    The PS4 launch date is back handed swipe at Microsoft, as the XBOX Classic launched on November 15th.

    That's the biggest stretch since Armstrong.

    Meh, drop the Vita price to half of that and I'll consider...especially since a decent-sized memory card for it will be like half of the newly-discounted price...

    They are discounting the Memory cards "Significantly"

    "The 32GB and 16 GB memory cards both will get $20 reductions—dropping to $79.99 for the 32GB and $39.99 for the 16GB. The 8GB will drop to $19.99 ($10 off) and the 4GB card is $14.99 ($5 off.)"

    LOL. Not exactly significant.

    Memory card prices are really hurting the Vita, and I say that as someone who already has a 32gb, which isn't enough anyway.

    Apparently starting tomorrow, if you sign up for a year of PSN+ you get 90 days free. Not sure if that's EU only or not, but good for me since I was going to finally get PSN+ anyway.

    Yeah, I agree. that's one hell of a stretch...considering the console release time line.

    GC: 18 Nov
    Wii: 19 Nov
    Wii U: 18 Nov
    Xbox: 15 Nov
    Xbox 360: 22 Nov
    PS3: 17 Nov

    Yeah, I'm sure they chose the 15th just to spite Xbox....o_o

    I've no idea what's being showed and I'm too bored to bother. What do they call their PCs now, PlayBone and One Station?

    Too Early in the PS4 life cycle give it 6 months to a year.

    By then it'll be too late in the Vita death cycle.

    Vita really needs some support and cheaper memory cards. But if Sony really makes a good Killzone Mercenary bundle, i'll probably buy it. Love Killzone Multiplayer.

    The Vita is selling like shit and its memory cards are ridiculously overpriced. I don't see how stating those facts is "shitting" on it.
