Blame piracy but also the need for Sony to have universal read speeds across all their memory cards. When you consider that downloading games is a big part of the Vita ethos, you need that parity which SD Cards etc don't allow. There's too many varying read speeds so a proprietary format is the best way to combat this. And, they're cheaper than the PSP memory sticks were when that launched.

Got mine on Tuesday. So I guess this article is 2 days too late. Pity....

Why should it concern them?

Mine came yesterday, completely unexpected. Loving it so far.

Why is this a problem? I'm a regular buyer of V-Jump and it's common for one franchise to get the cover in each issue. Same with Shounen Jump. Sometimes Naruto may get the cover, sometimes One Piece, maybe Medaka Box...It's not unusual.

It's not expensive at all considering its the most powerful handheld device on the market. For you, personally it might be, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not expensive. People need to look at value more than they do numbers.

ronin don't talk to me like I'm some kind of idiot. If economic value is measured in numbers then you've further proved my point, PS Vita is not expensive. It's the most powerful handheld device on the market and yet cos...

Jak & Daxter. I'm calling it NOW.

The polish is greater on the HD ports being at a higher resolution and with better aliasing. However they probably mean certain things in the 3DS version have been done better because, despite what some people say, MGS 3D is actually a remake, not a port. That said, I tried the demo and I still can't stand using the face buttons for the camera, so I'll wait for the HD Collection to his PS Vita.

Wrong. Aside from say Cod, FPS and Assassins Creed, almost every 3rd party franchise sells better on PS3. Fact.

3DS' 16 million sales say Yes. What a silly question.

Good stuff, because I have Final Fantasy 7,8 and 9 waiting to be played. And Grandia, although I've almost finished that.

Its the most powerful handheld device on the market right now, does as much as any smartphone minus make calls..I could go on. No doubt you do own a smartphone, and paid a ridiculous amount of money for it OR, you're on a contract where by you actually spend more than the phones retail price over the space of the 18 months you're tied to the contract.

Just sayin'

Not getting a hit from me. My personal GoTY. You know its a troll/hit thirsty article when it's about 4 months late.

If anythings impaired, it's the controls. Reminds me of while I enjoyed Peace Walker, I'll never play Metal Gear Solid on a handheld again if it doesn't have dual analogs.

You didn't buy a 3DS at launch. The system hasn't been out for a year. Quit trolling. Also, the touch screen is perfectly responsive for me. Never had any problems. That said the 3DS screen pales in comparison to PS Vita's.

Tales of Graces F happened.

5140d ago 6 agree0 disagreeView comment

It was never announced for April or March for NA, just '2012'. Especially when NamDai are publishing Tales of Graces F in the states in March, I doubt they'd want Ni no Kuni to cannibalise the sales of their own franchise.

Escape Plan is priced well. Will be getting the pre-order pack with my Vita so a further £5 discount on Escape Plan through the voucher code they give you sounds great. Can't wait/

The haters need to stop bringing up price. The PS Vita has better specs than any tablet or smartphone on the market. Not only that but it costs half the price. You're telling me I'm getting ripped off, for buying a PS Vita, with 3 games, a 16GB Memory Card and an Accessory Kit for £340? Yet an iPhone, that has a starting retail price of £499.99 isn't a rip off? Despite Vita dwarfing its specs? Get out of here.

Lets run this down. In the UK, the average 2...

I've noticed, over the past 5 or so years I've had a PS3, that apart from literally a couple of exceptions, all the people I've come across who critisize the PS3 with moot points, are people that don't own a PS3 or have had next to no contact with one hands on in their life.
Everything they know about it is through 'journalist' sites and wherever else they get the skewered news from.

I've heard people hate on the PS3 for having clothes etc ...
