Just bought the vita at lunch with 32gb MLB The Show, MGS 2/3. Holy shyt this machine is a dream machine. The OLED screen makes these games look great and they play very well.

My only complaint is it needs some kind of grips or handles for a nice firm grip.

im copping the nerf grip after work

The Passage of Time
So Madden Vita news looks pretty good as we all know the screen shots don't hold a candle to the game on the OLED screen.


Madden 13 on the Vita is essentially Madden 12.5 due to limited resources and new hardware. It is disingenuous for EA Sports to market it as "Madden NFL 13," and consumers who buy it, They didn't call FIFA, FIFA 12 because it was based on FIFA 11 so they just called it FIFA Soccer.

According to the author of the piece, Samit Sarkar.

Among those major improvements to Madden, only the brand-new commentary made it into Madden 13 on Vita.

I played the Vita game this week, and to be clear, it appears to be shaping up nicely. Most of the touch controls, such as the ability to tap on a receiver and draw hot routes with a finger, are smart and welcome additions. The game includes full Franchise and Superstar modes, and will receive weekly roster updates and Madden Moments Live content throughout the 2012-13 NFL season. Of course, the graphics aren't quite up to par with Madden 12 on PS3, but they're still impressive on the Vita's five-inch screen.

This sound scary because from what I understand the VITA is supposed to be easy to program for. The Vita game was outsourced to HB Studios, based out of Nova Scotia. Development began in Sept. 2011. Here's the scary quote, that makes me skeptical.

Dan Baker told me that it took until February of this year "just to get the code running," which is only the first step of the process. A long cycle of optimizing the code followed, but the Vita version wasn't ready for a press demo back in mid-April, when I visited EA Tiburon to play a pre-alpha version of Madden 13 on console. At the time, Baker said the early build was running at only 15 frames per second — about half of the desired frame rate. It still wasn't in a satisfactory state even by E3 earlier this month. Only this week, at an EA press event in New York, did the publisher exhibit the Vita game for the first time.

Newegg's having a promo for $10 off any pre-orders through tomorrow. You can place as many as you want for any system.

$10 bucks off a PS3/360 game isn't much, but a new Vita game for $30 isn't bad :ehh:

Code is EMCNDHA44

Gonna pre-order AC: Liberation, COD and LBP :yes:

Alright brehs my work is done, here i will post the details how I got the ps vita for free. Most of you witnessed my touchpad hustle so you know how I work. Took about 3 hours of "work" to complete. This was a calculated move by me, notice when I started the thread. I knew a couple of days beforehand that the b2g1 was about to go down. Combined it with the best buy offer and knew it could be done.

Took full advantage of the Gamestop b2g1 deal. Best buys system was not matching up the offer...so they just took $60 off the top. Earning me an extra $7

Investment
30 games = $667.60
PS Vita with 4gb card (had a $10 reward certificate AND Best Buy fukked up) - $211.98

Flipped the Games - $901.36

Total earned - $21.78 (would have been $14 if I had to trade the gift card to plastic jungle)

:win:

I was debating if I should get the 32 right there, but something tells me we will see a 64 gb and maybe even 128gb soon.

Nothing is opened. Buying my games later on. Maybe I can grab metal gear solid hd, rayman, and mlb the show for about $67. No rush though, the flip was the fun part for me

Finding one of these cheap on Craigslist convinced me to pull the trigger on getting it. some tattoo artist did a job and the guy gave him the Vita. dude sold it to me for $150 its a 3G version but its missing the SIM card. two minor scratches on the screen that you have to look hard to notice but well worth the discount i got.

already somebody else's PSN ID is on this thing and its literally making me format everything just to use it with mine. not too fond of that.

not sure if i'm doing it wrong but seems like to get all my PS1 games i bought on the PS3 i have to look through the full list to find them all. and i got 30 meg internet and its gonna take an hour to download Final Fantasy VII?

anybody know if its faster to download on a PS3?

i'd sell it. right now Gamestop will give you $140 towards it. i bet you could get close to $190 on craigslist.
