Thats about $64 and $52 respectively. Not good at all. But doesn't Japan traditionally pay more for games?

iamtehpwn4592d ago

Yep. And not only that, But Square Enix traditionally charges more too in Japan for their titles. A brand new copy of FFXIII costed $100 and a new copy of Birth By sleep costed $70 at launch.

If i remeber correctly a brand new copy of FFXIII was higher than that

iamtehpwn4591d ago

Nope. It was $100. I bought a copy of it actually brand new from Japan at launch

I'm still pretty butt hurt about that until this day.

Canary4591d ago

lol, no, those are GREAT prices. PS3 games are closer to 8 or 9000 yen--roughly $100 to import.

If the past is anything to go buy, those games will be selling for $30 to $40 USD stateside--so, basically, THE STATUS QUO IS MAINTAINED.

Well, other aside from the whole "proprietary memory cards" and "no onboard memory" BS with the Vita.

Haters will twist this into all games will be 60 euros for the Vita.

Doom & Gloom For Handhelds?

Everywhere a person goes they see, “PlayStation Vita Is Dead.” Some variation seems to be touched upon all cross the web, and obviously it’s a headline that will certainly grab people, but is it actually true?

" I always find myself wishing they were on the PS3 instead."

Simple Solution:
Wired or Wireless Audio Video Out like on the PSP so we can enjoy Vita games on big or little screen.

Which is why its ridiculous for Sony not to include this functionality day one.

Come on Sony.

But then again its good to see PS Vita specific games like LBP Vita & Tearaway.

Gravity Rush 2 & Sonic the Hedgehog Vita can't come any sooner too! Ooh Yeeh!

Kanashimi4269d ago

I completely forgot to mention Gravity Rush. A sequel really seems necessary after the ending we were left with. There was so much unexplained.

I'd also like to see them make use of older games that might do better on the handheld. For example Folklore and Okami seem like two really ideal games for Vita, but such a prospect seems really slim. Oh well, a girl can hope.
