Forums - Sony Discussion - PS VIta: $249 for Wi-fi, $299 for 3G - Global 2011 Release

Mythe on 06 June 2011

For that price I'm definitely buying one at launch. Before i was going to wait a while.



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

Either the PSV's tech is oder then we thought, or Sony is selling this at a huge loss.

Neither. A lot of people just overestimated the BOM on the devices without actually sourcing comparable parts. 

Not made out of melted down gold bricks. Entry model probably has a BOM of about $200 and I'm willing to wait for iSuppli to do their breakdown for confirmation. 


Agreed. I think people dont realize how much of a ripoff the 3ds actually is. Sony will probably bringing in maybe a $5-$10 profit on PSV while nintendo is clearly bringing in at least $70 on 3ds.

Huh weird, I expected to come in here and hear everyone complaining about the lame appearance the Vita made. My friend and I just both watched the conference and not a single game nor feature interested us. We were both actually sad to see how hollow Uncharted looked. You can't outsource a Naughty Dog game like that...

Also, why does it feel like the Vita and the PS3 are getting a lot of the same games? I want my portable system to be unique... Because if it means getting the same game, I'd rather play it in greater glory/detail/resolution/comfort on the home console.

That's my friend's and my take on the Vita. Why are you guys excited? I want to hear where your point of view is coming from.

Playing games seamlessly on the go and on my PS3. The intuitive reloading tough screen of uncharted. The melee intuitive of uncharted. The ease of track building for modnation and LBP, just looking at teh LBP levels with touch screen is worth $249 IMO.

I respect if its not for you but to not understand why 95% of people are really excited about a $249 price tag with the product coming this year and what we saw, i have to question your intent, if im being frank.

do you have to buy the game twice then?  one for PS3 and one fro PSV?  or just buy the ps3 game.

if the later, how is psv going to make any money on software if most are just playing those games?  cause the games shown, it seemed like most were essentially ps3 ports.

Great price. Does anyone have the specs? Is it still gimped like the most recent rumors suggested?



Aiddon on 06 June 2011

meh, still not interested. I did find it funny how the audience was literally groaning the second Sony announced AT&T as the 3G provider. Plus the software just looks plain boring.

More like $140. Components and manufacturing of the 3DS are like $110. They could very well answer with a pricecut, but I guess they'll handle it the Nintendo way - doing nothing.

wow, sony is coming to play ball this gen. I hope Nintendo's mistakes with the 3DS don't come back to haunt them. I would almost think about getting this device except for I already have an Ipod touch, a 3DS, and a PS3 for my Sony fix. Maybe I'll get one in a few years when the price drops.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D
