And when I say I'm worried about sales... They seem to be on the up in Japan.

What do "American Gamers" think of the Vita.

Cool MotorStorm RC video run down of online competitive play.

Looks fun. If this 10-15 bucks I'll get it.

This may be a stupid question... But any memory stick can work on this right? I think I have an 8 gig around the house somewhere.

 

[Superhero 101]

Nope

 

[Benstamania]

Seriously?

Crap... Ah well, at least preordering (either model) at GameStop nets you an 8 GB card.

 

[KALEL114]

Um, hate to tell ya, but the 8gb card only comes with the 3G/WiFi model. WiFi only doesn't get one.

In other news, the UK gets all of the cool stuff.

[Benstamania]

^No, GameStop.. At least mine, will be giving 8GB Vita cards with WiFi only models as a preorder bonus.

 

[KALEL114]

Really? Why isn't my GS doing this? That's great for you.

 

[Benstamania]

No clue... but that's what mine is doing. They don't have to many preorders though... So maybe they're using it as a way to get some?

 

[KALEL114]

Sweet. Wonder if more will start doing that? Probably closer to launch.

 

[Benstamania]

Well crap.. Apparently they aren't doing it anymore but they were. Just texted my friend. Now I don't know what to do. On one hand I'm NEVER going to use the 3G feature... On the other.. I want the stupid stick.

 

[KALEL114]

The way I look at it is, maybe we will not use the 3G now, but it will be nice to have just in case a game comes out that gives you incentive to use it. I have a feeling devs are going to be asked to add more content dedicated toward the 3G feature in future games. The no contract/pay a month at a time, makes it an easier decision for me.

 

[Benstamania]

Getting the 3G version may make me only pick up one game with it.. Which kind of blows. I wanted to get Uncharted and either Rayman or MVC3... If I get 3G I may only have to get Uncharted.

I dunno.

 

[KALEL114]

I would suggest waiting on Rayman. Ubisoft, not surprising, has charged way too much for their Vita games. I'm waiting until it goes down, which will probably take a month or less.

 

[Benstamania]

I wish we were getting a stellar RPG for the Vita at launch. Probably asking a bit much but still.. Uncharted and say... Champions of Norrath revival on the Vita? Gold Jerry, Gold!

 

[KALEL114]

That is so true. That is the genre that is severely lacking. Hope we get announcements for some.

 

[Benstamania]

I played the heck out of Champions of Norrath on the PS2. I just wish we could get something like that again.

Maybe Diablo 3.. Since it's coming to consoles, will get a Vita launch?

 

[KALEL114]

Just noticed that the 4gb and 8gb memory cards are $5 cheaper at Amazon. $19.99 and $29.99 respectively.

Oh Amazon Prime.. I thank you. I have a 4gb SD in my 3DS and still have alot of room left on it. I never had more than a 4 in a PSP... I wonder how much I'd need for a PSP. I think getting an 8 is playing it safe... but part of me wouldn't mind getting a 16.

 

[Benstamania]

Man, I must have been out of the Vita loop... MvC3 is only 40 bucks? I thought every Vita game was going to be 50.

 

[KALEL114]

I love Amazon Prime and Amazon in general. For example, I reserved Uncharted when it was $39.99 and they honor it. So awesome.

8gb is plenty for me personally. I guess it depends on whether you plan on putting Music and Videos on there. I have my phone for that, so the 8gb is reserved for DL games and the occasional game save.

The game prices are not that bad. The problem is that the prices are determined by the Devs, so that's why they are so varied.

 

[Benstamania]

I will have zero music and zero movies on my PSVita. If I want to watch a movie I'll watch it at home (we don't travel much) and all the music I have is either on my PC or on my phone.

It will strictly be used for game saves.. Not even so much DLable games... Maybe PSX/PS2/PSP classics.. If we get 'em.

Maaaaybe.

 

[Superhero 101]

Same here The only time i will watch a Movie is through my Netflix

UMvC3 launched at $40 on the PS3. I dont think they would launch games higher than its console counterpart
