Using memory cards
Although there's 1 GB of internal memory built in to your PSTV system, that may not
be enough for you depending on the size of what you save on the system and how
you use it. So, if you need more space to save your games and content, you can use
a PlayStation®Vita memory card (sold separately).
PlayStation®Vita memory card
Caution
• Only insert or remove the memory card when the system is switched off. Always
power off your PSTV system.
• Once a memory card is inserted, data will be saved to it, and not to the internal
memory card. Saved data will be located on the inserted memory card, and this
location cannot be changed until the inserted memory card is removed.
• The internal memory card - including data you've chosen to store there - cannot
be used when a removable memory card is inserted.
