I saw that Article :(

What I would like to point out is that he would never admit outright to a price drop this year....before they do it. From what I read, he danced around it in typical PR fashion. I am not saying they will or won't because Sony has been known to stand their ground plus they are kinda forced with their financial situation. He doesn't say "No there with not e a price drop in 2012" he says when asked WILL there be one "No, it's too early to consider". Too early could be until TGS(my predictions) and if things don't change so be it.

On the other hand they need to ADVERTISE the fact that it kinda did price drop with bundles. for 250 you can get a game and a Vita. They should also make one model(Wifi and 3G) at that price. Multiple teirs confuse the common consumer. All they see is $300 for just handheld when there is a cheaper model available(people don't want to know they are being cheap in their cheapness) so they don't feel obligated to buy the higher end model because they dont want to be losing features, yet they still dont want to pay that kind of money. Key to bouncing back and NOT Price Dropping...

• $250 VIta Wifia/3G bundle:includes AAA franchise + system+ 4-8GB Memory
• ADVERTISE!!! ADVERTISE!!!ADVERTISE!!! People barely know of these deals, let alone the thing even EXISTS!!

As you can see from this thread I was actually considering getting a PS Vita, but I got an iPad instead. Looking back, I'm glad that I did get an iPad! They are fantastic and I never set it down. Besides, I don't have time for a dedicated handheld gaming platform...proper gaming is meant for TV's screens IMO, not tiny handheld screens.

Data Inquiry: What is it that you can do on your iPad that is not available on Vita(or elsewhere for that matter)? How much did you pay for it? Do you have 3/4G service for it as well?

You should choose the second option

The iPad can do literally anything, and the UI is superb. Now that I have it I don't think I'll ever get a dedicated gaming handheld ever again. The apps in the app store are simple and fun, and I honestly don't have time to play in-depth games like Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Kid Icarus on the go anyway, so it suits me perfectly. Oh, and I bought it for £500 and it does have 3G.

Oh yeah, and I did choose the second option.

Do you work for Sony or something?

Data Inquiry: Who told you that? What is your agenda? Are you Jewish or HomoseKual?

I'm getting one, I'm just waiting for the white AC3:L bundle.

I would more like to know of any specific features you find yourself most often using on your iPad. For instance, my PC. I use it 80% of the time simply for the internet, My PS3 has become 40% Netflix and 55% Gaming, etc.

Personally I always thought the iPad(and the like) was kinda......pointless. To each their own but most people I see using it are only using it for the internet surfing. Others branch out a tad with internet based apps(Facebook,Netflix,Hulu). Which most things many of us could just do on our phone anyway and probably save a lot of money. God knows it's program capabilities are super limited in comparison to a full fledged PC/laptop. Basically it is a large overpriced, less than portable,iPhone hybrid, App Machine. This is my take of them anyway.

It's a cross between "too expensive" and "not enough games", but more the former than the latter.

If I buy now, I will be able to play the games that will undoubtedly be released on Vita in the future, but I will pay considerably more than after a price cut, potentially for a model with fewer features. I bought a PSP-1000 several years ago, and I'm not falling into that trap again.

Nooooo! They can't do that! A Price-Drop would be ridiculous!
