As we all knew already, PSP2 is officially Vita.

Lols, AT&T

I'm sure everybody will shit on the name, but Wii was horrible when it was first announced and everybody got over it after a couple of days. I don't mind the Vita name at all.

 

[Krynj]

I've never been big on handheld systems, but the Vita looks pretty slick. Wonder if they'll announce a price tonight.

 

[zerocool84]

Wow @ the Vita gfx. Pretty damn good.

They certainly pulled a Nintendo with that name. Remember back when the Wii was the "Revolution"?

I might actually have to pre-order a Vita. The PSP was always plagued by weak dev support. Thankfully, Sony seems to be focusing on software this time. Big plus.

As for the 3D, I'm definitely not sold on it as the future of television and gaming. I've tried it in the stores and while impressive to a degree, I can't see it changing my viewing experience. It's still just a gimmick IMO.

Joystiq already reporting $249 for WiFi, $299 for 3G? Is this a scoop or did I miss them announce this?

They must have gotten a scoop because I didn't hear a price.

 

[Krynj]

Wonder what kind of battery life this thing is going to have.

 

[R Nilla]

If true, $249 is pretty good for what that is, especially considering that's the current price of the 3DS. Pricey, but I didn't expect any less.

 

[Krynj]

Wow, saving to the cloud and then resuming on PS3. I would love to have the ability to play games on the go with Vita, and then load up my save on the big screen at home. That's just flat out awesome. I hope several titles take advantage of that.

What we've all wanted for so long.

Transfarring!

 

[Tristicus]

When will the conference be available online/PSN? Just got home, want to start from the beginning.

 

[Krynj]

There it is. $249 for Wi-Fi, $299 for 3G.

 

[Tristicus]

There it is. $249 for Wi-Fi, $399 for 3G.

$399 or $299?

 

[Krynj]

Derp. $299. Edited.

 

[Krynj]

Cole from inFamous will be in Street Fighter x Tekken.

 

[blurredvision]

I'm so getting one at $249. Good job Sony.

 

[Tristicus]

I'm so getting one at $249. Good job Sony.

I'm getting two. :awe:

 

[Krynj]

Available holiday season this year.

 

[Aikouka]

Will the $299 one use a SIM card? If so, that'd be rather nice since I already have AT&T service and I could probably just swap my SIM card out .

 

[gorcorps]

I'm getting two. :awe:

After never touching my PSP even after hacking it, I'll be shying away from this one.

 

[zerocool84]

Since I have a Nexus S Android phone I can pick up the $249 wifi version and just tether it to my phone.

 

[KaOTiK]

It was nice how they didn't waste our time showing off tons of multiplatform games and focused almost fully on exclusive stuff.

Also nice how that everything they showed off is playable on the floor too.
