Sony Now Partially Refunding Early Vita Owners for "Deceptive" Marketing

Queno138 · Nov 26, 2014

As much as I hated Nintendo's rehash to resell tactic,
I feel that it has a larger game base than Vita.

Hence I never got one.

The only games that I enjoy on PSP, no longer as fun on Vita.
Other games that I want to play from Sony, I'll simply hijack someone's PS4 ><

I can imagine 3G model being major let down for many. I do understand there has to be some features for those who has limits in their internet contract but what about thos who haven't? Not being able to play online and 5mb download size limit are insane when you just bought higher priced model and actual mobile subscriptions for it!

I have 4G as my main internet connection and I actually play all games with PC and consoles trough it so it just sounds weird that if I put that card directly into Vita there would be restrictions, but sharing that exact same connection trough wifi makes them go away.

BTW I have brand new looking 3G model just because it was super cheap second hand. It looked like someone bought it day one and then just forgot about it.

Bwhahahhahhahahahahaahaha

I've NEVER supported Sony at all. Never owned anything with the word Sony on it. I think it's funny, that they have to pay back for ripping people off.

People own PSVitas? :wtf:

VashTS · Nov 26, 2014

I'm wondering if they are going by manufacture date...I have a Vita it might be old but not sure.

I'll take $50 in store credit. I'm on 3.18 i think with Gladiator Begins hack hate to lose it but really I don't play it. I have a PSP sitting right there by my Vita so if really want to play PSP I can. The display might be nicer on the Vita but idc.

Yeah they'll be issuing five rebates for all the consoles they sold in 2012

I really like the Vita but the last game I finished was Child of Light. It's the Wii U of handhelds.

Except there's no smash bros. or bayonetta to save it. Only Klu Klux Klan grand-dragon Nathan Drake and a worthless port of Borderlands 2 that didn't bother to account for the 4" Screen size. Soon as I read and saw that in action, it immediately turned me off to B2 on the Vita.

I never thought that the advertisments were in any way deceptive - the system was designed to be a PS4 companion, the PS3 had the PSP. My launch PSVita is still going strong, but I suppose it's not for everyone and not everyone is satisfied with what it offers.

I can totally agree with this. I'm still waiting on it to have something compelling... or more realistically, I'll likely forget about it until it gets properly hacked, then pick one up and let myself discover what games it does have available after, like it was with the PSP.

Good they own me some money for a crappy handheld. I bought it a week before its us release that bundle that came with the case and little deviance's. Two be fair its ok with eCFW thats what I'm running but not hacked it sucks the games are crap besides like 4-6 games so yeah I would like some of the 400 dollars I spent on it

They'll be going by registration date.

I didn't register it, maybe the guy I bought it from did. That stinks, it should be manufacture date.

Foxi4 · Nov 26, 2014

They should be going by proof of purchase - I could easily track down a couple cheap Vitas, make some quick buck and return them the moment I get the money. Be reasonable, people.

You're pirating games on it and you think THEY owe you money? Gotta love that entitled attitude. You knew what you were buying, nobody forced you to get one, you made a conscious decision to part ways with your money in exchange for the system, your satisfaction with it means jack shit. They don't owe you anything and your buyer's remorse is your problem - learn how to spend smart or don't be an early adopter next time.

prowler · Nov 26, 2014

Well, it's going by your account, when you activated your Vita and emailing you via the email you used to sign up.

It doesn't tell you when you registered system though :/. Proof of purchase won't work, not everyone would've kept a nearly three year old receipt unless it was bought online.

I dunno, calling it Danny DeVita seems pretty out of line. Danny DeVito is very successful.

Skelletonike · Nov 26, 2014

Meh, it's true that the Vita doesn't have as many big name games as the 3DS, but both of them are great handhelds and people seem to complain about the Vita too much.
This is actually a nice move, 50$ in store credit is more than enough to buy a recent game or two not so recent games (especially with all the promos PSN keeps putting).

In the meantime I'll keep farming for components on Freedom Wars while playing SMT IV.

My sexy accessory also pities the Vita

Quite a nice game with great graphics for such a 'crappy' system huh... =3

digipimp75 · Nov 26, 2014

I love my Vita, but stopped playing it months ago due to just lack of interesting games. I already picked up all the good ones. P4G is AMAZING, Gravity Rush, Uncharted, and maybe a few others. They really screwed up with the price of the damn proprietary memory cards.

Thirty3Three · Nov 26, 2014

I bought two early on. So. Am I entitled?
