I'll take the 30 seconds to stop by the bestbuy near my work on the way home. I didn't even know that the vita was coming out so soon until I saw this thread this morning. Shoulda preordered! :angry:

It's a $300 bundle that comes with a case, a 4GB memory card, a copy of Little Deviants, and you get it a week early ahead of the regular launch on the 22nd. Oh yea asked around in town for this but apparently you had to preorder to get it. Oh well.

I broke down and bought Lumines on the PSN. It's $6 more than retail on Amazon, but still cheaper than buying it at Gamestop. I wanted it now dammit! It's also only like ~728mb so it's okay on my 4GB card for now. THE COLORS DUKE. THE COLORS!!! edit: Sent out a few invites to people on the list. Add me! I currently only have one other Vita user :'( http://www.klaver.co.uk/ps3goons/index.php?u=239 edit2: Well I guess I was wrong on the prices. Didn't know they weren't discounted any longer.

My local Walmart made the mistake of putting out their entire Vita inventory yesterday, wifi and 3g/wifi models both. I figured I would make an attempt to purchase a wifi model and kept my fingers crossed. I had the friendly associate carry everything to the register and I am feeling good as gold. Hot Shots Golf and the memory card ring up just fine, but when the Vita ran across the scanner, "Sale Not Allowed" Ahhhhh! Denied at the gate!

Wikipedia Brown posted:I'm worried about this, too. The ergonomics certainly don't look much better, and I've been having a pretty serious flare-up of carpal tunnel syndrome lately. The PSP has always been especially hand-crippling for me. Because the system is wider and more naturally sloped, it ends up fitting in your hands in a much more natural way. The PSP was seriously cramped, and I hated it too, but I've had zero problems with the Vita. VarXX posted:So far it's been a lot easier to handle than the PSP, but I think I'm going to grab these as well to help out http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/acc...gger-grip/98483 This is so goddamn dumb looking. Far be it for me to tell people what they should or shouldn't get when it comes to their new toys, but I'll take a few scratches or something over goofy screens and bulky add-ons that ruin the simplicity of the original design.

Idk, going by impressions the shoulder buttons aren't much better than the PSP's, which were a source of constant pain in games you had to continually have them pressed. I can't see myself buying one these attachments but I can certainly see some appeal.

Primoman posted:Also, I checked the PSN Store, and Valkyria Chronicles II costs $39.99 digitally. If you look through the Games listing in the PSN store, there is a Bundles option. You can get Valkyria Chronicles 2 plus 22 more missions all for $22.49. And just to make it an extra fun treat, each mission downloads as its own little bubble on the PS3.

But at least I can consider putting the UMD copy up on eBay. More than anything, however, I'd like to know if Square plans to do a Final Fantasy PSN sale (for Dissidia 012) like they did for Europe a couple of weeks ago. Has Sony completely denied whether or not they'll have a PSN discount sale for the Vita's launch? I know we're hoping for it, but if they haven't mentioned anything about it yet, there's still a shot it could happen.

QuicK question regarding PSP games. Does the system log you out if your online when you play a PSP game? If no, what does it say you are playing? My understanding is PSP games play through an emulator. Does the system say what game you are playing on your status or just "PSP game" or similar?

OK so I'm still confused about how regions work on this thing. I've got 3 PSN accounts (UK, US, JP), but the Vita can only use one? But someone said something about sub-accounts? Or are the accounts tied to the memory cards, as was the rumour ages ago, so you just make one for each account? Has all this mayhem been sorted out yet or are we still waiting for confirmation?

^^^^^^^^^^^ Mine go over a little sometimes otherwise my index fingers hover around the top corners near the triggers. Wow, just realized you can press and hold the PS button. It lets you change brightness, music volume and two other options (previously thought changing the brightness was a pain). I haven't read the manuals so there's that. You can also use it to wake the system. I've just been using the power button.

Lower expected sales for niche titles in a market where the people who actually want these games will pay the premium = higher prices  They price higher because they can. It's not like these games, if priced less, would suddenly see way more sales because they are so outside of the mainstream.

It's just kind of ridiculous that Atlus USA charges $40 for Persona 1 while in the UK they charge $15 (converted from Pound to USD), that's what I'm thinking at least.

That first paragraph is a nice reminder of how bad IGN is.IGN posted:Have you ever dated someone that seems like your perfect match? A person all your friends swoon over and make jealous remarks about? Everything about this person seems to fit you; but deep down, underneath the attractive face and charming personality, something just feels off. This embodies my Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational experience.

On the topic of Hot Shots it looks like the max loyalty is level 3 for a character. I was thinking it was a lot more like in HSG:OT2. It was moving so slow... I was worried. My trophies.

Have you guys seen the recent Mortal Kombat for Vita trailer? In a pretty stupid move, it seems to very heavily imply that the game features Augmented Reality, but that is in fact NOT at all a feature of the game, as confirmed by (among other sources) Ed Boon on twitter. Supposedly the trailer is just meant to illustrate playing the game anywhere you go.  Seriously, watch this and tell me it doesn't make you think the game features AR.
