hey guys, wanna read something funny? look for the thread where this biased fanboy is trying to compare the £200++ Vita to a £500++ cellphone... keeps claiming that the Vita's power has been beaten by a mobile phone, that is "gasp"! over £500++ ahahahahaha! people just loves to keep spinning the wheel.


I actually don't mind him making the comparison.  It's the fact that in that thread, he's comparing the price of the Vita to the price of the iPhone because "you'll always have a contract so it's just accepted", with posts like this:

I'm not quite sure what he doesn't understand about contracts.  For example, when I got my iPhone 3GS, I paid a lump sum of something like £100 up front, and then £35 a month fixed contract for 18 months.  Once the contract was up, I switched to my current plan which is £10 a month for the same amount of minutes, texts and 3G limits.

So basically, I paid £100 + 18 x £25 = £550 for the phone on it's own.

Compare that to a £200 one-off payment for a Vita (+ a memory card these days I guess, but still), there's just no contest.
