Im guessing you can use any network sort of like notebooks with built in 3G.

If i do get a 3G model ill just get that 2gig data pack from cell c

price of the wifi version looks great. will most likely pick up the 3G version though , i rate the 3DS will need a serious price drop if they want to keep up:)

looks like i'll have bb on nearly every console in my house as well

Uncharted looks amazing, definitely a buy for me!
Vita I will be buying day one!

I'm glad someone else actually thinks so.

This may be a lame question but if you get a 3G version, who's network do you use? Vodacom, mtn...? Also does that mean a package plan?

Depends really... in the USA the 3g version is being provided by at&t. You should be able to get one off a package plan I am sure.

Im just worried about what it will do to our pricing here but yeah probably import.

Launch line up is great, want to try get little deviants and wipe out, uncharted can wait for a-bit lol

Not sure if i want the 3G model or not with how expensive 3G is also not sure it's worth it

i'm worried about little deviants because its just a collection of around 30 mini games as opposed to a single game. There could be potential. The whole cross platform multiplayer in Wipeout could be worth the pick up.

You may be right about 3G. OI suppose I've lived with a wifi PSP that a wifi PSV would be fine... and I guess it is Japan

btw: Rockstar have confirmed they are working on PSV titles. Hoping for GTA San Andreas Stories!

I dont mind if it's 30 minigames in one.

Actually id prefer that, games like Uncharted/Blaz Blue i dont see myself playing anywhere other than home or something very often.

Where as wipeout and little deviants look to be great time killers when waiting around lol.

Regards to the Wifi 3G thing, the more i think about it the more the 3G is a nice too have, i doubt the PSV will have any form of contacting people or social networking built in that i dont already have.

And wifi connections are popping up all over the place here aswell

Here is littledeviants:


and sound shapes (i think you'll like this):

Both of them looks awesome, sound shape especially!

Really hope the software line up for this machine keeps coming in, honestly i wasnt excited for it but seeing some of the software in action really makes me want one hahaha

Other thing i find surprising from the videos is how naturally people are using the back touch pad, i was skeptical about that but seems to be working quite well

The list does seem to be getting better. You seen the Gravity Daze thread? Team Siren could have a good title on their hands with that one.

But Sound Shape looks fun: levels make music, and it is through this music that you need to get through the level due to the natural pattern music encompasses. Pretty clever

Never liked Team Siren or silent hill games, the style of Gravity Daze isnt appealing too me at the moment either but wont write it off, just not a title im that interested in.

But yeah Sound Shapes looks great, community tools on that will be good aswell probably like little big planet make a level share it and people get it.

My musical ability is next too nothing and it looks easy enough too make a decent beat in it though

Oh? Well maybe Gravity Daze will at least be a starting point to branch out of the horror games they try to make.

Ken Levine on Bioshock Vita:

It is neither the original Bioshock nor Infinite but a completely brand new title built specifically for the PSV.


Silent HIll
According to IGN, Konami have confirmed that Silent Hill: Book of Memories for Vita will be the first in the series to have some form of multiplayer.

Not a big horror Genre fan, im more interested too see Square and Bandai's first offerings on it lol.

Show me the jrpgs!!!!

So does anyone know when this is gonna be out? Cos as we all know we get screwed here in SA with insane prices compared to overseas and I'll be in the UK in July so that could prove a great opportunity for me...

End 2011 at least for Japan

Though im sure they said global release end 2011.

PSV sells at a loss

Meh.

Wii U will inspire Vita experiments

Seems like in addition to save transfers and cross platform multiplayer play, Vita devs actually have other connectivity between the PSV and PS3 in the works.

And Sony has acknowledged that they are aware of people asking about the potential for the PSV to work like the Wii U controller.

Memory Cards for the PSV look to be SDHC cards:



you will notice the figures, from left to right, 4gb, 8gb, 16gb and 32gb. SDHC cards go from 4 to 32gb.

Not region locked

But this was expected.

I like what i'm hearing about vita. News just gets better and better.

Well they say "To the best of their knowledge". So they could change their minds at a later stage... However I dont understand the point of a handheld that is region locked, because the chief advantage is that you can use it anywhere, including other countries. So whats the point in not being able to play the games in other countries...

I doubt it would change. Both PSP and PS3 are region free for games. Its a good feature.

True about the portability factor: not too sure why the 3DS is region-locked tbqh
