Sony Gamescom Conference

[Qtis]

Nice to see a price drop, although I already bought a new PS3 for 195€ (was on sale, at the same time as the PSP was for 69€ (sold out by the time I got there though)). All in all the PS Vita is probably more interesting than the 3DS, but the new PSP is a bit meh. I wish they'd ditched the UMD on the PSP 3000 and made it with WiFi (like the PSP Go, but with a PSP 3000 screen). Though I don't see much use in the WiFi if not for online gaming (all content is available via bluetooth and PS3/etc), it is a nice add if there happens to be free WiFi around.

PS. Go for Sony, hopefully the PSV will get devs to make games (unlike the PSP nowadays). Admittedly the DS did get quite a bit more good games IMO.

I see.

Why (even by a bit) wider?

Anyway, if didn't already had a psp, I see no reason to get this one over the other the psp 1000-3000.

Pretty much. It's more of a "budget" thing so you can get a new PSP model for cheap. It could also help clear stores out of their UMDs for when the Vita comes out (since PSP games are digital-only on it anyway).

Facebook, Twitter, Skype... bah. looks like Apple's gonna get some competition. Nintendo, seriously, what the fuck? if they don't jump on this socializing bandwagon NOW, they will FALL. HARD. and that's coming from someone who loves Nintendo shitz. i love my 3DS, so put up some fight!

I don't think so....I see no reason to have my games completely interlinked to my social sites.....So you can know what trophies I get and games I buy? Why do I need to tweet on my gaming devices....My phone and computer can do that. Why in the HELL do I need skype on my gaming devices.....I don't even see a valid excuse to have it on my iphone (when I had one). I don't think Nintendo will fail just for not being all into the social networking craze....point blank period

People like that shit. People like to put in their facebook they have got a new trophy, or a screenshot of the game he's playing. Skype is cool for making phone calls and for videochating too, so it's a plus.

I understand why you see no appeal in things like this, but it's important on these days and a fucking nice PLUS.

It is a nice feature. While I don't like the idea of a handheld becoming what is essentially a phone, it is nice to have it all in one place. So I have a sort of love-hate relationship with that type of thing, but my opinion doesn't matter as it makes the companies money cuz as Maedhros said
