PSVita official price?

[diabolic-mind]

considering the cost of it, you would think that they would give you a code along with it for 1 free game download. im sure thought that it will come with some sort of demo's at the very least.

I thought about that myself but that would require that you buy one of the new memory sticks that they are using to store the game . I myself want the actual hard copy of a game before I buy one.
Sony might cut us a deal and package one of these memory cards in it but I'm kind of doubting it.

I don't think games for a handheld price should rival those of an actual console.. but thats just me =/

[Slowman]

I'm guessing they'll be $50.

Consider that they sell PSP games for $40 which is an absolute obvious rip-off. There are some really good PSP games but NOT ONE that's worth paying $40 for. I realize a lot of games are cheaper than that but those are just the ones that the public has figured out aren't worth $40 so Sony lowered the price.

Also, they have to know that they won't sell at $60. Why would I buy a Vita game when I could buy a PS3 game (or 2 PS3 Greatest Hits titles!).

what they should is one thing, but when they can say it's a direct ps3 port, they'll sell them at the same price. you'll see.

I don't doubt this possibility at all.

I honestly think that the VITA will either flop or get a large price drop shortly after launch. The price is to high to be worth it for current psp owners. It is too much like the PSP. I think that the touch screen doesn't make sense for the layout, as most of the middle of the touch screen is too far away from fingers to be usable. The touch sensor in the back will be used more, as it's in a good location. I think that the touch screen will be mainly used for browsing music, which is fine, but a lot of people prefer tactile controls. I think I will pass until the price drops, probably around next Christmas, if I even get it. I will probably wait until a revision that has more features, hopefully an SDHC/MicroSDHC slot. I think that it would be wise for sony to release an SDK of some sort, as it would attract developers, and if they charged for said SDK, then they would make a lot of money. I think that having a more customizable UI would be good as well.

when you play a ds, do you play with the touch screen and buttons at the same time? remember sm64 on the ds and how extremely uncomfortable it was to use the screen as a joystick and the buttons on the other hand? hell no, the touch screen will be used sparingly in games, like a prompt kind of thing. i do agree that the back panel may be used more often, probably as a L2/R2. I actually do agree on the vita's non-3g price, it seems somewhat fair to me. However, if the games will indeed cost as much as the tv- console games (which historically, will probably be 10 dollars less than the tv counterparts) then it won't be worth it.

Even today, im still evaluating whether i should get a ps3 or not, things in the industry are getting out of hand and i can get games on pc for much cheaper.

I don't think it will flop but I hope it does get a price drop fairly soon because I'm going to wait until it drops $50-$100.
I may be remembering something wrong but I think I read somewhere that if you buy a port of a PS3 game for the VITA you
will be able to play it on both systems. I'm sure I'm wrong on that but not sure.

[ieatjoemama]

Wow! It looks so promising. I think I'll get one myself!

[Pirate]

i'll get mine when the price comes down.
its more than current price of ps3 at launch

[Killa91]

idk 200 maybe

[ricpicado]

I'm believing that this console will have a really fast price drop

[superman314]

i agree so much for so little and lets not miss the fact it could be buggy

[iloveyew]

still wouldn't buy it.
