Has Sony announced anything for 2013 for the Vita? I am thinking about returning mine today and just sticking with my backlog on the PSP. Don't want to get stuck with a system that will get no games next year.
Soul Sacrifice, Tear away by Media Molecule. Kill zone Mercinaries. A whole slew of Japanese games. Sly 4 and probably Bends new game. ninja gaiden x rated sigma plus plus blood. That's all I remember. Hopefully they have megatons up their sleeves. Oh goodie.

Only compared to small memory cards. The bigger the memory card, the faster it is. Also, I'm thinking that in two years time, memory cards may well be much bigger and faster again, and then I'll appreciate just being able to get my digital favorites on that one and enjoy the benefits again.
What with near challenges and so forth, I consider very many games multi-player and would hate to have to switch for many of them, but in general I can see many games can be played single player as well and don't have to be replayed a lot. I will still consider retail for games bigger than 1.6GB depending on how I expect to play them, but what with Vita's great integration with friend activities and such, I really like digital.
It is partly a financial luxury though. You're likely to be cheaper off for a while yet with a small memory card for save games and getting all releases on cart, saving the cost overhead of a bigger cart as well as being able to resell games you don't need.
Re next year: there will be plenty. But if you need the money for something else now, don't see anything on the horizon that you like, and have plenty of non-digital PSP games to play, then sure, you can always rebuy.
What in the world are we gonna get after PSASBR drops Nov 20? Feb supposed to be Sly 4 and hopefully March SS. Dec and Jan will probably be PSN and Mobile dishes.
I've got a 32GB card. How would that compare to game carts in terms of speed?
Yeah I yet the Near stuff, but they usually give a week to collect them, so I just let them build up and do them at once.

Also there will be games announced obviously
Why is it that Smart As and Frobisher Says, the seemingly innocuous brain/party games, are the ones wreaking the most havoc on people's Vitas. :V
For me at least, having bite-sized content isn't really what constitutes a good handheld game. To be as general as possible, games where a large part of the motivation to play is to experience the AV presentation are ones better suited for consoles. I play my handhelds at home too, most of the time, but usually I'm multitasking -- I'll be grinding in Pokemon or finishing a level in Rayman Origins while the TV's going on in the back and I'm checking GAF.
When I'm playing a game on consoles I pretty much have my focus channeled into doing this one thing, so I want it to be more of a sensory overload. There are tons of console games I'd rather play in a handheld format; many moreso than the number of handheld games I'd rather play on consoles. It's one of the reasons I'm super-excited about the Wii U, it pretty much will let me do both, whenever I want, for whichever games I want (well, usually).
I'm gonna be a bit frank here so forgive me if I come across a bit rude
You made a couple of topics a while back asking whether to get a PSP or Vita. While there was no consensus if I recall, it was suggested where possible, get PSP games on PSN and only get UMD's where there is no PSN version. That was really because if you decided you liked the PSP, you could play the other games partially enhanced on Vita.
You decided to get them all on UMD since they were cheaper. That's fair enough and makes a lot of sense. But if it was a case of saving money, why'd you bother buying a Vita when you had such a large PSP backlog? If you are already considering selling the Vita, then
you must not have been very interested in it the first place. Really you should never have bought a Vita.
Honestly if you sell it for close to what you paid for it, I'd say do so. A lot of upcoming Vita game like Persona Golden, Ys Celceta and others have similar games on PSP. Play them first and if you like then, then you can consider them for Vita. It's why when you asked a few days ago whether to play Vita or PSP games, I recommended you to clear the backlog first.
You can always get a Vita later if you really want to play certain games. But at least make sure you want one instead of getting it a Vita and selling it a week later

Not rude at all. I know I have issues making decisions on this stuff. I bought the AC3 bundle on an impulse when I went in to buy AC3 on the PS3. Seemed like a good deal and the buy 2 get 1 free was going on. I did this knowing that if I did not like it I could just return it to Target.
I do like the Vita. The only thing that worries me are games comping in 2013 and 2014.
I know that I want to play Uncharted and Zero Escape for sure. Knowing what the PS+ for the Vita will be would be a big help. hopefully we will hear something next week.
Well, wait for the PS+ reveal and then decide whether that's enough for you to keep it or not. Really, though, it stinks that you bought all of those games on UMD, because had they been digital, I would have told you to throw that PSP out the door and keep the Vita. But how it is now, there's this huge backlog of games you have and only the PSP can play them, so that would probably be the one to keep. Of course, if you got a good deal on the Vita, and you don't NEED the money right now, then I see no reason whatsoever to get rid of the Vita, but that's just me. I don't really sell my games and systems unless I absolutely need the money, but I do know a lot of people will sell them just if they don't use them enough. I haven't turned my 3DS on in probably 3 or 4 months, but I still have it in case a game comes out I want to play. I mean, I already have the thing, so why not?
Wow. You're right. It took forever to delete. It didn't freeze my Vita though.

Sonic Racing on the Vita is out December 11th...I think that's the last game of the year.

Eurogamer posted a love letter to the Vita today. Maybe it will change a few minds ...

Very nice article. Probably won't change anything but still nice to see Eurogamer putting that up.

I'm planning to return favour and make sure that all capcom games I get in the future will be bought second hand
No, but they have no more announced and given it's Capcom, as well as the sales of the device it's easy to make that connection.

I can... almost see a screenshot in there, somewhere. =P
Yeah the glare. I'm kind of excited for the game though. Maybe Nihilistic made a gem.
Interesting ... 17/33 rule

Whoa, slow down there cowboy. Let's not get hasty!
Is Near just random? I kean at first I thought it meant that a lot of people were buying Vita's, but now it looks like it just finds an extra 4 people every time I update it. I usually update every few hours, and it's gone from 52 to 88 over the course of 2 days. Adding 4 people each time

Mine was the same way, up until it hit about 112 over the course of 2 weeks and then after a day it was down to 7. I think near just kind of sucks.

Get the heck out of here with that witchcraft!
Lol I'm just optimistic because I've been wanting to carry Saturday nights in my Book bag everywhere I go. Who will fix bugs in the game though. Imagine all the cheating will ruin the experience if no one fixes it.

Do you have a 3G or WiFi model? If it's the latter that might be why

This has already been addressed I believe and they've said there is no way they can fathom getting cross-game chat shoe-horned into the PS3 firmware; you'll basically be waiting til PS4 on this one, if I recall correctly.
The SFxT DLC debacle will be a hell of a way for them to go out on a platform!

Just stopped in to say I love my Vita!!!! Something about playing a great assassins creed game and a near console version of Need for Speed game in the palm of my hands feels so good. Next game to get would be Call of Duty, hopefully Nihilistic doesn't fuck this up... Either way I love my Vita.
