I wonder... Does the Vita version look as good as the PS4 version through remote play?
Only if the games keep coming - I think the guy has a valid point. Remote Play could have a negative impact on dedicated games development. I hope it won't though - I love that little machine and I want to see more dedicated games in the future! Fingers crossed! On the bright side, the more consoles sold, the more developpers are likely to come up with new games... We'll see...
Which is why I put up with the 3 hrs line at the second store... Wasn't able to get AC4 though... Oh well, I'll start the new gen with COD, BF4, Killzone and the 2 ps+ games... not too shabby...
It wasn't so bad if you were in line half an hour before the opening (about 15-30 min once you're in), but I went to a second store and it was insane - had to wait 3 1/2 hours, and they only had COD... To those who didn't go, there's probably not much left...
This is an awesome deal - considering that I already had 3 of the free MS games from this summer (deadrising2, halo3 and AC2), I'll just trade them and get ps3 copies of all 3 games, and pay the $10 for their ps4 version - including ps+, that's 5 almost free games!!! I hope they have good quantities in-store... Tabarnak!!!
More likely that they had to delete it as it may hurt the dev's sales on the xbox one...
@turnerdc - I wonder... I see an HDMI output, a network connector, a 3rd thing I can't id, and... what possibly looks like a proprietary usb port! Now if it could support an external HD drive...the possibilities are endless!
Not a big price cut, compared to the 3DS... Remember, they cut the 3DS price by about 1/3, the $50 less is a 1/7 cut - I doubt it will have the same impact on their sales (although, the 3DS was also just starting to get better games when they did it - not so with the Wii U, as far as I know)... note how they come up with those price cut just when the competitor's next gen consoles are coming out (just like the 3DS when the Vita came out)... I wish them the best though!
I wouldn't compare the Wii U to the Vita... The Wii U is more like the Gamecube, and that's not a good thing... Not that the Gamecube didn't have great games... It just never got the momentum it needed.
The difference is that now, you can upload your save directly on the cloud using the Plus icon in the LiveArea of your game, instead of having to copy the whole bubble on your PC (which usually takes much more space as it includes updates and saves - and the game itself, if you downloaded it from the PS Store). Nice little feature, although I would also like to have the possibility of copying the save only on my PC...
I already have 60+ hours on shin megami tensei IV! and I'm just about halfway through! I love those high value games! :)
Sam has some good points, but you can probably find it for less than $20, and at that price, it's a decent deal.
I'll never know why that franchise isn't more popular... I'm really looking forward to this new entry.
I share your pain.
It IS a game changer... Now all I have to figure out is whether I dish out the $100 more for the kinect or not... And I still don't like the idea of a mandatory kinect...

"***You forget that, of the 76 M consoles sold, many were bought more than once by the same users, due to the 360 being a defective piece of crap***
Which doesn't matter since the figures being used are based on Xbox accounts, not number of xbox 360s out there"
The article compares the number of consoles sold worldwide (76 M) vs the number of gold accounts (48 M) and determines very unscientifically that 2/3 of the xbox...
@cgoodno
You forget that, of the 76 M consoles sold, many were bought more than once by the same users, due to the 360 being a defective piece of crap (I had to buy 3, and 2 of them were replaced during the warranty period!). Not enough data and numbers are made to say things that they don't say - pretty bad article overall.

A killer app is a game that sells consoles (usually an exclusive) - everyone wants to play it so bad that they will buy the console just for that game. There aren't that many games at the moment that fit that description on the Vita. I'm not saying that there aren't any good games on it (that's preposterous!), just not one game that would make everyone rush at the counter to get a Vita. And that's a damn shame. It's the greatest handhel...
I want it too! No fair!
Personally I'd rather own them... But some of the ps+ deals are just plain amazing, especially when there's a psn sale - I got pretty much all Vita fighting games for $10 or less a pop! Totally worth it! Now if they could just come up with a 128 gb memory card...
