Also he confirmed that it will reach here on 22nd Feb. I was thinking it will come around late March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelivolusDas Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I've read quite a few reviews of the Vita and almost everyone says that the screen catches dust and finger-print marks very very easily...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avkash Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I will go in for a pre-order if the offer is nice. Let's see. Also without a protective glass the screen-guard makes a lot of sense. @mahasoof: dude I do happen to have a PSP Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear, we might not even get 32GB memory cards. i heard its the same for whole eu region.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I doubt it. From what I hear, we might not even get 32GB memory cards. But there could be aftermarket ones that will make it to the streets right ? Or is that unlikely this time? Btw, assuming a person buys most of the vita games physically, and has no interest in storing media, would a 16gigger suffice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used my psp and ds extensively without a screen protector and they are still fine. Haven't got one for my 3ds either, although I may this time if the OLED is particularly prone to scratches or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 More than enough. I need a 32GB due to PSOne games and certain PSP games I've downloaded over the years. Also, in case there are some good deals on digital Vita games. Deals on digital vita games already??? How much would a proper vita game take in terms of space? Say a good graphics heavy title. Uncharted? The 32Gb card will be a killer on the wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelivolusDas Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Memory cards at the ready for PS Vita 3.5GB Uncharted: Golden Abyss download When PlayStation Vita launches next month, one item that every gamer is going to need to buy for storing PSN downloads, game saves and personal media, is Sony’s new proprietary memory card. PS Vita does not come equipped with internal storage, so you’ll need to buy a memory card with your unit, which will be available in various sizes ranging from 4GB to 32GB. You can, of course, buy physical copies of PS Vita games from stores and opt for a lower priced memory card, but by taking advantage of the PlayStation Store you’ll save yourself a few pennies as games are certain to be a little cheaper without the fancy packaging and distribution costs to worry about. Well, that's what we thought. But it appears that, in the long term, those who download via the PlayStation Store will still be hit in the pocket in a round-a-bout way. Our European PS Vita unit arrived earlier this week and Uncharted 3: Golden Abyss weighs in with a hefty 3.38GB download. In fact, the six games that we have picked up from the PlayStation Store are going to take a whopping 900 minutes to download and fill up our 16GB memory card significantly even before the official launch and the numerous third-party Vita games we plan to download. That means our 16GB card, which will cost £39.99 to buy at launch, is only going to host a handful of quality games before we’re forced to either buy an additional memory card, or purchase physical copies, which will be sold at a premium price. In Japan, reports state that copies in store are approximately 20% more expensive than from the PlayStation Store. We currently don’t know Sony’s plans for the U.S. and U.K., but we’d guess they’ll be a similar premium to pay. Of course this is all a great way of earning Sony some extra cash after selling PS Vita, and can we really blame them trying to recuperate hardware costs after losing out so heavily each time a PS3 unit is sold? We’d suggest then, unless you really do like buying physical copies of the games and don’t want to take advantage of the convenience and lower price of the PlayStation Store, that all you upcoming PS Vita owners bag yourself the biggest card you can get your hands on. Ah, but there's a slight problem. In Europe, the largest memory card you can buy (32GB) will not be available at launch for some bizarre reason, so gamers will have no choice but to opt for the 16GB card. In the U.S., GameStop has the 32GB card available priced at $99.99. This PS Vita gaming isn't cheap you know. For those who buy a lot of games and want the convenience of digital downloads, you can expect to dish out a fair amount of cash on memory cards over the life cycle of PS Vita. It wouldn’t have been too much to give us a little bit of internal storage on PS Vita for game saves, would it? Hopefully, it will all be worth it. The second bold includes us as well, I believe...... I feel it makes sense to pay a large amount one-time to get a memory card..... Compared to paying more each time you buy the retail version of the game...... Either ways, I feel, the proprietary memory cards SDB...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 The investments are huge for this thing from a buyer's perspective. I'd rather wait for a while than getting it at launch. No desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturing cost of Vita is much more than the price Sony is selling it to the people Sony is making vast losses in HW , it has to recover that money from somewhere else .. U can't recover all that money in a shorter span by selling games . Plus Sony doesn't charge PSN users . (MS gets $60 per person and there are more than 20 million Gold accounts) It makes sense to use proprietary cards if the company has to survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we fall under the EU zone, the download size of the games from the PSN store will almost certainly be bigger compared to other region stores (thanks to multiple languages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 You can store your purchases on PC and PS3. So memory card filling up won't a be such a big problem. I don't think I will carry more than 3-4 games at one time on the Vita. Also I don't think all the games will be so big like UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And $99 for 32gb is costlier than ssds, Sony is really digging its own grave here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Costlier than SSDs? You sure? Either way, the more I think about it, I'll take physical Vita games over digital copies unless the price difference is at least 40% which I doubt will ever be the case. Looking to invest in a 32GB card for PSP/PSOne games. SSD is about 1.5$ per GB, Vita card is more than 3$ per GB, and it gets worse for cheaper cards (5$/GB for 4GB card) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
