PSP2 news is expected to be announced today, times are in the link.
What are your thoughts on the PSP2?

Beta said: I think $70 for games is reasonable, at the most.



yeah. but quality of the games and the length and depth of them will be very close to consoles so similar pricing could be justified.

but $70 for the big titles sounds good
Uncharted for $70 is reasonable.
$70 still sounds like a lot for a game. Unless it's something I absolutely desire and MUST have then I don't go over $30 spending for games.

In other news, tomorrow is the big début for the Vita.

Even for consoles, or just handheld games?
if you want games for under 30 bucks you have to import about a year after release or longer.

for the big games $50 imports will most likely be on the cards with $70 in shops and maybe more on the PSN store as digital distribution is still being charged high at the moment

I think just handhelds, consoles it seems fairer since the disk would be bigger than any cartridge for a portable console thus would be easier to bring great graphics and so forth.

I mean look at a DS game its capped at 512MB I think, a PSP game would probably be around 1.5GB max and a PS2 game is I think 4GB? probably more. So I can understand paying $70 for something that is a great game without as much limitations as a handheld but to pay the same for a handheld game just feels like being overcharged because i'm living in australia.
Well hopefully they are capped at $60. I think we'll see $50-$60 games.

Hopefully. Launch will probably be $78-$88.
Hey sorry, so when is this coming out again? and how much, is it confirmed

Yea I hope but I think i'll have better luck importing.

I think its out for us on February 23 but you can import one from JP since i'll be out tomorrow I think.
prices are $348 for wifi and $448 for 3G+wifi. available for pre-order at eb, jb and game

EDIT

as far as game prices. Game has ridge racer listed as $50 but no other games have prices yet. eb has most games listed as $78. WHAT A RIP!
RR for free at GAME if you pre-order with $50 deposit.
And dont u get a game free if u stay with vodafone too? Wipeout i think i read?

yeah best preorder deal thus far. they all offer the sony bonus pack with the headphones and DLC stuff. JB has cheapest price on console but the free game outweighs it

Yeah, but no game is worth committing to a shitty extra contract when you can just tether from your smart phone...

Even on consoles.

I see good value in games as getting roughly $1 per hour of gameplay. My collectors edition of Persona 3 Portable was a sweet $30 and I've played it for well over 60 hours. To me this is fantastic value. You can't find this sort of value in an $80 single player shooter that might only last eight hours. It would have to be exceedingly good to warrant the high price.

I do bulk shopping for games on Steam during the sales periods. I might get about 20 games for not even $50 and if I can collectively get 50 hours of play out of them then it was a good investment.

High prices of console games might make you think that $70 for a title is average but as a student with a car to run and myself to feed every week this sort of price margin stretches the amount that I am willing to whop on the counter for a bit of entertainment that may not even last that long or be that enjoyable.

I may look into this.

I see a terrible sales figure being released for the 3G model for this exact reason.
My local EB have Vita pre-order posters everywhere now. I like the idea of the 3G but to be honest I'm not sure if I would even use it. Most places I go where I could play the unit I would have WiFi access anyway,

Before the battery goes flat :P

$70 is too much. Lets say a 5hr sp game.

Ok matey :)
The games will be of ps3 length.

uncharted's trophy list is the same as the ps3 versions

Side by side comparison of PSP games on PSP and on the Vita. I'd say they look slightly more vibrant on the Vita.
That LED screen is so nice. Looks like it doesn't get the motion blur either. Funny that he includes the little Miku in the video.
Is anyone aware of which japan release games have english as an option? So far it looks like just uncharted. However from youtube videos ridge racer seems to be half english / half japanese. Asking because I'll be in Japan in 2 weeks and will be picking one up. Want a couple of games but uncharted should get me through until the aus release.

Any Western-developed game would.

Ridge Racer does not. That's certain.
