[QUOTE=archnemesis;34882558]Phantasy Star Portable 2 was still available on the European PSN store this weekend. I considered picking it up, but it was a tad too expensive.[/QUOTE]
Available on the PSN != available on the Vita-specific PSN.

[QUOTE=Liamario;34882554]So far-
Vita Wi Fi
Starter Pack (PAL version)
Rayman Origins
Everybody's Golf
UMVC 3/Blazblue

Later-
Unit 13
Gravity Rush

Would love a shooter, but Uncharted GA is not going to be worth the money for me.

Should I get 16gb card for €50 with the voucher I have or import a 32gb for €70?[/QUOTE]

I would go for the 32GB, but depends on you. If you buy most of your games in retail and only some psn-games, than 16GB should be enough.

Btw. where do you get a 32GB card for 70€?

[QUOTE=Keiician;34882565]Available on the PSN != available on the Vita-specific PSN.[/QUOTE]Oh, I didn't know they were different. Can I at least buy it from my PS3 and then transfer it to my Vita?

[QUOTE=Keiician;34882565]Available on the PSN != available on the Vita-specific PSN.[/QUOTE]

Ah I get it now, but what if you already own psp download titles from before, they can carry over right?

No, you can't. They're just not supported. That's the sole reason they're not available on the Vita store.

Ah ok, thanks. :P

I ordered mine there too, but with shipping its 75€. So i thought you got a cheaper alternative.

30 euro for games? that's like £25, nice

Pre-order in, so looking forward to this! ^_^

[QUOTE=Keiician;34882257]The overall impressions from using Sony protector were positive, so I don't really understand why people press for the Hori one so much.[/QUOTE]

I just like the way the Hori one wraps around the whole face of the Vita..
doesn't the Sony protector just cover the screen?

[QUOTE=Jaroof;34882707]I just like the way the Hori one wraps around the whole face of the Vita..

To be honest it's the ease of installation for the Hori one that enticed me. I've yet to do a decent job of applying a screen protector anywhere and I've tried A LOT. :(

Yes, it's only for the screen.

That, too. :p
I'm the same way. I always end up with a bunch of air bubbles under my screen protector, and they always end up crooked.

[QUOTE=Jaroof;34882731]That, too. :p

The only protectors which I put on without the bubbles were the 2 or 3 DS ones I've used. PSP and Vita ones ended up in the trash, since I can't stand those bubbles.

This will be my launch day:

PSVITA Wi-Fi
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Wipeout 2048
Touch My Katamary
Escape Plan
8GB Memory Card
Starter Kit

After launch:

Gravity Rush Import USA (I'm from Italy and I want the little packaging)

i ordered my screen protector here:

Its a bit expensive, but seems pretty good. And its for both the touchscreen and touchpad.

Where does Planet Axel ship from?

[QUOTE=feli;34882817]It depends: if you live in Europe, it ships from Copenhagen, in Denmark or France/UK.

Beat me to it.

I'm personally getting the Sony double pack.. And was going to purchase the Hori later on.
However, the barriercheif looks like a solid purchase as well. My only issue is the 20+ days it would take to get to the US.

My experience was about 15 days. I think it's the same with you, I'm from Italy.

Changed my preorder:

PSVita 3G+Wifi
8GB Card
FIFA Football
Uncharted

Soon after from the store ill get:

Escape plan
Wipeout

[QUOTE=feli;34882851]My experience was about 15 days. I think it's the same with you, I'm from Italy.[/QUOTE]
Were you able to pay in Euros? It just asked me to switch to CAD or USD and it got slighty more expensive :/

Sorry if this has been answered, but does anyone know the download price for Wipeout 2048?

Thanks in advance

[QUOTE=Stephen_drewz;34883005]Sorry if this has been answered, but does anyone know the download price for Wipeout 2048?

5% less then retail right? so if the RRP is £29.99 it would be only a few pounds cheaper.

they emailed me earlier this morning to tell me personally that they had shipped it out :) I was impressed (it didn't seem like a form letter)

hopefully it gets here quick

Played with a Vita at the store recently and the screen size immediately took me by surprise, I mean that thing is massive in person! And it seemed so light too.

Also, wipeout was the best looking demo, looked amazing

Been thinking about getting one now :D

Still can't make my mind up on a case. The [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-V-I-P-Case-Vita-PlayStation/dp/B0070AUERC/ref=sr_1_10?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1328532627&sr=1-10"]VIP case[/URL] looks nice, but the [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-S-P-F-Case-Vita-PlayStation/dp/B006ZN5TQ6/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1328532627&sr=1-5"]SPF case[/URL] has space for game cards.

Any idea what the preorder numbers look like?

It's a shame that the V.I.P-case doesn't hold any cards/accs.
It is by far the best looking case.

VIP case looks like a glasses case and easier to stick in your pocket quickly, the brick with game holders looks great but a bit too fancy to me, something you keep on the side of your desk more then anything.

[QUOTE=DBT85;34879704]There is arguably also a market for a 400 disk blu ray autochanger with a PS3 built in also. But if that market is not big enough to pay for the development and production costs then it doesn't happen.



There are I think like 6 direct ports. The rest are other entries in the franchises.

it's like saying I don't want to play Uncharted 3 because I played Uncharted 2.[/QUOTE]

Even then for some reason I'm still not as convinced about [I]Golden Abyss[/I]. Maybe because it's not Naughty Dog's direct involvement. It just feels more like a token handheld game than an honest entry for me. We'll see when it comes out. The other Vita sequels feel like this even moreso to me (or are just in franchises I've never really cared about, like [I]Wipeout[/I]).

[I]Lumines[/I] is pretty much the only Vita launch software I care that much about. and no one game is worth $250. It'll probably start to get real worthwhile software around its first holiday after release like every game platform so I'll probably wait till then if the Wii-U's launch lineup doesn't kick ass.

Putty Squad is no longer a launch title.

[QUOTE=Captain N;34883442]Putty Squad is no longer a launch title.[/QUOTE]

:(

Let's hope it comes out quick. Did they give a reason to this?
Has this game ever been seen in motion? All I saw was a screenshot reel.

Is Amazon.fr's deal the best one in Western Europe?

Does anyone know if Modnation Racers will have an online pass in the US?

[QUOTE=Shancake;34883515]Does anyone know if Modnation Racers will have an online pass in the US?[/QUOTE]

It doesn't have online. They will patch in head 2 head mode later... so I wouldn't count on an online pass.

[QUOTE=Shancake;34883515]Does anyone know if Modnation Racers will have an online pass in the US?[/QUOTE]

No online pass. Someone do an unboxing of ModNation Racers and there is nothing inside the case besides the game.

[QUOTE=Keiician;34882616]No, you can't. They're just not supported. That's the sole reason they're not available on the Vita store.[/QUOTE]

Whoa whoa whoa...

My biggest reason to buy a Vita is just to play my downloaded PSP games with a beautiful screen and second-analog stick mapping... Phantasy Star Portable 2 being one of the major ones.

Are you saying I CAN'T???

Yup, at least not [b]yet[/b]. Yet is a keyword here. I'm guessing the infrastructure online mode and checking for the pass is the reason for the game having problems, but don't quote me on that.

Some games are unavailable to play. PSP/PSP2/PSP2i seems to have trouble. Things change in firmware updates, as the few firmware updates Vita has had has increased emulator compatibility.

Like Takao said. Although the truth is, the only game added so far was Criminal Girls and it was unavailable because of some kind of a sound glitch.
