What game format will the PS Vita use?

The PS Vita will utilize the new game medium – a small flash memory based card. Taking advantage of the flash memory feature, this innovative card can store add-on game content or the game save directly on the card. By adopting flash memory based card, SCE will be able to provide game cards with higher capacity in the future, allowing developers to store more game data to deliver rich, immersive games. We will announce the official name at a later date.

PS Vita flash-based memory card summary:

1. It can not only store the full software titles but also save data as well as additional game content data. Therefore, the game title can be concluded with one piece of card.
2. Users can play games by just inserting the game medium into PS Vita. (a separate storage media is not required.)
