Yeah they all look pretty terrible in my opinion. That thrustmaster shows promise though.

What makes the pill even tougher is that Sony and some other publishers raised the prices of PSN PSP games in the past two weeks.
I'm already thinking about my next project ! Like mounting Vita on a sentry gun platform to defend my vegetable garden against rodents, stray cats and birds.

Welcome Park is pretty neat. Some things are hit or miss in terms of fun but the music maker has been silly and enjoyable. I got a mad tune going now with my sounds lol
Where is it? I don't see it on their site.

Capcom raised the price of Freedom Unite (LOL), and didn't discount Vita titles. Never change, Capcom!
Right?!
She - the system - has a phat ass. There's no getting around it. But I don't need a case that zips or has pockets for shit I don't plan on carrying with me in the first place. Something that protects the console when I'm not using it (and ideally doesn't smell) and is compact enough to throw in a bag is all I need.
The slip-on PSP like case is the only thing that comes close to that, but I prefer the hard clam shell of the VIP.

When they make an official announcement for this, I'm going to be <3 <3 <3
Gotta ask again, but has anyone played DJ Max 3 on their Vita yet? How does it feel with the buttons?

Spent some time last night trying to get the trophies in Welcome Park. I don't think I'll ever be able to get the Digit Chase under a minute or the puzzle ones (I'm bad at those picture puzzles u.u). It is well made though.
Forever stuck at 42%.
the puzzle one was tough. You need some luck, and I used the number panels to make it easy.

Yeah, and they didn't just raise the price. They doubled that motherf*cker.

Great device that's worth the money if you're interested in any of the games on it. Minor annoyances here and there but nothing that would make it not worth buying.

Much love and generally a great system.

That seems to be the indication based on the Amazon listing and recent PR.

Lots of love, quality of the hardware is amazing. A bit of "launch goggles" on like with every system. The games are pretty good for a system launch but will be looked back on as average. Still everyone thats bought one early seems to be happy with there purchase. We will see in 6 months if its just a honeymoon or if its a lasting feeling.

I just wish Gravity Rush had better resolution/AA, then the visuals would have been perfect. But I still love it. I really hope it release in March in US
Hold on how do you have it in English?
Phenomenal hardware and an amazingly wide lineup. Shop around and you'll be able to find some great deals (free gift cards, memory cards, games, etc).

In 6 months I will have accumulated Gravity Rush, Little Big Planet, Sound Shapes and Resistance, I think I will be happy still. Plus I am sure there is a lot more to come, E3 will be interesting.
I think there's an english demo on the EU PSN store?

So MHFU went up in price again? :| That sucks...I guess it's good I've got Gods Eater Burst to keep me busy for a while. And that Technika info is amazing. I definitely will import that one, ha.

They've got me quoted cheap at just one pound ($1.60 Canadian).
I'm expecting to take a small hit with customs/duties on the order but shouldn't be too bad.
I don't think there's anything inherently inferior about the rear touch compared to the front touch screen. It's just a matter of not being able to see where we're prodding back there.
Maybe it's something we'll all get used to, or maybe not. I've put 4-5 hours into Little Deviants and I'm still terrible at that ball-rolling game.
Ah, okay. I skipped the demo completely and just went straight for the full game.

A few things to tide people over that are waiting for next week.
My first NEAR discovery/GIFT
Friends lists and their respective panels
Love panels
The music player, yipee?
Group messaging
Minor complaint, you can set it only to as low as 15 minutes intervals to receive messages. Otherwise you can refresh which is easy but I want the option to receive messages immediately.
PS Store DL list

That happened on PS3 too, pretty sure it was that way with Wipeout. If you buy the game you just get an unlock key to unlock the demo.
Nice if you do end up buying the game so you don't have to download another huge file, but a waste of time and bandwidth to try the demo if you don't.

Good luck with getting it for launch day. Play are awful at getting hardware pre orders delivered for launch. I hope all you play customers do receive it on the day but just pre warning you.

Had the same problem. The trick to it is to enter *everything* *exactly* like it's printed on your CC statement. Name, address, uppercase/lowercase all need to match 1:1 your printed statement. They have a very rigid validity check for some of the credit cards. The other option is to try a different card.
yea I heard there is one in HK store. I got it from KR store.
I actually love the back touch in that game.
Having played a bunch of Escape Plan, I actually think one of the closest comparisons I could make is to "The Neverhood". It has the same room by room progression that requires you to manipulate the environment in order to proceed. Both games also feature heavily stylized art direction (though The Neverhood is in a league of its own with amazing claymation work).
Escape Plan is definitely cool, though, and really looks great on the Vita screen as a result of the high contrast between white and black.
I'm at room 20+ in the game (I think ! Lost count somewhere). The control is sensitive and accurate, including the back touch. The "difficulty/challenge" is mostly due to external factors like uninterruptible animation (e.g., tapping on Lil while it falls down, or hiccup-and-propel-through-the-level probably won't register), or level design, or lack of explanation.
You should read the digital manual before starting the game. It gives a good overview of what you can do to Lil and Laarg. I got stuck at room 4 just because I didn't know you could distract the guard(s) by back-tapping the wall.
The game is like a combo of Cut-the-Rope plus "hand" Twister (the floor mat game). You will have to flip/turn the Vita, spread your fingers to handle multiple things. I don't find it offensive, but let's see if I grow to hate the game when I'm done. ^_^
For now, I kinda like the game.

I'm excited about this!! Hype!
I'm considering buying a larger mem card since 8gb isn't going to last me.

Since when? I have always got mine on the launch date from Play. Don't get me wrong their delivery times are slow for normal items but pre-order's have always turned up either early or on-time for me. Still, it appears you have had a bad time with them.
I am just waiting for Sony to ring me about when I can expect my Vita prize, hoping it's early next week!

Show me a launch thread on this forum where a fair number of people did not seem happy with their purchase.
