Implying there wont be micro sd adapters on ebay within a week.

FFS it doesn't use the memory stick duo?

Why won't it just support standard sdhc cards...

it's like they wanted to make a hand-held you could break by dropping it on your knee like a twig

awesome

>>118338801
Cause then sony makes less $

>>118337671

Is that a Game Gear?

Not buying until memory card adapters adapters and cfw.

>>118338667

Its from Gamestop. They have listed all memory stick and accessory prices. Just check the site.

120$ for a memory card?

>32GB PlayStation Vita Memory Card - $119.99

You'll need this one if you really want to enjoy the Vita.

I'm sure you've heard that Ridge Racer Vita only has 3 cars and 5 tracks. Well that's because DLC is a going to be a big part of Sony's Vita.

Portable DLC. Its more likely than you think.

>32GB for more than $8

PFFFHAHAHAHAHA

for $120 i can get probably 2TB if i shopped around

It beings

>32GB PlayStation Vita Memory Card - $119.99

Welp! Looks like I'm not getting any handhelds this time around.

>>118339163

>Not buying until memory card adapters adapters

That will never happen because the Vita memory card system is strictly proprietary.

Vita has DRM up the ass. Sony has already made it clear to devs they're not going to allow the CFW debacle of the PSP

>It's over 3DS is finished!

I don't really think anyone would need a 32GB memory card.

>>118339960
so...what, you're just going to play 1 game with your vita?

>>118339960

What about DLC's and installing games? And not to forget movies and music.

>2011
>Buying handheld consoles
ISHYGDDT

really sony?

really?

>>118340086
Aren't the games supposed to be like, not installable? Or is it going to be that stupid PS3 thing?

Movies and music I guess it's ok.

The PSV comes with a Memory card on launch right?

I'm alright with this.

Awww, I was looking forward for the pocket ps3

>>118339960
someones not a pirate...

>>118340376

You can install Monster Hunter iirc.

4 gb saw me through most of my needs on the PSP. Will savegames and the odd PSN item really be that much larger?

>creating a proprietary memory card so people have to spend money on their products
Why do we support sony again?

i already decided i wasnt getting one when they decided to compete with ipod

>>118340433

>The PSV comes with a Memory card on launch right?

No.

I played the vita yesterday, it feels lighter and more sturdy than a psp 1000

pic related, it was in my hands.

>>118340720
where will you hold video games nigger?

they'll weight much more this time around

>>118340724

>Why do we support sony again?

We dont.

>2011
>Memory Cards

>>118340864
You know there are retail copies right?

I wasnt going to bitch so much until i read its proprietary. What the fuck sony?

>mfw despite the fact that the Vita's fucking huge, I'll probably still lose it after putting it on my desk

You pirates caused this shit!

I am utterly astonished that there are a large people in Japan, with advanced college degrees, SPANNING MULTIPLE COMPANIES AND INDUSTRIES that actually believe this business plan is going to work.

This is what a marketing-centric business environment does. Sony execs must literally see their market as nothing but a giant pool of ATM machines, that give you a set fraction of the money inside themselves if you make something that looks cool enough. That is the only way I can even begin to wrap my head around this.

It's over, Sony is finished.

>>118341076

so are the games like little SD cards or what?

This is going to have cloud support right? I really dont care much for movies or music but save data i do.

>mfw i'll just play my psp for 2 more years until the bugs are fixed and the prices are low on the vita

what's the problem? you do know early adopters get hurt the most for anything right?

>>118341262
Yup

This shit better have wireless syncing and faster transfer speeds or I'm going to blow-up Sony's HQ

>>118340811

Its definitely lighter but its also definitely not more sturdy. The things feels like cheap, light plastic.

>4GB
>$29.99

>>118341031
External memory makes it possible to hack, my good chum.

And to top it all you can bet your ass there will be a lot of issues at launch just like the psp.

>>118341384
I disagree

>>118341262

*snicker*

Lol now imagine when the SD reader stops working.

>>118341192
>This is what a marketing-centric business environment does. Sony execs must literally see their market as nothing but a giant pool of ATM machines, that give you a set fraction of the money inside themselves if you make something that looks cool enough.

Yeah, but, they're right. "We" are not the target audience.

>>118341501
Nintendo stole ideas from Sony again!

>>118341444

Then you definitely have not help the Vita

>>118337671
IT'S JUST LIKE PSP MEMORY STICKS AND HDDs FOR A 360

>>118341711
But I did. Then again I have average sized hands. I can't speak on behalf of the sasquatches out there.

>>118341647

I know right. Isn't that what they always do

>It’s been widely reported that nearly all Vita titles will require secondary storage, despite the game cards themselves having writable space to store data. Some, like Uncharted, won’t boot up at all without a dedicated memory card.

blunder of the century

This is a huge deal for me. I wanted to have all of my games installed but this prices are retarded. Sony thinks their brand is just as brain washing as apples.

>proprietary Vita-exclusive memory card

At least it's proof tha Sony does it better.

I was fine with 4gb on the psp and I pirated.

Holy fuck at the unanimous hate.

Are we all unhappy a fuck about the vita?

sony apparently learned nothing from the psp

lol

>>118341878

>Sony thinks their brand is just as brain washing as apples

I guess I kinda agree with this.

>>118341878
we'll see. as a consumer and fan of sony, i will just wait

Opinions

>>118341501
the vita uses sd "cartridges" cards?
I thought the whole appeal to Sony systems for 3rd party was not to use them

>>118341192
lets be realistic here, even sony's gaming department is too huge to just die from a single failed system. the vita probably will flop though, handheld gaming/does other shit devices have never done all that well. no, the ipod doesn't count, its an mp3 player that plays games and does other shit. anyone remember the n-gage?

itll be sort of like the 3ds launch, except sony will probably take a year to drop the price to $250, and wont offer free games. also theyll probably try to sue anyone who jailbreaks a vita

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/26/hong-kong-gets-pummeled-by-pre-orders-for-ps-vita/

How big the games will be? 3-8gb? Because they look 3 betters than a PSP.

>>118342143
it'll take them a year to drop it to launch price?

>>118342029
i think people are disappointed that the psv seems like it will be plagued with the same sort of bullshit that plagued the psp

>$300+ just to access all the systems features

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>118341813
I've got to agree with the other guy. It was almost offputting how light the thing was, I can't imagine it's particularly durable.

Yeah, I can't say I'm a huge fan either. I mean it's not terrible, but you know, 3DS has more games in interested and I need the money so I think I'll just ski-

>>118342052

>mfw it will sell millions anyway

Not gonna happen. Vita has no place in the new portable market. Fuck, Vita isn't even portable

what kind of format is there going to be?

if they are using cards that you can buy in stores, there will be a mod or something to make them work eventually

>mfw even piracy/cfw won't be able to save this blunder

>>118342693
It's only marginally larger than the PSP1000.
It's big, but it's not unmanagable.

>>118342661

It's does indeed look very impressive. But worth spending $300 for?

I will wait till next year christmas for a delicious bundle and a revision of the system. I made a terrible mistake of buying the original psp at launch and it came with 3 dead pixels and the UMD kept flying off.

>>118342408

>doesn't get the image

It isn't about who invented the product but rather who made it popular. that's when sony strikes. they're creatively bankrupt and the laughing stock of the gaming industry.

making a copy cat product is often called "pulling a sony."

You know the Irony is you most likely do not need to install if the game is from a cartridge. What takes up the space is DLC, or purchasing whole games online however dlc should not amount to atrocious sizes. I really dont see that big of a problem here and if the prices are too much for you, just wait till they make a memory adapter. I still plan on buying one of these things.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS BE NOT AS SHITTY AS 3DS, CJ

>>118342888
yeah so what if you want to store music or video? with how expensive the storage is the thing is a fucking joke

>>118342949
This is not hard LOL

>>118342800

>It's only marginally larger than the PSP1000.

I love it when people lie

>>118343037
Except you just proved my point.

IT'S OVER, HANDHELD GAMING IS FINISHED.

DONT WORRY GUYS I CAME BACK FROM 5 YEARS IN THE FUTURE
SONY KILLED THEMSELES BECAUSE THE VITA FLOPPED
NINTENDO KILLED THEMSELVES TOO BECAUSE THE 3DS FLOPPED
MICROSOFT ALSO KILLED THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE XBOX 3 ONLY SUPPORTED KINECT AS A CONTROLLER
ALL PCS IN THE WORLDS EXPLODED BECAUSE OF BILL GATES
NOW GAMES CAN ONLY BE PLAYED ON PHONES

>>118343037

But you just confirmed what he was saying.

>>118343018
Wut are you storing some sort of 250 mb recording of beethovens symphony? Besides just store the rest on your computer. You guys overreact.

>>118343037

Jesus that's a fat console.

>>118342888

Ho boy, here comes the spin...

>I really dont see that big of a problem here and if the prices are too much for you

Haha, the old sony fanboy "you're a poorfag" argument

>just wait till they make a memory adapter.

Which will never happen. Already explained

Dodging this crap completely and buying a PSP-3000 and a 16gb memory card to mod it.
Any suggestions for games? Planning on downloading P3P and Monster Hunter.

>>118343135
WHAT ABOUT HL3?

>>118343135
This could be accurate

>>118343037

It doesnt look that much bigger.

32GB mem card for 120$ is a little much, I'm sure it doesn't even cost much to make.

But it's going to be nice having dozens of movies and games on my psp.

There certainly is room for improvement though, which I'm sure will surface.
PlayStation always did improve whatever is on the market.
Of course, nothing is original anyways. And it's not like Sony should give up because some shit company did a half-ass job of the same thing 6 years ago like nintendos crap.

Whatever though, I can't wait for it.
3DS is good but PsV is godly.

>>118343037

Can I really put a price on my waifu?

>>118343375

lol you people overeact. It looks almost as big as PHAT 1001 PSP and you guys make it sound like it was Xbox huge.

Still going to buy it. Just picked up a PS3 with Ratchet and Clank all 4 one and LBP2 for $200, also bought Uncharted dual pack and Skyward Sword.
Can;t wait till Golden Abyss comes out. Also going to play AC: Bloodlines on the Vita.

>>118343251
Why is it not possible? Its just a storage medium with some sort of security. Making adapters for other handhelds wasnt so hard.

I'll buy it when some games come out for it.

>>118343434
I've already got a MEMORY CAR

pic related

>>118343642

Vita is the Xbox HUEG of portables

It doesn't have Monster Hunter. I don't see this doing too well in Japan.

>16GB PSV - $70

> PSV memory to micro SD adapter that will be made in a few weeks of japanese release, and tons will be available for americas release - $5
>16GB micro SD $10

you save $55

>>118342279
to get 3G its an extra $50. ok i admit it i was using the higher price to make it look worse

>>118343765

>>118343434
Well I agree with most of it except android stuff (vita doesn't support except from the ps suite) and game install (the game cart is flash not disk this time).

How to be a Nintenderp:

>PSVita sold at a loss
>Sony profits from memory cards

HURRRDURRRR DEAD ON ARRIVAL FUCK SONY

>3DS sold for 250 for massive profits
>it has no games but will eventually get some rehashes

TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY NINTENDO OH YES PLEASE

Sony. Immune to success since 2006.

>>118339612
where at exactly, motherfucker?

>>118343434

>buy ps2 game
>have to buy a 4gb memory card just to play it

Lol pre order cancelled.

>>118343788

It doesn't have monster hunter 3.

But it may not be out of the franchise.

Not like it matters anyway since Crapcom isn't going to bring it over to the west.

Maybe now all this new system hype will lose steam.

Who am I kidding?

>>118343783
I know it's not a portable, but the WiiU controller is bigger than 3 PSVitas stacked together.

>>118343711

Proprietary.

Using 3rd party memory cards will open the floodgates to piracy. Sony has already promised the devs thats not going to happen.

No CFW, no memory card adapters.

Besides, this is sony were talking about. They want to sell you their shit, at high prices

>>118343879

You realize you can still install extra shit onto the memory? Like ps3 games and MH, GT?
