Yeah, how horrible of them! They shouldn't make business, they should serve us, we deserve it, they owe it to us!

Thread should be locked, it's just a silly question. They did because they could - it's their product, nobody's forcing you to buy it.

 

Pretty much everything I have to say. Manufacturing costs, shipping costs or any other costs you might think of don't matter - it's their hardware and if they feel like it, they can price it "unfairly". You are the customer and in the end, you decide whether you want to buy the hardware or not.

 

Oh the horror!

Why can't they be more like microsoft that sold normal 2.5" hdd in som fancy plastic wrapping for an overprice.
Don't get me wrong, i got both the 360 and ps3 and each got their own great exclusive games but if you wanted to expand the storage of your ps3 you only had to salvage the hdd from your laptop, with the xbox it isn't that easy.

Besides who can blame sony for taking precautions with their new handheld when the previous one was hacked to shit.
I doubt people are going to buy the games if the vita gets hacked.

 

Look at it this way, they could have made the memory built in like apple and make you pay more for more space, I think they made a compromise there, they still make some money, and we can have as much memory as we want. That said, It's still ridiculous

 

I think he meant internal memory not RAM. Like the iPhone, all of its memory is internal, it has no card slot.

Also, the newer macbooks have their RAM soldered on the motheboard, so they're not swappable

 

Doesn't everybody? I sure as hell can't swap out the NAND of my friend's Wii U, or the flash of my Transformer Prime, or the internal storage of my dad's phone, or...

 

People crying about prices in luxury pastime shocker.

 

And the we'd be limited to the original amount of memory available for a gaming device, which rarely gets updated yearly like phones or tabs. Just look at SD and the prices now vs when the DSi was released. Didn't cost $20 to get a Class 10 32 GB card back then..

I don't personally like the prices, but once the price per GB becomes a bit better, I'll be getting a 64 GB, 128 GB or possibly bigger card.

 

Yeah was looking into that , it seems to me that they altered the mem cards physical shape to block the use of such adaptors from the PSP , theres no current adaptors available although work is underway in trying to dev one however the main issue i see is the fact that Sony cards arent much different in size to a micro SD , making a concealed adaptor tricky if impossible (makes me think that was on purpose too).

 

...it's not a "fat microSD", the connectors are not laid out the same way and all you'll amount to is clogging your PSVita with cardboard.

If anything, someone should just map what the Vita's memory card connectors do and attempt to mount it on a PC. As far as I know, people are "working on that". The adapter wouldn't really have to be concealed - you can use a "fake" card with some tape connected to it and mount the adapter anywhere on the system.

Remember that? It worked.
