Playstation Vita

[kupomogli]

Being a Gundam fan and absolutely no games come to the US any longer, region free is another plus for me. Pair that with the great looking line up of launch and launch window games I'm sold.

Capcom announced Ultimate MvC 3 DLC tied to your PSN account will work on both the PS3 and Vita. It's good that the DLC will work multiplatform, but guess what(and this isn't about the Vita?) More pre release Capcom DLC. Bet it's already done and will be released after the games release.

it looks like the vita will expand upon what the psp was, and i adored my psp, took it everywhere!, still do.

on another note it looks like the design of the vita has been tweaked slightly from what was shown at E3.

its also been confirmed the vita will have a external battery that will last 8-9 hours. i wonder how thatll look..

This was Sony's way of punking Nintendo for abandoning region free games on the 3DS. And it gives them one more bullet point to put on the back of the box although I doubt they will use it.

I am sold on the Vita now.

i didnt see a dedicated vita thread, perhaps one can be made?

Edit the topic to Playstation Vita.

Aside from having a ton of amazing games, there is one other thing the PSP did for Sony(not by Sony, but regardless.) I think it pretty much made a name for itself as the console for niche titles because that's really most of what was released when nothing else was coming out. I think a lot of announcements show this seems to have been carried over to the Vita.

So regardless if the Vita loses to the 3DS or not, atleast the Vita's going to have those niche developers on lockdown. :P

I went from "on the fence" to "early adopter" for this system this past week. I keep seeing titles that appeal to me announced. Good stuff.

done! Im one of those people who use my psp more than my consoles. i love jrpgs and old school gaming and the psp was a haven for those. my other half uses the tv while i game on my handheld, it works out great! maybe im one of those people who after looking at the screen a couple minutes doesnt realize what size it is.

well that and im constantly amazed i have something with that much power and can emulate my retro favorites all in one device, plus watch movies and music.

Although the Vita has been a day one for me for a while this just reinforces it.

The only sour grapes I have with the console now is the new memory card format, which is overly expensive in comparison to similar SD cards. Hopefully soon either the price will drop or someone will make a converter for Micro SD or something. Outside of that hickup I am really psyched for this console.

It is a big pain in the ass that the 3DS isn't region free for me, as I purchased a North American model, and I live in Australia. It will still be cheaper to import North American games than to buy them locally...

I have little doubts that Vita will kick 3DS' ass. And this is coming from someone who prefers his DS more than his PSP.

My only thing is that I don't really like portable gaming that much. When I leave the house, I can do other things besides play games. I really only own a DS and a PSP for the exclusives, but I would much rather play them on a tv.

You should make that your new avatar. It would suit you well.

[Sothy]

Is anyone else hoping it looks like the vita chamber from Bioshock?

Revisit this thread when you're in a better mood and see if you don't think you're just trolling in that post. Seriously...wtf.
