[VITA] Official PS Vita Thread

[jms493]

I am sure it is vita specific. If it wasnt they wouldnt be charging 40 for DH. The system would be awesome if we could download all psn shit. But no way.

That's what I figured. If that were the case it would make cash ins like DH completely pointless.

All this talk about Vita has made me think of picking it up along with MLB 12 The Show Vita game (already getting the PS3 version). I will probably preorder all the accessories & memory card next week from Amazon...really like all the Hori stuff.

I pre-ordered some things for the Vita with the intention of picking it up on 3/6 (along with MLB 12 Vita/PS3). I just hope stores don't offer it with some big gift card within the next 2 months.

Jewstop raised the price of their 8 GB card to $34.99........:kanyesmh:

Like how the content manager works with the Mac (out of the box).

edit: Reading an article on GSUK...pretty hard on the Vita. It mainly talks about how unfriendly the user interface is....ie. in order to charge by USB, you have to go to settings and turn on "USB Charging." So I'm guessing if you forget to enable it and plug your Vita to USB, it will do nothing. Another example was how you can't switch from games to everything else as easily shown...if you want to browse the net, while playing a game (he said to get a tutorial to a part of the game), you have to quit the game and then log on to the net....he complained about loading times. Here is the LINK. I'm hoping I find a handful of good games that keep minke playing during it's lifetime.

Dicks.

I re-ordered Hot Shots from Amazon for $30. The other games. Katamari and MNR are priced at $30 anyway so I can wait. Wipeoput was $10 off too but I'm not really all that intered in that right now.

I rally need to find a deal on Uncharted. I'm kicking myself for not ordering from whoever had it for $40 not long ago.

I'm also thinking about switching my pre-order to the 3G release day bundle. Decisions, decisions.

FYI, the rumor is that the free PSN download you get with the bundle is just a $20 PSN card so you can use it on whatever you want. I've also head that even with the 3G access card you still have to "activate" your account initially and that costs $15. Pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.

Looks pretty similar to every other Uncharted trophy list which is fine by me.

 

[ryne candy]

I pre-ordered some things for the Vita with the intention of picking it up on 3/6 (along with MLB 12 Vita/PS3). I just hope stores don't offer it with some big gift card within the next 2 months.

 

I caved and pre-ordered the Wi-Fi Vita and 16gb memory card from Amazon with release date delivery (free with my Trial Prime Membership). Also switched the other items to free 2 day shipping. Just need to get MLB 12 The Show but I'm going to pick it up at BB most likely with Bday gift cards.

If you order the 1st Edition Bundle, you will get the Vita a week early (releases on Feb15th).

Its $349 and you don't get much with it from what I can tell (Case, game , 4GB card? Looks like that on Pic)

PSP vs Vita (Hot Shots Golf)

Why would anyone get this?

 

[Twigg4075]

Why would anyone get this?

Ugh. Do we need to go over this again? For a lot of people, having a portable game device is almost a must. Especially one that has PS3 quality game play and visuals. For someone that commutes on a daily basis like JMS it's perfect. Or someone like me that works midnights and has a ton of downtime, especially when saddled with a prisoner bail hearing or hospital detail. Please don't bring up the mobile phone argument either because almost all of those games are garbage and at the very most something to waste 10 minutes on, tops.

Add to that the fact that, like Ryne has pointed out, you can play The Show on your PS3, then continue your season on the go, and then come right back to your season on your PS3 when you get back home.

 

[jms493]

yup....I will get one eventually but I am going to wait out the launch. My iPad does a pretty good job of keeping me busy with movies and some decent games. I still hate playing games without buttons and probably will forever. I would probably not get it if I did not commute to work on the bus.

I'm in the same boat. I can't fathom how people enjoy mobile games. I think all of them suck ass. I absolutely LOVE games but can't stand spending more than ten minutes playing those shit games. Angy Birds included. I even downloaded NBA Jam and Dead Space for my iPod a while back. I just couldn't get past the lack of actual controls.

 

[jms493]

Been playing kindom rush on the iPad and it is quite good. Tower defense game...so controls are a non issue but for .99 I have spent a good 2-3 hours already with game. Fun stuff.

games like that are doable on the ipad..........screen is big enough. I cant imagine playing on an ipod touch.

 

[Bomberooski]

Man I love Hot Shots and MLB on handhelds

 

[jms493]

yeah "the show" on psp was always very good.

I like being able to play a season on both systems....but you have to buy both games of course...:irked:

I can see how tower defense and RTS games would be fine but I actually don't like either of those genres.

Going to give "Kingdom Rush" a try as I'm looking for some good iPad apps.


Back to Vita, the load times are going to make or break this thing for me.
