The knock-on effects from the RAM Storage Crisis and escalating SSD prices are being felt hard by Sony this month. Sony Japan has announced on its official website that "due to the global shortage of semiconductors (memory) and other factors "it is making the decision to temporarily suspend orders of its CFexpress memory cards and SD memory cards.

As of March 2026, any orders from "authorized dealers and from customers" haven't been accepted from any Sony stores. According to the original post, this affects CFexpress Type A and Type B memory cards, and Sony SDXC/SDHC memory cards, which isn't the best news if you depend on Sony cards to store and run games on your older Nintendo Switch handheld and other devices.
