The immense flaws of the PSP Vita..

People seem to like to trump up its lacking library as one of the main reasons why its failing.. Yet seem to completely avoid another key thing..

Lets take look at the3ds, it released with a $250 price tag and even than it was widely seen as bad until the price drop.. Even for the people who paid the $250 they got a dozen free games.. Even then you were able to play games right out of its package..

Now we have the PS vita which is of course more powerful but with one of the worse business policies I have ever seen.. For that $250 it doesn't even ship with a memory chip, so you can not actually use the majority of its functions let alone play games more or less until you get a memory card.. To add more injury to insult Sony in their greed decided to create their own unique memory chip which has effectively allowed them to over price their chips.. When a SD card is signifcantly cheaper than the Vita specific chip! So if your wanting to download any large amount of games on the chip we are looking at spending upwards to $50 or more! When a Sd chip half that price can store as much as the the PS vita chips..

This is absolute FAIL based upon console that is largely based around direct download services.. Than we have the inexcusable lack of features that should have released that existed on the older PSP's such as being able to play PSone classics at release..

In the end of the day I don't understand why no one has brought up this huge flaw, that one really isn't paying $250.. One really is paying any where between $270 or if you wanta chip with a decent size anywhere upwards to $320.. All for a system that at this time not only has a lacking library but more specifically doesn't have features that the old PSP has had for years, such as play PSone classics..

It's got the best launch library of any system release. I think it's biggest flaw is that, no matter how much jelly it causes in those who don't have it...there's always room for more. :cool:

Well the system just came out so give it time for games to come out, it really has some nice looking and fun games on it right now, it does need more upcoming games though because talking about myself after beating Uncharted, i just cant seem to find anything else to play.. i have escape plan but that game got boring on me very fast.

there is Gravity Rush and Resistance in the upcoming months

I actually would love to get one but I just can't justify spending that kind of cost when it can't even play PSone games at this time or rips people off by forcing users to use overpriced Sony SD card.

no worse than microsoft making a regular hdd properitary lol.

I bought PSvita at the limited edition bundle launch. Feb 15th Which included a 4GB memory card. I agree that Sony should have at least included at Memory card with every PSvita. Even better Sony should have just made PSvita compatible with Memory Stick duo/Memory stick pro duo/Memory stick micro.

As much as I enjoy PSvita I bought 7 retail games thus far. The only downloadable game I have is the Free Motorstorm RC. So my tiny 4GB PSvita memory card has 638 used up out of 4GB.

Even I must say Sony messed up with the PSvita memory cards.

vita should of came with built in internal memory plus option for memory card like a cell phone.

Reaching much? I got my Vita for 249.99 including a 4gb memory card which is fine for all my saves since I buy physical copies only. Amazon was giving away FREE 4gb cards up until launch btw wtih a purchase of a Vita. 3DS needs a memory card, 360 needs a HDD etc etc, you act like this is something new and its not. Just deal with it and stop being so mad that you cant afford a Vita.

Also the lack of PSONE classics is completely understandable. Do I wish it came with it on launch? Of course, but it wasnt ready (which Sony admits, and they are working on to release ASAP), just like how the Nintendo store and netflix etc wasnt availbile on 3DS or half the features that you find on XBL or PSN right now. Did you think the smarter business decision was to DELAY a handheld because the PS ONE classics werent reaady? Are you serious? LOL.

The 250$ is already the price drop. They're selling the Vita at a loss... it's a hell of a lot more advance than the 3DS. Like someone said above... it just needs some killer apps........ if the Vita had android and was able to play phone games... it would sell better.. but the main problem right now is that there's not reason to get it. They haven't done anything to make it worth getting.

If anything the 3DS at 250$ was too expensive for that machine :s

That's nice for the people who preordered from Amazon, but the vast majority of Vita buyers around the world are most likely going to have to buy themselves a card.

3DS needs a memory card, 360 needs a HDD etc etc, you act like this is something new and its not.SRTtoZ

The 3DS came with a memory card, and even the default 360 has a small internal harddrive, so your examples don't really work.

Besides, both of those systems can use any cheap SD card/HD that money can buy. The Vita can only use Sony's, and theirs is overpriced (and most likely won't drop in price).

It needs more games that aren't multiplats of console games.

The 3DS suffered through this initially but it's started to get it's own original stuff. The price is still going to hurt Sony, no one is going to buy that thing for $249

i bothered me for like 2 seconds. Its a great system just need more great games.

They have their own memory cards for security reasons due to patches and games being installed to the card but the Vita was cracked open anyway "I think".

Wish they just shipped it with installed memory or at least a free card to start people off.

i'm enjoying it right now and with persona 4 golden, gravity rush coming out soon its only getting better

The vita cost more money to make, they make less money on the system than nintendo does how can that be a bad business practice.p4s2p0

If the only flaw is cost, that's something that is easily rectified. Plus it hasn't doomed the 360 when you have to pay for an XBL subscription to use a good portion of the apps + online play. All in all, it'll manage. The two things it needs to really start gaining traction are some quality exclusive games and a $50 price cut. Give it 12 to 24 months and it'll be performing just fine (for its standards, still haven't seen anybody touch Nintendo when it comes to the handheld market).
