I'm buying a PS4, because I have a VITA.

 

I'm sure I will be using the PS4 on the big screen intermittently during the day or night (depending) so having that mobile screen would free me up to work on other crap while I have a session on the side of the table to distract me from what I should be doing (multitasking+procrastination ftw!).

 

What about anyone else here? I've noticed a lot less VITA talk lately and kind of want to bring that subject up again . . . especially since this years VITA press showing was "meh" at best (not counting excellent show floor stuff).

So now the Vita will be known as a streaming device. Good luck with that Sony. No one is gonna pay 250 dollars to stream their hd high def game on a tiny screen. Didn't work with wii u. Won't work for PS4.

The former is native supported (that means chip resources and OS already have it baked onto PS4). But we (the users) might have to reconfig some controller settings. Now we know how PC gamers fell when gaming on the gamepads. ^^

Who says that isn't coming? But you don't really want 960x544 on a tablet screen. My guess is tablet/phone support will come and it will be 480p (sometime in 2014). Not sure why you'd want that though. VITA has everything you want and it could play games offstream.

I want one for Persona 4, but I don't want to spend that much money. I'll wait until they're like $200 with the 32GB memory card included and packed with a free game, might take a couple years, but I can wait.

Maybe If they start selling Vita dirt cheap, because it seems to be becoming a Ps4 peripheral now.

Cows are pissed that Sony lied to them and said there would be awesome games at E3. There were none and there was no price drop either. Fail.

Yes, I'll eventually get one to stream PS4 games. I'm not really interested in Vita games but I can't pass up the opportunity to stream PS4 games on the move.

I have a tablet too, so that would be cool with me. For Gaki, they plan on supporting all devices, not sure about streaming PS4 games tho.

I was surprised Sony didn't give it a price drop. Why? I still don't understand. They must be take a huge loss on each one sold. Sony is dying so they gonna save pennies everywhere they can.

It's kinda true. How come Sony can't spend the money just to get one awesome Vita game that not a port, rehash, or a game made by tier 4 developers.

Shahid said more big third party stuff was coming (he named one big title in development but not coming for a long while). Seriously though, I don't quite get why people hate indies. They're getting s*** done on the VITA (more than publishers!). And KZ:M is the biggest sign that first parties will keep on bringing goodness to VITA.

Cows keep forgetting or choose to ignore it but Sony still exploits their fans by charging 100 dollars for a 32gb card. Really? I thought Sony was for the gamers. Why are they actively trying to rip them off.

How about because PSP was the most hackable system ever and they needed to give devs/publishers security or face getting the 3rd degree. Stop acting so damn foolish already!

What is that damn piece of plastic that cost 100 bucks? Nothing is there. Its just a money grab by Sony to rip off their fans. And only the most ardent Sony fan would purchase one.
