TildeGuy~! Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'll be picking one of these bad boys up later... Â Anyone got one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'd absolutely love one, but being unemployed sucks. I really wanna play Uncharted, Super Stardust Delta, Motorstorm RC and others and it looks like a really fun system...hopefully when I eventually have a job and money it'll have dropped in price a bit like the 3DS did. Are you going Wi-fi or 3G Tildeguy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was one of the mugs who bought a 3DS on launch last year. I'm gonna hold off on the Vita until at least after LittleBigPlanet is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsClobberingTime Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I want one but I'm trying not to buy one. I wish retailers would stop emailing me adverts. It's breaking me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 So how do these differ from a PSP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 So how do these differ from a PSP? Â Its basically a PS3 on the go. Â Supports Wi-Fi and 3G and is also touch screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The question remains, do people WANT a portable PS3? Â This will be Sony's last go-around at portable. If this one fails to improve their share of the mobile market over where the PSP got them, I can see them bowing out. For me, handheld gaming devices are an anachronism in the modern era where everyone caries a smartphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 For me, handheld gaming devices are an anachronism in the modern era where everyone caries a smartphone. I think you're right, but hope you're wrong, after my pitiful attempts at playing a game with touchscreen controls yesterday. Although saying that, the Vita and 3DS both have touchscreen controls. But they stick to traditional control methods for action, which works a lot better for me. I could never successfully play a football or fighting game, let alone a big fast-paced action-adventure, on a touchscreen-only device. They're ultimately fighting a losing battle releasing console experiences like Resident Evil and Uncharted on handhelds anyway, because I don't think many people really want/need that sort of game to pass time on the bus or whatever.

The King Of Swing Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Got mine today (wi-fi only the 3G model seems like a waste of time and money to me) and haven't done much with it yet but when it has finished copying some PSP games over I'm booting up Blazblue Extend and Uncharted after that. Â Had to buy two 8 gig cards though since those cunts at Sony have apparently under produced the 16 gig ones but it wasn't all bad since after trading in some games I got the Vita, two games and two 8 gig memory cards for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You'll be ruing that decision in 8 months when the price of the system drops and it'll be gathering dust. I'll expect there'll be an update to the hardware in a year as well with any sytem you need to wait 18 months to see if there's any decent games for it or any hardware revisions. I learnt from my mistake after I bought the Wii, it got a ton of use for 6 months and no even my mrs doesn't touch Wii fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well there was two games on release day that I actually wanted to play so the Vita is already one up on the 3DS for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'll be holding off until there is some actual handheld style games on the system, if i wanted to play Uncharted etc i'd play it on a HDTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Was playing on my friend's earlier and while the graphics impressed me, the face buttons and sticks are oddly small. It's light years ahead of the 3DS though and as much as I love Nintendo, their live videos today to try and gain hype for new releases was a really bad attempt at trying to gain a bit of a comeback on the Vita's launch day. Reggie did a 12 minute video showing about 4 games everyone already knew about, and then the 3DS release schedule went up and it looks dreadful. Luigi's Mansion has been delayed until 2013 along with the new Professor Layton, and there's no big-name games at all this year. No Metroid, Zelda, Kirby, Mario, F-Zero, Pikmin or anything. Just 3rd party games and movie tie-ins. Â With the abysmal launch, poor selection of games and already inferior to PS Vita graphics, I think this might be the year for Sony Handhelds.
