If you don't own a vita now but are a PS+ member and you remember to download the vita content every month so it gets added to your download list you can go out, buy this bundle and have a heap of great content waiting for you to add to your Vita.

 

 

I really hope Sony can find a way to improve Vita sales. At this point PS4/Vita bundles seem to be the only option (price drops have been ruled out)

A cool bundle for those that don't have a Vita like me. But, I thought the Vita's library was lacking? Is there anything worth playing on it? (And don't say remote play with the PS4)

 

Chicken and the egg.  There are some games worth playing, with a few more coming out (Tearaway from Media Molecule comes to mind), but get some Vita's out in gamers' hands, and more devs will make games.  

In addition to remote play, there's also a few games that essentially bundle the PS3 (or PS4) game with a Vita version as well.  MLB: The Show comes to mind.

This needs a big giant rumour posted on it as quoting some "anonymous source" is hardly FACT.

 

If this is true, the day one purchasers are getting screwed badly.

 

That being said I'd be much more willing to buy this bundle than the PS4 by itself.

Still not sold. There's simply no games I'm interested in on the Vita that I either couldn't play somewhere else, buy cheaper elsewhere or play a "full" version rather than a portable spin off.

 

I've been downloading all the Vita games on PS+, so I guess if it ever drops in price to something I think is acceptable I'll be set up with something to play.

I'm only considering buying one to play Persona 4 Golden which isn't available on any other system.

You took the words right out of my mouth..

This bundle, would definitely be a game changer

Got my interest.  Hope that it is true.  I'd go for that.  I've been eying the Vita since it was released.

 

I've been gravitating towards the PS4 as my most likely next-gen console.  If the PS4 had backwards compatibility with PS3 games, then it would be a sure thing since I currently don't have a PS3 and would like to play some of the exclusive titles.

 

The XBox 360 has been great so far, don't get me wrong.  I'm mostly annoyed at the fact that Kinect for the XBox One is bundled.  I have Kinect for the 360 and it rarely gets used by anyone these days.  Its mostly an eye-sore on the entertainment center.  We had it on top of our TV but hated the "Johnny 5" look.  Now it is lower and it keeps picking up the dog tail wags as us waving at it or it "hears" it self saying "Pause" or "Stop" while we are trying to watch something (I know, we need to recalibrate).  Overall, I'd say I'm really disappointed in Microsoft's decision to bundle One with Kinect because I had already consciously dismissed the notion of getting it...  Definitely not paying extra for a peripheral that I do not want.

I think this is why there are rumors MS will include a AAA game with the XBone. I'm not really interested in the Vita, but it's a good deal. Let the battle begin ... hardball.

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
