Guacamelee! seems like a no-brainer at $7.34 this week and is a cross-buy title (buy either version, download both).

I plan to get it soon. I think you have to play through on single player to unlock multi.

last holiday, amazon had a wicked bundle for $199 (Vita, 4gb, 3 months PS+, AC, Super Smash Sony Brothers or wtf its called). I'm sure we'll see more of the same this year.

It's a no-brainer at full price. The game is all sorts of awesome if you're a fan of the Metroidvania style.

Besides (unlike the 3DS and its tiny, headache-inducing 3D screen) there isn't much to improve on with the hardware, except things they could take out to make it cheaper (like 3G). What improvements were made over the life of the PSP? Very little, besides a brighter screen (which certainly isn't needed here). They dropped the price to sell more units. Not a surprise to anyone.
Aside from the gap in the original PSP Model and the 2000, Sony followed up with a new 'model' every year (I think the Go! was the last model, not including the stripped down version without WiFi etc that was only releases in some Countries).

Like phones, I think handhelds need releases often enough to seem 'fresh' to consumers that are used to new models coming out every year with phones. It's certainly a trend with tablets which are no doubt taking customers away.

It took Nintendo a year and a half to introduce a new model of the 3DS (however the 3DS was already a success).

I think we might see a new Vita around the PS4s release. Probably something to help sell the Vita alongside the PS4. Something that probably makes it look like a PS4.

I've been out of the Vita game for a long time, but has anything new even come out for this aside from ports?

Wasn't the Assassin's Creed bundle 179 last year?

I'm surprised the 3G is scarce. Does anyone actually pay for the 3G on their Vita? I bought a 3G version "just in case" but have never used it, nor been given a compelling reason to use it.

The one thing they could do is actually put some on-board storage on it (or increase the size and decrease the price of their memory cards). That can't be too expensive, can it?

The only hope I have for the Vita is that there's going to be some kind of integration with the PS4. Now who knows how far reaching that's going to be, and who's going to bother putting that in their games. I mean heck, the Gamecube had the ability to connect to the GBA, but outside of Animal Crossing and Pacman Vs. it wasn't too compelling.

Supermallet, I have Dragon's Crown, though I have yet to open it. Went for Vita because it seemed like a decent game to play on a portable, and the time I can dedicate to playing games on the TV is limited...

Yeah it November of last year (White Vita, All-Stars Battle Royale Download, 3 month PS Plus Trial) for $180 from Amazon.

I ended up getting it for $200 from Target a month later because I wasn't in the market at the time. I think this is one case where the White version looks a hundred times better than the black.

I have the white and I think it is awesome as well.

"significant reduction in memory card prices" Well, that's a start.

Hell yeah, Borderlands 2 coming to Vita

Sony cut the price of Vita to $199 today.

RichC2 08-20-13 02:03 PM
re: Official PS Vita / PlayStation TV Thread
 
I thought the basic, no game model was already $199?

Adam Tyner 08-20-13 03:10 PM
re: Official PS Vita / PlayStation TV Thread
 
It's been on sale recently for that much, but the MSRP was still $250 for the basic, game-less, wifi only version till today.

RichC2 08-20-13 03:20 PM

Weird. Oh well, anyone considering it get the AC3 Bundle.

Sony and I have a differing opinion of significance.


PS Vita memory cards now cheaper in North America

In addition to knocking $50 off the price of a PS Vita in North America, Sony has also announced memory cards for the device are now cheaper. 4GB cards are now $15, 8GB cards are $20, 16GB cards are $40 and 32GB cards are $80. These updated prices should be reflected at all North American retailers starting today.

Yeah, that is a bit of a joke. Though, I would probably be willing to shell out $100 if they released a 64 GB card.

If they have a bundle around the holidays that includes the system, a game and at least a 16GB card for $199, I'm in.

Um, how about a 3G Vita, a game (you've probably already played on another system) and a 4 GB card for $199.99?

Wow, was hoping for a better price drop than that :( Got my 16GB last year on a pretty good sale, if somewhere ends up having the 32GB for around $45 on sale I'd pick one up.

The Amazon price for a 32gb card was already cheaper than the official price drop. Maybe it'll go lower now.

Supermallet 08-20-13 05:09 PM
re: Official PS Vita / PlayStation TV Thread
 
The Amazon prices are currently $2-$3 less than the new low low low prices! :lol:

Curious whether, all other things being equal, Vita remote play would be enough to make folks pick the PS4 version of a game over the X1 version. Seems like it would...really slick feature.

Is there any logical, technical reason why the cards are always so much more than standard flash drives, or is it just complete price-gouging on Sony's part? The Vita price drop does nothing for me if I still have to feel like I'm being suckered when I buy the required memory.

The weird thing is that they said "almost all" titles will have remote play, so they're covering their bases, but how easy is it to implement for the developer?

As I understand it, it's required for every developer for every game that doesn't require the PS Eye (hence, the almost all).

The feature is built into the hardware, so for the dev, it's simply a matter of mapping the buttons.
