I see where you are coming from. But sony is selling a multimedia device, with almost no internal memory what so ever. To put those videos and songs the showed at the confrence, and even some games save data, you need to pay Sony's price for memory, which doesnt reflect market trends. If you buy an ipad, you can do what ever it allows you to. With a Vita, you essentially cant use the PSN store, until you buy that memory.

It's typical Sony.
Design a fantastic piece of hardware, promise the world and at the last minute stick something sharp and uncomfortable right up the consumers ass.

It's more like Sony still wants to offer you bleeding edge technology, but this time they want to maintain a healthy software AND hardware business.Opus Angelorum said:

LOL, being open made them go after sony less since you could do part of the stuff hacking the system means to achieve, they then removed one of those features and the shit started hitting the fan. Gamers didnt give jack shit about it because it was 600 motherfucking dollars and as with all video game consoles, its about the games (and now online) and everything else is secondary.
The openness of not having to buy bullshit like overpriced HDDs and being able to use the Saturn usb pad is one of the things that made me get a PS3. At least Nintendo is continuing this partially on their next systems (SD card for 3DS, USB HDDS as of now for Wii U). Too bad they went back to stupid region locking that makes hackers set their sights on you.
It's funny. The company who tries the least (Apple) to woo gamers is eating both Sony and Nintendos lunch.
Portable gaming is dead to me. Give me Tiny Tower and I'm good. The days of the dedicated gaming handheld are coming to an end my friends. Well maybe not in Japan but those peeps are straaange. (see love+)

I am still excited about the hardware and potential future software (which i was hoping i would know more about today), but just less so now that the realities of Sony being a business set in. I think alot of us fall into that.

Isn't 2200mAh absolutely gigantic? My original PSP's battery broke a few years ago and I fell down the awful rabbit hole of the third-party battery market (long story short: they're all fake, don't believe anything), and 2200mAh is what the original PSP's Stamina Battery was rated at. The one that would make a phatty last 8+ hours and a 2000 about 11 hours. The Vita must be an absolute hog to chew through one in three.
Some part of me knew that there was no chance of good news for the Vita's battery, but I had to actually see it in a press release. Even though I expected it I kind of feel like cancelling my pre-order. I know there probably won't be another handheld that outlasts it but I still really hate seeing an empty battery warning light all the time.

the thing is, there is hardly a reason to have a memory card for the 3DS. The inclusion was wholly unnecessary since it has internal memory and there was nothing to download at the time, and a few small things to download now.
every Vita game is getting a digital and retail release. it seemed like the online store was important to the vita, without taking Suite, PSP and PSN games into account.
that's what makes it supremely boneheaded. Sony is hurting themselves with this.

The memory card is also optional. So what's your point?angelfly said:

Barely optional.
The press release even said some games would require it.

True, but thats why the 4 gig is available. Thats probably gimped from a heavy user point of view, but will probably do fine in the "I cant believe you got me this version mom" market.Gamer @ Heart said:

No, but they can get away with overcharging because...they can get away with it. I know it sounds silly, and I personally think it's incredibly dumb, but Apple has a loyal diehard fanbase that sony lacks.
Apple could put out the iphone5 tomorrow with virtually no upgrades and a small cosmetic change, charge $600 and the thing would sell like crazy. Course, they probably couldn't get away with it for long...at least I hope they couldn't...

So if you want to access anything from the PSN, you'll have to pay a high price for Sony's memory card. That's so nice.......

I've always praised the hardware, and the pricing. It's perfectly reasonable to be annoyed at the software implementation, considering I have to buy a PSVita for my step son.
I don't mind paying for the platform if it offers great value, which the PSVita clearly does. I'm not however looking forward to purchasing £30+ games along with expensive storage.

Definitely not getting the Vita if they're going to nickle and dime like that, and I'm definitely not getting a 3DS until I can play imports and/or I know what the next revision will be like.
Guess I'll just get a DSiXL and play the games I missed out on for now.

Ok, I know prices will maybe be slightly cheaper in America, but to get what the 3DS offers in a singular box, (System, Charging Dock, 2GB SD card, 4GB is Vita baseline though), it'll cost about $315 or so on the Vita?
That's kinda messed up. You could get an extra game or two with that money.

Lets see how common that is first, I'm dubious about that statement tbh, I know it's in the pdf but I still have a feeling it could be a rarity, if not then yeah that would be silly having to save to a propriety memory card when gaming on a flashcart.
