The PS Vita is only weeks, well.. one month away, and the launch titles are starting to line up. Here’s some info in case you haven’t been following super closely.
The 3G models will be activated directly through the device, no contract required. You can purchase data in buckets of either 200 MB at $15 a piece, or 2 gig at $25 a piece.
Hopefully the dismal sales numbers in Japan don’t reflect the quality of the device, I won’t lie by denouncing my reservations about a $350.00 gadget with the potential to turn paperweight. There is hope, however, that the titles releasing day one will sustain the purchase, it does after all have 11 games launching the same day as the “early access” bundle. ($350.00 to acquire the system a week before the rest with Little Deviants and a 4 gig Sony SD inside.)
With the bundle you’ll also have the option to purchase
- Lumines Electric Symphony
- Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcon 3
- Uncharted Golden Abyss
- Hot Shots Golf World Invitational
- Wipeout 20148
- Reality Fighters
- ModNation Racers
- BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extended Edition
- Virtua Tennis 4 World Tour SD
- Gravity Rush
The only question I find myself asking is which titles are going to be simply “launch” titles and which will be quality. If I had to judge based on gut instinct and marketing alone, I’d say Uncharted, Lumines, and Little Deviants are going to be must plays. Ultimate MVC3 is going to be a fan favorite, but not added to my library, and Wipeout will also be a hot or cold scenario, many will love, and others simply won’t care.
What are your thoughts folks? Will you be adopting early or waiting to see what the market holds? Comment below.
