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

Bolded I have on PsP.

FF1/2 I have on GBA, and FF3 and 4 and ChronoTrigger I have on DS.

The rest I could buy off the PS Store for my PsP - if I didn't have to make headway through a massive pile of backlog already!


ff1/2/3/4 are better on on the psp

I just bought a PSP, and I have about 20 games to beat on that first. Why spend $200 plus for a single game (Uncharted) when I can just hold off, get the console and games for less in the future, and concentrate on my 3DS/PSP/DS titles?
