Don't know if this been posted already but it turns out the Vita can only handle a maximum on 100 program or games regardless of memory card size. If you go over 100 you have to delete one to get vita working again:
Sony's PlayStation Vita gaming handheld caps its selectable content at 100 items, one unlucky forum user recently found out. Despite having a 32GB memory card for the Vita with 9GB of free space left, the Vita told him (as seen above) that the device caps displayable content at 100 items. Worse yet, anything beyond the 100 had to be outright deleted, and the Vita had to be restarted -- if you want to access anything beyond the 100, you need to delete something else. Egads! The Vita in question contained a 32GB memory card with "around 50 [PlayStation] Minis, 10 PSOne titles, 20 or so mandatory apps, and 20 Vita/PSP games/apps" -- something we could easily see ballooning now that PlayStation Plus is on Vita. Management of memory card data can (thankfully) be handled on a PC or Mac using Content Manager Assistant, lest you worry that your data is trapped. Still, having to hot swap between (expensive, proprietary) memory cards on the Vita kinda flies in the face of large storage capacity memory cards, like the 32GB one employed by the unlucky person who discovered the limitation. For its part, Sony isn't saying anything just yet, but we'll update if we hear more. [Photo credit: "shagg_187," NeoGAF]
not an issue now but worth keeping in mind if you start collecting those weekly free ps mobile games
Biggest issue with deleting one to make room for another is that you'll also be deleting the save won't you?

Yep. for me this is hands down Sony's most stupid design of anything. You want to back up your game save? No problem.Tell you what, I'll back up the 3 gig game itself while I'm at it. Backward.
I would guess a digital version of Smash Bros is not particularly appealing to anyone with a PS3 given the Cross-Buy potential on the disc version. Charging ?13.99 (+10% extra off for PS+!) for Lumines seems a bit daft too given it's a freebie for PS+ soon enough.
The games I'm interested in (Shinobido 2 + SFxT) aren't quite cheap enough to tempt me away from getting a physical copy either. Not a bad sale though if you're new to the system and not fussed about boxes!
Think I will grab Motorstorm RC, nothing else jumps out to me really. Hope PSN Vita sales are a regular thing, the format needs any kind of boost it can get.
