Anyone else buying a VITA because of PS4 (or vice versa?)

[QUOTE="wakefulness"][QUOTE="jimmypsn"]

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.

I just for shits and giggles last night added PS vita to my cart with all the stuff I would need and 2 games... $406 with out tax or shipping fee... Funk that shit.

Cost way to much to start out on vita.

Holy crap what did you do? I'm guessing you tried to buy all new? I guess It also depends where you live. I bought one at launch day with a 32GB memory card and seven games, so it was a lot, but now there are plenty of good used options. If really want a brand new vita rather than used, you can at least buy a nice used memory card and save a bit more cash. Also most games have had significant price drops, it just depends where you look.Ghost120x

I put a regular wifi PSV, PSV sony carry case, armor kit, Uncharted, Resistance and 32GB mem stick in my cart... That's what it came to.

The PS4 games only work when you are near the PS4 right? If so I really do not see the point of paying $300 to play on a smaller screen and with worse controls.CanYouDiglt

Nope.

already own VITA... can't wait for PS4

Vita is dead. Why would I buy it?

wakefulness

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).

Not buying a PS4, but I am buying a Vita.

That is pure stupidity.

Like I said before why would I buy one when its likely Sony will discontinue it soon. Its already dead.

What's the chance Sony develops another handheld after the Vita? hehehehee. lol

If I get Watchdogs on PS4 and want to go play it 'on the go' (read: at work) then I can definitely see the appeal. Thing is, I won't be able to afford one for a while with all of the saving up I have to do to get both next gen consoles. But yeah... thinking about it. donalbane

Yeah, I was pretty shocked that Remote Play over (other) wireless networks even worked on PSP and PS3 XD

Even so, yeah, WD should be comfy enough to play over the internet from PS4 but I would reccomend playing quick-twitch muscle games on your TV. Really, anything (distributed over a network) is bound to at least a few added milliseconds of lag. Just a heads up, bro! ^_^

Why do so many people here hate the VITA? Is it because you hate indies and ports? XD

Sony needs to leave the portable gaming marketBroomes70

No, but the PS4 has made me more interested in a VITA, but.................................... not buying one anytime soonNengo_Flow

I have a Vita, best part about it is being able to play my PSP games, PS1 games, LBP vita and watch youtube/netflix all on one device.

However, PS4 needs that one killer app for me to get it. There's a bunch of cool games but nothing I would live without yet.

PS3 is hooked to the monitor. So maybe I'll get a PS4 eventually to play blu-ray on my TV.

The Vita looks great and all, but I really don't feel like buying one since:

1.the memory card prices

2. Sony seems to be treating the Vita more like a PS4 add-on than an individual system. I don't recall much being announced forn the Vita during E3 2013, but perhaps I'm just being very forgetful. I don't think I'd want to spend $250 just to be able to play PS4 games on a smaller screen, either.

Yeah, and my wireless network covers my entire 2 story house as well as patio and garage, it will be just fine if that's the case.Heil68

You're router sounds really good so, you should be ready to go on day one to stream from anywhere you're hanging around your house. 

Already own one so I could play Godsona 4 - The Golden.
