For those who're wanting to replace their iPods/iPhones/iPads with a new, sexy looking Vita, I suggest you wait till it's actually released before making a move. The main reason why the PSP/PSV were both developed, was to allow us gamers to play games on the go. Yeap. But to most of us, the gaming quality matters, and I'm pretty sure not many of us enjoy playing iPod style games.

But having said that, I honestly doubt the PSV would allow us to surf the net without any hiccups, and I'm pretty sure it would not provide us with a better browsing experience than the iOS devices that are out right now. Yes, you WOULD be able to browse the net, check your Facebook, update your status and what not, but.. the browsing quality on iOS devices is simply marvelous, and I doubt the Vita would be able to do the same.

So, if you're planning to swap your iPod for a PSV solely for gaming purposes, then great, go ahead. If you're wanting to do so, expecting the PSV to be able to provide you with the same browsing quality as your iPod, I'm sorry to say.. but you might just regret your decision once you get hold of one.

Agreed, if you are going to browsing the web mainly. stick with the smartphones/tablets. I personally don't do that much mobile browsing, aside from checking facebook updates occasionally, and I want a quality gaming experience. Do wait to see how the browser works(though I doubt Sony wont make improvements on the PS3/PSP browser)

This is better then PSP GO. iDevice can use internal memory to download cause the game average size not so large. But PSP GO game much more larger, so download it could kind of waste time and battery. NVG Cards are better then UMD cause it Solid State Flash Memory should be faster writing speed, durable to scratch. BTW, does this PlayStation®Vita secondary removable memory support? I mean micro-SD card support(since they have dump their M2 memory stick micro). It don't have sure PhotoFast or someone make micro-SD card to NVG Cards adapter for it.

I think there are speculations that they do. In fact, it may not comes with any internal storage at all, since it was not announced at E3. Partly due to they are trying to cut down cost and recoupe it via selling the memory card.

Disclaimer: this is just speculations around the web.

i don't think sony is too greedy to grab both casual and hardcore gamers with betting on a single device (vita). with the power-packed gadget (vita), they should make it more affordable and turn those casual gamers into hardcore gamers.. laugh.gif heck, even those other badwagon portable gamers could also jump-in to vita bandwagon.. whistling.gif  tongue.gif

They definitely aim at hardcore gamers first and foremost. But the multi-touch interface should make casual gamers of smartphones feel right at home. and for smartphone games to be ported.

the first and foremost I can think of having the 3G version is that it can save me from buying smartphones, with now twitter and facebook support announced for PSVita the 3G version looks more and more attractive.

I can't justify spending so many money on smartphones as it is one expensive purchase which get outdated very soon. The Vita looks promising.

well, if twitter or FB is your main communication tools then I think its alright to go for 3G... I on the other hand... prefer the conventional way... SMS is still wat i like most..

I still have my phone(non-smartphone) with SMS. I'm just saying that with the feature replicating what smartphones did, there isn't a need for me to get a smartphone.

I dont think browsing at the same time is possible lol, as different website may take up different memory.

But you can raise your expectation of the browser, since it got multitouch interface. this trailer here shows a bit of it

Buying from PSN cheaper than buy the box game (around $10 cheaper) or maybe you can buy with sharing ID like the ps3 nowadays.

Plus it will not be worth it, Sony will be focusing a lot on the online connectivity of PSVita, cracking it basically means you will only able to use it to play offline game, letting go build in features like foursquare, facebook, youtube, and the web browser.

You want cheap games, you can have it on Iphone/Android devices, there are a lot of Indie Games on Steam/PC that goes for low prices as well. You want big budget AAA games, note that these cost a lot of money to make so their asking price is not unreasonable.

I think the right word here is "Reduced Profit". And this is more apparent in video games as developers is finding ways to encourage first hand sales via DLC. Technically selling whatever item that you own is not illegal, selling copyrighted material that you own like books, DVDs and Blu-ray is not clearly defined as illegal by law.

And video games license agreement was never challenged in court, part of the reason is that it's probably not worth it for publisher to sue, and another reason is that they are not even sure that can win in a lawsuit. thats why used games were still tolerated by the industry. And one thing for sure is, if a game is good enough, they will have sales on the DLC even for used games buyers.

Their idea is: "If I can't make you pay 100 bucks new, I can still let you buy it 50 bucks used, and earn another 30 bucks from you via DLC".

Same thing with PSN sharing, if they can't make you pay the full price for the game, they will make do with 20% of the price, the money still eventually went to the developers in a more controlled manner.

For Video Games related announcement, you should assume it pertains to US only unless it is specified.

you need to leave the disc in the PS3 back home, and put it on standby with remote play enabled. so when you are outside, you can use the Vita to access the PS3 and play that games remotely

By the way I found the most extensive UI introduction video. And if my ear serves me well through the noisy environment of the video. A mention of "App Store".




and the top bar works sort of like windows taskbar, where it lists all you open apps

What's all the hate King83? most of your points were not new by the way, and some of them does not apply when you put them in relative perspective.


- Battery is internal, so once battery kong, there goes ur PSV, there goes ur game saves


This is known since E3, so it's not news, and your game saves into the memory card or the PSVita card itself, not the device. Battery dead will not delete your game saves.


- PSVita has been known to freeze.... and pressing & holding power button doesn't work. Can't remove the battery too cos it's internal, so u have to wait till the battery is drained.
- Touchscreen non responsive



Ah yes, those that do not update to 1.50 firmware

- 1 user per memory card console

This is not news

- Game price are the same as PS3 but significantly shorter

it is cheaper than PS3, the price you see on the market now is based on Japanese pricing, which tends to be higher compare to US


- Retail game doesn't come with Manual.

For now, this is for Sony's games only, I say Dynasty Warrior Next unboxing and there are manuals

- Expensive Memory Cards

Relatively speaking, there are more expensive tablet/smartphones memory options

- Can't play most games unless you buy extra memory card

I only see 4 out of all the launch games right now needs memory card, so that is not "most".

Youtube doesn't work

Nico Nico Douga does, that is basically youtube for Japan. wait for the western launch before we comment on things that non-Japanese is interested in

- Sony reselling us games we already own in UMD

then play your games on your PSP. nobody forcing you to rebuy them on vita, as with all the HD remakes that is common this year.

I read your long replies....
but you didn't say anything other than "It's not new news... so it's not a problem".

So....... just because some of it is old news, all of a sudden it becomes irrelevant and no longer a problem to consumers.
RIIIIGHT.

I'm not saying it is not a problem just because it is not news. My point is you shouldn't state that it's news when it is not news. Since you start the list with

Today's shocking news is...


and your first point is about the internal battery, it's been known since June, and people has already discussed and went over with that. don't reopen old wounds. Else I will just stand here and continue to troll that Sony overpriced the PS3 at launch, thus costing PS3's sales on it's early years. that's just a no, people is over with it.

and if you did read my reply, I said more than "It's old news". did you skip through everything after reading half of my answer to the first point?

Now now guys, everybody is entitled to their opinion, and they are free to comment on things they are not satisfied. Just that when you does, make sure it was well informed and reasoned.

Things like "I'm not buying PSVita because it does not support Youtube" just doesn't cut it. Explain that why you like Youtube to be supported on PSVita, and make a point so that people may understand and respect your opinion.

Again you're reiterating the same point.
Do you really have nothing new to offer to the table?

So what if u've discussed it to death?
If problem still exist, people are still going to talk about it, get over it.

Just because you already know about it doesn't magically make it no longer a problem.
How much densed can u get? Keep repeating
and you do not respond, or even admit on that I pointed out you are posting a 6 month old news as a new discovery just today. being unresponsive to the actual content of the post does not contribute to a constructive discussion.


QUOTE(King83 @ Dec 20 2011, 04:33 PM)

"It's old news, so it's not longer a problem".

HELLO?????? PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.
PSV is supposed to be a media player not just for gaming.
Heck, PSP is supposed to be a media player not just gaming.
And i didn't solely contribute PSV's suckiness to the sole fact it can't load youtube like what u are trying to insinuate now.

I posted 10 solid reasons, look it up.
And stop saying it's old news, therefore it's not a problem.

Problem still exist.
Come up with something new before you post anything.
*
And I don't really see anything new in your reply either, anyway. Ok King83, let me try to respond to one of your 10 points with my reasoning on why what you pointed out is not a problem. And I like to see you explain your reasoning. If, in your reply, you are still ignoring my point, I do not see anyway that our conversation can continue

- Battery is internal, so once battery kong, there goes ur PSV, there goes ur game saves

The games are saved in the game media card and the removable memory card, thus they can be removed and attached to another system and continue to function. Dead battery does not send out an EMP Pulse to wipe your memory card your know wink.gif
