Vita games on PSN will be cheaper than retail ( up to 40% less? )

Guess im going PSN only with the Vita, its now confirmed that Vita games on PSN will be cheaper than the retail version which could go to 40% less on PSN than retail ( Japan already has that, games on PSN cost them 40% less which im guessing why retail verison of the games dont chart because their being bought off PSN?) . Sony did not confirm how much cheaper they will exactly be but will be announced soon. BestBuy is suggesting could be 10% or more cheaper on PSN.

bye bye retail and hello PSN downloads, this is confirmed for USA/Canada and UK

thoguhts? Vita is now almost 22 days left

Known about this for a while, I will be buying most of my games from the PSN.

Damage control for Vita software sales flopping? :lol:

Nobody buys retail games online compared to retail.

Well let's hope so - some of the prices for third party titles on PSN are a joke.Ravensmash

Here's hoping they also include PS+ members discounts too, i have saved a lot last year thanks to Ps+ so hoepfully they'll have some Vita deals alongside the PS3 deal with Plus. im just glad their giving Far Cry 2 for free this month :D. always wanted to get that game

As others mentioned they range and differ from one another, but if you have a PS3 i dont think there is anything to worry about as you can awlays back up your games to your PS3 and move back and forth anytime.

I intend to go digital with or without a discount. Just seems more fitting for a portable game system, I think.

A discount would be nice, though I doubt they'll do more than the 10% shown by Best Buy - of course, I'd love to be wrong.

If this is true it would be nice. I'm not really into handheld gaming but the features of this system are very appealing. Access to PSN , touch screen, dual analog sticks, near PS3 quality visuals. I'm honestly thinking about purchasing one. I'll wait to see what games are out at launch, then make my choice

so everytime they feel like playing it they have to redownload it? what if you want to try a few games...

i still think they will make bank on memory cards..

[QUOTE="zarshack"]There is always the option to delete the game after you finish it and just DL it again later if you ever want to play it again.

...so everyone will be buying the most expensive cards? why do you think they are reducing price by 40%? so you dont feel as butthurt with the memory card.

a 32GB Sd card is 30 bucks for 3ds.

which makes it a bummer that they dont sell retail titles on the nintendo E store.

zarshack

they said they will when nintendo network launches...

Cool, but what about the over priced memory cards? And how long is batter life on the thing? The Vita has some great tech in it and it can play PS3 games (assuming you know how :wink: :wink: ) so mabey Skyrim on Vita! I'd buy it for sure!

I don't think it's doomed like idiots think, give it some time and it will be fine.

Sounds like a good deal to get a discount getting titles via downloadable service. The only crap I can't get passed is the memory card pricing. I do want to play Uncharted GA , Gravity Rush and what was it, Escape Plan? I'll just wait and see.

wont be doing this much thats too much space im going to need to buy but hey whatever helps them sale

so i connect my vita to a PC and transfer the game? how long does that take? 1min...i suppose thats pretty fast...

idk..

Hmmm interesting depends how much cheaper they are, need to see if buying the physical copies or PSN and get a huge memory card is cheaper. This saves me from having to switch back and forth between games...but as a nerdy gamer having a physical copy of a game..holding it and putting the Games case on your self is just so much more *Satisfying* then just having it digitally.

You'll be filling up your mem sticks really fast... Sony will be making crap ton of $$ with there over priced sticks.Truth_Hurts_U

I heard that here in the U.S., digital games on the Vita PS Store will be 10% as opposed to Japan's 40%. Not much, but hey, both countries have different currencies with different values. Anyways, I'll will be buying my games from retail to save space on my memory card, but if the game goes a little cheaper and I'm too lazy to go out to get it, then I'll buy it online.

40% off of digital downloads. but they charge for memory which you will need to put all those digital downloads on. who do you think you are fooling sony? i see what you did there.helwa1988

Lol yep. this guy get'ts it. Still it's not so bad. I do prefer to have an acutal physcial copy though.

Thats because no retailer wants to carry vita games because no one will own a Vita LOL

I doubt the 40% will carry over to Australia..most like will get ripped off as always.

Sony is trying to sell more overprised memory cards :lol:
