If Killzone:M run well I think Guerrilla need to give other developers (third party ones) their vita engine since that might solve a a huge proplem devs have here,like how PhyreEngine let more Japanese dev to work on PS3.

Damn just read the declassified stuff..

Anyone think we will get a cod next year?

well I doubt SCEA have anymore money to waste, they refused to port Boarderland 2 and Angry Bird to Vita because of this huge budget mistake.

That would be nice, but they could have done that with PS3, too, since third-parties are notoriously bad with PS3, but they didn't do it. So I don't really expect this to happen, unfortunately.
 
Sine Mora is great, glad I bought it (again, after finally getting my money back from Sony after more than a week). It looks really cool, they should add stereoscopic 3D support to the PS3 version.

The PSN store is now actively preventing me from buying a game, I'm now getting server session timeouts as soon as I enter the store. It's like going into a store to buy something and repeatedly getting thrown out for no reason.
 
I really wanted to make a ps vita technical discussion thread because I wanted to learn more about what the vita hardware is capable of. I love to see people discuss console hardware on gaf(I have read like every Wii u technical thread and every rumoured ps4/720 spec thread). I have no idea what to say in the op though.

Was thinking about making a carbon copy of the 3ds thread : http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=443846&highlight=technical

Anyone know if there are bound to be more deals this month like that nice black friday bundle?

I would guess there is a small chance for a nice bundle around christmas time, but most likely we won't see a bundle that nice again until after the price drop on the vita next year.
 
Sony is going all out on marketing this holiday season. A lot of commercials for the Vita, but it´s dwarfed by Wonderbook commercial, and the new PS3 slim + essential bundle.

Yeah, I am pretty sure I am going to just have to bite and get the AC bundle for the full $250.
The BF deal was a steal, I doubt we will see anything like that for a while.

FYI, I went to my local Best Buy, and they said they price match for 30-days if it is to go on sale.

Haven't seen a damn thing where I live. :p

Oh well, it's not like Finland really matters to them anyway.

I would expect at least a $25 sale on the bundle from amazon during the holidays, don't know about other places but I imagine there will be some sort of christmas sale on the vita. I just figure it won't reach $180 +PS all stars + 3 months of plus

Yeah, no way I expect the $180 + extras. If (when) it hits $200 again I am jumping on it. The hardest part is not knowing when it will happen.

edit: btw has anyone played the untold legends games on the vita? I had them when I had my PSP and really enjoyed the dungeon crawling. Was wondering if they are on psn and how the look?

if i am not mistaken they were just on sale for like 75% off on the NA PSN last week so someone very well might have picked it up.

As for the not knowing when the vita will go on sale again, easiest way to deal is just treat your bank account like you already spent the $200 and then be ready to pounce when you can...

beyond that if you have an AT&T store near you, you might be able to get the 3g vita plus 2 games for $200 right now. It seems there is an offer beyond that if instead of the 2 free games you opt to buy two retail games instead they will knock it down to $100, which if you buy mlb the show twice it will come out to $160 for the 3g vita and two copies of mlb the show for the vita.

some people have even reported being able to return the two games to another store making the 3g vita cost $100, but your millage may vary

It's only a good deal if you can get them to do it with out requiring you to sign up for a data plan though.

If we are allowed to link to slickdeals on this site then I can send you a link with the info. (I'm not always 100% sure what we can and can't link)

Just as a heads up on 11/30 the PS Vita 3G is going on clearance at AT&T for $199.99 with choice of two free games while supplies last. Games are as follows:

Hot Shots Golf
Uncharted
Wipeout
MLB 12

I think these come with an 8GB card too but not sure.

how are sine mora and crimson gem saga on the vita? I've been eyeballing the two games despite my vita backlog

If you like shmups at all/ever liked a shmup -> get Sine Mora.
It looks gorgeous, plays great, is challenging and has much content to bite through.

Crimson Gem Saga is apparently a very, very beautiful PSP RPG but heavily grindy.

I've been pimping Sine Mora since the week it was finally given a date for release.
It's easily worth $10. It's FANTASTICAL.

However, if you are unsure, there is a demo.

Well wouldn't it be $40 with the additional $5 off?

Well, with the promo, sure. Then you could get two 16gb cards for $85 and tape them together to make a 32gb.
(The sarcasm isn't against you, it's just supposed to show how silly it is to think that getting a 16gb for $40-$55 is really not a better deal than buying a 32gb card if you want the space. :))

Thanks, I actually saw this deal. However, I have fallen madly for the white one that comes in the AC bundle (I know, I am too picky). I think the white one is too gorgeous to not get.

This is one of my neatest pawn defenses I ever had, lol.

I used to actually be good at chess, believe it or not.

I'm not bad at chess when I pay attention. i naturally plan 2-3 steps ahead of my friends and am able to predict what they will do in general, but I find chess boring thus I have problems focusing on it enough to bother predicting what people will do.

My headteacher at primary school was a big chess player and he made it his mission to make sure everyone was good at chess, lol. Used to be able to play a decent game. I'm out of practice nowadays and pretty terrible at it.

The updated Internet browser views GIFs better than my phone and shitty old laptop. :eek:

I absolutely love my Vita right now. Just purchased Persona 4: Golden and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. They should be here in a week or so.

Both P4G and VLR were my 1st purchase when I bought my Vita as well. Good choice!
