NEW YORK (AP) — J.C. Penney Co. on Wednesday raised its guidance for a key sales measure while reporting a narrower loss in the first quarter than it had a year ago.
The results offered some encouragement for investors worried about the company's slow turnaround. Penney has been trying to recover from a disastrous reinvention pushed by former CEO Ron Johnson.
Under Johnson's tenure, the company alienated customers and lost billions of dollars in revenue in a makeover that got rid of discounting and some basic merchandise. Johnson was fired in April 2013.
To get Penney back on track, the board brought back Mike Ullman out of retirement. He has been restoring sales and some of the goods that Johnson got rid of. Last year, the company named Marvin Ellison, a former executive at Home Depot, as president. He is designated to take over as CEO in August.
To drive sales, the company said Wednesday it plans to launch an online business for the beauty brand Sephora on Penney's website. The retailer has been expanding its exclusive Sephora shops, which have been key attractions.
The company is also working to boost its online business with new services. In the first quarter, the retailer saw more customers choosing to buy online and ship to a store. That results in more trips and extra purchases when they visit the store, Penney officials said. On average, that customer will spend 20 percent more on additional merchandise at the time they visit the store.
It also expanded the number of stores used to fulfill online orders to more than 160 of its 1,100 stores. Penney officials noted that a customer who shops both online and in the store buys two-and-a-half times more frequently in a year than a customer who shops only at a physical store.
The home furnishings area is also a big opportunity. The company was pleased with results of its spring home catalog and plans an additional catalog later. It's working with actress Eva Longoria on a new line of bedding.
"This year we are switching gears, going on the offensive to gain back share and grow our business profitably while executing our vision to become the preferred shopping choice for Middle America," said Ullman.
Still, Penney faces a tough road ahead.
The Plano, Texas-based retailer said that it lost $167 million, or 55 cents per share, in its fiscal first quarter. Losses, adjusted for one-time gains and costs, were 57 cents per share. It lost $352 million, or $1.15 per share, in the year-ago period.
The latest results surpassed Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 79 cents per share.
The department store operator posted revenue of $2.86 billion in the period, which fell short the $2.87 billion expected by analysts surveyed by Zacks.
Revenue at stores open at least a year rose 3.4 percent for the three-month period that ended May 2. The figure is a key indicator of a retailer's health. Penney said that it now expects revenue at stores open at least a year to rise 4 to 5 percent, up from the original forecast of 3 to 5 percent.
Shares slipped 17 cents, or 2 percent, to close at $8.71 in regular market trading before the report was released. In after-hours trading, shares slipped 5 cents to $8.66. Shares are well below the $43 price that they reached when investor enthusiasm was high over Johnson's plan back in February 2012.

While way too many people in the Catholic blogosphere were way too concerned with whether Father Alberto Cutie should have left Holy Mother Church so quickly, or whether Judge Sonia Sotomayor was sufficiently Catholic (Massgoer or just occasional Massgoer?), or just how much of a liberation theologian Miguel Diaz is, or whether any of the bishops were going to take punitive action against a Catholic college in Indiana, the Holy Spirit was patiently doing her work. (Oh, and don't get all hot and bothered about that "her." Ruah in the Hebrew, I am reliably told, is feminine. So is Sophia, as in Wisdom. So why not a "her" for the Spirit? It's not a him, is it? And it is, most likely, not a bird. Anyway, "her work.")
What prompts this? Well, I've spent the last few days directing a weekend retreat here at Eastern Point Retreat House, in Gloucester, Massachusetts (home of the Gorton Fisherman, setting of The Perfect Storm, not to mention Captains Courageous) and was reminded, once again, that the faithful are faithful and the Holy Spirit is busy. Now, I won't break any confidences (and certainly not get remotely close to breaking the seal of the confessional), but whenever I leave the narrow confines of the blogosphere, and medialand in general, for the world of ministry--whether doing sacramental ministry at my local and vibrant Jesuit church in New York, offering spiritual direction to a few adventurous and trusting souls, giving an evening talk at a far-flung parish and meeting enthusiastic parishioners, or doing retreats here at my favorite place in the world (see above photo for why) I'm reminded that the Holy Spirit is still quite in charge, thank God (if you can thank God for God).
In other words, despite all the absolutely scandalous infighting in the Catholic church lately (um, need any examples? I didn't think so) babies are baptized, children receive their first Communion, adolescents are confirmed, couples are married, the dead are buried, the Mass is celebrated and people are generally happy to be Catholic.
This weekend I'm spending time with a wonderfully diverse group of devoted men and women all seeking to find God in their lives, and, guess what?--God is finding them, and finding me, too. God tends to do this, no matter how contentious, fractious or resolutely unchristian our church becomes over matters political or even theological. Not to say that the news stories in that first graf are unimportant (those stories touch on celibacy, the place of religion in the political arena, Christology, the Holy See and abortion.) Rather, our infernal internal battles cannot prevent the Holy Spirit from working in the church. Thank God for the Spirit.
Pentecost was a big surprise to the disciples. All those languages? To say nothing of the "tongues of fire" (whatever that looked like). The Holy Spirit is always surprising, rarely (ever?) conforming to our expectations. Bold, energetic, vibrant, shocking, alarming, unexpected, transformative. Cf: the lives of the saints. Cf: the Second Vatican Council. Cf: anything that renews your enthusiasm about the church. But you know that already. What I tend to forget, though, is how consistent it is. The Spirit is always at work in the church and in the lives of believers. And while ugly suspicion, rampant mistrust and widespread contumely in the church--especially between warring "factions"--is a continuing scandal, the Spirit moves beyond all that, into the hearts of believers.
It's Pentecost every day in the church. The Spirit is speaking. But are we listening? Or are we too busy blaming to hear her?
James Martin, SJ

I kindly request you if I you can make a correction to my nose, and could you please tell me if there is any difficulty or any risk may reflect on my health or on the shape of my nose if I made the second surgery ? and when can I do it ? I will put my trust on you Doctor , I am really in very critical situation . I will wait your answer . Thank you in advance , and have a good luck. Kind Regards; SaharAnswerDear sahar; Do not worry about your nose . it will improve wit Hin six to seven months. After this time, I can correct any problem of your nose if you wish.Is it possible to stay one night at the clinic?Question-4Hello, I would like to know what is the price for a secondary rhinoplasty with all the costs included such as tests,hospitalization,anestesik etc.I am living in Europe and I am considering to get a nose job in Iran. I would also like to know how long time I need to be in Iran totally,with all the pre and post operators controls.And also,because I am afraid of complications,I would like to stay one night in the hospital if it s possible.Does that costs also?Hope you can answer my questions. Best regardsAnswerHello sa Hin; you need to stay in Iran at least for ten days. You may stay in clinic the night after surgery with no extra cost .Asking for advice after 3 unsuccessful consultationQuestion-8Dear DR. Hosnani, I am a 23-year-old Arabic young lady residing in London, United Kingdom. I have been looking for an excellent and skilled rhinoplasty surgeon for the past 5 years. I have been to three consultations before in London. Unfortunately all three were unsuccessful as the surgeons told me I have an ethnic tthick skinned (meaty) nose and they couldn t change much about it. I understand that in these Western countries they only have experience with boney (Caucasian) noses. I have looked at your website in detail and saw that you also performed surgery on meaty noses. I am very interested in your work. The problem with my nose is my side profile. My nose is very long and looks unattractive. My nose tip is very big and looks fat. I have included many pictures from the front, side(s) and bottom. I really want to change it into a smaller nose. Of course I am also being realistic and I am not expecting a VERY small nose, but a more feminine nose. I also do not want the typical nose Iranian girls have that looks like Michael Jackson with a high tip as this nose is not nice in the West. I want a very natural looking smaller nose and as long as my side profile is smaller, I would be very happy. Please let me know your honest opinion about this case so I can start getting everything planned. I am hoping to come to Iran in June. I am looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, SuhaAnswerHi Dear Suha; As my colleagues said to you , the skin of your nose is thick and it is not possible to do major changes on it . but I can reduce it s size slightly and your nose will look like better than this condition .

Granted I have never been under the knife for any type of operation, I am a little nervous about going through with the procedure. I am 18 years old and would have to come to Iran from California. In one of your answers to another patient you mentioned that they would have to stay in Iran for 10 days but how many days will it be for me to completely stop being in pain following the surgery? Also will there be prescribed pain killer to help live through the days following the operation? Furthermore, when my friend got her nose done she was only allowed to eat soup for ten days. Is that also part of your protocol or do you practice a different theory? Thank you so much for your help and I will you success in all your future businesses :) Sincerely, Mona ChatriAnswerHi Dear Mona Pain is not an important problem after surgery because my patients have no pain or have a little pain after surgery that subside by simple pain killer like Acetaminophen . Ten days after surgery you should have soft diet .Acromegaly patient interested in rhinoplastyQuestion-34Hello doktor Hosnani. My name is Lena i live in Baku.

Sonoma Police are looking for three women who are suspected of walking out of Sonoma Market on Nov. 4, with more than $1,150 of high-priced wine.
According to Sgt. Jason Craver with the Sonoma Police Department, the theft was discovered after the women left the store. Apparently Sonoma Market employees noticed that a large number of bottles of wine – 22 to be exact – were missing.
Using the surveillance tape, the store narrowed it down to three women who left the store together.
The Police Department posted photos from the surveillance tape on Facebook and the women were identified shortly thereafter.
While the police know who the women are, they hadn't been arrested as of Wednesday afternoon. When arrested, they could face charges including grand theft-shoplifting and conspiracy to commit a crime.

My fiance and I are looking for a BYOB caterer for at or under $65/head for family style dinner. This needs to include the full set up (linens, tables, chairs, china) for 200 headcount. We're planning on a rustic style (but elegant) comfort food dinner.

"Why can't we all get along?" The iconic question has become the fixation of much of Washington's chattering class. David Brooks and Thomas Friedman censure President Obama for blowing the "Grand Bargain" or not embracing the recommendations of Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, co-chairs of the deficit reduction commission. Self-proclaimed bipartisan efforts — No Labels, Americans Elect — call for putting aside partisan squabbles and electing moderates who can get things done.
All this chatter leaves out one thing — any sense of reality. The old bipartisanship, such as it was, was built on the postwar economy that worked for everyone. Top-end taxes were at 90 percent, providing the resources to invest in essential programs such as the interstate highways, the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe, the G.I. bill and housing subsidies that educated a generation and built the suburbs.
In those days, U.S. companies exported goods rather than jobs, and a decent argument could be made that what was good for General Motors was in fact good for America. It wasn't perfect. The "other America" lived lives of quiet desperation. Segregation still was brutally enforced. But the bipartisan consensus reflected an economy that was working for many, not just the few.
That is no longer true, and hasn't been for years. Multinationals ship jobs abroad and park profits overseas to avoid taxes. Wall Street blew up the economy but got bailed out, with the bankers continuing to pocket the big bucks. Three-fourths of the country thinks the recession hasn't ended. And no wonder: Wages are still falling and mass unemployment inflicts grinding misery. In 2010, the top 1 percent captured an obscene 93 percent of the rewards of "recovery."
Not surprisingly, more and more Americans at both ends of the spectrum think Washington is corrupted by big money and big business. And when the parties do come together — as they recently did to pass the corporate-championed, falsely named JOBS Act that declares open season for fraudulent corporate stock offerings — they simply prove the case.
Also ignored in the plea for cooperation is the simple reality that the Republican Party has been captured by an extreme-right wrecking crew, who have not the slightest interest in compromise. Rather they are intent on gutting modern government, outside of the bloated military. Grover Norquist was delivering his normal incendiary rant in 2001 when he said he aimed to shrink government "to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." At the time, I doubt even he expected that this year's Republican House budget — devised by the Beltway favorite Paul Ryan — would actually aspire to that standard, reducing discretionary spending by 2050 to levels that can be met only by dismantling all of government outside of the military, Social Security, Medicare and other health programs.
Obama, a mediator by instinct and experience, paid a deep price by trying to pursue bipartisan cooperation. He wasted months on health care as Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) engaged in phantom negotiations with supposed Republican moderates. The president turned prematurely to deficit reduction, and then to seeking a grand bargain with John Boehner, impervious to the reality that Boehner could not produce his caucus for any kind of tax hikes. Now, for the election, the president has begun to clarify the stark differences between the parties, to the benefit of his reelection and the public's understanding.
But what makes the elite consensus so dangerous is that we're headed into a train wreck after the election that will require some kind of a deal. By the end of the year, if nothing is done, the Bush tax cuts, the payroll tax cut and extended unemployment benefits will expire, and the automatic sequester will cut another $110 billion out of discretionary spending for the remainder of the fiscal year. This would surely cripple the weak recovery we have, and very likely drive the economy into recession.
But the terms of the "grand bargain" represented by the Obama-Boehner negotiations or the Simpson-Bowles recommendations are skewed dramatically to the right. The basic outline exchanges cuts in Social Security and Medicare for "tax reform," promising to lower tax rates while closing enough loopholes to raise revenues. That requires erasing the mortgage deduction for middle-class homeowners or ending the employer deduction for providing health care to employees. This notion of "shared sacrifice" is unconscionable, given that working Americans have been sacrificing for years and weren't even invited to the Wall Street bacchanalia that created the mess.
Worse, the entire frame of the discussion — driven by Washington elites — is perverse. We should be focused on how to put people to work. How much should we take advantage of record-low interest rates and borrow to rebuild America and put construction workers back to work? How much should we raise taxes on Wall Street and multinationals to pay for rehiring teachers, and direct employment of young people?
Instead, guided once more by a misbegotten elite consensus, we're going to argue about how much of a hit a barely growing economy should take. That's a consensus the country can't afford.

Apple took the wraps off its own mobile mapping service and improved the search capabilities of its Siri electronic assistant technology as it rolled out souped-up software and hardware Monday in San Francisco to help it wage war on Google.
CEO Tim Cook, who took over from late co-founder Steve Jobs last August, spearheaded the unveiling of new services to help keep Google and its fast-growing Android mobile platform at bay.
In its new mobile operating software, iOS 6, Apple tweaked a number of features to further its lead in enticing users to stay within its ecosystem. The upgrades marked a bolstering of Apple's arsenal as it tries to keep its top-down applications and hardware environment ahead of competition from Android device makers such as Samsung Electronics and Motorola Mobility.
Apple will be replacing Google Maps, a pre-loaded app so far on the iPhone and iPad, with its own in-house map service, delivering a big blow to Google, which gets about half its map traffic from Apple devices.
The move signals that the friendship between Apple and Google — whose former CEO once sat on Apple's board — is long over, and underscores Apple's efforts to reduce its ties with Google, said Colin Gillis, analyst with BGC Partners.
Also Monday, Apple unveiled the new features for Siri, the innovative voice-activated iPhone search feature users have criticized as faulty and inadequate, announcing it is now available on iPads and recites a larger database of answers, especially about sports, restaurants and movies.
Apple also introduced new hardware, such as a new 0.7-inch-thick MacBook Pro that will employ the "retina" displays that have won strong reviews for the new iPad.
Along with the introduction of the new MacBook Pro, Apple also updated it current Mac lineup including the MacBook Air.

This week on Gamertag Radio:
*Why Godfree is selling his PS Vita
*Wii U games for early 2013
*Exclusive Podcast Interview with Wrekonize of ¡Mayday!
*Review: Dont Starve (Steam)
*The return of True or False segment
Regards "Why Godfree is selling his PS Vita" I would wait for E3 before making the decision. Some big games are coming out this year (Killzone to name one example). You don't wan't to sell it then regret it when those dates are fully confirmed and if the PS4 is announce I predict increased functionality with it. I am expecting a lull in information between now and E3 because I see Gaikai being a huge thing for the Vita at E3
Godfree is probably one of those spaz impulsers that buys>sells>buys a gaming machine like three or more times each gen. Just sit on it and see what develops, or you'll regret getting rid of it. Especially with stuff like Soul Sacrifice on the horizon. Sony haven't announced much for the Vita in 2013 and this is the year that they have to make it shine. Only a fool would think that the calendar year will be bare.
If by this time next year, there still isn't anything on the Vita horizon that piques your interest, sure go ahead and get rid of it. For me, I have a feeling that this is going to be the same JRPG powerhouse that the PSP was, and that's all that I need it to be.
God Eater 2, Soul Sacrifice, and about a dozen more JRPGs are in the pipeline and just waiting to be localized. Those are just the ones that we know about too.
Final Fantasy complete sale on the Psn next week (EU)! Stock up!
Oh you mean like 360 owners, buy the first machine, it breaks, buys another one, sells it for another one, buy's another 360 with hdmi.
He has probably kept his 3ds for Mario though.
I would totally wait until E3 but then again maybe all the attention at E3 will be going towards the next PlayStation
I think Gaikai will apply to both systems and is also a good way to bridge the conference between the Vita and the PS4 with talk about how it will interact with the PS4
Sony can't afford to just let PSV fade away in the sand by not having E3 announcements for the handheld
I agree,before anyone jump the gun on the Vita they should wait after destination playstation and E3 to blow over.
I see that unlikely,there will def be a good amount of coverage focused on the next playstation but i don't think they'll leave the Vita out cold with the current state it's in.At this point i think sony realizes that they need to take action with the Vita like nintendo did with the 3ds.
Well that's what i think anyways.
The 3Ds is much better why I know I have both !
@lfclee - Yeah, I have both as well, and as great as the 3DS is, I'm sorry to say it's no Vita. As a whole, the Vita is probably my favorite console of all. All it needs are more quality games to come out for it. As a system, it's just wonderful.
Get rid,Sony have failed in the Vita the 3ds has game after game Castlevania/Monster hunter 4/EX troopers ect ect.
You do realize that the vita hasn't been on the market as long as the 3ds so there is a gap between okay games and excellent ones.
I'm all for Monster Hunter 4, but that Castlevania game on 3DS looks garbage.
There's no way you'd be bigging it up if it was a Vita exclusive
@zebramocha- What the hell? All those disagrees you got on a FACT? It HASN'T been out nearly as long as the 3DS has, how can people disagree with a fact? Wait... N4G, right... The site is great, but man the people...
"Why Godfree is selling his PS Vita."
Heroin is a helluva drug. It ain't cheap either.
That Killzone games looks terrible, Tearaway looks WAY BETTER.
What? I know it's all down to preference, but saying that they look "terrible" is just waaaaay off base. I like what I saw of Tearaway, but Killzone is a lot more advanced technically and to me, it looks better.
they havent even shown off enough of the game to even brand it terrible....
Killzone Mercenary looks just like console Killzone. Amazing. Even more so by the fact that the Vita can produce console quality graphics. Even 360 cant do Killzone graphics.
Why would you sell a something when you know will become even more valuable in the future?
I am a "Nintendo Fan-boy"
BUT EVEN i KNOW that the VITA is going to be important to future PS4 owners.
Whatever, have fun buying it again once the PS4 comes out.
It was the same way for the people who sold their Wii's before Zelda: Skyward Sword came out- they had to spend more money just to re-buy the system they had already owned.
(But in the end, it is just a gamble either way. I hope he made the right choice for himself.)
When I saw the title for this page the first thing that came to my mind was...
"Why I don't care. Story at 11."
I sold a console once... didn't write an article.
I would never sell a system unless I bought a succeeding system that has backwards compatibility.
I would at least wait to see whats announced at Destination Playstation. But thats just me.
Lego city/smash bros and Monster hunter 4 on 3ds will be the end of Vita just my guess.
I don't know about Lego City. It looks cool for Wii U but I tend to not trust handheld games developed alongside console versions.
I don't care, said Pierre, I'm from France
You took the time to follow a link and comment just to tell us that you don't care?
Following the link and typing that out took less than a minute. It takes longer to masturbate.
Don't worry vita fans , just vote down and move on.
It's the same monotonous console bashing as always...
Im selling my vita....just to buy the red psvita..dont you love me haters???
There's a red one?!? Selling mine to get it.
Sarcasm aside, you have to admit the Soul Sacrifice Vita looks pretty awesome.
I fear that this will be the norm if Vita doesn't pick up in the next 6 to 9 months.
Flame bait article. If he hate mature quality handheld gaming, then sell and move on. Why make an article? Down vote (how'd this get in?)
Lol. Any statement or action that appears negative towards Sony is automatically trashed by fanboys as flame bait or trolling. Details and facts don't matter at all.
I'm a fan of no one. I'm a GAMER, I own all, love all of my systems.
So when I see an article like this all it's doing is spewing bullshit about his opinion and trying to make something look bad. I hated it with the 3ds,360,ps3,wii,wiiU,psp,ect. This article is what wrong with the gaming world, too many fanboys or flam bait floating around. If this idiot wants to sell a system that's only a year old ( tell me 1 system that hit its prime after a year...) before e3 mind you than go right ahead sell it give it to someone who enjoys games and out of the hands of some dick who's too ignorant to understand how the gaming world works.... I don't feel like explaining how it works so, short version : systems sales numbers doesn't matter in its first cycle nor does its game library....( wii, best seller least games) its after the price drop do they begin to really pay attention to numbers. Devs will always make games... It thier job, if the psp had so many devs making games for it then why ignor the vita.the ds out sold it but we still seen big name titles like gta. Same for any system. That's why this is flame bait IMO its irrelivent crybaby bs.
Well said, Kingthrash! Bubble up!
If that guy doesn't want his Vita, he can give it to me. I want Tearaway.
Theres at least 4 games that im interested in that are coming out soon so i think i will keep my Vita for the time being. Im dying to see more of Tearaway and Killzone mercenaries and Sly 4.
^ buying sly 4 for ps3 and get the vita version free..only 39.99 thats a smart buy
I was about to buy Ni No Kuni, forgot that this title is cross play/buy. Thanks for reminding.
Why I'm not selling my PS vita...Soul Sacrifice!
I'm not quite sure I understand this whole mentality. The Vita has TONS of games. Hell, I have a full screen and a half filled of games on my Vita, and some being the best games I've played in a while (Gravity Rush, Persona 4 Golden, PSAS, LBPVita, Retro City Rampage, etc).
For example, the games I own on my Vita at least triple the games I own for 3DS. Yet I'm not running around yelping about how the 3DS is dying. It's just that I'm not interested in replaying games I've played since the NES/Gameboy days (although the new Pokemon game looks fantastic).
"For example, the games I own on my Vita at least triple the games I own for 3DS. Yet I'm not running around yelping about how the 3DS is dying."
Because you'd be idiotic to say the 3DS is dying retro active since MH acquisition.
I'm not freaking interested on any 3DS games except KH3D, RE and now Project X Zone (w/c is already gonna be ported and I'm getting the PC version [RE])..
but at this rate, devs are likely to flock much faster on the 3DS.. So it wouldn't be hard to comprehend people jumpshipping (or consider first to buy) to a more "stable" and cheaper system
... unless you're Sony fan (<-- w/c I am not using as something negative).
Im keeping my vita
bought mine on release, love it! keeping mine till the end!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're not pleased with it, give it a discounted second hand price so that a fellow gamer who could enjoy it for what it is just like myself can buy and play the hell out of that little monster.
I on the other hand will keep my Vita as I know that Killzone Mercenary will be a blast and offer the best ever multiplayer experience on any handheld device out there. It'll be great to go through a round or two at nights while resting on the couch at the same time after a hard day's work.
Meh.. I'm giving my VITA past E3.. I'll be nice and give it the whole 2013 at least :P
Maybe they'll announce a new Miku game before the year ends.. but then again the devs were disappointed by the VITA sales and implied it was the last VITA PJD game.. >.<
No Western One Piece
3DS getting another new "rare" title PJZX
No RE Revelation port (but have on PS360/WiiU)
Every minute, Sony has to announce something bigger this Feb and E3..
and then there's tom's Nintendo Event..
Sometime I think why do they post these topic. Make my brain hurt.
PS Vita just alittle slow but once pso2 and ffx and my MH4 come out sale will go up.
well vita is announced on a month and where there is not too much interesting games on handheld and peak of smartphones i guess..so i think it would be nice to announce bunch of games this e3 since everybody now wants to go with buttons on their smartphones
Why would you buy something around it's launch when it has few games, just to sell it later when it starts getting games?
Obviously he has the internet, he knew what he was getting into....
obvious flame bait is obvious.
is sucks to have your console put down unfairly right?
wii u has been out 2 months and some of you jumped all over it saying it was doomed.
so take it easy cause it sucks when people don't give our systems enough time to get going.
Why I'm Selling My PS Vita"
Because you're stupid
its now a tradition for every playstation system to take 2 or 3 years for there systems to hit there stride. Vita is just now hitting the 1 year mark soon. Im confident the vita will really start kicking ass over the next couple of years
If there is one thing i learned from the past, its never to sell a gaming system once you own it.
Every system has some classics and the time will come you want to play them again.
Besides, ps vita is still young in its life cycle, there is shitloads great games to come (or not, we'll see, but i believe!).
Last time I sold anything it was COD. I never sell consoles or handhelds.
I've had a DS twice, sold it twice, and regretted it both times. Same with my PSP. Every other system I've gotten- save for my Atari- I still have.
I'm not too into selling off my games, either, though I've had to do so a few times. I'm pretty picky about the games I buy, so I feel comfortable not selling them afterwards. I try to be prudent with my purchases.
some of you guys always fall for it.he wont sell it,its just to get hits with this joke articles -why I will sell this why that?hahaha but its good at least for me to have a laugh.
There is no need to sell your PSVita you don't get me more then you paid for it, and your least what I understand stuck with whatever memory cards you bought for it. If you don't play it keep it charged for random events like: plane, or bus rides, or gaming alittle in bed before sleeping, or my personal reason, "when the power goes out."

Hello Debbie!:) I love seeing your Blue Jays up close and personal like in these shots. They really do make quick work of the peanuts, just like ours, it's worth it though to put peanuts out twice a day, just to admire their beauty. Sweet Coaltits and Goldfinch images also.ReplyDelete

You have lovely birds in your area. Those Chickadees are so cute. - Love that last shot of the Jay.ReplyDelete
My hubby is getting into photography quite a bit, I am still a point and shoot kind of gal, so I shared these pics with him, and now he is telling me he needs a new lens to get those shots, what was I thinking, LOL.... Gorgeous pics, I love the different angles you got and the last where you say he is sticking his tongue out at you had me cracking up, good capturing that one :) Have a great weekReplyDelete
