Post by: fistfulofmetal on January 01, 2013, 11:45:48 PM: well you see

i really want to play P4G.

and PSN+ looks like a good deal. bunch of free games.

we're looking at a maybe 62% i'll have a vita by the end of the week.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: Don Flamenco on January 01, 2013, 11:53:19 PM: P4G isn't a bad reason, even if it's just to play through it then sell the Vita.

PS+ for Vita is okay. Mutant Blobs is gone now, so is JSR. Chronovolt is in and it sucks. RCR is in-- meh game with pretty funny nostalgia-stroking writing. You still get Uncharted, Wipeout, and Gravity Rush. The thing is, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot they could put up for Vita, so I'm thinking the offerings won't get much better over the course of this year, unless like every game on the system goes up for free.

buuuut you get PS+ for PS3 also, which is where the value really comes in.

I think it's a tough sell on Vita games alone, but fuck do I have a ton of PSP and PS1 games on there to sweeten the deal. I hadn't bought many PSP games on PSN before and was surprised to see how cheap they are.

as for the system itself, definitely one of my favorite designs ever. it's the system everyone dreamed of when the PSP came out--dual analogs on the go with console quality graphics. just terribly timed though.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: DCharlieJP on January 02, 2013, 12:01:12 AM: If they really are going to do the -proper- rumoured relaunch in the March/April time frame then i'd expect them to either lop off a good $50, throw out some new colour machines, or , more likely, throw in some longer free PS+ time.

If you can hold off until then - it's likely going to be worth it.

If they announce nothing in the February Sony thing then you can start cremating this piggy (or, at the very least, hack the PSP side and play some emus - i was under impression this was some really hard tricky thing to do but it's easy. Why hallo thar, Revenge Of Shinobi...)
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: pilonv1 on January 02, 2013, 12:05:05 AM: $100 off here, new colours and 12mths PS+ free would be needed here to turn heads. Almost to the stage where you could buy two low end PS3's here for the price of a 3G Vita
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: DCharlieJP on January 02, 2013, 12:17:19 AM: i'd have thought the memory card + 1 year of PS+ might help but i don't think it will

it needs to be some sort of bundle -and- a price cut. But then what? I'm sure Nintendo will just lop off some more off the XL and they'll be back in "ah... still fucked"-ville

they need a proper relaunch to bring in "the masses" - big hitting names ASAP or it's all over. For maximum drama , a Monster Hunter game announcement would be hilarious, then something equally crazy like Diablo Vita for the west.

But yes - the reality is likely "Here is Soul Sacrifice again! And Gravity Daze 2!"

However, that's talking about the masses - the only other thing that is of slight concern is that , if this machine really is going down the tube and it's going to limp along for 2-3 years, then -unfortunately- Sony seem to have done a good job on the projection so it's secondary potential life as an amazingly solid emu/homebrew box looks unlikely too.

But hell, if you can find something worth playing - go for it.

If you really want to play P4G and think that experience is worth losing whatever you'd gain by waiting*, then go ahead. If you didn't want to buy a Vita outside of P4G and are effectively treating it as if you're spending $300+ for a game and maybe some other stuff, then uh go ahead I guess maybe I dunno. If you have the money and think it'll make you happy, P4G is supposed to be nearly 100 hours long or something. That's a lot of time. $300+ is also a lot of money for some people (for a toy). Depends. Default response is "no" but there's an actual use and reason for purchase this time.

Is Golden that much better than Persona 4 on PS2 or something?

Know that you should've thought considered this a week or three ago when there were some good deal.!

*what, $50 price cut with included game and memory stick?

I would argue that prospective Vita buyers (all 7 of them) in the west aren't choosing between Vita and 3DS, they're choosing between Vita and tablets. I can get an iPad 2 here for the same price as a Vita + a game, and by the time I throw in a memory card it's getting close to iPad 4 pricing.

Ultimately I think you're right about it's future though.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: DCharlieJP on January 02, 2013, 12:32:31 AM: I guess i'm coming at it more from a JPN angle - i still think there's a slew of PSP owners who have yet to move but, as i say, once MH4 drops out here - if there's no sign of anything coming for Vita - then the chances of converting PSP owners to Vita owners is long gone.

That said - that's probably long gone anyways. PSP is the budget recession machine of forever. You can build a life long library on under a $100 - or , you know, just throw in a memory card and get the five-finger-discount on everything.
Title: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: Shaka Khan on January 02, 2013, 05:14:40 AM: I can't recommend the Vita with no PSP backlog. But if you're like me, someone with a big backlog and a PSP that shat the bed years ago, the Vita is a good deal. The budding Vita library and PS+ offers are a nice bonus. As long as you get a nice deal on the system and 32gb that is, but those aren't hard to come by these days.

Maybe Sony will use it as PS4 controller.

There is some talk about PS4 controller surprise,heard anything?
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: archnemesis on January 02, 2013, 06:04:07 AM: I really hope not. Even though the controls are great for a handheld system they're nowhere close as good as a DualShock 3. It's very easy to accidentally move the analog sticks while using the d-pad or the face buttons. Also, the shoulder buttons are a bit flimsy.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: maxy on January 02, 2013, 06:17:11 AM: I was thinking about redesigned Vita,of course.

I don't think Sony plans to piss off COD userbase.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: archnemesis on January 02, 2013, 06:23:52 AM: That'd be fine I guess. I still don't get the benefit of using a tablet for a home console, but then again I haven't played ZombiU or any of the other titles taking advantage of the feature. Maybe I should unwrap Nintendo Land.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on January 02, 2013, 07:21:39 AM: Not sure how it could work as a PS4 controller unless they're willing to ditch L2/R2, L3/R3, and integrate the back touchpad. Doesn't seem likely.

The only thing I can see working is if Sony really pushes cross play between the PS4 and Vita as a response to the Xbox Surface (or whatever they call it) and the Wii U gamepad. I don't know, we'll have to see. I'm not an industry insider or anything but I find it hard to believe that Sony won't start phasing the Vita out throughout 2013 to focus entirely on the PS4. It's past the point of revival and I'm not even sure bringing back Monster Hunter would revitalize it. It's a whole new world out there now.

However, there are so many good PS1/PSP/PSV games for it that I don't think you could get bored with it for the next couple of years. I guess to me is if I can generate $1/hour worth of entertainment from it when it is all said and done, I think it would be worth it. So as long as I play my Vita for over 180 hours, it wasn't a waste of my money after all.

hey, I need the details on this. What are the implications for someone who doesn't want their PSN account banned and would eventually like to get back to OFW? I will gladly hack the thing for a minute to play BBS.

If you like the games it has buy it and enjoy it, just dont expect too much from future support I think.

When I first played it I was like omg its so sexy omg.

Gantz has the same premise-- a bunch of people end up in a room mysteriously, don't know why, there's a mysterious person controlling it. Except instead of puzzles, they have to kill shit before it kills them.

Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: cool breeze on January 04, 2013, 06:11:33 PM: there's a lot of headache dealing with memory cards. like, if you have playstation plus, uncharted will take up most of 4 gig (smallest and cheapest card at $20). and since it's proprietary, the cards are expensive ($100 for 32 gigs). plus game saves are contained within the games, meaning if you delete the large uncharted file, you'll delete your saves as well. so, if you have a PC or PS3, you'll need to be backing up you stuff and deal with memory management. it's a whole lot of bullshit.

that's really the one sour point of the vita hardware. though, if you have playstation plus, theoretically you can upload saves to the cloud and delete the data on the unit. I haven't tried that myself.

Post by: Huff on January 04, 2013, 06:17:58 PM: Cloud saves work perfectly. Allows me to get by with only a 16 gig. Only problem is download speeds, but as long as I plan ahead or delete games when I'm done, it hasn't been a big deal

dont help me none since i only own P4G

can I atleast do the AR card stuff?
You can play the tutorial app called Welcome Park! There are a few free AR games available from the PSN store that are worth trying out for the novelty alone, but you'll grow tired of them almost immediately.

I managed to the same mistake when I bought my first PSP.

How likely are they to receive dev support 6 months from now?

I got it for $80 after shipping but looks like amazon.com has it for about $90 before shipping. So assume $100 worst case.

Probably not much development support. I guess a new Tales game is coming out for it and I imagine we'll probably get another couple of Falcom games, if you're into that kind of thing. There's a Killzone coming out for it in the next few months but in spite of the double sticks, most FPS games on Vita have been shit.

Honestly I think the main reason to get a Vita is if you missed out on a lot of PS1/PSP games and you want to catch up. For instance, I've been wanting to play Wild Arms XF and it is $10 on PSN. I don't have much faith in the original Vita software library but you never know. Depends on how stubborn Sony wants to be in keeping it going.

Edit: To be fair to the Vita, there's a lot of good original games out for it now. The "Vita has no games" thing is a bunch of bullshit.

somewhere between $600-$800

for that price, I expect dual analog sticks and buttons on my device. Why is apple so cheap that they can't just add that stuff? :teehee
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: archnemesis on January 05, 2013, 02:11:09 PM: Exactly, and the difference in price between a 16 and a 32 GB iPhone 5 is $100. I understand if you don't think it's worth the money, but comparing it with Apple products is just silly.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on January 05, 2013, 02:13:06 PM: I hope Apple's next generation of stuff will have a 128 GB SKU. My 64 GB 4S is filled up.

Post by: Don Flamenco on January 05, 2013, 02:14:41 PM: the phone bill is also $80 a month minimum, unless he's on a family plan or business plan.

I know the world likes Apple now, but remember what people used to say when apple products were "hipster"-- that they aren't a good value. They still aren't a good value. Not saying i don't like them, my macbook has been great and i'll buy another and i'll get an iphone if it ever goes prepaid. What you get for what you pay doesn't add up though...it's just that you can't get that kind of form factor and software and app support anywhere else.
Title: Re: a thread for people to convince me to not buy a vita
Post by: AdmiralViscen on January 05, 2013, 02:47:37 PM: My point was not to compare the two devices, but to say that I am not someone who wants to risk running out of space. Therefore I will not settle for a low spec Vita. Since Sony doesn't want me to use the 32GB MicroSD card I already have, I am stuck paying $350 for something that is near worthless.

I sell my old iPhones and iPads for nearly as much as I pay for them, there is no risk of them going belly up or being unsellable down the line.

For the record I don't think Apple should be selling 16GB anything anymore, either. But the point was not to make a direct comparison.

Post by: archnemesis on January 05, 2013, 03:47:42 PM: I just picked up my first smartphone, a 16 GB iPhone 4, for less than half of what I paid for my Vita. What do you use all that space for? I figured iOS games would be tiny.

It depends on what you get out of it. definitely hasn't been worthless to me. I'm not sure what the point of mentioning the idevices was for then....they have a tiny amount of space to me and do they have a port for flash memory now or something, cause you mentioned the micro SD card too.

I have about 40 games on my vita and still a couple gigs to spare. I could buy a $500 dollar ipad and be in the same "what do i even do with this" situation as you with the vita, so I'm not sure where we're going with this...point taken about the resale value though.

they're both fairly overpriced devices using bullshit proprietary memory with subjective usefulness...except one company can afford to have a device like that on the market and the other really, really shouldn't :lol

I guess one good thing about Vita memory is that the card size can always increase and prices can drop, go on sale, bought with store credit, etc. Though I'm not sure what incentive they have to drop prices...it's not like pro-duo that was used in a wide variety of devices.

Statement: Vita costs $350 with 32GB card. Device is not worth it to me at this price
Response: You only need a 16GB card.
Statement: I do not like memory management so I would not settle for 16GB, it's 32GB or nothing. For example, I have these other two devices that I do not memory manage, that are not being introduced for the purpose of direct comparison.

Nice thing about Japan is that the latest iPhone model is usually free with contract. So I finally paid an appropriate price for an Apple product.

As for the size of iOS games, some install at nearly 2 GB. Can't imagine getting by with a 16 GB unit. I feel tight enough with 32 GB. Few of those large games support cloud saving, too, so if you delete the game for space, bye bye saved game.

I totally :derp ed, was gonna ask why you couldn't just go into the file system and back it up.

I can only guess that's a combination of the exchange rate and Sony already giving up on the console. How many sales would really be gained from anything short of a huge price cut? $50 here or there will probably have little impact but cost Sony enough to dissuade them.

They should keep the price the same but sell a microSD->Vitacard adapter.

Go with P3P if you really have no other way to play it, it's decent but the lack of some things is noticable if you've played FES.

Besides PSN, I check the PS+ thread on gaf:

but you still have to sift for the lists. I think they announce new stuff on Mondays

go to content manager - PS Vita to PS+ Cloud transfer - click the "i" next to the save file, check the "upload automatically" box.

super stupid way of doing it...I thought my auto-upload was broken for a while until I realized I had to go through all those steps. It should be like the PS3 where they ask you on boot if you'd like to auto-up.
