The PlayStation Vita is launching in Japan later this December and the first television commercial has been aired to promote the new handheld device.
The PlayStation Vita is due for launch December 17th in Japan. The television commercial is only 15 seconds long and does not show the actual PS Vita itself or any of its games. Not to mention it’s hard to understand the actual purpose of this hard to be honest with you.
If you have an idea what the advertisement is trying to say, please don’t hesitate to comment. The rest of the world will see the PS Vita launch on February 22nd, 2012.
Check out the video below:
The Japanese says: “The future of gaming will change”
The price for the PS Vita is outrageous. For starters the vita itself is 250/300 (wifi/wifi,3g) then im sure every person would like at least 1-4 games. So alone with that add a good 40-80$ THEN you have to buy a memory card, i assume people would go for the 4gb or 8gb. sadly, even the 4gb is more than 20$ AND lets not forget that AT&T may charge you monthly so add 20$ a month (for the 3G model). so add it all up you’ll be paying a good 320$ for the wifi model, and a good 480-it rise’s each month) for the 3g wifi model. It will not support flash and you have to but your UMD AGAIN but this time off the PSN network. Not trying to troll but thats a HELL of alot of money. I paid 300 for my xbox 360(s) thats a hell lot more powerful than the ps Vita which can’t even support flash. At this rate sony is going to end up with nintendo in the hole. This is why i pick Microsoft, and again the price is just so outrageous.
This commercial is HORRIBLE!!!!! I could have done ten times better. With such an amazing device, it’s only normal to expect a spectacular commercial. I just hope they didn’t air this, it wouldn’t give the PS VITA the great first impression it deserves!
@Daned: Last time I checked Xbox live wasn’t free… Seriously I bought my xbox for 300 € + a HDD drive of 100€ + xbox live 60 € a year + games… You get the point? You make it as expensive if you want it to be… Nobody’s saying you’ve got to buy 3G version isn’t it? And 250 for this kind of technology is really inexpensive! Look at the iPhone: less hardware almost three times as expensive (were I live).
@daned true it will cost alot but if anything it has a ton of stuff thats never been done with gaming and that act so high and mighty about microsoft cuz u have to pay like 60$ per year and ik that psn isnt as good as xbox live but its just fine and it doesnt really need to get updated the only thing i like about the xbox is that u can listen to music while u play(only thing that xboxs has)
lol my bad i4 got to say how much i cant wait for this! ik its gonna cost alot but ill get it over time and it has UNCHARTED,KILLZONE,LITTLEBIGPLANET,ASSASSINS CREED,ECT so many big name games the only thing that bugs me is the price for the memory cards and games it should be creep for the cards and maybe 30 for games not 50
@daned
Reallly? Ya, my Ps2 is expensive. If i add six games, buy the $200 shining and cleaning, Buy 4 cameras, 9 controllers. PS2 sucks, it is too expensive. And it will fail. Why would i pay that much? Ill just buy an original Xbox with one game, much more affordable. (sarcasm)
