I just want to point out, saying 'Class ten' for memory cards means absolutely nothing. a 10mb/s memory card (Which is what most of those super cheap SD cards are.) would be absolutely atrocious for a PSV game. Even PSP games take forever to load on such low end cards. SD cards can reach up to 96+mb/s read/write speeds (And a 16gb 95mb/s card is 160$.)
So, until you know the speed of the PSV cards, you can't even make a reasonable assumption of the price parity compared to a normal SD card. (Even something like a 30mb/s SD card costs about 40$+ for a 8gb card.)
There should be enough internal memory for game saving in the system itself, or it should come with a small card free of charge.
How anyone can defend a game system coming out in 2011/2012 without the ability to fucking save your game data out of the box with no added cost to the consumer I will never understand. It was stupid when the 360 and PSP did it years ago and it's even stupider now.
Lots of consoles have required memory cards in the past and not shipped with one inbox.
I played and 100%d Sonic Adventure when I first got my Dreamcast without turning off the console for three days until the shops opened after Christmas and I could go buy a card.

The difference is that this is the first flash memory/cartridge based system to require a memory card. (That I know of)
Typically when your games come on this kind of media you can save directly to the media the game comes on.

This brings up the idea that maybe it's higher read/write speed, but even choco wasn't sure.
I figure any day now the inevitable story will break on how someone has figured out what the write speed is, and that they're not this super fast memory that justifies the cost.

Oh I know. I wasn't defending Sony on this.
I was just taking the opportunity to remind people how great the Dreamcast was. It's my constitutional obligation.

I could understand that, but Sony's lack of confirmation in this regard makes it easier to just say it's Sony being Sony. MiniDisc, Atrac, BluRay, Memory Cards, etc. Latest in a long line.

Indeed.
And someone yesterday was going on about higher security or whatever, but y'know... that security is for Sony, not the consumer. But the consumer is the one paying for it. So those cards better have a really high read/write speed.
Oil and water do not mix, and that’s a fact. How about video games and beer? All that is missing from this merry party to make it an awesome threesome would be some pizza, and at least Capcom has got the formula down pat by opening up a bar. Yes sir, this is not a video games bar, but rather, one that requires bouncers at the door to check the IDs of those lining up to get in simply because it will be serving alcoholic beverages that will certainly dull and dampen the reflexes of gamers. I wonder whether the opening would be a cosplay theme, where you will see folks dressed up as Megamans and Street Fighter characters among others. This bar will open up in Tokyo’s bustling Shinjuku area, and the whole idea of it is to be a meeting point for cultural and public relations for the video games company. Unimaginatively named Capcom Bar, it will open its doors next January 25th in Shinjuku’s Pasela Resort. I wonder if the menu will have creatively named drinks, like Hadouken or Akuma’s Revenge.
And yes such urinals exist in Japan, though they're usually odd looking people.

Sorta off-thread topic, but anybody have any experience buying "refurbished" products from overstock.com?
I'm thinking about picking up the Halo Reach headset to match my console but it's increasingly difficult to find online, and overstock.com has it for around $30, though its refurbished.
Looks like the Microsoft store has it for its MSRP of $50 so I may get it from there just to be safe but I was looking for a second opinion on the matter before I pulled the trigger.

the dark side also makes you like, disintegrate slowly so, if you get hurt you likely won't heal well on your own. hence all the robot parts (plus they look cool too). there are some dark jedi that are basically walking corpses.

Yeah, and now it's years later.
It should not be acceptable anymore.
That applies to so many things about the Dreamcast; including but not limited to, cross-platform multiplayer, keyboard & mouse support and in-the-box internet browser support.

I hope it flops. Please to be working on video games.
Why do a majority of Sith Lords need some kind of respirator device?
In this case, one of the game cinematics show why he needs one. Dude took a grenade to the face.
That... is a good reason. Jeeze...
Sith need better training on defense, This guy's takin grenades to the face, Vader got char-broiled, and I don't remember why, but Malak was missing his whole jaw...
I guess all the cool force powers come at a high price :P
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

It's Capcom, chances are in four months it'll be gone.

One's included in the box, right? I mean, the USB cable for sale there is just extra...right?

BAHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Where can I score the awesome drugs that Sony is on?
I just paid $100 for a 250GB Xbox HD
You'd really, really hope so. Then again they haven't exactly been shy about throwing in added costs so far.
Cheapest one I just saw on Amazon was $27
I checked Best Buy to try to get the average consumer price, and there's 15 offered for below $50 and 15 for between $50 and $99.
So yeah. But keep in mind, these cards will be seven percent slower and smell bad and not have the magic pixie dust Sony puts in theirs, etc. etc.
But... I mean... It's $250 for a portable console!
Pffft!
There's no reason.
Dollar dollar bills y'all. It's silly Sony shit.
Doesn't mean I won't be there day one, like I was for the 3DS.

And people get conniptions over that! The hell, Sony?
I understand completely why they had to do it (to reach the $250 price tag), but it doesn't mean I think it's a good idea.

Yeah, and the fact that the game won't even boot without memory inserted means Scarab's situation couldn't happen here.

Or does TOR actually have cutscenes?
Cause that's pretty awesome if true. On both accounts.
I wonder where the line is drawn where robot hands are ok, but a portable iron lung is the devil's tech.
Depends on the colour of the metal.
Shiny gold, bright silver? That's fine. Build whatever you want.
Dark grey/black? Oooh dear.
