Hell no; not until a few hardware revisions and the price of the memory cards go down (or they come up with adapters that allow me to use cheaper ones). And maybe not even then, considering they're giving everybody not in Japan the middle finger when it comes to backwards compatibility with UMDs.
Pretty much this, definitely going to wait for the price to drop, possibly a software revision.Quote:

Well after hackers are done with it and they come up with a few games that I'm actually interested in I might waste a whole 80 bucks on it but until then. No, its not worth it.
The same here... I like sony products, but VITA is too much for me.. I bought PSP in 2009 so ill buy an VITA in maybe 4 years after...Quote:

Edit: I guess it does. I don't think I really want one; but that is a good selling point.
I really wanted to get this one on day one, but I'm low on cash. I'm gonna wait until either a bunch of quality games are released for it, or it gets hacked. But man, I wish I could afford it right now, DO WANT!
There's a lot of games that seem a little neat or interesting (Ragnarok Odyssey and Gravity Rush) but I haven't seen real, full fledged reviews by anyone I trust that convince me I'd actually play them for more than an hour. That said, I have high hopes.Quote:

no psvita is compatible with psp umd'sQuote:

i'm getting one as soon as Gravity Rush is released :3 can't wait.
Over in Japan, they have a program in place where you can basically send your old UMDs to Sony, and they'll give you a discount on re-purchasing the title via digital distribution. They have publicly stated that they won't be doing that in North America.Quote:

1. You download a software from PSN that allows you to register your UMD
2. In the menu of the app "UMD Registration", you insert the UMD you want to register into the PSP
3. Then you pay about X yen to allow the transfer it's simple as that
I've still got plenty of games to play on my DS Lite and PSP 3000, so it'll be a long time before I buy a Vita. Who needs the latest tech when there's so many good, cheaper alternatives?
Or you can just hack it and transfer your UMD dumps.
Ah. I never really bothered looking up the logistics of it, since I don't own, or plan on ever owning, a PSP or PSV. That was just the original plan I remember from when the PSP-Go came out and they were talking about a similar endeavour. :shrug: The principles of the process are the same, though.Quote:

That's one of the reason's why i got the vita on day 1 is for the low firmware. i really wanna get Street Fighter X Tekken when that comes out
i hope currency here will be a bit shorten
i heard PSV cost USD249
while here in its cost let says Rp 4.400.000
yeah it has the same value but hell i wonder why it must have to be that long...
Got mine last saturday because the store I ordered from sent them out early by mistake, however they didn't send the memory card or games so all I can do right now is play Welcome Park or whatever. :wacko: :fdance:
i got mine just today, what i dont like is if you make a mistake on startup (like your birthday) you cant change it once its all set up. anyone think its worth it to sell my psp and the games it took me so long to get for it and redownload them on the vita?
No, because that's both crazy and stupid.
But hey, what do I know; I'm just a crazy old gamer that likes physical copies of games.
Yeah, totally crazy :wacko:.Quote:

Well at least Sony is helping get rid of gaming stores all together. Digital gaming will eventually kill off hard copies all together and we won't have gamestop or ebay to buy used copies of new games.Quote:

you missed the point of everything I was saying. Eventually hard copies won't exist and there won't be a need for a games section to ebay and there will be no gamestop. etc etc etc. Music has been slowly working on that too.Quote:

Looking at the price range in us dollar, it is probably worth around 750 in my country. That is a lot of money to spend for something like that.
So right now, I'm probably just sit and wait for another more years to come when PS Vita will worth way lesser than that today.
I'll Probably buy one eventually. I'll hold out until a game is too irresistible for me not to buy it.
being fairly new to the psp scene... only having picked up one for dirt cheap a year ago, i dont feel ive given that justice just yet... though a vita is tempting, im thinking ill also wait til something tickles my fancy before shelling out (hopefully less than the current price!)
well thats make it worth to be played isnt?Quote:

Something you'll pay 350 dollars for and get bored with in a week.Quote:

So... Has anyone purchased a vita yet I got mine on the 22nd with ninja gaiden sigma plus and i gotta say, now i remember why i never finished the game XD, the screen is beautiful its quite light and the analog sticks feel prety good (can't wait to play monster hunter in this one XD) but the UI imho is crap :/ . What do you (who bought it) think about the console?
I put my purchase off by several months; I want to have something to play when I get it :P.
I agree everything on the ps vita is really amazing i gotta say. it compared to psp with that flat analog stick and little bit of flaw on the dpad when i tried to play street fighter alpha 3 max...still was cool then :D.. im stuck with little deviants till tommarrow. i might get wipeout seems cool i would of got it with ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 but i had it already have it on xbox 360. im gonna have to say ps vita tops 3ds by far in my book :DQuote:
