An 8/10 for repairability is good, i'd much rather do it myself than send it off somewhere where i don't trust the people with my device.
@darthv72 You've completely mis-understood what was said, you can play games whilst charging if you use the wall outlet.
It's when you want to charge via USB it won't charge, although it does if you use the portable charger.
Edit: No worries Darth ;)
Day one on the 3DS? I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Web Browser for the 3DS until June, NOT day one.
The 3DS released in the US on March 27th, the Web Browser update was released on June 6th a whole 71 days after the 3DS was released. That isn't even close to Day one.
...It's an Xbox 360 controller for use with the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 3, or any Xbox 360 game. XD
That Xbox 360 controller looks really nice, i'm probably going to consider getting it at some point. The Razer onza's are far better than the stock 360 controller.
It's not an iOS device that is trying to do everything, it's a handheld games console for playing GAMES. The added extras are nice but they aren't required to enjoy the core experience.
A tad? I think it makes them look very stupid, i'm willing to be that if the Vita does succeed in 6 months or a years time then all these websites will claim they knew it was going to suceed etc. etc.
It's getting the MGS HD collection soon. I can't wait.
So Uncharted, Wipeout, Super Stardust, Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 and Rayman Origins are all not worth owning period?
The launch line-up is one of the best launch line-ups of any console ever. Period. And nearly every gaming review website would agree.
I don't think 8/10 people hate it. From talking to my friends and others who are gamers most of them are interested in and will be purchasing a Vita at some point, but maybe not at launch.
If people don't want a Vita then they don't want one and that's fine by me but the annoying thing i've found is that the vocal majority of the people who are complaining about the Vita are the sort of people who wouldn't bat an eyelid and defend it like mad if it was £50...
If you replace Little Deviants with Super Stardust Delta then that is all the titles i'm picking up at launch :D.
Super Stardust deserves that spot more than Little Deviants, Little deviants is really just a big tech demo in my eyes. Although it is the only title that showcases nearly all the aspects of the Vita.
@Freshnikes There is that yes, also the 3G/WiFi version has a GPS chip built in so apps like Near work much better on it.
It's more of an alternative to those who don't want to pay for an extra lot of 3G on top of what they pay for there phone.
@I_OWN_YOU Whilst Sony stand to make a profit on each individual Vita sold which is something like $10-20 they won't break even until they recover some of the losses they made from developing the Vita.
Once that happens and sales start to slow down a lot i can see them dropping the price by $30 or even $50.
Also that figure is wrong as Shuhei Yoshida pointed out that figure is based on someone's estimates of what the hardware inside the Vita costs the company to buy, n...
No they won't, some applications like t@g are limited to 3G/Wifi models only.
You can, they're just pointing out that you can pay $50 less and get the wi-fi only version and still have the 3G functionality-ish of the 3G one by tethering it.
I don't have a custom ROM, mine is just the rooted version of the OS that came with my Xperia X8 which is why i use that app.
The best way to do it i've found is to Root your phone and then download an app from the android marketplace called Barnacle WiFi tether. It's really simple to do :).
It's not overpriced it's expensive hardware with an expensive price tag. They're two different things that people seem to get confused.
It can play PSP games that are on the PSN store from the get-go and PS2 classics support is going to be patched in in the future.
Also there will more than likely not be a price drop for at least a year because Sony, unlike Nintendo, are selling for a small profit on each device rather than the big profit that Nintendo was selling for which enabled them to drop the price and still make a profit.
Yeah the UK get them as well, the contents of the box is almost identical apart from we get a 3-pin wall plug because that's what's used in the UK.
