I may actually have to hold off on the Vita at launch.. I have to put a few things into my car.. blah!

 

[Superhero 101]

I think i will also be trading in my PSP Go there is a good deal at Gamestop that you get $75 if you trade it in. I already have about $130 down for the Wifi edition.

 

[KALEL114]

Is that with the extra $25 they give you for trading it in toward a Vita?

Yeah I hardly use it anymore it just sits there on my desk collecting dust.

 

[Dave McFly]

I plan on getting mine at wal mart, cause I have 75 bucks in gift cards just collecting dust in my desk drawer. I just need to decide which game to get at launch probably will get the Drake one.

Is that an across the board trade in value for the PSP Go @ Gamestop or is it just the value they give you towards the Vita?

 

[Benstamania]

I'm just gonna stick with getting Uncharted and the free PSN game in the 300 bundle. I will wait for the other launch games to drop in price.

 

[KALEL114]

Yeah some of the devs are crazy (looking at you Ubisoft). There is no way that Lumines is worth $40. I looooove Lumines mind you, but not $40 worth. I am getting Uncharted and Hot Shots at launch and waiting out the others. Still hoping for some Plus love in the form of discounts.

 

[Benstamania]

I enjoy Wipeout.. But the series really hasn't evolved alot. I have a feeling some devs (Ubisoft) are going to try to price as high as they can. Capcom at least kept UMvC3 at the same price its console version unlike Ubisodt and Raymond.

 

[Benstamania]

Rayman * Stupid autocorrect.

It goes towards the Vita.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

It goes towards the Vita.

Ah, cool. Thanks man.

 

[Superhero 101]

I traded it in and got $50 plus another extra 15 for being a Gamestop member. So got like a total of $65 towards it. But i have a Grand Total of $211.74 toward the Vita.

 

[KALEL114]

I went ahead and pre-ordered Gravity Rush, just in case they pull an Uncharted and raise it to $49.99.

[Benstamania]

I'm really, really looking forward to the Resistance game.

IGN will be posting up reviews for the Vita Games Toomorrow Uncharted Review is at 6am pst

 

[Havok83]

I held this thing at Best Buy yesterday. Its extrmeley light relative to its size. Kinda threw me off. Its well designed and the screen is huged. All that was loaded on it was a demo of Little Deviants. Not really my thing. I wasnt really feeling the back touchpad, at least not initially as thats something that would get some getting used to.

Uncharted Golden Abyss review: 8.5

http://vita.ign.com/articles/121/1218557p1.html

 

[Electro UK]

Not long to go now. Definite buys are Uncharted, Super Stardust, Escape Plan and MotorStorm. I may splash out on FIFA and Rayman.

 

[KALEL114]

FIFA looks great. I like how the back touch pad is used as the outline of the goalie's net. Just tap the location of the net you want the ball to go and it will be kicked there.

 

[Benstamania]

Man.. I made the mistake of reading IGN's talkback. SO many people there crybabying about the price of the system.. I'm sure all from their iPhones...

 

[KALEL114]

It's funny to see how fickle some gamers can be. When the price was announced at E3, everyone was blown away. Now, it's too expensive. The launch line up was announced and it was hailed as one of the best launch line-ups we've seen. Now, it's not that great.

It's all pretty silly to me.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I remember seeing it and I was like "This things going to be 500 bucks" and then they're lik "250-300" and EVERYONE was like "Holy poop... that's 3DS price range! AWESOME!"

Then the 3DS dropped in price and now everyones like "boo! Price drop it Sony! TOO MUCH!"

Anyway.. Kotaku's got a good review up on the Vita as a whole.

[UltimateWebhead]

People are gonna complain about it no matter what. I read a review in which the reviewer complained about minute software issues such as loading times for games and no multitasking feature. Although those are valid points, they can usually be cleared up with software updates. The Vita could turn straw into gold and there would still be people complaining about it..."WTF, C'mon Sony...I gotta buy only Sony brand straw?!? This blows. I'm waitin for a price drop!!"

 

[KALEL114]

Amazon just dropped this off. Woot.
