I have an iphone and love it, but serisouly, i don’t need to read about Apple in every article I look at. This should be about the Vita and the demand for it, not comparing the demand to a phone.

Either way I am in no hurry to pay $250 for upgraded touch screen PSP.

In fact, giving free stuff away is also considered a form of payment because people are being bought for their attendance.

Calm down.

Its not that swiping bullshit like in Infinitely blade there’s a joystick that’s very responsive but using a gyroscope does take a little time to get use too. Only thing missing is the game titles.

Until it has actual gaming controls, and not touchscreen buttons, it’s still just a smartphone.

With games out like MC3 , Street fighter 4 volt (both with online gaming), and grand theft auto. iOS is easily becoming a gaming platform. Its just does’t have all the major title that the Vita has because of Playstation..yet.

2 – I never said that wasn’t possible, just it’s highly unlikely they would do that for no reason.

Now of it was like the other guy said, and they got something like free games for a year, that would make sense. And if it is just for the fun of it, then they need to get a life lol

I’d like to see documentation of your guarantee please.

It’s a perfect time for Sony’s marketing team to do something like this, with mixed first reviews and low demand. If they get people to stand outside for hours or days, it could show people in Europe that it’s something worth the hype. It’s even more believable when the first report of it is done by Somy themselves. Samsung and Apple never reported that kind of thing, news agencies and tech blogs did.

I’m just saying, from the consumers view, why would you wait days in line for a product you know will not sell out?

it’s like comparing a computer and a phone

I think it’s more for the fun of hanging out with one’s jobless friends for a few days. Maybe Gamestop will see their hardcoreness and hire one of them. American dream.

My guess is they were paid by Sony to do this, or they’re completely idiotic. As dumb as waiting for days outside for an Apple product is, it at least has a reason, because of immense demand. I guarantee there will be plenty of Vitas for you Europeans lol
