Sony Japan has ceased taking orders for SD and CFexpress cards from both dealers and consumers as of today.
Sony has declared that beginning March 27th, 2026, it will no longer process orders for almost all products in its CFexpress and SD memory card series. The memory products affected comprise CFexpress Type A, Type B, and SDXC/SDHC cards, though a limited selection of Type B and basic SF-UZ series SD cards will still be in production, as reported by PetaPixel, and they might still be available in stores while current supplies last.
This includes purchases from the brand’s authorized dealers as well as regular customers “for the foreseeable future,” coinciding with the announcement on the same day that Sony will increase PS5 prices globally.
The notification was published on Sony Japan’s website and is also mentioned on the product pages for the impacted items in its online shop. Sony indicated that the choice was made due to the ongoing shortage of solid-state memory and “other variables” that may encompass a helium scarcity resulting from the conflict in Iran, which has also started to affect chip manufacturers.
We appreciate your ongoing support for Sony products.
Owing to the global scarcity of semiconductors (memory) and other circumstances, we expect that supply will not be able to satisfy demand for CFexpress and SD memory cards for the foreseeable time. Therefore, we have resolved to temporarily halt the acceptance of orders from our authorized dealers and from clients at the Sony Store starting March 27, 2026.
Concerning the resumption of order acceptance, we will evaluate the situation while monitoring supply and will confirm it separately on the product information page.
