They make money on the console with the memory card prices, they wont drop anytime soon. Besides, the 32GB cards often have times where they are sold out because the demand is bigger than the supply.

Now ask yourself: Would you drop the price on an item that in quite a few instances has bigger demand than supply?

a good point, but considering how cheap a 32gb card is nowadays, the mark up leaves a very bitter taste after buying one. I don't mind sony making some money, but the prices are unreal.

I just pretend like it's 2000 and thus something like 32gb on a memory card is mind blowing and expensive... it gets to depressing if you look at the sales on flash drives and sd cards for $10 for 32gb if you treat vita memory cards like they are from this year lol

I might have to this. I don't want to buy a 32gb card because it's so much more expensive than every other 32gb card on the market and as I said above, it leaves a very bitter taste.

As far as I know, which admittedly isn't a lot about this topic, the ps3 wasn't designed to handle PSN and the XMB in it's current form which is why it runs like shit. If nothing else, Vita shows that they can learn from their mistakes and make the Ps4 not run like butt.

I didn't know that but it sure makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

I really hope the playstation 4 runs as smoothly and problem free as this. it's a revelation after using the wii u for the past few days.
 
If the standalone white vita will never come out in the US, what is this? (2nd picture, not my auction)

not sure, as I said the bundle just implied it was limited to that, doesn't mean a white vita won't come out.

if a white vita comes out though I would assume it won't be until after the price drop... which will likely be in march or so... though it might not be until e3... we will have to wait and see
 
Dear god do I want that white Vita pouch listed on Amazon. Too bad it's so expensive.

this one

or this one?
 
Does anyone remember the PSP Go ? Remember how that had 16 GB of internal memory and a mmc slot for cards ? Remember how terrible everyone said the handheld was ? You can't satisfy everyone. Yes, the cards are expensive but at the same time sony need to make money sooo......

Was $250 too.

That's a Japanese Vita's box. They are incredibly similar, but you can see the kanji on the bottom right. The second photo appears to be one of the bundles. There is a slip cover with the bundle's advertisements that is removed to reveal that packaging. You can see it happen here. I think it's someone who bought an AC bundle and are selling the content separately.

this pouch is incredibly luxurious - have one in white and one in black to differentiate the vitas. Gloriously tidy.
 
Thinking about it now though the vita would have been pretty bad ass with 16gb of internal memory

16 gigs of internal memory would help ease the sting of the memory card prices.

32+16gig would be enough for PSP1/2 titles to live together plus PSX games. As it is you run out of space pretty fast if you have VC2+DLC (it's like... 22 gigs?) and like Persona 4 (3 gigs) and a couple of fighting games.
 
Just downloaded Modern Combat 4 and it's better or as least as good as any FPS on the vita. Why doesn't gameloft develop for the video I would love to play MC4 with the vita's dual sticks.

Agreed! I know a lot of people dismiss Gameloft games as shameless ripoffs but I've had way too much fun with Modern Combat 3 and NOVA 3 multiplayer on my Kindle Fire. I just hate using touch controls for FPS games so I'm looking forward to using a bluetooth controller with the Kindle HD.

I would gladly double dip to have these games on my Vita.

People said PSPgo was terrible due to game selection. Not hardware cost, or memory.

Ah thanks. Here I was hoping a standalone would come soon. :D
 
Thanks for this, I wasn't aware of this game and I've been looking for something like Zelda.

Alundra is amazing and the best 2D Zelda ever(better than alttp).

and if you are looking for something similar to the 3D zelda games you can get Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure from the PSP section.
 
Day 4 with my vita and my satisfaction level has gone through the roof.

Wipeout is SO FUCKING GOOD. Seriously you guys... like why did I try AC:L before wipeout? Rookie mistake.

I've got FF tactics (my favorite PSP game) sitting here waiting for me to dig into it. Does anyone have good wallpapers for tactics? There's a bunch of final fantasy title card wallpapers but somehow they neglected the best game in the franchise.

Downloading Jet Grind Radio right now, I bet it looks amazing on this screen.

Going to use my Macbook as external storage. 4gb mem card doesn't even bother me anymore.

as I said before I would hands down take alltp over alundra, would also take links awakening and a number of other handheld zeldas. Zelda was much easier to just pick up and play, alunda took a while to get going and it still hasn't hooked me enough for me to bother finishing it.

you tried AC:L first so you could know if you could sell it to make $20 or so
 
People said PSPgo was terrible due to game selection. Not hardware cost, or memory.

Reviews complained about the price of the hardware, the memory card price/format even though they had 16gb built in, the psn store, the games, the lack of some automatic solution to the umd to digital transfer system(please someone tell me how they could have done this successfully without being sued a billion times along the way ?), the way it looked, the psn store ? even though i'm sure it was pretty similar to the ps3 one at the time and so much more.

The gba launched with a screen you couldn't see and you had to spend so much cash on batteries and its still one of the most successful handhelds to date.

What happened to objective journalism ?

Zelda =checker ,Alundra = chess

so yeah Alundra is better and has more depth,Zelda is for casuals.

Not sure if I could... People say the game gets good, or at that it's at least better then AC3 on consoles, but I just made it to the buyou and am finally playing as the assassin "persona", which is more fun then the other two but still... am I missing something? Does it get way better later?

Is motorstorm RC still free?

Like all Assassin's Creed games, Liberation takes a while to get started.

YES
 
Well I talked about it on the last page as well, unrelated of you. But UC:GA really is a fantastic game. I cant understand people slamming it.

The shooting is so fun. I love the motion controls. Kind of reminds me of using iron sights in CoD but so much more fun because it isn't auto lock on but you physically aiming. Do other shooters on Vita have similar controls?
 
oddly enough I prefer playing checkers over chess in general lol
I'd take backgammon over either of them though.

Maybe pure chess will get a checkers expansion

When was motorstorm free ?

It may not click with you, but for me it's been a great experience. Maybe give it a few more tries?
 
Is it just me or is the free running in ACL really sluggish ? i don't know if its Aveline run animation or if they actually slowed her down for game performance reasons ?
 
I'm keeping my Vita inside the box my Kindle Touch came in for now. I'm hoping there's a case that will fit the Vita without having to take this HORI grip off first.

You mean because R*. R* is releasing ISO dumps of the PS2 GTA games on PSN but those aren't playable on Vita now and according to some people are unlikely to ever be. If R* does an HD collection of GTAIII and GTAPortable games and puts on PSN then you can cross your fingers and kinda hope it's for PS3 and PSV.

Ah, Good to know. Sucks for the Vita owners.
 
I think they could go 60fps if they lower the res and polygons count and cut the lighting effects,but the game might look way ugly.

Oh, I'm sure they could achieve 60fps with cuts.
It'd just be nice to get these kinds of visuals at 60fps in my hands.

Then again, the later NG/NGS games haven't run at a stable 60 since Black IIRC.

unfortunately the average gamer cares more about pretty graphics than solid gameplay :/

Sad but true.
Luckily, Ninja Gaiden Vita ports @ 30fps still beats out every other action game for the Vita imo.

EDIT:
I honestly had no idea 30 FPS changed that.
It does, in a way.
Sure, the game is the same, but how you perceive and react to things is changed.
