The Playstation Vita

what advantage you talking about:?

you dont need PSP to play psp game on Vita

Not every PSP title in existence is downloadable.

How did you think it was gonna work for games that aren';t downloadable? Did you think they had the games already uploaded, but just hadn't bothered to put them up for sale?

And the launch library. Or at least, the first and second party launch library, with the 3rd party titles coming later.

Honestly, though, this list isn't as impressive as it could have been. With some of the titles announced for close to the launch, the Vita could have had the single best launch library of any console in history. As it is, its now just one of the best, alongside things like the Dreamcasts launch library.

so Gamestop revealed the price of the memory cards*

lol.

you forgot to add that they are 30MB/sec which is needed for ps3 like game

like this http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PRO-HG-Memory-Stick-MSHX32A/dp/B003USISNK

beside i am buying first edition bundle

^^ From what I've heard, they will boot up, in the same way that games like Eternal Darkness would on the Gamecube. You can play, but you can't save. Sony simply are not allowing saves to the actual games, instead it must be to the memory. From what I've seen, it has something to do with the games being available for download as well meaning they can't allow internal saving.

the ps vita cost up to 250 to 300 dollars depending on the model. a decent amount of memory will cost you from 30-120 dollars. the games cost 40 bucks. if you want to get the CHEAPEST combination and get 1 game that would total around: 319 dollars and 99 cents. This is the video game industry equivalent of shooting your self in the foot with a blender.

And they said the 3DS cost too much...

Yeah, still debating on whether to get a Vita.

No, the cheapest combination is the $250 bundle of a game, the Vita and a memory stick.

And are you seriously doing the "yeah, but if you take the base model, plus the extras, its expensive" thing? What, areyoupartof the Kinect marketting department now?

Best model/card combo costs $420 without any games?

Yeah, not buyin'.

^Trust me, anything connected to an AT&T network isn't the "best model."

Or Vodaphone in Britain and Australia.

^^ Who in their right mind has 32 Gigabytes of save data?

x7 No they won't. If a game that requires the memory card is run on a system without a memory card, it won't start at all. You can't even play the game.

That said, speaking about the prices... you can get a Class 10 SDHC card of equivalent size at ~20-25% of the price of these Vita memory cards. I think I know how they are going to make a profit out of Vita, huh?

you can use othe carrier if you want. (if you use vodafone you get free wipeout thought)

technically they still be priced at 120 something. amazon is the one that drop the price. not surprised if they cut this say 119 to 100

You'd obviously need the 32GB if you're going to take advantage of their online buying service to its fullest extent.

If you're planning on using it that heavily, though, it isn't asking too much.

^It's asking you to increase the price of the system by 50% in order to use all of its features.

No, its asking you to do that to use all of them at once. I'll remind you, there are unlimmited downloads on the games on Ps N as long as you are on the same account. If you were to delete it off the thumbdisc when the feature is not in use, you can still access all of your features with just the standard size.

It's asking you to increase the price of the system by 50% in order to use all of its features.

Holding multiple games on a memory stick isn't really a feature, exactly. There's nothing you can't do with the cheapest stick; the extra space just makes it easier.

Besides, if everyone buys only a single one of the cheapest sticks due to the massive overpricing, the prices on memory will have to come down. =P

So Sony heard youy like non-traditional pricing structures....

I think the smallest 4GB size is good for lots of saves, DLC and some PSN games. I think it should last pretty long... but when you really don't want to shuffle around games and/or have a lot of media, one should go for at least 8GB.

Well, that settles it for me. I will wait for some price cuts and for the system to get some more games going for it.

First adoption always carries with it high costs and risks. I'm not sure why this is so shocking to some of you.
