I know it may worry some that they are starting to add some non-game type features, but I feel they have a strong launch lineup to back it up. Personally I'm a little on the fence about buying one right away. I feel a little sad that they are basically forcing us to buy the more expensive version. I mean it's a great deal considering that it comes with a $60 game and 24GB's more of storage. So it's like a no brainier to get the more costly one.I might wait it out until it comes out to see if there's any issues with it, and see what everyone thinks. Also it wouldn't hurt to wait until I get some Christmas money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Jeez that's a strong starting lineup. Wonder how well it'll start off. Personally the size is a little to unweildy for me. I'm still hoping that the vita will be kicking up its cross platforming games soon. Also if birth by sleep i'm sold on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolrawr Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well Reggie has said that the pre-orders so far have been strong.And Birth by Sleep, well that came out 2 years ago and it's only for the PSP. Unless you meant to say Dream Drop Distance which came out for the 3DS like a month and a half ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 No i meant birth by sleep. I already have it on the Psp. I'm just looking for a reason to upgrade. Would just about buy anyone of the new systems if it got the game on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
