It needs a pricecut UNFORTUNATELY.
because well. i think all people that say it is too expensive are simply ignorant. the screen is a blast, the specs are very fine. it HAS the games (i for instance play it about ten times more than my 3DS, because i just can't find very much to play on the 3DS).
and screw that memory card prices. really, you get a 4 gig in nearly every bundle. and those 4 gig last some time. just download the ps plus games (which alone adds plenty of value) on your pc / ps3 and park them there. if that's too much, just buy a 16 gig card.

the vita's most problem is those nay-sayers. it got bad word from the very beginning. i personally can't understand why the 3DS sells this shitloads while the vita still getting hate. and this hate is so irrational. and yes, this is a rant-post and i won't go into reactions to this.

but, yes, as i say. vitas problem is ignorant consumers. paying 600 USD for a IPhone, paying thousands of dollars for a HDTV, but a handheld? for 250 bucks? thats overpriced! i will go for a 3DS for 200 bucks instead, because THAT's cheaper!

£149.99, should be enough, but memory cards need a big drop in price. I got mine for £140 from amazon Germany with Little Big Planet :D

Exactly this. I would pay double what they are asking if there was complete remote play. But as it stands, I can't really justify the purchase.

Since i already got it i need TEH GAMEZ! Bring killer games in 2013 and not half assed, watered down conversions and we GAME ON! Make games that ppl WANT to play on vita since the price drop will kill sony more:P

Yea, I tried remote play with mine, but unfortunately that was limited to PS minis,PS1 games (both of which can be played on the PSV itself anyway) and Pixeljunk's PSN games. They should offer remote play with every game stored on/inserted in the PS4 to make that a real feature.

For me to consider buying it? needs to drop to below £80 to be honest

I think the only thing that can save Vita now is piracy.

yea, that will surely increase the trust publishers have in the Vita and make them develop more/bigger games for the system

Nintendo DS, PS1, PS2, and Wii are the easiest to pirate systems and the most successful ones.

The dreamcast was the easiest to pirate and they didnt last 3 years.
