If someone prefers the Black PS-Vita, then getting it with that bundle makes sense because you get Game + 4GB memory + device for same price as just device.

If someone prefers the White PS-Vita, then they get a better game included (AC-3 Liberation) but even that is a pale shadow of a game compared to the latest AC game on console.

Perhaps something more unique to PS-Vita and really high quality (with reviews to back) should get packaged instead of things like Madden, CoD, and AC when people still clearly prefer to play the better versions of those on their consoles.

...

A better more interesting poll would be, which game should Sony pack in Vita before you consider getting it at $200?

PS All-Stars Battle Royale? White or Blue?

Persona 4 Golden? Black Vita or Red Vita?

LittleBigPlanet Vita? Black or Blue Vita?

Uncharted Golden Abyss? Golden Vita? Before you dismiss... have you seen the Gold colored Sony Vaio laptops? They look gorgeous

Killzone? Black Vita

Rachet & Clank? Green Vita

Something else?

What about the similar number of fools with Resistance Burning Skies Platinum Trophies... and can't even say they got the game with the bundle deal

Only hardcore Internet dwellers care about metacritic. Your average consumer doesn't care (or know) that it got a low score. This game was going to sell decently no matter what because its Call of Duty.

Not that I care at all, but I'm pretty sure it's spelled Declassified.
The way you've spelled almost reads like: CoD Dissatisfied.
...unless that was on purpose. In which case, good job!

I picked up the AC:L Vita bundle, though I don't really care about Assassin's Creed or PS All-Stars, they just aren't my kind of game.  I would have paid $20 more for a Persona 4 bundle in a heartbeat.  A Killzone bundle would have been great and I would rather have LBP Vita than AC:L.  Still, not going to complain, what I got for the price was pretty awesome and I like the white Vita.  Red or Blue would have been better, however.

I have zero desire for the CoD Vita game but I wouldn't have wanted it regardless of the metacritic score.  CoD does nothing for me.

This game is getting too much flak. Not saying it's a great game but it certainly does not deserve 1/10's or 2/10's. They forget Nihilistic worked on the game for just 5 months...What did you expect.

I hope the game really is worth more than 30/100 and people don't get totally dissatisfied with the Vita and try to get rid of it or put it on a shelf and never pick up again. I plan to get the game when it get's a price cut.

From the marketing point of view, it's a good thing that a CoD game was bundled and they need to do the same thing next year, just this time Activision should make a good game! I totally don't get their marketing strategy both with CoD and AC:L. Why release them the same day as the regular games? Why? You could do it 4-6 weeks earlier to increase the hype around the franchise, include some hints about the main game, etc. And they could even implement crossplay with PS3, why not? Just add a good campaign and a second set of trophys to entice people to play the Vita game.
The only reason for this absurd practice I can think of is that the games were barely finished when they were released anyway, but this shouldn't be a problem next year, especially with developers getting experienced with the Vita. I just hope developers won't get dissapointed with the sales and will give us much better sequels.

I just can't see an fps working on a handheld, even one with dual joysticks. I feel like the controls would be tricky and the screen too small to see what's happening at such a quick pace in a 3D space.

We'll see with Killzone. If this game doesn't turn out to be good, then I'll be close to agreeing with you, though I'll still wait for a good FPS till the end of 2013. I will be massively dissapointed should we not get a good FPS till next X-mas.

Nope, no Zombies mode, no sale
