Perfect timing! I can buy this and give it to myself as a really nice early birthday present. I'm glad that we don't have to wait too much longer for this.

At least I know when I can go crazy buying games for the Japanese Vita I'm importing.

Plain old gamer :)

Ah, I'll be recovered from X-mas by then for sure, so that means more games for me at launch!

Heh, I've been meaning to pick up a PSP for a while now. I think I'll make my purchase on that date, just to see if I can't cause any intentional confusion with the employees. At the very least, it'll be something out of the realm of the expected for them.

It's not that I'm not interested in the Vita, but I'd like to wait for it to get a few more exclusives that interest me.

Seems like a bad time to launch. Hopefully sony learned from nintendo's mistakes.

Yeah pretty much. But, there's a lot of hype for the Vita at the $249 price point, so I think they'll be just fine, just like the 3DS. Also, it's looking like 25+ titles will be lined up for launch for the Vita, so I think that will help it out too.

That's for later though, back to Bit Trip Saga on 3DS!

I find this to be a perfect time. Most people get their taxes back at that time of year so selling Vitas wont be a problem at all for Sony.

Just for you.

But the Hype is only from gamers who expected it too come out at a $500 dollar price point. The average Consumer will be buying ipods (most likely the lower end models),and the 3DS.

For the Size of the device the $250 price point is a big barrier. Its's not as portable as an ipod and the apps aren't as robust and don't fit the screen orietation. Its also not as cheap as the 3DS which you could get two games for and comes with memory.

Also for those who want a media center would be pissed that it doesn't come with on board storage and the fact that it uses propriety form of usage. (its not compatible with even the memory stick from the PSP or Sony DSLR's)

WAT!

I think I wait a while before I consider getting one. If I do pick one up it would be my first non-Nintendo Handheld. The reason I am go to is because I need to see more games that interest me.

The New 3DS XL is amazing, soon the NX will be upon us!

Your right Iz, it's on a Wednesday smack in the middle of the week. They can't be planing any massive events because a lot of people who are going to buy must have some sort of life.

I've already got 50 odd games for it. I just have my fingers crossed that it suppors multiple accounts.

What?

Have a look at when Apple products launch. Weekdays. And as we all know they're rather big events, those launches.

Great! I can almost see this monster resting comfortably in my giant hands. I just set aside enough of my spare money for this and some games. Will likely get this when I see a Bundle.

But on a Wednesday? I can understand Friday and maybe Thursday but a Wednesday?

Kids are in school on Wednesday. Makes it easier, even if slightly to get since they'll be in school until the afternoon :3

Anyhow, makes for a perfect late Valentines gift.

But will wait for a slim model and for things to iron out

Meh, I don't really care. Sony doesn't make the kind of games I like. If you're a fan of platformers, Xbox and PS definitely are not catering to you.

Super meat boy is frustratingly hard to the point of not being fun, scott pilgrim is fun for about three levels before it gets repetitive, and I haven't heard of the rest. I have a PSP known as "The thing that plays LBP" on my entertainment center gathering dust. And possibly moss. If the Vita brings it with the good, quirky platformer games that I want to play in the future, I'll buy one, but for now I'm just not interested.
