So i've heard a lot of people giving reasons for not wanting one, high price for memory cards and being able to buy a 3DS and a few games for the same price etc.Some people say they were going to get it but then decided not to because of this.

What i really want to know is, did you ever actually look into any launch deals? The system wont just be getting sold for $250US on its own everywhere.
There will be bundles and deals etc yet no one seems to acknowlage this, which really just says to me that the person in question was never really interested enough to even look for a deal.

Sometimes goods aren't well priced in stores thats why you gotta shop around and look for a deal, stores create bundles and throw in extras to try and get you to buy from them above all others. If you are generally interested i would suggest you actually try hunting for a deal first.

No I haven't looked into it yet. I plan on getting one later down its lifespan, and definitely not anywhere close to launch.

I wouldn't buy one at launch (I'm not buying one at all, personally) anyway.

There's also an alleged 10% failure rate at the moment, so I'd even wait for a hardware revision which could take up to a year, but generally it's better to wait and buy something when all the creases have been ironed out anyway.

And when the library has increased two or threefold.

Never ever ever rely on SW rhetoric for an estimation or even a guaged microcosm of the workings of everyday life.

Will the vita be successful?, no one knows

Will it be cheaper down the line ? Aabsolutely

Is the system worh the price tag? Thats for every individual to decide (some poeple use the veil of not being interested to cover the fact that they cant afford it)

These are tough times, gaming is a expensive pass time, a luxury item like the vita isnt a priority for most (until COD comes out for it)

Yes I looked for a good deal, I even pre-ordered a 16GB memory stick when Amazon messed up their prices... but then they corrected it and my hype died, I got a 3DS now I will wait for much better deals and games before I get a Vita.

I might just get a Vita later, but right now, none of the games screams for a purchase

They have no deals for me. Only one size memory card I will settle on and that is the 32GB memory card. And I am not willing to buy a Vita until that card is $70 or less and the Vita is $200 or less.

Not looked at deals yet but I will pick one up. If you could make phone calls on one with a sim inside I would pick one up day 1 and scrap my phone lol. Its a shame they didnt go that route, but I can see why.

The best deal I've seen is $300 WiFi Vita with Uncharted, Little Deviants and 4GB from BestBuy Canada. Since I want none of those except the Vita, it's not really a great deal. 32GB Memory card for under $300 total or bust.

Vita, 4GB Card, Wipeout 2048 for £259, and with pre-order i got the pre-order pack giving me headphones and a £5 discount on PSN and a few other things... I'm adequate with that i guess.

Well I was going to just buy a Vita and then buy a Memory Card then Uncharted when it comes out but seeing as Soul Calibur V comes out next week I may have to put it off.

We get the pre-order pack here too. $8 discount and headphones, the store im getting my vita from is also giving away free starter kit's with the screen protector/case/game case etc. and doing some discounts on memory cards at launch.

yeah people should look into them. before, best buy was actually bundeling uncharted for free with every preorder of the vita 3g bundle. Target is already giving a 20 buck gift card to every person that preorders a vita but heck, you really on a budget go to taco bell at the end of the month and try winning a vita lol The major thing repelling people from vita is the memory cards. I dont think people realize also that the 20 dollar memory card will perfectly hold all game saves and even one game and a game demo or two. For an extra ten bucks, the card doubles in memory and should be good enough to hold some future dlc perhaps Vita is pretty affordable so long as you give a try to save up for it. Its got the same starting price as not only 3ds but also psp, i think people forget that. By getting it at target the 4 gig memory card is basically free. Just give it a shot people

Didn't someone post a thread here about Amazon discounting the price by $20 soon? I don't if that's actually true, but if it is, I'll go for that.

I am going to get it after a few years, a design revision, a price drop, and all the jrpg's finnally get released stateside. Until then I don't care about it.
