I pre-ordered today at the local Vita Hill Club.
For $299 I got the entire "firstsies" packages, plus an extra $10 PSN card they were giving out with pre-orders. So, all in all, I get a free game, $10 PSN money, the free month of 3G, and a 3G/Wifi Vita for $299.
Not bad.
Oh, and I came in 2nd place in a Wipeout tournament, which won me a $25 PSN card. These cards will come in handy in a few weeks.

Posting here for initial color and game-related theme requests.
So sleek! How about a Dreamcast one?
Maybe you could start a PSV theme thread and have Archnemesis link to it.

The USB cable connects directly to the power brick to charge it. It's true that it won't charge through USB off of a laptop or something like that, but I don't see why something like he linked wouldn't work.

Why not buy this with the usb charging adaptor instead.

Sure. I suppose no one will gripe if the next XBox drops BC for XBox 1 games... unless you bought then through Games on Demand.
Enjoy, folks. Just hope Sony can keep track of that purchase history for you for at least as long as you want access to them. For my PSP collection, Vita is not backwards compatible.
Dont you mean 900
I can't find the picture but it does look good but I believe it was suggest to turn off binlinear filtering
Presumably because it's not a simple port. They've been working on it for a while. They're an indie dev consisting of, i believe 6(!) people. I doubt they can afford to give it away for free.
Nah i meant the Official Sony one which doesn't have a release date yet
Is that the same as this one?
Was taken from Engadgets Review and was wondering if this meant that the Vita shipped with a USB cable that plugs into the charger or is the charger a standalone one like on the PSP?
I don't want to buy a USB cable and find it comes with one.

I believe they have a trade in deal that will net you $25 more if you trade in a 3DS towards a Vita. Maybe someone can confirm that.
Sucks if true, I might be a case that the Vita need more current that the USB can supply normally (like the iPad 2). Some motherboard manufacturers offer apps for higher powered USB slots, might be handy.
You could use your phone charger either, the one that came with mine is rated for 5V 1A so I hope it will work fine otherwise I'll be running out for a German travel adapter.

seriously stfu dude; we get it you, don't like the 32GB memory card but do you have to bring it up every damn post? it's becoming really irritating, you might not think it's a good deal but it actually is
4GB: $5 per GB
8GB: $3.75 per GB
16GB: $3.75 per GB
32GB: $3.125 per GB
in the ~4 years I've been on GAF you are now the very first person I've ever put on my ignore list

the one in your pic is just the ac adapter, the other one is a portable charge
they give $100 for the 3DS
Gamestop has more sense than that.
Probably depends on the terms if someone can make one without their help. When Sony Japan asked for accessory suggestion, a UMD drive came out on top.
So it does come with a USB cable in the box?
Vita comes with the USB cable, yes. You use the USB cable to recharge, and transfer files.
I'm kind of honored, in a way. First time I've been put on ignore.
Okay okay, I've had my fun, I'm done. I already knew the 32gb was the best 'value' of the whole lot of lemons.
I think I've finally decided on my launch day (22nd) purchases.
WiFi Vita
8GB card
Virtua Tennis - Amazon bundle, pre-ordered
Fifa - Deposit paid
Uncharted - Deposit paid
Case, probably the Thrustmaster one
Day one - £333 ($526) I just noticed the total price in pounds and I like that number lol.
Shinobido or Wipeout may be week 1 purchases depending on reviews.

No, Gamestop will just continue to screw developers and publishers by selling used Vita software for $5 off the new price, while Sony overcompensates and sells you PSP games for $30-$40 forever as if software prices shouldn't depreciate over time.
I'm sorry but the "used software hurts the industry" concern officially does not apply to the hardware and software generations left behind.
Therefore, I actually wish Gamestop would partner with someone and make one.

Mine lineup is:
Non-3G Vita
32GB card
Case, haven't decided on which one yet.
Lumines, Rayman Origins as downloads.
I've got my eye on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 but I'd like to read some feedback on it first.

Pretty excited for this launch. I am SO ready for a new Hot Shots Golf and Stardust! They kind of seem like lame games to buy a system for, but i don't care. Also going to pick up Wipeout, really enjoyed Pure/Pulse/HD.

alright you earned your way off my ignore list (checked your post from Chrome where I wasn't logged in)
sorry about lashing out like that, in between the Giants winning the Super Bowl and checking the thread on my phone to see you continuously pretty much saying people like me planning on getting the 32GB stick and First Edition bundle were suckers becoming really grating on my nerves
Yes, and that includes the promo that gives you an additional $25 when you trade your 3DS (or DS/PSP) towards a Vita. According to their website, tomorrow seems to be the last day of the promo.

if only your 3DS virtual games were tied to your account and not the system...

I'm grabbing Katamari and Hot Shots as my launch games, so I'm right there with you. I've also got Phantasy Star Portable 2 downloaded to my PS3 ready to transfer, so my life will be pretty complete waiting for Amazon deals and trade ins and GameStop.
Still curious on how easy/hard it is to switch out memory cards.
they have it listed as a PSP game. i don't know what happened there.
Gamestop isn't in Japan, and in the US a UMD drive add-on would go over like a wet fart.
The Vita has potential problems, but UMD BC isn't one of them.
It's all good. I have a
First Edition bundle
Ha ha, just stand at one side and watch how things pan out if you don't want to partake in the exercise. It's driven by market forces in the end.
I've heard great things about Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. I've been looking forward to it ever since seeing the first trailer for this bad boy.
it really comes down to if you'll be using the 3G or not and who knows what game(s) will make use of the GPS.

Just had extensive time with the Gravity Daze and Uncharted demo. Whoa, just feeling the thing in person is amazing. The screen is definitely iPhone 4s/Galaxy Nexus quality, and the sticks while a bit awkward at first were definitely the best addition. Everyone has seen the OS at this point on youtube; those videos don't do it justice though. The OS is very smooth, and Sony should put it on some of their cellphones just to test consumer response to it because it is amazing. The OS is actually "fun" to use. iOS and Android to me the OS is user friendly but the charm isn't really there like the Vita, and I wouldn't be surprise if it was on a phone that it catches the attention of the general public. I liked it more than Windows Phone at least. Uncharted looks amazing on the screen too, and those Youtube videos and any screenshots doesn't do the game justice at all.
My feeling about the console experience not being for the general audience still stands, but most of GAF and especially myself will probably love the damn thing. I want Sony to really succeed with this device, I just wonder if the demographic for this type of device is really big enough for Sony.

I'm also on the fence with this one. I'm a huge uncharted fan, but the $50 price tag really turns me off. I think ill snatch it up at first price drop. Hell, I think I'd even grab it in some kind of a full price + gift card deal.
Sounds like the RedSunGamer stream form launch day. looking...
NOOOOOOOOOoo
EDIt: this one from a gaffer shows MonHun comparisons on the PSP and Vita
