Still not worth it, they should charge zero dollars for this!1!

Wow.. the monthly ban-report thread is listed so close to this thread and you already apply for the next ban-report! Well thought out.....

>_>

Sarcasm, my boy, and parody too

One that got you very close to being moderated however.

As it really wasn't a good job at either...  Only reason you weren't is because your recognized as pro-playstation.

Argueably a bit of baiting too, but hey i'm probably the lenient mod and nobody else is currently around... so i'm going to leave you an informal warnign up there just for when other mods show up/it ineveitably gets reported a few more times.


The tough part about Parody is... it has to be good.  Otherwise your just saying something offensive you don't mean.

A $200 Vita is a good start. Now they just need to drop the price on the memory cards.


a $179 Vita during black friday didn't do amazing numbers. They need more must have games, that's their main problem. It has must have games for some users, but it's clear that it lacks must have games for the majority of the users, and the system sales show it.

Really?  I thought it did extremely well for a limited time special that sold out quickly, was only avaliable at one retailer, and with that retailer being online only.  It's not like it could have sold beyond Amazon's stock.

I just wish they would have a big blow-out sale on memory.

Eh, I'm not sure what I can or can't say here.  It's kind of annoying to be worrying about what I can discuss.

As far as I can remember the Saturday there were still white bundle units at sale on Amazon, and we have had less than 200€ MRSP in several countries of Europe during the entire Christmas campaign, and the sale numbers were lackluster.



after checking a dutch budget gaming site http://www.budgetgaming.nl/game-profile/PlayStation+Vita+Console+WiFi+08976+3G_PSVita.html

I went to the free record shop store around the corner and you can indeed get the 3g version for 150 euro while the wifi version is 175 euro.. it's pretty clear they are going to discontinue the 3g version



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)

I assume they got more in, or created more bundles.  I don't know, but I do know for a fact that they were sold out at more than one point.  I clicked the deal a couple of seconds after it went live and got an "out of stock" notification, though I put my name on the waiting list and got one that way.  Even if they had the deal on Saturday, or even the entire week, that's still a very limited offer that most people are never going to know about.

I can't speak for the European deal, though.  I was only replying to your comment about the $179 offer, which I still think did very well.

I knew they were going to have a price drop mid march, I just thought it would be the ps3.
Good show!



whoa, it comes with an 8gb card and a free psn game? What a deal! 199$ is too cheap though, I feel.

It's essentially those last minute bundles that they made at launch, but the bonus month for getting a month of 3G expired I think, just the game now.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Is this really used to judge a ban?  That is ridiculous. 

As away to detect sarcasm?  Yes.  The fact that he's pretty pro playstation made it very likely he was trying to be sarcastic.

If that was just random post by a random user he'd of been moderated.

Or at least for me it works that way.  Moderations are supposed to punish people for intentional bad behavior and trolling.

Somone screwing that up with a bad joke... is worth letting go in my opinion. (Assuming it isn't a constant anyway.)

I don't remember getting a game with mine, damnit, did I miss out on a free game?
