had a vita a launch but got rid of it not long after, because of lack of games and no ps1 suport. but with ps1 support added and a huge library of psp games is it worth getting this deal?

cheers for any help

Pretty good deal

Though I would have a look around for a possible bundle with a bigger memory stick, as 4GB will get used up generally very quickly

It's not bad. The devil is in the details though.

The pack only comes with a 4GB memory card. I have an 8GB one, I don't buy full games off PSN (only the small download-only ones), and it's already fairly full. If you buy the pack and use the CoD code, your card will already be full.

Still, a Vita is still around 200 pounds, so a console + FIFA + Most Wanted for 230 is a fairly good deal. You may be better off waiting until after Christmas though - gut feeling tells me Sony will drop the price heavily after the silly season.

I'm in the UK over Christmas so I'm curious to see what will be in Zavvi's and GAME.

yep cod is 2.4 and spiderman movies is 1.5. shame its a download code for Cod because i would of sold it. but think shopto have 8 gig on sale for £10 so might pick a couple of those up. i remember i have dynasty warriors next and a few others as digital copy's so i should pick this up, just so i don't waste the money i spent buying those items.

the only thing putting me off is the still poor sales and the lack of any rpgs.

yep also heard the rumors of a price drop after Christmas. anyone played NFS?
will be getting rid of fifa for disgaea 3 and something else if get enough for selling it


another question which would people rather have a vita or wii u?

I'd rather have a vita but I'm afraid it's going to be another Dreamcast. Competition with smart phones is fierce and Sony seems to be hurting as of late.

Vita, without a doubt

The Vita at the moment is by far the best handheld on the market

WiiU is basically nintendo "catching up" to this gen and continuing it's proud traditions (aka: selling overpriced and outdated hardware) without anything impressive or noteworthy

sales do seem pretty awful.

last week sales

vita 4.842
3ds 93.989

ok there for japan, but if the numbers are anything to go by it looks pretty grim for the vita

not bashing the vita, when i had one at launch thought it was the best handheld i ever played, but if the poor sales continue afraid it could fail

I can wholeheartedly recommend New Little King's Story, which is really difficult to define in terms of story. It's part RPG, part dungeon crawler, part city sim, part RTS, and it makes brilliant use of the touchscreen controls. It's one of the few games that works and wouldn't work on any other console without touchscreen and physical controls.

Disgaea 3 speaks for itself :)

I'm really enjoying Dungeon Hunter: Alliance at the moment as well. It's basically an unabashed Diablo clone by Gameloft, but it works very well on the Vita. My only gripe with it is that it is clearly designed for longer play periods on the PS3, and you can only save at the beginning of each region, whereby some regions take a good 15-20 minutes to fight through.

As for NFS:MW, I'm still on the fence about whether to buy the PC or Vita version. If the Vita version really is as faithful as they say, I may buy that and get the PC version cheap later on.

With the Wii U, I'm tempted, but I'm concerned that it's going to suffer the same fate as the Wii, being flooded with tacky, shitty shovelware games. Zombi U looks impressive, and Rayman Legends would be an instabuy for me, but there's nothing else that doesn't smack of inferior port with tacky, useless control pad screen add-ons.

In fact, I'm still concerned that this fate will end up befalling the Vita, flooding us with useless, inferior ports of PS2 and PS3 titles and tacked-on touchscreen controls.

A better deal is waiting for the fire sales after it dies in less than a year and getting it for 1/4th of that </troll>

For a serious answer, It seems like a good price if you want one. Though if you are going to mainly play PSP games, and have a PSP, I'd say hold off for now. I have a PSP that I put CFW on and ripped all my UMDs to memory stick. Having my most played games there made me just stick with the PSP.

Sony has said a price drop is coming next year. With sales being horrible, if they care about the system not dieing the price drop will come early in the year.
