wow so like is like $250 + the memory 2gb $30 =$280 thats alot of money also the games so is like +$300


not sure if want now

Oh yeah, and when the 3DS launched at a whooping $250 it was perfectly fine. Just thought it'd be worth noting that the Vita has a built-in GPS module, faster CPU, stronger GPU and two analog nubs rather than one, which already warrants the extra $30, seeing that you'll have to pay extra for the second analog on the 3DS and a GPS module is... a distant dream at best.

I'll give it a month, two on the outside, before the memory cards are reverse-engineered and we get a cheap Chinese microSD-to-Vita adapter. And that is assuming Sony crams the card full of copy protection.

 

[Foxi4]

Wow... Valwin... wow... you didn't get the joke. Like, at all. It flew right over you and you never notice. Okay, chit-chat over. Not worth it. I will now carry on dwelling in my corner of solitude, thinking how I could've made my point more obvious.

Judging from the size of the card, that's doubtful... BUT, I assume there will be alternative makes of the cards available, yes.

Doubt it, judging by the size of the cards alone. Can't make an adapter that small... but, there surely will be alternative manufacturers soon enough.

lol yes i hope so

 

[Deleted User]

Oh dear, Sony.
Someone get Sandisk out of their cave to make some stuff for the Vita now.

 

[Giga_Gaia]

USB cable for 15$ is no big deal. I assume 99% of the people have one. I mean, they're used for the PS3 controllers, the PSP and cameras and cellphones.

You don't have to.

It's not the most elegant solution, but if it could save you $100, why not?

I see what you did thar.

That be HDD, we be talkin' SD adaptah. 4Gb ain't much, pardner', but I must say, I've nevah seen such a contraption in me life.

Well technically we were talking large-card-to-small-card-slot adapter. The adapter had a 4GB Microdrive, but it could be replaced with a Compact Flash card so it's technically a card-to-card adapter This thing cost $100 when it came out, and at the time it was cheaper than getting a 4GB Memory Stick Duo.

 

[Foxi4]

Oh yeah, I read that much. Sticks like that were about $300 bucks or something, making the purchase "unreasonable" at best.

Puts things in perspective, doesn't it? Few years later, and we're whining about $120 for 32Gb.

There is a difference of trying to get money than outright greed...

No, no there isn't. It's not like the game industry is full of poverty stricken laborers who need to charge higher prices just to get by. No, it's an entire industry based on people buying luxuries. It's not like they're selling food or electricity, they're selling fluff. To say that a certain other company may raise their prices because they're "trying to get more money" and another game company is raising the price of their proprietary medium because they're "greedy" is just the same thing, albeit different ways of doing it.

EDIT: You think a game company might sell something cheaper because they're nice? Fuck no, lower prices equal more sales, which in the end can mean more profit than selling an expensive system and getting less sales. All the major gaming companies are greedy, to deny that is to be incredibly ignorant and completely stupid.
