though.

You can always use an adapter (which this card will come with), so yes, any 3DS model can use a MicroSD card

 

[gweemz]

I thought all 3ds revisions except for the original 3ds used microsd. I have a 3ds xl (not new 3dsxl) and that takes microsd.

 

[ComradeZero]

I wonder how much this would be if Sony was making it. Maybe they'd just add an extra zero to the price to make it easy.

 

[SpecX]

Samsung will probably top that with 512GB card soon enough.

I hope so and then offer them free with a phone purchase. So glad I grabbed my 256GB card when I got my Note 7 last year.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Oopps my bad, didn't know about the adapter

 

[SinCityAssassin]

[RootCause]

cool that this exists, hopefully it drives down the price of smaller cards

Hopefully. I'm happy with 128GB on my switch, at the moment.

 

[sublimit]

Meanwhile...

 

[nycgamer4ever]

I wouldn't take a chance with a large micro sd card like this again. I've had two large scandisk micro sd cards I ordered from Amazon fail on me. Never again.

 

[MoogleMan]

Good thatll make 256 GB cheaper in a few months

Exactly what I'm thinking.

It's crazy how far flash memory has come. 400 GB is something smaller than your thumbnail...

I remember paying $75 for 512MB back in 2004/2005 😭

 

[isamu]

Thanks for the info guys that's great news

 

[-shadow-]

Just need to wait for it to go down in price a bit, once it does, 400GB + Switch! 😍

 

[Dremorak]

400gb at this time seems like overkill for switch tbh. I've got a 128gb card and on it I have:

- Snake Pass
- Shovel knight
- Snipperclips
- Minecraft
- Thumper
- Blaster master
- Sonic Mania
- 2 neo geo games
+ 8 demos

and its only used about 10gb of it. That having been said, I dont have any retail ones yet.

 

[-shadow-]

I know someone who's all digital and his 128GB is filling up pretty fast with Zelda, Mario Kart, Bomberman and what not. But yeah, unless you do that, 400GB (for now) is indeed overkill.

 

[ozfunghi]

I remember paying $75 for 512MB back in 2004/2005 😭

Who did you buy it from? Paul Newman?

I had 512MB card in my DS M3 card in 2005 i believe, and i paid nowhere near such obscene amounts.

 

[knkng]

I thought all 3ds revisions except for the original 3ds used microsd. I have a 3ds xl (not new 3dsxl) and that takes microsd.

Are you talking about with an adapter? Because if not, then you might be a little mixed up.

3DSXL takes standard SD cards through a covered slot on the side of the device. New 3DSXL only accepts MicroSD by removing the back plate of the console.

 

[SmokedMeat]

it's perfect for switch

A $250 memory card is indeed a perfect fit for Switch.

 

[Storm Chamber]

This will make a fine addition to my collection

 

[Dremorak]

If we're playing this game, I remember seeing the first 50Mb disks and being blown away. It seemed like so much storage

 

[HackTheSlash]

Hopefully we dont have to wait too long till they hit the market. Id love to get one of these.

 

[ShadowFox08]

Why 400? Why not 500? Strange. I think I'll wait for the price to go down a bit first. Its a good deal on its own but $250 for going digital is expensive.

Anyway its crazy that a 2GB micro SD was $100 ten years ago!

 

[BigEmil]

What?? Since when?

With hacked Vita you can get unofficial SD card adapters for your Vita can buy it off places like Alieexpress etc pretty cheap

 

[ladyluthien]

Can't wait to use it on my music player!

That's what I would plan to use this for.
So convenient having this much storage on a little card. Amazing.

 

[Canklestank]

That price for that slow write speed. No thanks.

Are you referring to 100 MB/s as slow?

Meanwhile...

You're not up-to-date on the homebrew scene, are you?

 

[Kthulhu]

We're inching ever closer to the cyberpunk future where I replace the nail on my left pinky with 1TB of computer storage.

The theoretical maximum for SDXC is 2TB, so you'll definitely be close to that in a few years.

 

[Yearsoflurking]

I can't imagine ever paying that amount for a small storage device. Seems criminal

 

[The Hermit]

Even things that aren't games can't escape this phrase

Lol

 

[isaacnukem]

Hope it comes with better protection from corruption!

Wait till you have Xenoblade, Mario, and NMH on it.

 

[Titoin]

Damn... they reacted fast to that Nindie Summer Showcase.

Spot on

 

[Sagitario]

You're not up-to-date on the homebrew scene, are you?

What's happening (or what's new) with Vita homebrew?
I haven't used mine in more than a year. Maybe two.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Brilliant leap in the tech! Astonishing to think we're getting so much storage in such tiny form factors these days.

Really though, I'm mostly pleased it should drive the prices of the current 200gb+ models down, since that's what I'll likely be getting when I make the jump to Switch next year, as I intend to mostly stick to the far cheaper retail releases wherever possible.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

What's happening (or what's new) with Vita homebrew?
I haven't used mine in more than a year. Maybe two.

Homebrew vita's can use a MicroSD card in place of a Vita Cart to replace the internal memory or memory card.

 

[exemp30]

Homebrew vita's can use a MicroSD card in place of a Vita Cart to replace the internal memory or memory card.

Most recent Vita update not compatible with Homebrew still?

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Meanwhile...

Currently have a 200GB SD Card in my Vita. Thanks to the Henkaku hack and the brilliant SD Card adapter that plugs into the game card slot.

Brilliant for turning the Vita into a multi purpose device. I've got emulators for NES, SNES, MegaDrive, Gameboy Advanced and Mame arcade games on it, plus PS1, PSP and Vita games.

 

[Leynos]

What's happening (or what's new) with Vita homebrew?
I haven't used mine in more than a year. Maybe two.

I, too, would like to know. I just filled up my 64GB memory card, and would love to be able to use a larger card.

Edit:

Homebrew vita's can use a MicroSD card in place of a Vita Cart to replace the internal memory or memory card.

I will have to look into this.

Edit 2: Oh, well, my Vita has the latest firmware which means no homebrew for me.
