The minute Sony said save cards were all but mandatory (its pretty much guaranteed that any user will have one) and they they were proprietary and expensive... these forums and all others blew up in disgust and stupidity behind the whole thing. The minute people realized the monthly cost, up front cost, and lack of any multiplayer on 3G, the majority proclaimed it was a bad choice, stupid, etc... heck its had horrible sales on top of that to further show that majority consider it a waste of money. Buying a Lamborghini, Coach purse, etc are all wastes of money regardless if a few people are willing to spend the insane money on them. Fact is, its wasteful spending that could have been prevented. Sony could have used SD cards and saved everyone tons of money whiles still offering the exact same experience. 3G could have just been left out in total and probably help Sony recoup costs faster due to having one sku and simpler manufacturing/delivery process. |
The memory cards are the reason Vita is sold at a reasonable price. Otherwise the console would be at least $50 higher. Maybe you can tell us the difference between expensive console+cheap card and cheaper console+more expensive card.
How can sony save money if they use SD cards? This is as mind blowing as the guy who were saying if Sony made PSN subscription based the sales would increase.
