Anyone else getting a Vita to play this game on?

Personally I think the Vita is a waste of money and don't see the point of buying one in the first place...it will only get phased out in the next year anyway by the next "latest and greatest thing."

Uh... The original PSP had a 6 year lifecycle... that definitely doesn't count as getting "phased out in the next year"

You could easily say that any "luxury" item is a waste of money.
A PS3 is a waste of money
A nice car is a waste of money
Blu Rays are a waste of money
A TV is a waste of money

Blah blah blah.

You pay money to be entertained. Nobody has the right to say that someone is "wasting money" because they chose a different form of entertainment. It's all about choice.

The only "waste" of money is not spending money.

And that's the truth.

I got the Vita after learning the 3ds was a big mistake.

The Vita has converted me to a Sony guy in less than 1 week.

I got it in large part because of The Show. I plan on playing on both platforms. I love the fact that I can play my franchise on boring business trips/road trips etc...

Does anyone know if I am required to initiate the file sharing from the PS3? Or can I start the franchise on the Vita? I am getting the games today, but leaving for vacation immediately.

Wow, you know what? After such a well worded (and relevant to the topic at hand) argument, you've really helped me see the error of my ways.

Thank you, sincerely, for you insight.

Alright. Another Vita / The Show question.

The PS3 version copies data to the PS3 hard drive. Does the Vita version require this? Are the save sizes similar to past PS3 save files?

The prices of Vita memory cards are turning me off a bit, especially if I need to use them to store game data as well as game downloads. I get the piracy issue, but the prices are really going to turn off some people from downloading games.

Yes, the Vita version requires a memory card, as do most (if not all?) Vita games. It's easier for me to say this since my lady got me a Vita for our anniversary, but I didn't really have that much of an issue buying a memory card. Absolutely they're a little bit insanely priced, but I just decided to spend the cash and get the 32 gig. Odds are I won't ever need another one, and should the time come that I do, perhaps they'll be more options.

When I first popped in MLB in my Vita it said it was installing so I assume yes. I don't know hom much data was taken up however.

Yes, I also bought the vita to play the show 12 anywhere. I just don't understand the individuals who belittle the Vita solely on price reasons. It's an amazing piece of tech whether or not one can afford it. I actually played the Show 12 on the vita before popping in the PS3 version. The vita version's graphics are stellar, because this is my first portable gaming device I can't compare it to the PSP but after playing my first nine innings all I know this game and console are like buttah.
