Re: This Sony Boss Thinks People See the Vita as Gaming's Equivalent of the iPod

@Sutorcen It is the most advanced portable gaming device but far from the best. Sony left the Vita out to die and they expect their most hardcore fans to keep buying an overpriced machine with overpriced accessories. If they wante to make more sales mak a fully backwards compatible Vita and make the proprietary (money gouging) memory cards dirt cheap. I have not upgraded from th psp because of that.

Re: How Much Do Gran Turismo 6's Microtransactions Cost?

@LDXD Yeah, and the saddest part about it is that developers and publishers support these money grubbing practices and people are just eating it up. It is really disappointing when things like this happen.

It makes me think that they, and Microsoft, went with super powerful hardware to get followers, only to hide all of their good games' features behind pay walls later down in this generation. All I'll ever want from this generation from either of these two systems is Kingdom Hearts 3 and, if by some miracle, it comes to the Wii U, then I won't have to worry about paying for internet exclusive content at least. I would have still been supporting Sony along with Nintendo had PS Plus not been mandatory this generation. I mean, people can say what they want about Nintendo Network lacking features, but I don't care, because it is free. That also means that if/when Nintendo charges for online, be it next generation or beyond, I will then quit following any of the big three, as there would be no value left in the video game industry.

@LDXD I thought I was the only one who felt this way about microtransactions. It's a $60 game, this should not be accepted.

I think that after $60 for a game and $50/yr dollars just to play online, microtransactions should be stricken from the game model. That's just greed, and it should not be accepted. Also, their is no possible way to handle microtransactions correctly with a $60 game and $50/yr for online play.

Re: Plenty More on the Horizon for PS4, System to Avoid Drought

@banacheck I know they have the HD collections on the PS3, I just won't be getting them because I already own all of the other KH games, and am waiting for KH3 to come out before I get another home console. I would even be sold on a Vita if it got a a KH spin-off. KH, MH, Pokemon, and LoZ are the series I follow. I am shooting for 3DS, Vita, Wii U, and PS4 this gen, however, if KH3 comes to Wii U, I might hold off on PS4 for some other games.

Re: Sony to Improve PlayStation Vita Sales with Hardware Initiatives

If they want to make sale all they have to do is do a 3ds style price drop OR make the proprietary memory cards a lot cheaper. Oh yeah, and put some good games on there. even if you can't get good new games, take a hint from Nintendo and port some of your most revered titles from older consoles like what Nintendo did with Ocarina of Time.
