Look guys. I know our Vita sucks balls, but at least with this, you can play these sucky games at home, and pretend you have the latest next gen console.

[Anarky]

Vita doesn't suck balls, I love the system.

[Lox]

Seriously. The Vita games are awesome. It just sucks that the thing is too expensive for most people and that there aren't enough games on it.

[Eric]

And now it's a $100 Vita basically, I mean there's value there right?

Especially if you're a PS Plus member and you're already getting PSP/PS Vita games but don't own the damn things.

[Julius Seeker]

Allow SD cards and I'll buy one. I am assuming they will run PSP and PSN virtual console games?

I think Sony is still using their own cards, this comes with an 8GB Card. It also runs all PSN games, and has a slot for physical Vita games.

[bovine]

It also plays PSP digital games, but as I'm not sure anyone has said yet - it doesn't play all Vita games. Some games are not supported because of the lack of touch screen junk on the PS3 controller (I think that's the reason given?)

[Zeus]

Does it play it through the PS4 or on its own?

[Eric]

On it's own, but you do need a Dual Shock 3 or 4 controller.
