I am tempted to get this, will check out a hands-on video and reviews before so however. When there are videos and reviews on it of course, might be a while yet.

MrKoopan said...

I don't like how it looks, but it is a tempting offer

Pio said...

Woah, weren't the handles supposed to be able to fold in when they first announced this? Not sure if I'm digging the design :/

Gregfaulker said...

These have been out for a while...

Killerzoverhere said...

Not buying.

Killerzoverhere said...

I hate the design too

Killerzoverhere said...

just 5 days

Killerzoverhere said...

not really

Killerzoverhere said...

reviews are already out.

froo said...

this wont fit my pocket anymore :(
 

EvilRyu said...

Sony..... why .....WHY don't you add R2 and L2 triggers it's what i and probably the entire vita community wants and it would be f**king awesome plus it could expand sales, i'd also appreciate using the ps vita as a ps3 controller compatible with all games. if only sony came on to sites like this to hear what the people want.

EvilRyu said...

They could of put more thought into the design i like the look of this http://www.ebay.ie/itm/PS-Vita-Trigger-Grip-PDP-/290708907258?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item43af99e4fa but it doesn't promote longer battery life just a real ps3 controller feel( i have one) it's sooo comfortable for playing shooters and especially fifa.

Jonathan Gaspar said...

Looks very ugly lol

Elron said...

I've had the grips for awhile now and can state they are a must buy! They do give you a much longer play time and offer a better way of gaming with out touching your rear touch pad. I've had them for over a month and have had no issues at all. And the 13+hours of battery life is a big +!

Elron said...

Check my LBP forum review as I also go into detail about these very same grips.

Elron said...

Sorry but here in Tampa Flordia they've been out for over a month now!

Aaron vita said...

In,cali its been out since may .

Elron said...

Bro don't be tempted just get to getting. The grips feel awesome and improve your playtime. I have had these for over a month myself so trust me these are more than worth the value!

Aaron vita said...

Also its a hassle using the rear touchpad when you are using it

Elron said...

Also Mr.Koopan Soul Sacrifice is going to allow 4 player co-op so I can't wait to slay Legions of Demons and other Vile creatures back to back with you and others of our Vita Brothers & Sisters!

Pio said...

Would add bulk and extra money and we might end up with something as ugly as the 3DS additional circle pad... But agreed, sony needs to expand remote play... however for the compatible games, the rear touch pad acts as R2/R3/L2/L3; a little weird but it works

MrKoopan said...

I'm gonna go look into those grips tomorrow, along with fifa (I got some extra cash to check it out!)


I just wish soul sacrifice would come out sooner, it will boost sales for sure, and it'll be an amazing game, can't wait!

also elron, what's your PSN ID? mine's yellowcobra if you want to add me

Elron said...

My PSN is: thetruthho

I'll be adding you friend soon as I get home. Todays my birthday. I'm now 30.

Elron said...

And again Fifa is great! I having grown up in Tampa Flordia was never into soccer as NFL style football was always my first choice. But after Fifa Soccer I've fallen in love with what other places call football. Not to mention its the best game to make use of the Vitas rear touch pad. You won't regret the buy at all!

Hvang_44 said...

its a good buy if u didnt get any other grips.

Ezio-auditore00 said...

Would this scartch your ps vita when you try to attch it???

Mealmh said...

So big...guys add me mael7470

Elron said...

No not at all. The part that goes into the USB port slides and has a lock to keep it in place. Now I won't lie even when locked in there is a litttle play room, but not enough to hurt your Vita in anyway.

Lol said...

yes that Nyko one looks pretty ugly, ill be waiting for one that looks like that one on ebay, sleek, and sexy lol.

ps: I've seen that same handgrip for 19.99 on amazon.

Lol said...

I actually like the running options on resistance BS, using the Down DPad is just so easy. and in my opinion, Fits it perfectly.

Elron said...

My bad Florida.

Elron said...

Great post Snake! And again you prove why this suite is above all others by not just acknowledging the games we crave but also the gear to improve our Vitas.

mjmb said...

just released? i've had that thing for over a month, it's pretty good; very comfortable, and the  extended battery life is great. it isn't ,however, for people with small hands as touching the screen might become difficult. you also have to take it off to access your game cartridge and using it with future accessories  will probably be impossible. overall, it is a good add-on with some minor set-backs

Elron said...

Ah stupid Android phone it's Florida not Flordia!

Ezio-auditore00 said...

Thats great might get one of these things. Thanks for the reply

Lol said...

just incase anyone hasn't heard. BESTBUY is having a 9.99 sale on some games, also RacoonCity is $15

its just an FYI

Killerzoverhere said...

Sure thing bro

Killerzoverhere said...

I'm not going to get it. It's not worth it.

Killerzoverhere said...

It can't fit into your pocket. it's not worth it. trust me.

Killerzoverhere said...

Wow. Good to see that the older generation still l loves video games. Should i get Resistance or not?

Killerzoverhere said...

SHould i Get resistance burning skies?

Elron said...

Resistance isn't bad it's just nowhere near the best FPS's. But overall I don't feel let down by it at all. As it's the foundation for other FPS's made for the PS Vita to build and improve on! I give it a solid 8 out of 10. As for the most part it is Resistance. Hey 30's not old. And if you want to talk about video games here's a list of the consoles I have. Sega With the 32x adapter, a Game Gear, the first Game Boy, Game Boy Advance SP, DS Lite, Sega Saturn and Sega DreamCast,PS1,PS2,and PS3, and a Sony Xperia Play R800a, Nes, Super Nes, N64, Game Cube, and Wii, Atari Jaguar, and Atari Lynx,PSP, and my 3G PS Vita. Not to mention I also own a collection of Nintendo's Game&Watch watches. And am trying to have a friend of mine hunt down a Virtual Boy with all the games and ect.. I'll die with with either a joystick or controler in my hands lol! I'm a gamer for life!

Dark Rift said...

i went and got the PDP one from gamestop i didnt like them at all those nubs didnt come out enough to even matter also i had problems with the left trigger button you had to mash it down to make the l trigger connect. This nyko one is definatly something i will buy

KillerzOverHere said...

not old. just compared to teenagers and all.

Letha1Rage said...

Exactly how I felt the triggers were crappy and the grip was grips were stubby. This looks much better because it keeps the vitas triggers and it has longer grips plus it doubles the battery life. I will defenitly pick this up sometime in the future

Haanswors said...

I know people that are 60 and rocking with GT5, I say if you still got it, don't lose it :)

Stephen Allen said...

YES, i don't know why its had bad reviews, i liked it, few minor things i think they should have added/change/done differently but certainly not enough to give it 1/10 score for reviews like some people have, thats just insane.

Shaneybo said...

I  bought this one because its the closest thing to an actual ps3 controller (pretty much), i haven't taken it off my vita since i bought it haha

The longer handles would be more comfortable that the other one that EvilRyu suggested but each to their own, just thought id share

Shaneybo said...

oh wait forgot to give link haha
