@bobjones1980 It's only been announced in Japan so far, but there's a good bet it'll be between $149-$179 in NA, saying as the bigger model has been dropped to $199 (anything less than $20 savings, even considering the 1gb of built in memory and longer battery life, might seem irrelevant)
The remote play functionality for Vita TV/PS4 is actually extremely awesome. If you have two TV's in the house and play games on both of them, it would eliminate the need to own two separate consoles and instead just hook the PS4 up to the primary one and the Vita TV to the secondary. I spend most of my time up at a military base where I use the 24" Playstation Monitor in my tiny barracks, but when I visit my folks, there's a nice big 3DTV in my old room and a pretty sweet projector in the basement home theatre. While I'd want the fast HDMI response time on the 3DTV, I think it would be cool stream games to the home theatre to play Watch Dogs (or another single player game that doesn't need to be as responsive as something like Killzone multiplayer) on an 8 foot screen, without having to lug the PS4 down and fiddle with the wiring (considering when I come home, I already will have to lug the PS4 from my barracks to the 'rents place).
My example is pretty subjective and specific, but I'm sure there are plenty of teenagers who don't have unlimited access to their parents' superior TV or married folks who have to let the wife watch Dancing with the Stars or the husband watch Homeland while the other wants to game. (I apologize if those sound like stereotypical gender-specific examples, I'm sure there are plenty of men out there who watch Dancing with the Stars)
Hey I know what might help! Release it on all platforms, just like the Call of Duty games!
...nothing more annoying than unnecessary third-party exclusives. First party exclusives are fine, but when a company like EA takes what amounts to being a massive bribe to put 50% of the players behind a $500 pay wall, that sucks.
@ooblah If you skipped MGS3: Subsistence, you skipped the best one in the series (Snake Eater's camera system got in the way of the gameplay, but Subsistence and the HD Collection/3DS versions are arguably perfect games)
Yeah but the difference in price when you compare the 1-2 free games per week for $50 a year vs buying all of those games individually as physical discs is to only significant, it's exponential - calling it a "waste" do to your personal distaste for soft copies of games is grossly inaccurate
