    Suppose Sony gets good at microsizing their Vitas and can make a PS Vita Go. Would you get one if it had 16 GB HD built into it? I imagine the cartridge slot would be gone too but is that important anymore? Nowdays everything seems to be released on digital, in fact some of the stuff is digital exclusive I think. Would you buy it if it still had 3.61 firmware?

    The Vita is as good as dead right now. Even if Sony were to attempt a Vita Go, it would probably cost more than consumers would be willing to pay.

    I wouldn't buy any form of Vita.

    The only reason I still have the fucking thing is because the prospect of selling birthday gifts makes me feel uncomfortable.

    In the grand scheme of things, even henkaku cannot save the Vita.

    What good is the ability to pirate games when there are no games to pirate?

    I think a low-priced Vita go could reboot interest. I'd buy it, they're already cheap enough as it is

    Worthless unless it also reboots Sony's interest in the system :b

    Just buy one of the current models, that way you at least have a chance of scoring a homebrew-enabled one.

    most games on the are weeaboo games which im not interested in.
    the few good titles aren't warrant for a purchase of the console.
    psp is alright but had the same fate be it had a few more high profile games.
    bottom line if you got rid of the physical media which would be the only reason i would get one.
    Then the vita go would be the worst decision ever.

    Would I buy a slimmer Vita with slide-action? Yes
    Would I buy it if it had SD card support? Yes, is this even a question


    I'm a sucker for the Slim and things that slide open. Compact designs are something that just make me drool.

    SD support? Keep dreaming. Sony enjoys their $2/GB for the custom memory cards way too much.

    Noone is going to buy a Vita for homebrew, they're going to buy a Vita for AAA handheld gaming experiences; of which there are none.

    Never know, Vita is already the perfect controller. It's not heavy and awkward to hold like a 3ds and if vita homebrew takes off like it did on psp then you could have the perfect system.

    I wouldn't buy a slimmer vita, I've got the launch model and it's way too thin as is. Can barely play anything for awhile before my hands start to cramp up.

    Meh. I have a slim, works just fine at 16GB. I will only buy another Vita if it came with an SD card slot. Till then, no buy.
