Sony temporarily suspends memory card sales due to shortages

Sony has announced that as of March 27th, 2026, the company is no longer accepting orders for nearly all the products in its CFexpress and SD memory card lines. The list of affected memory products includes CFexpress Type A, Type B, and SDXC/SDHC cards, although a few models of Type B and low-end SF-UZ series SD cards remain in production, according to PetaPixel, and you may still be able to find them on shelves until the existing supply runs out.

This includes orders from the company’s authorized dealers as well as general consumers for “the foreseeable future,” with the news coming out on the same day Sony said it will raise PS5 prices worldwide.

The announcement was made through Sony Japan’s website and is also referenced on the individual listings for affected products in its online store there. Sony says the decision was made as a result of the ongoing shortage of solid-state memory and “other factors” that could include a helium shortage due to the war in Iran that has also started to affect chipmakers.
