PSVita (Successor to PSP, was PSP2 then NGP)

They want you to pre-order the console in Europe.

They will give you things.

They are things very few people would actually want.

true - the usual tat offered at uk/European launches

a 5 euro/pound discount? thats generious - at least include a game in the bundle ffs

I am still toying with the item of getting a jp unit - nothing would beat cranking up a vita on Chrstmas day

If you signed up to the Vita emails you will have an invite to try and win a trip to Japan for the launch.

Had a brief dabble with one of these. No useful information. Just wanted to show off :P

Just kidding sorta. Uncharted looked nice. No anti-aliasing from what I could tell. But it looked and ran decently (I am guessing around 30 fps as it was not quite silky smooth). The device felt pretty good. The thumb sticks are gonna take a bit of getting used to, they feel really small. Gotta have a bit more time with it, but my first impressions are more favorable than with my first time with the 3DS.

It's a lovely machine, it's actually usable unlike Nintendo's product.

It was obvious the thumb sticks would be too small, looks like another poorly designed handheld from Sony. And they were pretty much the first company to force you to buy memory cards, so no surprises they're ripping people off there.

Is there anything extra with the 3G one besides the 3G? It shouldn't cost that much more for a 3G modem... The 3G version's pretty much pointless if that's the only difference since you could just get a wireless pointer or smart phone to get the wifi version onlne without paying for another ISP.

Ok, I took the bait. I recommend you try one before spout that crap, and its least its tech is cutting edge...

Oh and Nintendo don't ever rip anyone off....

[teddymeow]

A month today and NCSX start receiving their stock. Fingers crossed mine arrives before Chrimbo. I am so excited about this!

A machine less powerful than the 5 year old PS3 is cutting edge? Ok... And I was going off what an unbiased poster said earlier in the thread regarding the thumbsticks etc, plus bitter experience with the PSP of course.

What's Nintendo got to do with anything? Though I'm curious what examples you can give of Nintendo ripping people off.

*gets popcorn*



Awww yeah...

(just to throw my bit in, a machine less powerful than a PS3 would not be cutting edge if it's a similar size but one packed into the PSV's dimensions could well be seen as such, assuming it's more powerful than smartphones/etc, although I haven't checked)

@resonance, is it a heavy like the psp 1000 or light ?

its like a super computer compared to the 3ds - i'd love to see the 3ds trying to run that new vita uncharted game lol - 2 thumbsticks are way better than that circular analogue stick on nintendos new handheld

Thank god they did. Lugging an entire console to a friends house was a pain in the arse if we wanted to continue a game there.

What's the PS3 got to do with anything ? Vita is a hand-held not a console and it happened to be a cutting edge hand held in those terms

Haven't Nintendo been fined twice for price fixing ?.

That's why the MegaCD and Saturn gave you a choice

[Neon Ignition]

I can see where this threads heading and it doesn't matter. The PSVita is 100% to see a rapid price cut after release so is worth waiting out for.
