Decent launch titles were nice too, that doesn't happen all the time... I am looking at you 3DS... I wouldnt say I like it better than 3ds though... but I do like it better than psp.
My thought exactly. I've already had more fun with this thing than I did in 7 years of having a PSP. No, really.
and FFIV (which I bought digitally on the PSN Store) on the Vita for hours.
I did this and have been on it more than the vita games! Partly because I'm being gentle with the system, and getting voilent with Ninja Gaiden is too distressing when the vita is so new. Great going back to FFIV, love the new music and the ability to switch it back in the menu. Sat on that world map switching for a few mins
Then wait, and/or sell/trade something, and/or get a job mowing lawns or whatever.
Yeah.. no, I'd advise NOT trading/selling your PSP (if you have one) for the Vita. Since you can't play your previous PSP games on it, you're screwed or have to rebuy them - never a good compromise.
Likewise, I've always regretted trading or selling something to cover the cost of a new game or other item, which I why I make it my policy to never, ever do such a thing ever again. Plus, since all my consoles and games work, I never have to worry about not having something to play when there's nothing interesting out. ...which is most of the time for me.
I guess you could always wait. That's probably advisable anyways. Then you can find out from people who bought it at the start whether it's worth the money. And honestly, if you spend all your money on the Vita, how will you buy any games on it anyways? You'll just end up with a big hunk of plastic to look at while you fantasize about the games you COULD be playing on it.

Yeah, I wouldn't trade in just your PSP either... I'd trade in your PSP and PSP games. That's what I did because I had no need for any of them anymore.

Sure hope you never, ever want to replay any of those games then. Unless you decide to emulator or want to fork over more money, you're gonna be out of luck.
But then, I suppose too many gamers these days are just "beat it and trade it" and never keep most of their games to replay at later dates.. it's sad.
EDIT: I suppose my feelings on the subject are due in large part to the fact that I don't see the value in trading them in. Nothing I'd even consider trading in would be worth anything, and I resent the fact that they turn around and sell them for $10-20 or more.. often will throw out the case and manual I took care of, too.
I traded in Mass Effect 2 for near full price three months after beating it(taking advantage of a GameStop trade-in promo and a Mass Effect 2 trade-in value that wasn't updated to get $53 in credit for it). I then paid $5 for it on Steam later. Overall, I'd say things worked out.
I suppose with something like Mass Effect being on both console and PC, that's a more understandable logic. Trading it in and getting almost all of your money back and then getting it for tuppence on Steam was a really good move.
Most of the stuff I'd have to trade in is not available on PC, however, unless I can find a way to emulate it, though.
Seibert, this is not the place for that. If you are looking for people to help you make a game, why not try a dev forum? Google around, there are lots of them. But this is not really a place to ask for help MAKING games, especially in an unrelated thread.

Nah, I'll be okay. The only PSP games I could even qualify as good were LittleBigPlanet PSP and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. Ghost of Sparta I have in HD on PS3 and I have both the original LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2.
I never usually trade games in, but these I had absolutely no use for.
Oh gods, I still don't know how the Xbox ended up being capable of damaging the discs cause it got bumped or moves slightly, or that they never thought this would be a problem. We've had disc-based consoles for around 10 years by the time it came out, too.
My PS1 used to sit on top of my PS2 (now I have a PS2 slim it's the other way around), and the one on top used to move fairly often while running cause I have cats. Never harmed the disc.
Seeing as the Vita's launch has been a literalcomedy of errors up untilthispoint, I'll wait until there's a significant price drop.
Since I can't think of anything other than the Facebook app being a bit buggy and having to be taken down, and maybe some issues with the pricing of accessories and memory cards, care to fill me in on what people are saying is so disastrous?

Facebook app was taken down? What was so buggy about it?

Oh, so that explains why the Facebook app won't even load...
I deleted the facebook app right away.. it wouldn't sign out... I do not need my kids being able to read all my messages.. some of those are not age appropriate lol

In addition to the extreme overpricing,there was the Taco Bell promo that caused a fiasco(though it wasn't Sony's fault, it did detract from the launch IMO), laughable overseas sales, the AT&T scalping for the First Edition bundle (not to mention the already stupidly expensive data plans)... Seriously? take your pick.

But the price gouging in other areas is just downright unattractive.
I guess you'll just have to make a cardboard cutout and make believe! XD
they dont have one
Thats a shame. Guess we go with plan B.
Get a camera, follow your parents around, and photo them in compromising positions.
Hey. Its not legal, but blackmail can be pretty effective!
Then go to the pet store, buy a bunch of rats, . . . .

Sigh. No rats AND a legal route? What else is there?
Oh THAT route. The smart one :rolleyes:

Just a shame certain PSP games, like Crisis Core and Birth by Sleep, aren't available on the PSN to buy.
(Except for Fable 3. That game actually made me HATE it!!)

They don't have a house?! ...Oh, I see.
i meant they dont have a rat problem

Aren't those lovely? I had mine destroy the disc inside of it because it needed to be moved an inch.
