Just throwing it out that the majority of vita owners have agreed that black ops is one of the worst games ever, they really dropped the bomb trying to rush it out.

Another Sony victory. They'll be giving these away in boxes of Cap'n Crunch in six months.

I keep getting the urge to pick up one of these but it is sad that, even at this price, I still can't convince myself to go for it. I honestly can't think of one must have game for this system (and it would take much more than one to make me spend the money on a system).

I dunno, the vita isn't all bad. I picked it up to travel with MLB the Show. If I did not have the vita, I probably wouldn't get through a full season. Not as good as the PS3 version but definately good enough to knock out a few games in the schedule.

I may bite on the PS3/Vita combo deals for this seasons version of the game.

these dont allow homebrew/emulators do they? Thats one thing I love about the orginal psp

Nope. You mean the one thing that killed off the original PSP?

I love how everyone rags on the Vita as dead after just over a year of sales. Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the best mobile game I've ever played, period. Gravity Rush, WipEout 2048, LBP Vita, Mutant Blobs Attack, all these excellent mobile titles but sure, it's a dead console.

Gravity Rush and Persona 4 Golden are the two best games I have played in the past year for any console.

Actually it kinda does. There is a way to run them using the Uno game I believe. I hope they never fully find a way to hack these though because that's what killed the psp.

I disagree, it was the price, initial lack of quality games, expensive Sony memory sticks, and the terrible UMD format that killed the PSP. The only thing they fixed with the Vita was the game format. Sony's stubborn like that. You could fit a hundred games on an SD card and play them on the DS and it's basically the most successful game system of all time.

Don't get me wrong, I have a Vita and love it, but Sony doesn't seem to learn from their mistakes very often. Here's hoping they finally wised up with the PS4, because they really screwed themselves over on the PSP, PS3, and now Vita. It's almost like they don't want to succeed.

I feel the issue with the cards is that once you make a cheap card for a hackable system (ie generic Memory Sticks and the PSP), more and more people start to get their hands on it to try hacking it. Sony could have easily priced the cards lower but wanted to try as hard as they could to keep the Vita out of pirates' hands. They made it a high-end console but it's not selling like one, and that hurt them. But don't expect them to ever come out with cheaper cards.

They really screwed themselves over on the PS3? How? Yeah, it started too expensive and cut out OtherOS, but.. where else? It's been the highest-selling console the past two years, outsold 360 worldwide for four years, and leads the 360 in install base in every demographic except North America. I don't really see how that's a failure.
