16mb is really small.
Ha ha, just stand at one side and watch how things pan out if you don't want to partake in the exercise. It's driven by market forces in the end.
I think I can some up the back and forth we just had pretty well with one image
I haven't preordered a single game yet. I'm holding out for a bomba price drop on something. Rayman or Uncharted, whichever drops first. In the meantime, I have some PSP games from my old Go I never finished, so I'll play those.
Do we all agree that PSX compatibility is being intentionally held back to promote new sales for Vita and PSP games? It seems like the only logical explanation.
Right now, I've got the Wi-Fi-only version of the system preordered, as well as Wipeout 2048. I'll probably go for a 16 MB card to start. I plan on adding Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and will probably grab a few PSN downloadable games as well.

I would consider halving that list. I know there is awesomeness but you have more than enough gaming for a while wit just 3 of those games.
And Fireteam Bravo is really good for those who can appreciate it. Vita dual stick support too. May be worth picking up Fireteam Bravo 2 since I think it has co op no?

Is it too late to pre-order at GS?
I have $150 in credit from filling out surveys over the past 2 years (LOL) and won some cash on the Giants.
I don't want the FEB bundle though.
People stopped caring about OG Xbox BC shortly after MS themselves stopped.Sure. I suppose no one will gripe if the next XBox drops BC for XBox 1 games... unless you bought then through Games on Demand.
Wait, I can't download psx games to play on this?
It won't be missed at all on their next system.
Gamestop isn't in Japan, and in the US a UMD drive add-on would go over like a wet fart.
The Vita has potential problems, but UMD BC isn't one of them.

Not yet. 'More's to be announced at a later date'
Argh, I really want a Vita, but the battery life is and I usually wait for handheld revisions anyway. :/ I hope everyone enjoys their systems when they arrive.
Yes the fuck it will. If my XBLA/GOD games die with the 360, so does my love for the three six zero and it's successor. And that goes for any system with a large backing of DD content, and no guarantee of a future with said content. The interesting thing is, it's up to the next gen to set the precedent.
Dont you mean 900
We're talking about physical Xbox 1 discs.
If you want my opinion, I think the emulation team's swamped. They're going through like a 1000 PSP games on PSN, and have to test a small amount of PS2 games. PSone emulation is coming so I don't know what the big deal is.
Isn't the battery life surprisingly good for a first generation unit? Around 4 hours on a graphically intensive game.
Seems fine to me.
Has PS2 compatibility ever even been mentioned?

...which is why I said partner with someone !
I am not sure. I keep seeing people wishing to play their existing UMD games, or trade used ones.

Uncharted came out in 2007 -- this is 2012. We should pay $50 for a game that is very similar to a 2007 title?I'm not saying you're wrong but Drake's fortune didn't have multiplayer and is shorter than Golden Abyss yet a lot of people were willing to pay $59.99 for it, I don't know man, why does it matter if it's a handheld game if it offers the same amount of content?
I'm very sure. Of course you get very vocal people on the internet who are upset, but you don't waste money and resources on a very expensive add-on to please a vocal minority.
No one is even thinking logically about how impractical this would be. It would destroy the Vita's battery life, just for starters. Beyond that, it would have to cost at least $100, probably more to recoup the cost. It will have to be a high price, there's no other way to make any money on such a low volume product. Realistically, who beyond a few hundred GAF-fers would pay that much to add BC for discs the market never bought in large quantities to begin with? A few thousand people? 10K? 20K? Is that really worth the trouble?
Can anyone recommend me some great PSP games on the Vita? I have no preferences.
PSY・S;34878266 said:Same, except I was already thinking about picking up LocoRoco, Ridge Racer, and some other cheap games. Never had a PSP so I'm game for pretty much anything that isn't priced too high.
You're talking about relative value. All of the memory cards are over priced as hell, but with the 4GB you satisfy the memory card requirement and minimize the loss when you eventually replace the card for the inevitable cheaper versions.seriously stfu dude; we get it you, don't like the 32GB memory card but do you have to bring it up every damn post? it's becoming really irritating, you might not think it's a good deal but it actually is
4GB: $5 per GB
8GB: $3.75 per GB
16GB: $3.75 per GB
32GB: $3.125 per GB
I raised the same questions before.
I think those people said they want the drive unit to play at home like a dock. They can add other features to the dock if they want. Or they can include a battery pack. Anyone who want to sell such a unit would of course need to conduct their own research. After all the survey was Japan only.

Please note separate power supply on my mockup, designed to use existing PSP charger, in separate battery. $100 cost is a good estimate. But also please note PSP outselling Vita right now in Japan, due to ability to play current release of Monster Hunter. UMD peripheral would capture significant portion of that business, particularly with better OLED and dual-stick support for PSP titles.
While it's pretty hard to rationalize $100 for 32 GB, I think it's somewhat ridiculous to go for the stand alone 4 GB over the 8 GB unless you don't intend to take digital distribution seriously or you're using it as a dummy card for switching to another account (IF a reformat is absolutely necessary). Just $10 more doubles the amount of memory and ensures something like Uncharted doesn't hog the whole thing (though even with 32 GB that's big enough I'd rather get a physical copy).You're talking about relative value.

Paying $100 for a 32GB card is in no way a good deal.

All you need. Many, if not most, of those badass titles are on the PSN. My personal favs: Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling together (SRPG), Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (Turn Based RPG), and Maverick Hunter X (A damn good remake of MMX). A PSN sale might be coming, just might if Sony wants to capitalize on new, title starved, and psp-curious Vita owners. I'd hold off, myself.
Didn't see this posted:
Vita will get a new FW-Update at 8th february, which will add Video-Support for the camera-app and add a new map-app.
Also the content manager will get a mac version.

America, maybe less so, true. But maybe not as much as you think.
