The PSV Eindhoven thread.
So, my local Gamestation has started littering the place with PS Vita game boxes. Bit disappointing to see the usual suspects - Wipeout, Everybody Golf etc etc - but the machine itself does look good even if it clearly is trying to do too much.
Anyone going to bite? I see a big price drop in its future personally so I'll probably hang on for a while.
PEOWWcast 3.3 - Technical Difficulties
I won't be but I agree the price is going to go through the floor like a lead balloon before long. I'd hang on till Easter at at least. Should take a large chunk out of it, especially if the 3DS sales continue to pick up.
I wouldn't. Not for any particular dislike for the product, I just know i've had a PSP, DS and hardly ever use them.
How much are they?
I might get one, haven't decided yet.
I like Everybody's Golf.
You're in my spot.
I had a DS Lite. It was great, until I realised that I didn't like paying £30 for a mobile game and that a lot of them were crap.
Like many other people, I'm not going to sit on my sofa and play portable games, so a portable device gets used while travelling, and while on the bog, and for that the iPhone will do nicely.

That said... the unit itself is expensive but, more importantly, the games are going to be too expensive for my blood. If I can't afford to buy PC or Xbox games then I'm sure as hell not going to shell out the equivalent (or more, when compared to most PC games) for a handheld game. Sony had me with the hardware, but the game prices have let it down.
Oooooooh it's an invisible signature... oooooooooh!!
Only Game so far are advertising a pre-order incentive, I'm waiting to see who else has offers.
You're in my spot.
Apple have pretty much redefined the handheld gaming market. I can't see me paying £30 + for a game when I can get them for 59p + for my phone. This will be the last generation of 'handhelds', industry needs to adapt.
[Good Job Boots]
I have too many unplayed DS and PSP games to consider even thinking about getting a new handheld...
"By the tits of my ancestors!"
^^^ This ^^^ While I believe that there is still a place in the industry for proper handheld consoles as opposed to dicking around on phones, I have far too many games on the to play pile to get one at launch, and even then the prices are way too high. I don't give a damn about touch functionality, cloud gaming, or 3D and resent paying the price that these things will invariably add to games.
