If PSV digital sales are as good as Sony say they are, then a cut on the memory cards would be a pretty smart move.
cant wait to see what these games are but I just hope that it is not Indies only being referenced here (since this exec is responsible for the indie surge for Sony). Not that I dont want indie games, but I want Sony to also bring out some mainstream stuff too.
E3 will be the perfect time to announce those price cuts. The Vita has been out long enough now that the people who bought one at launch won't feel ripped off that they bought one for 250-300$.
those memory cards. they literally bleed you. they really need to bring down the price of those things. i've got a 4 gb one and i have to keep deleting games to install another one.
one more thing that i hate about PSN and Vita is that they never properly mention the size each game takes. for PSP games it just shows the save file size for eg. 400Kb. i always have to search google to find out exact space the game requires.
and i still think the games are quite expensive. titles like Uncharted etc did retail at 50 dollars. that's expensive for such a small device.
I agree about the memory cards bleeding you. Even though I had the money to buy a 32 gig when I purchased my Vita, I still waited a little more than a month before buying one. I kept thinking to myself, I can buy a 32 gig memory card for $75 (amazon) or I can buy games.
I eventually got the memory card so I can download all my games to the Vita. I was especially pleased to have done so, seeing that most new Vita games I've purchases except COD have been discounted on PSN.
So in the long term the larger memory card certainly is worth it but deciding between games or accessories is never something you should make a consumer do IMO.
the fact that I can't spend too much time on my PS3 helps a bit too. here's hoping for more exciting NEW and exclusive Vita games this E3! ports will not do this system justice!
32gb is too small for the Vita. I hope they come out with bigger cards. I dont like switching cards either since it messes up my icons and background pictures for each slide.
^Yup, been downloading my games instead of buying those cartridges because it's such a hassle to change and store. Pretty sure I lost my UMvC3 cartridge because of my cat.
@himdeel but then all we will hear is how that new card iz too pricey......
@ other people.... dont you see with the time and effort on complaining over price... you could put a couple bucks away a day and you know..... save for one? has the practice of patient purchasing and saving taken a back seat to crying and pouting?
The price is a bit high but nothing like psp launch or what we paid for first gen MB cards. Do we have to hear it in EVERY DAMNED TOPIC HERE?
All I am trying to say is your whiney efforts could be put to another more constructive use?
Would be nice if they slash the prices of all the cards by AT LEAST half. Would be nice if they introduce a 64GB and I'd love a 128GB card.:) I know they're phasing out the 4GB cards.
He's probably hinting at Vita E3 coverage, since Sony didn't do much last year for the system. Rumor has it that Vita will get some decent showing at this year's E3, more so than PS3 at least.
I'll definately want to get a Vita. I'd definately appreciate new Vita games made for the Vita, but the ability to stream PS4 games to the Vita is already a good reason for me to get one. Can't wait to see how those systems will work for other uses.
when a fan asked him. any system sellers? he said oh yea!!! well now im extremely excited, i think we will see God of War, Gran Turismo games on the vita pretty soon.
Im expecting great vita coverage this year its been said by many staff members in sony for me personally I want a good deep price cut on memory cards I filled my 4gb and 32gb I have been holding on to get another 32gb after E3 hoping a price cut on those, aside from that ps+ doesnt help me conserve space. I hope the best for all consoles this upcoming E3, its a crucial one since its a big peek of next gen and the offerings we will expect.
Good. As of right now there aren't really any "System Sellers" in my own personal opinion. I loved the PSP, but I only bought it to play FF7CC and... Well I guess that was really the only game that truly appealed to me lol.
I love the Vita, from what I have read/watched online about it. I definitely intend to get on but not until it starts seeing some fresh IP's. Assassins Creed and BLOPS just not cutting it for me tbh.
This is great news though, maybe the ps4 will have a bundle that includes a psvita, however I don't see it happening at all, at least until damn near the end of this new generations console cycle.
So how about the PS4 games? we've heard nothing on the PS4 front on that. Sure we already know of millions shadowfall, infamous second sun and a bunch of others. But what will they do to counter the 15 games 'S will announce for the Xbox one.
Given the way that Sony has been so far leading into the next gen, I wouldn't doubt that they have some megaton announcements for E3. Sony has always been good at showing games at E3, even when they spend too much time on Wonderbook. I'm actually surprised that we haven't seen that many leaks on what they will be showing.
Hopefully that comes with a price cut, including memory cards. If Sony wants this to be the companion device for the ps4, then it needs it.

Better be a PS Vita E3 blowout
The more the merrier.
Dozens?? I like the sound of that. E3 is building up to be one of the best we have seen in years!! Can't wait!!
