Sony have confirmed to me that there are still no plans to bring the 32GB PS Vita memory card to Europe. Gamers who want the 32GB can still get the memory card from Japan or the USA and use them in their EU PS Vita's.

I asked Sony about the 32GB Memory Card coming to the UK and this was their reply:
"Currently there are no plans to bring the 32GB removable memory to the SCEE region."

Round Up Of Playstation Vita Pre-Order Prices In The UK [Updated 20th February]


The UK PS Vita launch is now only a couple of days away but there is still time to get a pre-order in. it looked like stores were going to get into a price war over the The Vita, however they seemed to have stopped around the £209 for Wifi and £259 for Wifi+3G Price ranges. ShopTo currently offer the PS Vita the cheapest, with the Wifi+ Pre Order Pack going for £209.86 and the Wifi+3G + PreOrder Pack now £259.85, But Amazon has reacted by dropping their prices. 

I had guessed other shops would follow and drop their prices, but at present there are only 3 shops, Amazon, Shopto, and Toys R US, who have lowered the price of the Vita considerably. in fact, sine i last did this on the 13th, Tesco increased the price of the Vita!

Amazon, on top of their cheap prices, have an interesting deal, very similar to the USA, where you can get A Vita, a free 8GB Memory Card, and a select PSV Game for £15, including Rayman Origins and Lumines.
