Are there other Vita games that have DLC? I'm hoping they'll still release the Tiny Tina expansion at least. Maybe since Tiny Tina was Gearbox developed and not outsourced, they're going to sell it as separate DLC?

It's also weird to have cross-save with the PS3 version since this version doesn't have as many expansions. And it doesn't have the final level raise Vault Hunter Pack so how would I play a level 65 character on there for example?

 

[Possum]

Welp, looks like I'll be picking this up along with Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD. Can't wait to join the Vita Club!

 

[floatingcoffins]

I will buy this.

 

[todd360]

A vita 2000 only sku should be out the same day right? I would rather just spend less and get only the vita. I'm not a big borderlands fan. Plus I already have an 8gb card in my OLED vita.

There are a lot of Vita games with DLC available for them. Hell, the X-2 part of FFX/X-2 is download only, even at retail.

 

[StoopKid]

Spring is going to be very good for vita owners.

God of war
Final fantasy x
Fez

For me.

i wouldn't count on it. this is how sony does their new console/handheld skus. they release bundles first.

 

[TomShoe]

The question is, how much is the Slim standalone?

Around $160-170, and I'll consider picking one up.

 

[Takao]

How long has it been confirmed that this BL2 port was actually in the works, it hasn't been that long has it? And this will be out in spring? Dunno if that bodes well or badly for it. Either way the bundle looks like a great deal, can't wait.

Borderlands 2 was announced for Vita in August of last year. That's a long time for a port.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Slim Vita + Borderlands 2 + all dlc + 8GB memory Card seems like a goddamn excellent deal to me.

Yeah man. This seems like a damn good bundle.

And Borderlands 2 Cross Save! If I can just send my Bordelands 2 save to Vita I'll finally be able to play the game all the way.

 

[ayob]

the slim by itself is probably $199 as well

 

[Reallink]

Has anyone taken a spectrophotometer/colorimeter and done an objective comparison of the 1k and 2k? 1k is obviously vastly superior in terms of MLL and CR, but I'm curious if the 2k is superior in WB, Color (relative to SRGB/REC709), Gamma, ect--as was common with OLED Vs. LCD mobile displays during with 1k's release.

 

[Mutagenic]

So how do you run with your character on the Vita? Is it set to auto-run? Please tell me I don't have to use touch controls to activate it.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Is there anything original coming out for vita? This spring is port city.

[Mr. Hyde]

Dat avatar, Fragile<3

Well for me the 2000's advantages are not enought to outweight the OLED on the 1000.
So yeah, I'm getting it in two weeks hopefully.

Good taste! Despite the really bland dungeons, Fragile remains a game I still think of. I might need to pull out my copy and try it upscaled on Dolphin...

I agree. Vita is not heavy to me and I mostly play it at home, so I am not worried about extra battery life. I sold my 3ds XL to a desperate and lazy co-worker for $150.00 and paid exactly that for a perfect condition Vita 1000 plus accessories.

 

[todd360]

lol have you even read the info about this game? You blow in the microphone to shoot.

 

[BigDug13]

Ok so BL2 with the Season Pass expansion DLC's and 2 character classes and the Vault Hunter Pack 1 takes up over 10GB on PC. Obviously the textures and other assets will take up WAY less room on the Vita, but we're still in a situation where nearly all Vita games are less than 3.5GB.

Is it possible that the reason this version of Borderlands 2 is missing some major content like Tiny Tina Assault is so they can get the game size within a certain limit, then they'll simply sell us the missing DLC?

It seems weird to allow cross-save capability while not even having the expansion that allows you to raise your level beyond level 61. So what happens when I try to load up a character that's level 65?

And it seems weird to be specifically missing 2 expansions that came out WAY before the Vault Hunter Pack 1 was released. The only explanation I could think is that they wanted to stay within a certain size and it will be DLC.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Borderlands 2 will have a reail release too right? I wonder how much it is.

 

[Trago]

Gonna be honest, that looks like a kick ass deal. I wish it was bundled with another game though.

Other than Gravity Rush and Persona 4 Golden, what other great exclusives does the system have?

 

[Green Wiggly]

Nice to see at least an 8gb card included. I'd bite on this if I didn't have a Vita already. Surprised that BL2 is really coming, thought it was vapor at this point. Now I can start wanting it and let the feels happen.

 

[Dead Prince]

Borderlands 2 will have a reail release too right? I wonder how much it is.

lets say there was. let's go with $49.99

 

[Etnos]

Looks cool, at least SONY is trying. Said so, I don't want a handheld... heck I don't even want a smartphone anymore.

 

[5amshift]

I might bite on the bundle. I really want that gray color though.

 

[boredandlazy]

Gonna be honest, that looks like a kick ass deal. I wish it was bundled with another game though.

Other than Gravity Rush and Persona 4 Golden, what other great exclusives does the system have?

Tearaway, Soul Sacrifice, Killzone Mercenary and Uncharted off the top of my head.

 

[anddo0]

I might buy this. I need a second Vita.

I'm not sure about BL2. It was an ugly looking game on the PS3. I can't imagine how it will look with further downgraded graphics.

 

[Rolf NB]

Also missing Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. Are those the only two expansion packs missing? I wonder/hope if they'll be purchasable.

Major packs so far:
*Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
*Captain Scarlett's Booty something something something
*Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep
*Mr Torque's Badass Crater Of Badassitude
*Assault On Digistruct Peak

Another one called Sir Hammerlock And The Son Of Crawmerax is apparently due in April.

Then there's character packs (Mechromancer, Psycho, probably a few more).

There's also this "Headhunter" DLC thing, apparently several episodes of that are already out, haven't kept up, no idea what the scope is. Next one should go live tomorrow in the US.

 

[vagabondarts]

I am all over this. It comes with a memory card, right?

Edit: ah I see. 8GB. Eh....

the oled vita standalone is $199? Why not get this bundle?

TxK
MLB '14
Borderlands 2
FFX
Grandia PsOne (already own through PSN)
Wipeout (own all the games except the Vita one)

That will hold me for awhile XD

Shouldn't have a problem with the included card space either.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Borderlands looked laggy in the sizzle reel

 

[Trago]

Tearaway, Soul Sacrifice, Killzone Mercenary and Uncharted off the top of my head.

I almost forgot about Soul Sacrifice. Are there any more JRPG's? And are there more JRPG's being brought to the west?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Borderlands looked laggy in the sizzle reel

I don't imagine that was even Vita footage.

 

[massoluk]

Almost there.
8 GB is something I'd probably throw away, to be honest, after buying 32 or 64 GB from Amazon. Alas, big cheap memory are still not there.

Also not interested in Borderlands 2. FFX bundle will come, right? :\

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Borderlands looked laggy in the sizzle reel

It was a cutscene... probably not even from the Vita version...

 

[curb]

Spring is going to be very good for vita owners.

God of war
Final fantasy x
Fez

For me.

Did I miss Fez getting a release date?

 

[Milennia]

Yep, says so in the blog article. Also has cross-save with the PS3 version.

Purchase confirmed if the DLC transfers over as well.

 

[Milennia]

Major packs so far:
*Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
*Captain Scarlett's Booty something something something
*Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep
*Mr Torque's Badass Crater Of Badassitude

There's also this "Headhunter" DLC thing, apparently several episodes of that are already out, haven't kept up, no idea what the scope is. Next one should go live tomorrow in the US.

Crawmerax is a headhunter pack, along with the new mad moxxi dlc and the 3 holiday packs.

 

[impetuous_silly]

But I don't want Borderlands At least it comes with a 8 GB memory card.

 

[kick51]

just happy borderlands 2 is now a set thing

plz don't be a shit port

 

[kaos424]

I've been looking to get a vita for a while now but now I'm torn between picking up an OLED version or waiting and getting this slim version.

 

[EL CUCO]

Bank on $39.99

[JP]

I DO NOT understand why they are doing black only, is it because retailers don't want to have a lot of SKUs?

I'm not sure if they sell as well outside of Japan to be honest and there are extra costs in involved having different production runs. I know some people would buy them but maybe it's just not worth it for them? Microsoft do bundles with custom consoles but I think it's rare for Sony outside of Japan.

 

[Loxley]

I'm just hoping Borderlands 2 turns out well.

 

[RalchAC]

I almost forgot about Soul Sacrifice. Are there any more JRPG's? And are there more JRPG's being brought to the west?

Ys Celceta is exclusive, as it's Demon Gaze. Conception is multi with 3DS and FFX is multi with PS3. The Atelier games are being brought by Tecmo via PSN. Shu has hinted Over My Dead Body 2 coming to the West, though it's not confirmed.

If you're counting SS as a JRPG, you could check Toukiden. It's more like Monster Hunter than Soul Sacrifice.

Maybe some other gaffer can add something to that list.

 

[GeoramA]

With this new model, I really hope Sony starts giving Vita the marketing it deserves.

Push remote-play HARD.

 

[B.K.]

Already bought a 2000 and 64GB memory card months ago.

Keep in mind if you go OLED Vita hunting-- the display is bit of a crapshoot. I feel like I've seen more bad ones than good ones, but don't take that as fact. However, if you find a good one, grab it.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Bank on $39.99

I hope it would come with all the DLC if its that much.

 

[Dead]

Black only :/

 

[Hatty]

I don't see any mention of the 64GB card
I guess that's not coming over?
