Twinfinite writes, "Video game retail overlord GameStop is advertising a limited edition PlayStation Vita Slim Bundle featuring Borderlands 2."

Um, what is this? There already is a vita slim borderlands 2 bundle...someone not doing their research?

[Anon1974]

I was a bit confused by this as well. Aren't all Vita's the slim version now? I thought they were.

[azricf]

The BL2 bundles are yes. So IDK wtf this dude been smokin.

[nope111]

It's sold out in most places in NA. This is just a restock.

[Th3o]

Exactly. I actually bought one because I wanted Borderlands and the new Vita a is a bit more comfortable to hold especially for shooters compared to the old...too bad the screen is noticeably less vibrant:(

I am now saving my OLED model for games that I want to enjoy with awesome saturated and vibrant colors:)

Also the new Vita gives me a total of 2 extra hours when compared to my Vita...it's honestly better than the first hour...but my old Vita is a 3G red model from japan that might be the reason...although 3G and bluetooth are disabled on it:S

meh, Borderlands 2 was played to death already, I would rather buy Freedom Wars bundle

[TheLastGuardian]

Sell the Borderlands 2 voucher and buy Freedom Wars when it comes out. I would try and get the OLED Vita if I was you.

Well, there's 2 possible outcomes as to why this is a news story and why it was approved:

1) If you look at the title, it now reads "Borderlands 2 Limited Edition Vita Bundle". Maybe it's Sony's way of rebranding the bundle by putting Limited Edition in there and re-launching it?

2) The writer of the article has been stoned and living under a rock since May 6th, 2014, when the Borderlands 2 Vita Slim Bundle was released in North America, and has now just found out about it since Gamestop has put it back on the site to pre-order and he just found out about it today :D

Who knows now-a-days....But this is in fact old news and nothing has changed about this bundle from when it first launched back in May.

What in the hell is going on here ?

[WeAreLegion]

From the article: "What’s a little strange about this is that the bundle itself has been available for some time now."

The author is fully aware that the bundle has been out for awhile. Read, people.

[Foraoise]

Then he should've changed the title. It's wrong and misleading. I have no idea how this even got approved in the first place.

[WeAreLegion]

But these are pre-orders coming soon. It's available starting tomorrow. The title is correct.

How come you can't buy a standalone Slim Vita?

[Th3o]

Why would u want to? They would most likely be 200$ anyways without the card and game...

This is a limited edition bundle.

It would be nice to see slims go for 169.99$ without any accessories but I don't know much they would lose compared to selling it for 200$ and adding a digital copy of a game and memory card.

[nevin1]

That was I was getting at. A standalone slim version for $149-$169.

No offense to BL2, but this was a questionable idea. I mean a port of a 2012 PS3/360 game that most probably played?

[Th3o]

@nevin1

Yes it's a port but most people see it as a AAA title that has sold millions of copies.

People probably see it and say "HEY I can play this on the go!"

I mean if they put a game like let's say, Persona 4 (don't knock me, this is my favorite game of all time but it's a good example), I doubt we'd see so many sales of the console...mostly because it targets very specific gamers like myself.

Now you can say, hey how about killzone? yes that could also work, but A) Killzone most likely will be part of PS+ very soon B) It still doesn't have the audience that Borderlands 2 has. I mean Killzone Shadowfall was a commercial flop comparing to Killzone 3, at least as far as I know.

To be fair Killzone mercs was 10xs better than Shadow fall.

Either way I expect Sony to stick to 200$ bundles to save some cash, I can prob see a walking dead Season 2 bundle in the near future.
