Bitching about Gamestop aside I'm actually considering this one. Trade in one of the following: PSP 3000, PSP 2000, PSP 1000, Nintendo DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL or 3DS hardware. Then trade in any 4 games worth at-least 8 dollars and gamestop will jump that up to 100 dollars. This will net you 170 dollars in credit toward a vita which will cost you 80+ tax. If I can get ahold of my brother for that PSP I gave him you bet your ass I'm doing this. |

Though I probably won't all things considered because the handhelds future is shaky at best.

No fucking way I would trade my PSP and four games for a Vita and no games, especially since it isn't fucking backwards compatible. I have, like, 40 games and quite a bit of anime on UMD. Plus there ain't shit coming out for the system. Wipeout looks sweet but the rest looks like a big fat meh. I will just wait for the system to tank and get one for fifty bucks like I did with Game Boy Micro. |

Can't you just admit for once anyone interested in a vita this is a fantastic deal? Especially if they have games and hardware they aren't playing anymore or replaced? Edited by ronaldmonster, Sunday Jan 29 2012, 04:33 PM.

Who shit in your oatmeal? All I said was that I wasn't going to do it. Do you need my fucking approval on your own purchases or something? |

Because you were saying that it's shit without acknowledging how good this can possibly be for someone who wants a Vita. |

if you just happened to want a Vita (not sure why) and just happened to have a PSP or DS with at least 4 games worth 8 dollars (total crapshoot based on GS trade in values) then it's alright. But I wouldn't do it. The first version of anything is always a public beta test with electronics. I'd wait it out and see how the market reacts to it and see what bugs people find with it. |

I still think it's a rip. Wouldn't it be more practical just to sell off the handhelds and games for straight-up cash on the usual places (eBay, craigslist, etc.), and then put that toward a Vita if you really want it? |

Depends on the trade. You'd be an absolute retard to do this trade on a 3DS. Look at it this way: they're giving you 170 dollars off the system, so your final price is 80+memory card(min. 20)+game(30-50)+tax. If you were selling a 3DS and four games, you could definitely sell it for more than 170 dollars. Probably more like 230, depending on the games. If you're trading in something like a PSP 1000 or a DS Lite it's a different story. |

If you really want the Vita then go for it, though I bet a price drop will likely come in a few months time, so who knows, you may be better off waiting if you don't desperately need it now. |

This was my original sentiment. Also, Dave makes a very good point: your four games need to have a minimum value of eight dollars each in trade. Not very many DS or PSP games will net you that in trade. And then there's the hidden costs associated with Vita. The minimum you're going to pay is an extra 50 dollars on top of the trade, the 80 dollars, and the sales tax. It doesn't come with a memory card, which is mandatory, and the cheapest games are 30 (but the biggest ones like Wipeout, Hot Shots, and Uncharted are 40-50). It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Vita is going to need a price drop very, very soon. The 3DS needed one and it was selling twice as well as Vita is now at the same 250 dollar price point. Then look at 3DS. For 200 you get the 3DS, Super Mario 3D Land, onboard storage, a 2 GB SD card, FaceRaiders, and AR Games. Or for 170 you get the same except without Mario. Vita is just a terrible value right now. |
