I'd imagine a $549.99 price tag, which discounts the Vita from $199.99 to $149.99 - I don't see a world where Sony discounts the Vita a full $100.

Well, they haven't released the new v.2 Vita in North America yet. Maybe that's what they're aiming for this holiday. But you're probably right with the 550ish price point.

Speaking of which (maybe some of these will come to Canada!)

Rechargeable is the way to go.

And the Xbone battery on sale right now!

$550 or $575 makes more sense as they'll throw in a game or something instead. Man, seeing the WiiU for $250 for a WW bundle or the Mario bundle... Can't help but to wonder if I shouldn't just get both a WiiU and a PS4. Already have a 3DS...goddammit. Why can't they just make a super home/portable console bundle that just plays everything?!


That or me having silly amounts of disposable income.

[cDnStealth]

Where have you seen a Wii:U WW bundle for $250?

[Lego Man]

It looks like the PS4 Vita bundle just has the PS4, Vita + 4gb card, and one controller... after thinking about it... $550 makes the most sense. I'll be reserving one asap.

EDIT:

Somebody on Neogaf did a count:

i counted 76 voice commands of which 37 worked and the remaining 39 commands either registered incorrectly or failed to register at all.

this is a failure rate of 51.3%.

Well it will depend on noise levels to be sure. Other reviews I've seen have reported about a 90% success rate and even if needing to repeat a couple of times it still being quicker than using the controller. Bugs to be sure but when worked out it seems like it can be very powerful.

Or this for Mario

Damn you people! I never did end up buying a 3DS but considering those Wii:U bundles are essentially the same price as a 3DS I might have to go buy one.

BTW, you shouldn't go with the "normal" 3DS. Gotta go 3DS XL or bust!

Please, of course I was only considering the XL But considering that is $200 plus the cost of the game, I could get one of those Wii:U bundles. Super Mario 3D World looks amazing.

Like I said, super home/portable console bundle that plays everything.

I was going to go to the launch function but I'm thinking of grabbing a couple of games only tomorrow so no real need to line up tonight.

Funny thing though is that I'm not 100% on which games to get.

Some customs worker has a kid that wants one so you're screwed. Jk

[Russic]

As somebody who isn't picking up a system until fall 2014, I'm quite interested to find out what a ps4/Vita combo will cost next year. Early reviews on remote play seem surprisingly strong.

My kids are getting a 2DS for Christmas. Supposed to be a bit more durable (no hinge) so better for our young kids. If one of them doesn't start behaving soon I'll be getting a 2DS....

Both Future Shop and Best Buy websites say they have online stock but I can't get through to the checkout page - complete freeze up.

[Anduril]

Just because it's there.

Yeah, some people are reporting that they can get their order through but could be hit or miss. Seems like stock is available to be had.
