Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has announced the arrival of PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) demo pods at retailers throughout the UK. All six hundred branches of GAME and gameStation stores nationwide now house a playable PS Vita console.
Why didn't the PS Vita get more love again?
Not sure if the Nomad and Express should be on this list. Meaning that while they were portable, they didn't have their own games and instead relied on the same games the console hardware used. Neo Geo pocket, Lynx, Vita... those are dedicated handhelds with their own software library.
If criteria is simply to just allow for handheld gaming then the supaboy should be on there as well.
The Nomad should have never been made, that big cartridge on the back. Sega was throwing out money. I thought the Lynx was solid. I never knew about the Turbo express though
DS: Hacking a PS Vita has never been so easy.
Why is this news if sony doesnt want it get out of the way and let modders make games for it. There are people still making games for sega dreamcast and genesis if you abandon something dont be a ahole when someone else tries to support it. Thats like some deadbeat dad coming back after 20 years and yelling at the man that raised him thats my son leave him alone lol.
I've avoided CFW because I am afraid of being banned and also was unsure how trophies would work with syncing, and then Sony constantly patches these.
Sony removed the ability to transfer games from PS3 to Vita, which unfortunately locks Vita players out of a lot of PS1 classics.
Sony really hates the Vita. Years later and they're still finding ways to snub owners of the device.
It seems like this was included in the most recent PS3 and Vita fw updates. So as long as i dont upgrade my systems... it should still work.
Good.
You have literally 20 days before this thing comes out in America...
And yet, nobody even knows it exists.
What the FRICK is your marketing department doing?!?
i want to see an advert that introduces the phrase: 'where's my Vita!'. it would start with a father coming home and searching the room. he'd then shout out, 'where's my Vita' and it would cut to his wife hiding in the bathroom playing a game. you could have several adverts using the same family.
'Where's my Vita!'
remember i said it first!!! :)
I spoke to my local Gamestation's manager who confirmed this last week.
I see pods for the 3DS everywhere in stores but none for the Vita. So I just asked the guy... Where are the Vita Pods!!?? This is good news. A lot of people think that the Vita is just another version of the PSP, rather than a whole new console. This gives them an opportunity to try it for themselves. I got a shot of one in store before they were on display! I cannot wait for this thing!
