Support NeoGAF

[Brannon]

I'll wait quite a few months before thinking about it for the one obvious reason in that it's made by Sony.

 

[kaching]

Same as jarrod. But I've never been one to import and I don't think I'm going to start now, so I'll wait for the NA launch.

 

[mrklaw]

Preordered at play-asia. Although I got stung badly for tax/duty with my first order, so considering cancelling and getting it through local Japanese ties as a 'gift'.

UMD movie lockout

Speculation only so far, but movie lockout might map to DVDs (for the sake of simple licensing maybe?). If thats the case, then a Japanese import will still be able to play UK movies in the UK, as we share the same region.

I definetely agree with this. If the price drops to 199.99 (With accessories) by summer, however, it's gonna be real hard for me to resist buying for the hurricane kit.

 

[Takuan]

When some good games come out for it, I'm down.

 

[mrklaw]

For me, its a good launch line up. Compared to previous ones I've partaken of (most of them).

Certainly better than DC. Possibly on a par with PS2 (I think RRV was launch for that)

 

[acklame]

hell yea i am

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

the low price makes it more attractive, but i'm still not sure. the ps2 is my least played console and the psp is shaping up to be a handheld version of it software-wise. it would be cool to have for roadtrips and such, and it is a sleek piece of tech, so who knows? i might be tempted...

 

[ElyrionX]

Only when I see some killer apps. At $300, I don't see myself picking it up even if there were many killer apps but at $200, the situation changes quite a bit....

 

[mrklaw]

Oh, when you reply, can you also indicate if you are normally the sort of wierdo that pays crazy money for launch hardware with poor software support?

I'll start: Me!

 

[Kseutron]

I'm gonna buy one for sure, but not right away

no killer ap yet

 

[Ghost]

I dont see the point in buying one right away, looks like another disapointing Sony launch at the moment (things could change) i'll pick one up later down the line when developers have had time to really milk it.

 

[AniHawk]

I'll be getting one now.

 

[Midas]

I'm getting one. A $300 price tag wouldn't have kept me away either. I'm probably importing one from Japan in January.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Hell yes.

Just as soon as I find out the device won't crumble to pieces as soon as I remove it from it's package.

 

[Chittagong]

Now that the price is known, I'm getting two.

No, seriously, I am. I want to check out the multiplayer capabilities.

 

[Forsete]

Me fo sho, yo!

 

[mrklaw]

Thats the reason I'm importing from Japan. Get the overengineered ones before they have time to cost engineer it.

I still have my Japanese launch PS2 and its perfectly fine.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I'll get one when i see the first must buy game.

Same.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Hmm, I never thought about the curse of the early adopter with Sony systems. If it isn't just the annoyance of having old firmware, I might be risking noise or disc read errors or something else. I too might wait a couple of months, or til the lineup sweetens the deal.

It looks so awesome though! I can't not buy one

 

[Midas]

Thats the reason I'm importing from Japan. Get the overengineered ones before they have time to cost engineer it.

That's what I'm thinking too. I guess early adopters will notice in a couple of months.

 

[Tritroid]

DS I'll be getting the day it releases.

PSP I had always planned to get 'sometime', after a sufficient wait period. Both because I want to see how the hardware holds up for consumers and because I'm not interested in any of the launch games or the ones directly after.

Talk of the PSP MMORPG has me interested though.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Take a guess .














I have wanted the PSP since the day it was announced .

 

[Gattsu25]

still $100 too much :b

edit: love the tag, pana

 

[Panajev2001a]

Thanks, but props to Evilore for setting it up .

 

[Loops]

One for me... but probably not at launch.

 

[Miburou]

Since the PSP is most likely going to retail for $199 in the US, and it's not likely the price will go down anytime soon, it would seem like a good idea to get a Japanese launch unit.

 

[Soul4ger]

Oh, I'm sure you'll see them on the PSP in three or four years.

Hey, have you heard anything about a port of DRIV3R on the PSP? That sure would rule!

 

[callous]

It's pre-ordered. Not sure if I'll honour the pre-order or if I 'll go with a DS first.
