So I recently learned that to actually pre-order PS5, Sony requires you get "pre-approved first".
And this vetting process apparently looks at your history or "loyalty" to Playstation.

But screw you Sony, I bought your final handheld in a world where everyone was going mobile or opted for a 3DS & Switch.
That should put me in front of the entire line.

So what do you think?

Also want to give a shoutout to PSTV owners. They should get at least one game for free.

 

[Ozrimandias]

Still have my PS Vita Tv, with Henkaku.
Play oldies on it.
Best retro console out there.

 

[Esca]

I still love my vita. Much higher quality piece of hardware than the switch. It feels like it's been ages since I played it. Need to play muamursa (sp?) Again.
Bought avita tv for like 30 bucks and thought it was cool for what it is

 

[tommycronin]

Sony ain't gonna give you special treatment when they see your dumb ass already after buying all their shit they already know you're gonna buy a ps5.

Its like telling a politician you're gonna vote for them in 2 months time. What you should be saying is I'm not gonna vote for your corrupt ass you're gonna have to earn it.

 

[THE DUCK]

Wait you think you should get preference for buying a failed portable? Huh?

 

[TaySan]

How would something like that even work?

PS Vita owners had a disproportionately high attach rate.

Who do you think was buying all those anime games?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Agreed. Mine is white just like the 5.

 

[JordanN]

They're already doing background checks, just post the serial number of your handheld?

 

[diffusionx]

As someone with a white OLED Vita and who went full digital for game collection, I approve of this.

 

[Codes 208]

i think the longevity of a ps+ account has more relevance than buying a too-be niche handheld that was abandoned almost as soon as it came out.

Sony didn’t care about it then, I doubt they care about it now.

 

[Vawn]

I got my PSTV for $20 and use the hell out of it. Sony doesn't owe me anything. I feel like I ripped them off.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Preorder slot only if you have trophies from at least 3 different Neptunia games.

[MrFunSocks]

I remember when this forum thought the Vita and Vita TV were going to be absolute smash hits and change the gaming world haha.

I bought a vita and it's probably my least used console of all time.

 

[Foamy]

Entitled gamers. Story at eleven.

 

[Illo]

Has vita
Psvr since day one
Ps3 and ps4 (also got collectors edition PS4)
Has ton of trophies
Use my PS4 almost everyday

Will probably have equal chance as everyone else to pre-order and purchase a PS5 and that's okay because I'm not entitled to anything.

 

[Vandole]

Awww that's cute. Kind of reminds me of when I thought Nintendo would give special treatment for being a Wii U owner. Ahhhhh..... I was so young. So naive.

 

[Shantae]

Makes sense for those who are real supporters/fans, but you mention Vita to Sony, and they'd be like "What's a Vita?"

 

[Northeastmonk]

The PSTV is genius. Hook up your DualShock 3 to it and play some games. I feel like no one else did that or thought it was cool. Now a days you walk into an Apple store and buy an adapter for $30 to hook your iPhone up to a HDTV. Not to mention Apple TV and the ability to stream. PSTV was before all that.

 

[Batiman]

Nah people that had their PS4s recently break. That’s me!

 

[AGRacing]

I'll say this.... I dont know how theyre going to pick the first customers.... But I do know they are 100% going to screw it up.

Your idea is very likely better than whatever they have planned.

Preference should be given in order of which Playstation console you own.

Playstation 1 = Tier One
Playstation 2 or PSP = Tier Two
Playstation 3 or PS Vita = Tier Three
Playstation 4 = Tier Four

Knack 1 & 2 = Instantly delivered to you.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I bought a launch Vita, Vita Slim, and a PSTV at launch.
I’d be okey with this.

 

[kingbean]

Since I've had like 4 vitas I should just get a free PS5.

 

[CamHostage]

For that, I'd buy a new Vita today, if they were still making them.

There's enough games still to keep me happy for a while, I like how it feels and plays, the original OLED screen is still inviting, I can Remote Play the thing (well, I personally have lots of Remote Play problems, but theoretically one could,) you used to be able to use PS Now with it ... even without exclusive games, Vita can make you a contented gamer. I may be one of the only crazy people who once thought a "PS Vita Pro" could have been a good idea (overclocking hacks alone have added some improvements to many games, and I'm fine with the scale of most Vita games, I just want them to all perform well,) but it's still about the right amount of machine for what I'd like to keep in my backpack or pocket these days.

 

[LOLCats]

i have these things, so okay?

 

[yet_another_alt]

Yeah my Vita pretty much looks like this. Except I'll give put Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden and Ragnarok in another page and sub in more anime girls.

 

[V4skunk]

Never knew PS Vita even existed.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

I still have my PlayStation Vita and Vita TV. If that help me get first dibs on a PS5, I'm all for it.

 

[JordanN]

Never knew PS Vita even existed.

One time I was in the grocery store waiting in line, and this guy asked me what handheld I was playing.

I told him PS Vita and he said he only played or knew about the first PSP.

This was like back in 2013 or 2014.

Danjin44 this is you I know it.

 

[radewagon]

OP, what the hell are you going on about? For all you know. Vita ownership DOES get you to the front of the line.

As a fellow Vita owner, you and I are getting fast tracked to the future of Playstation!

 

[Danjin44]

Danjin44 this is you I know it.

That can’t be me, if it was you would see this game.

 

[Blond]

That can’t be me, if it was you would see this game.

Hey that looks pretty neat actually!

 

[TheContact]

Lot of vita love going on here on the front page tonight gbt and I love it

 

[Danjin44]

Hey that looks pretty neat actually!

I personally really enjoy the game, it’s basically boss rush game and like Megaman you get new powers from beaten boss.

At first the combat can be confusing but once it clicked it became really fun.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Yeah.

And everyone who bought a wii u should get Nintendo consoles lifetime for free.
