[VITA] Official PS Vita Thread

[ryne candy]

Japan retailers are lowering the price 20% to get it out the door. If I wanted the system, just to play one game, I would wait till it goes on sale.

The iPod has killed traditional handheld gaming.

I couldn't care less if the Japanese people aren't really into it. I'm still going to get my Uncharted on day one. I can see how some people could be turned off though.

I dont want to pay full price and in 2-3 months see bestbuy or amazon put some crazy bundle for good value or $100 gift card for buying it.

Rumor going around that if you Preorder Vita first edition, get Uncharted Golden Abyss free at BB

That would be awesome. I was already considering switching my pre-order from Gamestop to BB anyway.

Not biting on that one. I don't want the 3G model (which is what the first edition is), and I could get the Wi-Fi only model and Uncharted for $50 cheaper anyways, just have to wait a week later.

Oh, I don't want the 3G model either.

I'm still not totally convinced I need one of these right away

 

[Twigg4075]

Oh, I slept on the fact that the First Edition is the 3G model. Pass.

Just read on the Twitters that AT&T released the prices for data.

$15 for 250MB
$25 for 2GB

No contracts.

That is what they have for iPad and AT&T blows monkey balls.
At least they do here.

I wouldn't leave the house with it anyway.

Announced today that the Vita will be able to stream Netflix. Also revealed today that the Vita has sold half a million units in Japan so far.

I wonder how much data streaming Netflix uses? If it's more than 2GB per month that would be shitty considering you have to pay your Netflix subscription plus $25 to AT&T?

As this launch gets close I must admit I'm getting excited. I'm not ready for a new home console but I am ready for a new piece of hardware.

Vita game Ruin now has a permanent name, "Warrior's Lair." Also, the shooter Unit 13 has a release date of March 6.

I was listening to CAG podcast and CheapyD had really nothing good to say about the Vita. I'd post a link to where he is actually talking about it but they don't have Fast/FWD unless you're listening on iTunes

I just listened to that yesterday and you need to remember two things. 1) He even says that he is the only person that he knows of that hasn't been glowing about the Vita. He went on to say that he guested on another podcast (8-4play?) and he was the ONLY one on the show that wasn't praising the thing. 2) He is a gigantic Apple fanboy. He spent his whole time comparing the thing to an iPhone. He obviously cares more about apps and stupid shit than actual games. Shipwreck even interrupted him to say "But what about the games. That's what I care about." And that's what I care about. I don't give a fuck about how Twitter works on the damn thing. I care about the games, trophy system, my PSN friend's list, etc.

That whole podcast reminded me that I need to stop listening to those guys. Wombat is not funny anymore and Cheapy D is the most annoying Apple fanboy I've ever heard. He thinks Apple can do no wrong. When he said "The Vita interface is kind of lame and I noticed a few glitches. It's nothing like an Apple product. An Apple product never has issues." Are you fucking kidding me? iTunes is the biggest piece of shit on my computer and my iPod has issues all the time. He's a fucking clown.

I'm not saying the Vita is the greatest device ever created but please don't take CheapyD's word for it. I can guarantee you that if it was the same fucking device but had an Apple logo on it he would be jizzing all over the damn thing.
