Though I really want Persona 4 and maybe that Freedom Wars title, (Possibly even Tearaway)

But it's not really the price, but rather the memory cards. I mean the fk. That's such a ripoff to curb piracy. I'm saying no to that.

But I've actually held and played one for a while and it's actually really really good piece of hardware. But the software and the memory cards aren't helping.

If however there was a version that was free of mem cards and used SD cards along with a $199 price point and some more games then I could see myself getting one, likely during the end phase of the 3DS, or during a huge drought.

Till then I got my 3DS as long as Pokemon and Monolith's title will last me , so I guess around...2016? Is when it becomes a viable option for me, provided that Vita got rid of memory cards.

I still regret not getting that PSP though, but those were dark times for me. Luckily Vita's backwards compatible right?


the vita is backwards compatible via ps store.. lol

There are a ton of great jrpg's on the Ps store though

finalfantasy (remake) finalfantasy II (remake) finalfantasy III (remake) finalfantasy iv (remake) finalfantasy v (ps1 port) finalfantasy vi (ps1 port) finalfantasy vii (ps1 port) finalfantasy viii (ps1 port) finalfantasy ix (ps1 port) lunar silver star harmony (PSP) chrono trigger (ps1 port) xenogears (ps1 port) wild arms (ps1 port) grandia (ps1 port) wild arms xf (PSP) ys seven (PSP) trials of the sky (PSP) valkyria chronicles (PSP) valhallia knights trilogy (PSP)

and that's on the top off my head, the vita might have the best jrpg selection i have ever seen



it has to be the cost for entry. In Aus it would cost $300 for the vita + $60 for memory card+ $100 for two games. I will buy one if Aus gets a price cut for the vita and memory cards

dafuq, tell me where? that is an awesome deal. Seriously i might pick one up then



well i now own both but the main reason i stayed away from Vita at first was the MC prices, especially for a PS+ subscriber. However i feel it definitely has the games, if anything the 3DS lacks games for me. i only bought it for Pokemon and Zelda, although that dosent mean i don't buy other games aswell (Kid Icarus blew me away)

Just wait to you see a decent deal then price match at jbhifi, then ask if they can sell you the memory card for $99 instead off $117 and they should do it, most stores have seperate vita deals, just gotta find the right one :)



Mii-gamer you really need to catch the right deals. i paid $350 for the wifi model, PSABR and 32gb. seeing as im a ps+ sub (because of my ps3) i got Uncharted and Gravity Rush aswell the day i bought it. since then ps+ gave me MGS HD colllection,WipEout 2048, Lumines, Virtues Last Reward, SIne Mora, Mutant Blobs,Knytt Underground,Big Sky Infinity,Thomas was alone, Chronovolt, Velocity Ultra and Jet Set Radio. btw i bought mine on Boxing Day, maybe the End of financial year sales will bring a decent deal
