It turns out that that fishing game with the cute loli is getting localized.

Don't remind me. I even have Gravity Rush waiting for me on my account and can't afford it.

I mean I could save here and there to buy the console itself but the memory cards are so bloody expensive that it completely alters the value proposition.

i could afford it but as a matter of principle i am not going to let Sony gouge me just because i can afford to be gouge.

In case anyone reading this is in Canada, is interested in the Vita, and doesn't have one already; Sony will start offering the 3G version from the 2nd of October.

(Looks like the data service provider is Rogers in this country.)

Yeah, I was also considering buying a Vita even though I only play PC and console games normally, and I'm ok with paying €230 for it, but the memory cards are just a ripoff. €80 for 32GB may have been a proposition six years ago, but today? Hell no. They are not getting my cash for this. They should've gone for a standard card format just like how they went with 2.5 hdd's for the PS3. This just screams "ripoff".

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection = Best game(s) on the PSVita.
I guess there is enough room for TWO Bosses!!

Now, onto playing Project Diva on the Vita....

[Sides]

Vita is getting Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus and Muramasa: The Demon Blade!
Senran Kagura was bashed by a lot of people for being all about tits, but now it is okay.

Looks like sony have finally dropped the licensing fees for the vita, expect more ports and more smaller project to come, like it did with the psp.

Hmm.. and this Playstation Mobile, basically sony and partners are rebranding the PS Suite and giving it another boost.

Don't forget the most important news of all: PS+ is coming to the PS Vita. Now I'm dead set on getting one as soon as the prices for memory cards drop and/or after market ones show up. 50€ a year for more games than I can play (and high quality ones at that)? That's a bargain in my book!

A manga reader (and store) will be going live for the Vita in Japan next month.

SCEA have posted some of the Black Friday deals that will be available in the US this time around; three different bundles, each for US$199.99.

Also, version 2.0 of the system software will be up next week; adding an email app, some sort of browser update, and support for PlayStation Plus on the Vita:

those are some great deal indeed. Really want the white vita but I will hold on for slim one since my fat one is like a tank.

Nah, there's just more of it to love!

(I have to say that my old PSP-2000 looks awfully small ever since I got used to the Vita...)

[JohnNiles]

I'm pretty steamed about buying a Vita full price a couple weeks before the Thanksgiving deals; on the other hand, I don't enjoy the hassle of Black Friday anyway. I guess I'll just take out my frustration by not buying marginal games I might've picked up otherwise.

I'm using one of the smaller memory cards- don't feel like storing digital downloads on such on a card, so I'll get by for a while.

[Dextro]

Well, I'm a sucker so I just bought one. I got the 4gb card for now banking that in a few months time someone will come out with a cheaper option.

I must say though that it didn't even take me an hour to get annoyed with Sony: I have a full copy of Gravity Rush I won on a contest a few months ago and I had it on my PSN account. When I went to download it the store wouldn't let me. Apparently a PSP 2000 and a Go count to the 2 device limit on Vita games (which is just ridiculous since they can't even play the damned things).

[chikorita157]

I have a Vita since August as a present and the screen is a step up from the PSP that I borrowed from my sister to shamelessly play Idolmaster SP. However, I bought mine with a 16 GB memory card since I download games, but I think the memory card price is what bringing the Vita down at the moment besides the system costing $250. Still, I don't regret it.

In fact, I do plan to get some more games on the Vita for Christmas compared to the 3DS, which I only have one I really want to play (Paper Mario Sticker Star).

There is a way to de-activate one of your PSPs from your current PSN acount, in order to free up a slot for the PS Vita; if you go to the PlayStation Network tab on the XMB, then into Account Management, and down to the System Activation option.

(The same can be done with the Vita itself, in case you need to exchange it in for a new one at some point.)

It is a shame that you have to do this in the first place, though...

Yes Yes, done it already and am in the process of reactivating all my games prior to the change in licensing conditions (VC2 and LBP dlc mostly)

[SOGESNAKE]

Yeaaaah, finally got around to getting a Vita. Took advantage of the EB Games/Gamestop trade-in promotions and amassed about $180 from 6 games, 3 controllers, and the PS3 Sharpshooter.... so pre-ordered Persona 4 Golden for Tuesday, and picked up the Black Ops Vita Bundle (well, it was between that and the Assasins Creed Bundle, so I was torn between which one I wouldn't play~ ).

Registered everything, got everything set up. Now all that's left is to wait for Persona 4 Golden and the Vita Skin/8 Themes that come with it. Why is Tuesday so far awaaaaaaaaaaay?
