I really don't think price of hardware is a problem at this point given that you can find a Vita for cheaper than a 3DS these days.  They already knocked $50 off the price last year and it did absolutely bugger all to help sales.

I don't see the link to memory card prices either.  If they introduced a new Vita 2000 and immediately lowered the price, they'd be making about the same on it as they're making on the OLED model.  That's not really going to be much incentive for them to hack away at the MC prices either.

I agree with you that this announcement will be for Vita 2000 so they can be more strategic with pricing in future; and I even agree that VitaTV is a stupid idea.  But I still think it's the better thing to announce because if handled correctly, it can have a lot more impact than another handheld model can have.

Over my dead Body 2 game play from Taippei Game show. If you only want to see the game play skip to about 12 minutes since the first couple of minutes are character creation etc...

The game still looks rough in movement. I dunno if the camera is stuttering or if the player isn't using it properly. Still I really like the combat phase and it looks pretty so i want it.

Not sure how many people here play FFXIV:ARR, but remote play footage has come out. Yoshi-P had mentioned before that he wasn't sure how he would map the controls so that they are intuitive on the VIta and after watching them show nothing more than him walking about and not battling, I'm concerned it will control horribly. He talks about how they are using the rear touch panel, but I'm not sure that'll be sufficient. Also, the text might be impossibly small on that screen, but not sure, the stream res wasn't high enough so it might actually be fine. Either way, it looks really nice on the PS4 and the idea of being able to play it in some way, shape, or form on Vita is pretty damn cool. I'm going to try it out someday.

Dont mean to be off topic guys but if anyone could check this out it would be much appreciated thanks

Downloaded Toukiden demo...didn't get a chance to play it yet tho

Over My Dead body 2 looks gorgeous!

Ktay: I will give it a look/listen tomorrow morning :)

Well, Shahid should better deliver after his...Twitter marketing.

What I don't understand.

Why are those developers so dumb and always try to use the back touchpad instead of the front touchscreen.

I'm just playing jak3 and this game would have been 10x more comfortable if they used the touchscreen to replace r/l 2/3.

I hope some sony/square guys will read this and use their brain.

this, back touchpad is ass. R2/L2 should be top half of the screen and bottom half R3/L3. Also no need for deadspace on them either, use the whole thing. It would be so much more comfortable

You deserve a painful death. 

Games like this need their UI reworking if they're going to have useable remote play.
