I'll be in line for that shit... Actually I'm going to wait to see what bundles are offered. Amazon has an interesting First Edition Bundle that will allow you to get the Vita one week early:
PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle: Claim your PS Vita week before the official release date with the PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle. Become one of the first to discover the new ways to play the biggest and best games. For a limited time, get the PS Vita 3G/Wi-Fi system plus a 4GB memory card, a limited edition case, Little Deviants, and pick up your system one week early.

I'll wait for the inevitable slim version, price drop, and for Sony to wise up on the memory card highway robbery. As it is now, it's just too many pennies for me.

Will probably get one - just not at launch. For once, I could probably afford it buuuut...I like to wait a bit and see how things turn out.
...I hope there will be a Monster Hunter game for Vita...but I don't really trust Capcom with anything right now...

I got the 3DS at launch, and was disappointed. I might as well get this. Sony rarely disappoints me.
I preordered the non-3G one because I don't give two nutsacks about 3G and always connected BS. Wifi is good for me.
I hope it is good. Theres a blazblue game for it I want.

New same ol' Ridge Racer, Dragon's Crown, New Marvel vs Capcom, upcoming Falcom releases, OLED screen, possiblility of homebrew, hells yes I'm buying one. Have a $100 best buy gift card burning a hole in my pocket so that's going towards a wifi one.

I want one but not at launch. I will wait until its out for a while. I still have a ton of PSP games to play and they are cheap right now so Ive been buying more. Maybe a year or so after its out. Unless something really awesome comes out on it.

I'm still not sure. right now im rocking my 3DS and loving it. I got a psp a few years back, and really didn't play it that much, I currently only own 6 games on my psp, while i have 50 games for my DS. I'm gunna wait and see
Title: Re: Teh VITA
Post by: TheClash603 on January 05, 2012, 10:57:12 AM
I have the First Edition Bundle preordered because it comes with a game that looks interesting and I don't have to pay a ridiculous price for a memory card... aka, I am paying a ridiculous price for a memory card but since it is in a package I feel better about it.
I hope the system is better than the original PSP, which always collected dust next to my DS. I play my 3DS a ton, and I am hopeful that the Vita will break into that time... but I have my doubts.
I really am interested in Resistance, because it's my favorite series on the PS3, but it doesn't appear to be a launch game. I'll have to look what's out there at launch, maybe I'll just get Ultimate MvC3, because I am a sucker for that shit.

Pretty much the same thing happened with the 3DS as well, and now it seems to be selling well. Seems people are less likely to buy stuff at launch these days, and they've barely been marketing the vita out here. I've seen maybe one or two commercials for it (granted I don't watch a lot of TV).
Pretty much every kid has a DS or 3DS, but by far the most popular portable gaming system for the older crowd would be the PSP. I see them everywhere and people are always playing it on the train. I rarely see anyone over 12 with a DS anymore. Most adults who used them for casual gaming on the train just use their smartphone now.

Deffinitly want one, I love my PSP, my DS collects dust these days, used to be the other way around. It looks like the Vita will have a more solid line up of game early compared to the PSP which took a year or 2 to get a bunch of decent games. Just Ys Celceta is enough for me to buy a Vita. Also, that Actraiser'ish game(Samurai & Dragon) sounds like it might be cool. However, I'll probably wait for a newer model, price drop, tv out, etc. However, if Ys comes out before that time comes, I probably won't be able to resist!

at least it doesn't do things like the 360 updates (AKA: Change the entire frigging menu/layout abruptly).
Those updates take a whopping like 10 seconds. Boo hoo. Its better than never getting any updates. If you turned your ps3 on more than once a month you'd be less upset.

LOL, Arkan defending modern gaming? Wow. The firmware updates take much longer than 10 seconds. The latest one bricks some consoles and prevents others from being online unless it is booted into Safe Mode first and I have refused to apply it. How often has the Xbox GUI been changed? Twice? I just use the Xbox button anyway and don't even mess with the shitty layouts.
PS3 updates come way more often than once every 3-6 months, especially in the last year. Still, they just can't seem to get that shit right and always need to update it.

I've had mine for almost exactly a year...and haven't done more than 4 updates (and that's counting the post hacking fiasco). As for the "can't seem to get that shit right and always need to update it"....na dthen they get hacked...damned if you do/damned if you don't :P

My updates happen fast enough that I can walk away to pee and come back and be ready to go. Having an entire UI change without an option is lame. That sucks about the 360. Plus, that UI sucked, and still sucks.

Welcome to modern technology. Firmware updating is common. On that topic, what about BIOS flashing? Same f*cking thing, and it's been going on for a long time. Does that mean they can't get their shit right too?

I own everything. When any of them update, I go "oh ok.". Also, at least the PS3's didn't have the whole RRoD trainwreck. Who is it that can't get their shit right?
I appreciate that they're updating my firmware. It's a great feature to have. Firmware is a brilliant concept. Things can be changed later on without expensive hardware re-designs. There's a reason computers adopted this concept.
I updated a launch 20gb turned 250gb Fatty PS3 with 0 issues. Quit being a pussy.

Does this mean the making fun of dead Steve Jobs thread is going to die down? I was enjoying that!
...however, back on topic, anyone think that the Vita is going to get any sort of price decrease before it launches or maybe that early adopters will get something free/special? I think that the 3DS doing the Ambassador Program really opened up the door for this type of treatment for early adopters, and Sony could really alienate its fan base if they don't do something similar and a quick price drop occurs.

<sigh> Seems a little harsh, but its not my call. An ignore would seem a little more appropriate (looks like three people have elected that option concerning Arkhan already)

Ark's a self-admitted jackass. He seems to go out of his way to push people's buttons. But, honestly, I think he's one of the reasons I find these forums so charming. I won't lie, I'm addicted to this place. There have been a number of times his comments have upset me. Then I remember this is cyberspace.
Like Blue said, it's not my call. I look forward to seeing your obnoxious posts again in two weeks, Ark.
And, Joe, he's personally attacked me in the past. I see where you're coming from. I didn't take it personally because he's pretty much personally attacked EVERYONE who's tried to hold a conversation with him.
Game Sack rules, btw. I'm a huge fan. :wink:

Ah, so I shouldn't ban self-admitted jackasses. I see. If he attacked anyone like that before outside of Fighting Street, then I likely didn't see it. He did take to Facebook to insult me further, though. Kind of like Nintega with the off-site trolling except that he gave up after 2 messages instead of about 4 or 5 and limited it Facebook instead of Youtube. Apparently he and I were friends on Facebook, likely because I had no clue what his real name was. Still pretty sad, though. He just needs to learn to breath before he posts, especially when he makes a big deal out of something I joked about originally. We really shouldn't be bending the rules for him and it rather saddens me that some here think otherwise. It makes this place more of a clique.

No just seems VERY arbitrary (plus out of the blue). Many people have gotten warnings (some multiple) before a lightning fast ban hammer.
I pretty much only use the report button for spam/true trolling/scams...enough attention from everyone is usually shown to anything else needed.

OK; I won't whine, I'll just simply question the validity of your banning Arkhan.
The perceived personal "attack" of being called a pussy a single time is something that, If I were in your shoes and had reported that to a moderator via said report button, would have been laughed out of the inbox and deleted without a second thought.

It certainly would have been more appropriate, Joe. You pretty much instabanned him after he said one remotely inflammatory comment; there was no warning, and no explanation. I can think of at least a dozen instances where people have name-called seriously or in jest when they have disagreed with him over an issue. As a mod, yes you have to keep the peace, but what you did was a flagrant abuse of power, and simply unfair regardless of how much of an assclown Arkhan happened to be at the moment.

Like, *sits around in a dark rooom late at night with a bottle of lotion and his tightie whities around his ankles while poring over PCEFX posts and IRC logs* likes it.

So...anybody else buying a Vita? 8-[
Title: Re: Teh VITA
Post by: SignOfZeta on January 07, 2012, 12:59:36 PM
Well, I could buy a Vita now, deal with shit battery life and loads of inexcusable problems and jack squat for software and then put it in a drawer when Vita Lite comes out...
...or I could just wait and buy the Vita Lite which will end up being better hardware, cheaper, and have the superior software selection that comes with the wait.
I bought the 2000 series PSP after it had been out for a while. It's way thinner than the original model, has a better screen, doesn't have the "auto ejection UMD chucking feature", doesn't have a square button that gets stuck under the screen. I also got a choice of colors. Also, by the time I bought the thing there were dozens of great games for it, as opposed to the fairly horrible first two or three years.
This is the same reason I skipped the 3DS. By the time the 3DS Lite comes out it will be SUCH a better value. I guess I've been doing this video game thing for some long that I know when to not buy something just because its new...and it pays off. Not every single evolution of hardware is %100 better than the one before in every way (ie: the PSOne leaves off several features present on the original Playstation, so did the PSTwo) but its usually worth the sacrifice, and the software is always better.
Arkam seems to hate the shit out of the Wii only because because he was once excited about it and the lack of good soft for the first year. I bought mine like a year and a half ago and I think its really fun. Gamers in general put WAY too much emphasis on meaningless politics that have nothing to do with anything but loyalty and just...picking sides. If you want to avoid Apple products because they are made by Chinese slaves, good, that's great, but if you avoid them because "Apple is for fags" then just go f*ck yourself, please.
Recent software updates on the PS3: These are f*cking bullshit. First off, yeah, the do only come about 4 times a year, but the f*cking system doesn't get turned on more than four times a year because its has jack shit for games. What I love is when I download a game from the store and I have to update it before I even f*cking run it...for the first time! A game I downloaded 1 minute ago! WTF is that shit?
Why is it that I can buy Super Mario Galaxy for Wii and the game runs flawlessly from day one forever despite being on a read-only DVD that cannot ever be patched? Why is Nintendo the only publisher left with the skills to actually FINISH a f*cking game and the confidence to see it as such?
The most significant PS3 update recently was the one that ads a Nintendo-style health and safety warning to the boot screen and makes you sign a new PNS EULA absolving Sony of any personal info of yours they might accidentally share with hackers. This is TOTALLY f*ckING INEXCUSABLE and they, hilariously, ARE BEING SUED FOR IT (http://www.examiner.com/computers-in-denver/sony-sued-over-psn-no-suing-provision) in return. The reason hackers are running wild on Sony's ass in the first place is because of their massively overblown legal division suing the shit out of everyone everywhere. The games they could be making with the money they are wasting on lawyers...
BTW, people who can't take the attitude around here are f*cking pussies. If you want to have a fully civil forum go some place sucky with loads of mods. I'd rather be flamed to hell and back here and NG.com than deal with the f*cktards at gameFAQs or wherever. That being said...I realize a lot of shit goes on behind the scenes. People are stalking other people, sending crazy PMs, making psychotic YouTube videos, eBay, impersonating people on Facebook, and shoutbox...oh that f*cking shoutbox. That thing was used for sooooo much shit talking about people when they weren't looking. So basically I don't know anything other that what actually appears in forum posts (and I can't even read all of those) so I can't knowledgeably comment on that sort of extracurricular activity.

If I call you an a$$hole it will be right here in print, and so will all the reasons I called you an a$$hole (assuming you didn't edit your old posts like a f*cking pussy).
Ark has been kind of impossible lately, I have to admit. My only problem with Joe is that I can never tell if he's being serious or not. Ever. EVER. Its a wonderful as a defense mechanism (What, you thought I was serious? Come on. No, I'm kidding. No, seriously, I'm serious. But I kid. Not really. But I do. Its a joke, or maybe for real) but an impediment to actual conversation or even communication.

To be honest I don't care tremendously much for this particular community, it's very ugly (with some exceptions, of course). Only a step above the Neo Geo forums.
I really hope this isn't part of a serious post, as it smacks of elitism/asshattery, and frankly a shitty attitude for anyone (ESPECIALLY a mod). I never understood any of these people that bash the site/members, but continue to stick around, or come back...if you dislike the place so much leave, and don't bother coming back.....or would that kill the "fun" in complaining about/bashing this place?

I guess I've been doing this video game thing for so long that I know when to not buy something just because its new...and it pays off.
I skipped the Game Boy Advance but purchased the GBA SP when it came out which is far superior. I also skipped the Nintendo DSi and instead got the DSi XL.

I think the upgrade from GBA to GBA SP was one of the most significant in history. The OG GBA was a bland ugly thing that was incredibly easy to drop and had a screen that basically couldn't be seen. The SP on the other hand is one of the best designs of any handheld ever, added a light up screen, and basically started the trend of everything coming with a rechargeable battery and power supply. I LOVE the SP.
I actually have a DSi instead of an XL though since I don't really want a handheld the size of a hardback book when its open. Its nice, but the XL is just too big for me.

I couldn't agree more. This is the only system I have ever purchased twice, as I HAD TO HAVE the upgraded GBA.
Other than that, I am always a launch system buyer, and I have never had any regrets. I'd rather get in on the action when it is fresh, rather than playing something 2 years after everyone else has, and having no one to talk to about it.

Yeah, waiting on the Vita myself. To me buying a system at launch doesn't make much sense these days when you know there will be price drops, upgrades, and a huge library of great cheap games to choose from after a year or two. To me it seems like early adopters get screwed badly as they pay a huge price and end up buying a few crappy games at full retail price just because there is nothing else out yet and they want to use their new system. Did that with the original PSP-1000. Back in the 80/90's systems only dropped every 7 years or so, so if you were willing to shell out a bit to buy something you know you'd get eventually it makes sense, but especially for the handheld market it seems like upgrades, extra colors, price drop, etc., are happening faster and faster. Besides, there are so many games I own that I haven't even PLAYED yet, let alone cleared, so I'm in no rush. That said, I REALLY want to play the new Minna no Golf/Hot Shots Golf game...

I am tired of firmware updates, rings of death Just piles of plastic ready for smashing.
Think about the slaves in Malaysia, and China who is very aware about the stuff they put together, and commit suicide doing it.
Investing in an language course is far better then any 3d game system right now. With all that time playing we could have made a videogame by now.

I don't mind firmware updates as much as I mind needing to create a profile and then logging in to play a game myself. Not to mention creating an avatar and then buying virtual crap for it. The PS3 isn't guilty of this, thankfully, but I have far more games for the 360 than the PS3 (because I got the PS3 later, and for many games, I appreciate the 360 control pad more). I don't get why I have to log in to play a game in singleplayer - sometimes I just don't want my friends to know I wasn't that busy I said I was :p
To get back on topic, it would be fine if the Vita received sporadic firmware updates (as long as they're tightening up security and adding features and not removing stuff). Hopefully, the first update will change the awful current interface for the good ol' XMB : D

That's comparing apples and oranges though. I'll give an apples to oranges comparison myself... Let's say I wanted to talk about the movie Citizen Kane, obviously that movie was released decades ago, yet I will always have someone to talk about the movie with, because it is an absolute classic which has stood the test of time. However, last week I saw The Darkest Day. I only saw it because the one movie theater near me shows new movies for $3. I was able to talk to a guy at work about that piece of shit, because it was fresh. If I saw The Darkest Day in 2018, no one would know what the hell I was talking about.
We are amongst a group who is dedicated to talking about specific classic gaming. There will always be an open ear if I wanted to talk about Moto Roader on these forums. Yet a game that was released 2 1/2 years ago that wasn't a blockbuster title? Less people would want to talk about that... and obviously because we are on a forum dedicated to talking about games, we all like the social aspect of gaming.

So you want to be able to talk to people who have played the same shitty game as you. I can see that. All the sad bastards that paid full price for Street Fighter EX 3 and Cosmic Race need a support group, for sure. Once those pieces of crap are a year old nobody will mention them again.
Or, you could just not buy crap. My PSP collection is pretty solid. This would not be possible with the launch library.

I like to make leap of faith purchases, and yes, that does include some Street Fighter EX purchases. If you only buy the best of the best, how do you know it is so? Though I will admit, buying from a launch lineup gets you to play games you wouldn't otherwise play, due to the limited selection. For example, I really enjoyed SSX on PS2 and I would never have bought Ridge Racer for PSX. Pilotwings 64 is another game I probably don't buy if I didn't get the system at launch, and I genuinely enjoyed it. I am hoping that Little Deviants is the next in a long line of launch day surprises.

Yeah, no doubt. (talking about thread tangency - my apologies for belaboring it...)
As far as the VITA goes, I'm planning on holding out until some must-have games are released. I think the last system I purchased around launch date was the Dreamcast. What was that, 12+ years ago? :) That was one system I was glad to have at launch. Ever since then, there hasn't been anything that I felt I *had* to have upon release.
I worked for Sony as a game tester when the PSP games were in their alpha stages here in the states. I remember working on an NBA basketball game and thinking the PSP was going to change the face of portable gaming. Here it is, what, 8 years later, and I still haven't picked one up. Shame on me. :p
I guess there are just too many great old school games worth playing that newer stuff doesn't hold my interest like it used to.

Ah, so I shouldn't ban self-admitted jackasses. I see. If he attacked anyone like that before outside of Fighting Street, then I likely didn't see it. He did take to Facebook to insult me further, though. Kind of like Nintega with the off-site trolling except that he gave up after 2 messages instead of about 4 or 5 and limited it Facebook instead of Youtube. Apparently he and I were friends on Facebook, likely because I had no clue what his real name was. Still pretty sad, though. He just needs to learn to breath before he posts, especially when he makes a big deal out of something I joked about originally. We really shouldn't be bending the rules for him and it rather saddens me that some here think otherwise. It makes this place more of a clique.
Yes. We were friends and facebook and it went a little something like this.
Me: Thanks for the ban, f*ckface! Joe: why are YOU my friend on here Me: You were stupid enough to add me?
followed by me removing the fail from my friendlist.
If you weren't so goddamn oblivious, you'd have known it was me. Do you not look at the people you blindly accept to your friendslist? I'm kind of hard to mistake for someone else considering I've posted pictures of myself here before, my facebook lists Aetherbyte as my employer, and there are pictures of Insanity related stuff. hrurhurhruhr
You must be fairly oblivious. I mean this isn't the first time you've done something that dense. You missed out on free Insanity games (and I was still nice enough to send you one).
You also didn't know Joe and Mac = Caveman Ninjas and asked where people get this info.
We get it from the internet. Lrn2google.
Anyway, see you in Fighting Street.

Pricing for AT&T's data plans (link (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/playstation-vita-data-plans-for-us-revealed/)): $15/month for 250mb or $25/month for 2gb (same as an iPad). Seems kinda steep to be able update your Facebook page on the go, but at least you get one free downloadable game. Or is it multiple free games? There's no long term contract required, so perhaps you can get a free game every time you restart your service, though they'll probably limit it to one per system.

I don't know, I'm still torn on the Vita. I play more portables than anything, but I look at the launch window games, and the total cost of the system and everything and I think, "Is this worth it?" Right now, I'm not sure.
I mean, I'd be perfectly happy getting one or two launch games and then catching up on my PSP backlog, but the Vita memory cards are so expensive I can't dump all my digital games on there without dropping another $100. At this time, I may just stick with my Peace Walker PSP 3000 and a bigass memory card.
My thoughts may change as the release date draws nearer, or a store gets a working demo unit that I can play with.

My understanding is that saving your game does not require a card. I can't remember, but I'm inclined to say you can save on the card like a regular cartridge game. I think there was supposed to be built in memory for saving, but I think that was scrapped to hack a bit at the price or something. But I'm 99.999999999999% sure that you don't NEED an extra card to save on. The card is more for digital games.
edit-AHA, got this off the Wiki...assuming it's true "PSVita memory cards will be available in size from 4 GB to 32 GB, with 4 GB versions available at launch, with 5–10% of the writeable space will be reserved for save data, patches, etc"

When I preorded the bundle, it was the best priced, because of the value of the included items. Then Sony changed the bundles right before the release, making mine no longer the best value. I actually went to EB and changed my preorder today though, because I was not going to get stuck with less for more money.
Although the price stayed the same on the First Edition, the bundle was worth less 2 days ago than it was prior to that point. It would be like if I sold you a piece of gold at $1,800 and oz. because it was there 3 months ago. Even though the physical item is the same, it no longer has the same value.
Is anyone who is getting a Vita still getting the First Edition? Conversely, is anyone still getting Wi-Fi model, since the 3G is juiced with some many extras that the upgrade is now basically free?

Falcom's support of the Vita, most notably Ys Celceta: Sea of Tree's :)
Really, if this is even half as good as the PSP for me, then, there's yer reason. There's alot of great games on the PSP IMO, & that'll be the reason to get a Vita. At the very least, I'm sure Uncharted is great. If you like Katamari, there's a new one of those for it. Ofcoarse, since I don't have the system itself yet, I can't comment on the quality of the hardware & how durable it is, etc.
But, really, it's mainly about Falcom, even if some of the games don't get translated, I'll still buy their Ys games at the very least!

True, atleast for me, I don't think I'd be using it. Maybe if they only charged $2 , but games ranging from $13-$30....is ridiculous!
Exactly. I have 2 psp's (one CFW, one OFW) just for the ease of it. Having backup ways to play my pretty decent sized psp library leaves the Vita free for Vitastic new stuff.

I hope that the Vita gets its act together, but the 3DS is so damn good.

What's wrong with the vita? I find Wipeout to be exceptionally titolicious.
I still need to get shinobido 2, but Ninja Gaiden is ok for now.
Little Deviants turned out to be neater than I expected, and does the whole augmented reality thing about 400x better than the 3DS and it's douche-wad cards.

Got mine on Saturday. The Vita is the best gaming system (portable or not) ever since the turbografx 16 and I don't care what any body else says.

I don't understand why it was designed with breakable analog sticks? I have to keep the Vita in it's case, which then makes the system even larger than it already is. I was walking through the mall with the system in my coat pocket, and people kept looking at me because it was foolishly bulky.
I thought the view in Wipeout just didn't see to be placed right. I am a big fan of the console games, but this one seems a little off.
I hate the back touch pad. I can't hold the system comfortably without touching it. Playing Super Stardust and using my gravity sucker move without wanting to, it gets so frustrating!
Other than that stuff, it is pretty okay I suppose.

I got Uncharted and Virtua Tennis in the mail the other day, with Hot Shots Golf, Blazblue, and Rayman Origins on the way thanks to the Amazon sale. The Vita is scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

How faithful a port is Virtua Tennis to the Arcade original, or the Dreamcast version?

I've only played the demo, but the Vita version seems very faithful to the 360/PS3 versions released a couple of years ago. One thing worth noting is that it doesn't play exactly like Virtua Tennis or Tennis 2k2 on the DC, it is a little more of an actual tennis game and is less arcadey, if that makes sense.
Honestly, I think I'd prefer a straight Tennis 2k2 port, but I'll take what I can get. Once I get to play the full version I'll speak some more about it.

I've always enjoyed Virtual Tennis on the Dreamcast and can't really get into the other releases. Kinda like the World Series games. Loved them and wish they would bring them back. SEGA PLEASE lol.

Hmm, I've had nothing but great results with my PSP's. I have the 1000 for CFW & the 2000 for OFW. For awhile my DS & PSP were even in the number of games I own, but now my PSP has just plain taken over, there's alot of great games on it, & I've never had any problems with the system itself. Heck, just the option to be able to turn it off & still have my game right there is awesome, I use that feature constantly even though it eats battery. I also used to hate the analog nub, but now I'm totally used to it! I don't know if it took me playing the right game on it or what, but I think it's fine, though I still prefer analog sticks.
Hmmm, I wonder if they will end up making Golden Abyss for PS3, I hadn't thought of that...
Oh & in regards to
I've been eating quite a bit of Taco Bell lately, though, I've never had a message saying I won. The deal for the food itself is decent, still, I hope I win....& now, if I win, I hope they don't say it's not valid! Also, looks like that guy has a few Turbo games above his saturn collection, not to mention Ys Oath in Felghana for PSP :)

Sorry for the late reply, I've been playing my Vita all week!
It took me a while to get into it, but Virtua Tennis 4 is sooooo good! Like I said before it's not as arcadey, so you have to really think about your positioning and timing your button presses correctly, you can't just run in the general direction and hit the button and save the shot like in VT1. But, once you get the hang of it, it's very good! Maybe not as good as VT 1 and 2, but still quite excellent.
I will say that the World Tour mode is considerably better, it was pretty boring in the old games. Also, I like the inclusion of some older tennis legends in the game, but they don't have some of the really popular classic guys you might wish to be in there. They have Courier, Becker and Edberg for example, but are missing classics like Agassi, Sampras and McEnroe.
