Vita Price Drop at E3

[NostalgicMillennial]

What's a Vita?

Circle of Life

no. Really. That's what it means

They should have not bothered with the back touch thingies to reduce costs.

I don't think its too powerful, its the right amount of a step up after the PSP and also it needed to be more powerful (not just graphically but in other things) than the 3DS otherwise it wouldn't really have much else to say for itself other than being Sony's new handheld.

I don't think there's that much need for such power in handheld games just yet, what matters more is how the experience is crafted.
The 3DS has already gotten to a comfortable point that most of the games assets can all be in 3D now, I don't mean displayed in 3D but modeled in 3D. A great deal of DS titles were still all 2D games and we're going to be seeing less of this now. Even these 2D games will have 3D graphics enhancements.

Again, whether or not the system is overly powerful it's about using it well. I'd argue the clamshell design of the 3DS with its two screens, good analogue input, comfortably sized buttons and other details probably deliver a better experience than the Vita could. The rear touch-pad thing is just silly.

You know how much processing power it takes a handheld to render at the Vita's screen resolution?

The technical minimum is pretty low, actually. Sheer screen resolution is not a good basis for comparison.

They should have not bothered with the back touch thingies to reduce costs.

The touch thing costs $5 tops, it's probably one of the least expensive features on the console. Dropping that wouldn't have saved them much (except in the design/R&D stages).

Question is... any program to save up for those who got the $250 pricetag?

 

[lostdwarf]

So is it :
1. Vi(gh)ta?
2. Vi(ii)ta?
3. Vi(tt)ta?

Apparently it can't do real 3D. =Not that powerfull.
(if you take my post seriously, you need a vita)

Looks like my refusal to by another console at launch will probably work out very nice for me

 

[Clydefrosch]

i wonder if the vita price drop will be received as critically as the 3ds one.

 

[Fibrizo]

They really need it

The Device is just no selling if this continue it will be one of the biggest flops ever.

 

[Fishaman P]

I thought Sony said that they were so beast, the Vita was gonna pwn the 3DS without a price drop...

BS, it's not going to be one of the biggest flops ever, definitely not.

OT: I hope they do it and they do it fast and in the EU too. I've been interested in the PSV from the start.

That source has as much credibility as the mooted remake of Kevin Costner's Water World over at BigFatLies.co.fib

 

[Langin]

As long as they compensate me with a few games I can select from, or give me the price difference in store money back! hah I would love that!

It must be Valwin, it must be!

 

[Janthran]

I still don't have enough money.

 

[Rasas]

Some people such as myself would rather have a larger card so including a card instead of a price drop might not be the best way to attract some people but I suppose they will have the bundle and the regular version with a price drop.

 

[adrian2040]

If Sony truly wants to mimic Nintendo's successful 3DS price reduction then they better give us free games too.

HI VALWIN!

;O;

 

[Fibrizo]

is gravity rush out yet ? if its that could help i hear is really good

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Oh.

But I'd rather they package a 4GB card with the console at the same price.

However, I doubt this. Kaz himself says that he wasn't hopeful of a price drop, but he wants to rely on software.

That's not really gonna help, I got my 4GB card for like $15. If it was, say, a $50 price drop, with the money you save you could get a memory card and a cheaper game.
