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.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
