This Vita bundle is insane... (Vita, mem card, AssCreed $179.99 WOW)

I had sworn to myself that I wouldn't be ever buying another sony portable system after the games I bought the PSP for were released on PS3 which I already owned. That being said I don't think I can pass this deal up.

Also to those who have a vita will the 4 GB memory stick be enough to have enough space to download all the free items off of PSN?

Nope

Hell, Uncharted will take up 90% of the card alone

Nope, Uncharted alone is around 3.2 GB.

Well crap, I bought that Vita bundle from Amazon a couple days ago

They don't have any kind of price protection policy do they?

Message support, they might be able to give you some promotional credit or something.
 
Not an Anime fan, so P4G has no appeal to me. Other than AC Liberatoin and Uncharted what are the must have games on the system? What are some must have games coming out and any major franchises releasing on the Vita in the coming year?
 
Lightning Box deals are typically limited to 1 per address, correct? I need to contingency plan in case this deal isn't available to lowly Canadians.

I added the Liberation bundle to my cart just now and was able to proceed to the final order page, but with deals like this you can never be too sure.

Gravity rush is a must have and so is Lbp.

Coming out we have Killzone Mercenary, Tearaway, FF X HD.

The GiantBomb guys played through Persona 4 and enjoyed it. Those people are not anime fans either.
 
Madness, buy this people.

Lol, if you add the PS+ you get a new Vita with Liberation, Playstation-All Stars, Gravity Rush, Wipeout and Uncharted. Stellar deal.
 
I'm really tempted to buy this and sell my black vita I got used for $160. I figure I should at least get $150 for it after these sales are over but I'm not sure.
 
Is there a custom firmware that is out for the Vita yet that actually works with the 2.0 firmware? Also I am guessing if you flash the firmware you can't play the free ps plus games?

There is no must have tbh.

Gravity rush is fun ( but is a 1 trick pony kinda like AC1), but it is quite anime.

There are a lot of good games on the system, just ain't one that's exceptional.
 
Ok, I'm in. Got a spanking brand new VITA and I am nearly finished downloading Uncharted and FFT war of the Lions. I'm excited to go to the toilet and play me some Uncharted Portable.

How, the deal started already?

chickdigger802 have you played Zero Escape?

PS+ is what really puts this over the top. The 3-month rentals to go with additional benefits that can be reaped on the PS Triple is simply excellent value. There's something for everyone in that list; whoever came up with the idea for this promotion is my dude.

I played some Sony Smash Bros today on a co-worker's Vita and came away impressed with its quality, so it's great that it's included. Liberation, on the other hand, will go to the first person willing to pay me ~$20-$30 for it. The PSP exploit is still a thing ensures I'll have an excellent library to turn to after I'm done with the Vita stuff. As much as I enjoy my Go, I'm very much looking forward to playing RPGs on a larger screen - with texture filtering, to boot!

No. LittleBigPlanet Vita definitely is.
Could not give a fuck less about LBP, so no, it definitely is not.

what PSP exploit?
 
what PSP exploit?

A hack in the PSP emulator on the Vita to allow you to run all the same homebrew you could on the PSP. People find holes in certain games and poke them. Sony find out which game, take it down, fix it and put it back up.

The hack has never escaped the emulator though afaik.

I hope it never does, at least not until the system has had a chance to establish something of a base. It's hard enough to find developers interested in making games on the platform as it is. A hack that allowed Vita isos to be played would be its death blow.

It would scare the developers, but I'm sure system sales would see a nice boost. It did for the PSP, anyways.
 
Think I will try.

Would want to shift AssCreed and maybe the other stuff in the pack.

MLB is one game I've wanted since the other baseball series I played died.
LittleBigPlanet is something that interested me since it was 1st shown and Vita version may be the best, so says a quick google search.
Likely a couple other things out now I haven't found cause I haven't looked that would also make a Vita at this price a fair value to me.

How are Hot Shots and MLB?
 
I didn't think I was going to jump on anything this black Friday. I think Amazon changed that. The Vita looks super slick, and when I've played it at stores, it has been a pretty good time. Even if the version of Assassin's Creed isn't great, I think it is worth it for the P4G and access to the Playstation back catalog.

I do have access to things like Final Fantasy Tactics, and the playstation store even if I don't have a PS3, right?
 
Will we be able to navigate to this using the Amazon mobile app with relative ease? Won't be in front of a computer at the time this goes live.

Yes. Better yet, I think Tactics is free for PS+ users this month.

Yeah, but it didn't happen that soon after its release. It did destroy software sales in the west, iirc.

Sure, Vita sales would probably see a spike if it happened, but then we'd have no games to speak of...

... I guess that's not much different from the situation now.

Ugh, they changed the time for the deal. The midnight time would have been better just in case this sells out in 10 seconds, that way at least I'd have a chance to get a slightly discounted bundle at GameStop tomorrow.
 
No. LittleBigPlanet Vita definitely is.

Seconded. I don't even really like LBP games but the Vita version is hands down the best damn handheld game I've played this year. It's phenomenal. Down right spectacular.

It's his loss at this point for not caring about the greatest game on the system =/ It reminded me of how fun platformers can be after all the lackluster Mario games that have been crapped out lately drove the concept of fun out right out of my brain.
 
I like this ending line:

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation received a 6 out of 10 from Polygon, stating "Ubisoft's desire to transcend low expectations for handheld spin-offs is clear."

If it got a 6/10 Ubisoft clearly failed their desire, lol.

It was such an unnecessary line to add to the article. The point of the article is a PS Vita for $180. You can always sell AC3: Lib if you don't like it. The quality of the pack in is almost unimportant for that price. Shit, I'm tempted to buy a second Vita just for that deal. Lol.

Also, AC3: Lib is not a 6/10 game. It's actually pretty damn good, and does AC on handhelds more than a little justice. I can't really see how a fan of the AC series would be terribly disappointed in it.

Anyway, that is a crazy good deal. Then buy PS+ for 3 months, and you get 6 more games in addition to AC3: Lib. You'll need a bigger memory card, but for starters, 4 gigs will let you download some good stuff like Super Stardust, Mutant Blobs Attack, and one or two of the Plus Freebies. I lived off of an 8gig card for 9 months until I got my 32GB last week.
 
Didn't like 2. How's this different besides better creative tools?

LBP Vita was not my cup of tea. Interesting concept. Very cute presentation. Just no connection with me. Another Vitabro favorite that did not do well with me was Ragnarok. Just made me wish for PSO2 or a Vita port of Phantasy Star Portable 1 &2 to come to the Vita.

My top picks of released games?

Uncharted: GA
Rayman: Origins
wipEout 2048
Super Stardust HD
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
Sound Shapes (Buy 1, get both PS3 and Vita versions)
Retro City Rampage (Buy 1, get both PS3 and Vita versions)
PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale (buy PS3 version, get Vita version free)
Pure Chess
LittleBigPlanet Vita
Gravity Rush

Those are my favorite games on the system at the moment. They all look and play fantastically on the system.

Upcoming games that have my interest:

Dragon's Crown
Guacamelee
Killzone: Mercernaries
Muramasa HD
Tearaway

In my opinion, there's a shit ton on this system that is so good, and the PSP backlog I have is rather significant as well. I love this little guy. Right now, PS All Stars is my favorite, and I'm loving it. I also like AC3: Lib, but it's not one of my favorite games on the system. Still, solid title.

Can you play all PSP digital games on the Vita?

Congrats, enjoy! I just dived into Uncharted myself yesterday, finally, with PS+ and I'm already loving it :( Don't want it to end... Might go back and play UC1/2 properly afterwards.
