Official PlayStation Vita Thread

I'd probably buy a bigger model, personally. It wouldn't surprise me if they were doing this to make it more compatible as a PS4 controller or something.

The big screen for me would probably work bc I wouldn't be using my Vita on the go. That thing would be too big to carry around and I have my phone for quick gaming while out (which I don't do much of anyway). Big screen would probably be better for PS4 compatibility especially the remote play features. I played the PS All Stars demo in a store and the characters looked too small so any console game which is also released on the platform would benefit.

Not mention and probably wont happen, but Id also want them to include HDMI out, internal flash memory (like at least 4gb) and support for different memory cards. The proprietary ones suck if they are going to stay as expensive as they are and if Sony wants an influx of new owners as well as the push of digital sales, they need to make that affordable and opening it up to cards that people already own or can get cheap, would improve that.

A price drop o's rumored too.. IMHO, it almost has to drop. 170 is a sweet spot.

If they go with a bigger screen, it kind of seems unlikely that they'd drop the price as that would lead to an increase in production costs. I can see them launching this new model at $250 and doing a price drop on the existing Vitas. $199 for those with retailers doing various sales until stock is depleted.

New Vita rumors sound interesting I actually don't mind the vita getting bigger as long as it gets slimmer i think the problem i have with my vita is that it is bulky and a pain to put in my pocket if it were to get slimmer like a iPhone or a Samsung galaxy I am all for it being 6.3 inches

If they get rid of the OLED screen that would drop costs a good but .

Activision and Sony have yet to make a formal announcement, but Call of Duty: Ghosts could be coming to PlayStation Vita if a GameStop Spain slip-up is any indication. TheSixthAxis spotted a listing for a Vita version of Ghosts, which has since been removed. Activision's Dan Amrich says this is purely the work of an "over excited retailer."

Last year, Activison and Sony collaborated on Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified on Vita. It was awful. IGN will be streaming Sony's Gamescom 2013 press conference tomorrow at 10am Pacific. The company emphasized some new information on Vita was en route.

We've asked Activision and Sony for info on Ghosts on Vita in the meantime.

I just might end up buying a Vita with that price drop.

 

[Tron Bonne]

It's on my radar now, too. Still not sure, though, especially after just putting down that much for a 3DS XL. Maybe for the holidays. Does the Vita have any memory on it's own? Because those memory card prices are still kind of high.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I'm definitely interested in a Vita, but will probably wait until Black Friday to see what kind of deals are put up. The memory cards specifically are still too expensive, so some kind of Black Friday bundle seems like the best option.

Compiled a list of 20 of my favourite Vita games. Good place to start for anybody looking to pick up the system now. Though haven't played Persona/Hotline yet so they're missing.

Hotline Miami is epic. And it plays really well on the vita. It also look cleaner on the vita than on the ps3 imo.

 

[Benstamania]

Spoiler

I only paid like 5.90 for it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Seeing that Gamestop bag is it safe to assume you traded a kidney or two to get that price? Or your soul?

 

[Benstamania]

Traded my 3DS as I haven't bought a game for it for quite sometime..And I'm not all that excited for anything coming out in the future.

Killzone looks fantastic..It's hard to believe this is a hand held.

Spoiler

 

[Tron Bonne]

Just the 3DS trade-in got you over $200 in credit!?

 

[Benstamania]

Nah, I also traded Wolverine. I was given a 50 dollar gift card that I never used as well, so.. I only paid 5.90 out of my pocket. 3DS got 150.

 

[Havok83]

Im tempted to getting one. I always go back home during the holidays for up to two weeks and the only gaming I have is my PSP, MacBook and iPhone which really aren't all that adequate. If I get a Vita, the instant game collection gives me a ton of games right off the back and then theres PS4 remote play, so I will be able to use my PS4 on the go. Really, that's such an amazing feature. If they ever release a Vita with HDMI out, that would be a killer feature. Being able to hook up your Vita to a TV to play PS4 games would be a game changer.

 

[Benstamania]

I had like 7 games to download rightaway, it also gave me a year of ps+. The only downside? The memory card is 4 gb.

that sucks but it made me think of. How cool would it be if we could store the games on the PS4 and use remote play to access them. That would definetly solve the space issue but they probably wont do that bc they want us to buy those expensive memory cards

Are you going to buy retail copies or digital?

 

[Tron Bonne]

150 is still good for a 3DS, especially from GS. That part of a current deal by chance? I can't imagine them giving $150 for a $200 piece of equipment; I'd expect no more than $70

 

[Dave McFly]

hell I have a Vita I don't even want I would like to get rid of it but GS was gonna give me like 100 bucks for it and then they would probably sell it for close to 200 (this was before the price drop) so I am sure that price went down some which is sad. I need the funds to pay off my PS4.

do you have any clue how much a PSP-2000 would be?

 

[Dave McFly]

probably under a 100 I just called and with this promo for trade ins I was looking at 117 for my Vita so I am guessing you will probably get 80/90 if your lucky.

 

[Benstamania]

do you have any clue how much a PSP-2000 would be?

I do not my friend is at the GGamestop conference in Texas now so I can't text him and ask. However, with the promotion.. Maybe.. Maaaaaybe 60-70..If that. GS won't even take ps4 game trades anymore.

Well, many of them.
