Sony PSVITA Discussion

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

Just got back from upgrading my wifi version to the 3g version at Gamestop with $299 bundle they have. Doubt I would ever use the 3g after the free data, but it will make for nice backup if I want it

Makes perfect sens getting the 3G version with the extras. I have friends who bought WiFi Ipads and every once in a while wished they had 3G. I would never use 3G , but if I need it, its there.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

Played it. Thought the graphics were very impressive for a handheld. Then I realized that it is in fact a handheld which means like the DS, like the PSP, it would last maybe 3-4 days until I'd be bored with it. Maybe the price drop later in the fall will entice me. Hopefully it's supported better this time around, that would also be a factor as the PSP had terrible support after the first 6-12 months.

LOL! Awesome



I just picked up the 8GB card at Gamestop, can't believe how tiny it is.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

I'm really surprised by the lack of buzz for this thing. I've been in a couple Gamestops over the past week and no one was playing the demo units. One college-aged kid bypassed the vita to check out some sony 3d tv glasses or something.

I'm blown away by it, but I guess I'm in the minority. Can't wait for The Show, and hopefully NBA 2K, Madden, etc.

I have noticed the same thing as far as the systems being unoccupied at Gamestops. I don't really mind though - it gives me more time to play it!

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

Yeah I agree Winston. For me, the thought of being able to play a sports game with a detailed franchise mode and sexy graphics like that immediately sold it for me. In addition, I'm a big time fighting game fan and by the second week of March the system will have three legitimate fighting games available.

Me and my girl travel a lot (pretty much anytime we have an extended amount of time off) so I would love to have this with me on trips.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

I'd be concerned, you risk losing developer support in a tough economy if the console doesn't do well. Just because in the near term a few titles look good, doesn't mean the publisher support will stick around to support any unique features of the console.

Before you know it you just have a handheld that just gets ports of PS3 games and little more. The good thing is that the above observations are anecdotal, we'll see how well it sells.

That being said, I didn't see what it was for but glimpsed my first Vita commercial the other night. Only caught the end when it said Vita.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

I may be in the minority but I would actually be fine with a handheld device with just ports of PS3 games. I got so much enjoyment out of my PSP last year and it was basically dead as far as support goes.

No UMD -> Vita program for the US.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

I've decided to pass for now...

1. No way to output to a TV.
2. Most likely will be a 2nd version that will be thinner/lighter/brighter and will be capable of outputting to a TV.

or at least here's hoping.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

I've never understood why the need to use a handheld on a TV.
Not being smart just wondering what I'm missing.

Man it's crazy to think next week this will be in my hands. We will see if it's worth it....
