I think the HW should put the Vita easily over the top. The games are certainly debatable though but I would still give the edge to Vita if only by a small margin.

I see what you did thar Flunkie :p

Is it not true though? I'd pay good money for one, as far-fetched as it may be.

There aren't even 50 people in that picture dude...

lol...yeah some fanboys here are a little too excited thinking that line is massive and all. Hopefully it is a success and that it does well...which will make it more viable for 3rd party developers.

I'll be going to the midnight launch. I haven't missed a midnight launch on a Sony system since the PS1. The people are usually pretty nice to talk to.

Will 8GB be enough just to save games and download demos? Not planning on buying PSP or VITA digital games. I have the opportunity to change my 8GB for a 16GB but I would rather expend the money on another game.

If you have a vita please add me to your Friends list, my psn friends list is severely lacking and it makes me feel like I'm missing out on some of the experience

Nope. Estimated delivery is tomorrow for me!
Fuck, I hope that's the case for me. Waffled a lot on the protector, but ended up doing it when it was in the Gold box (even though it's about 35 cents off) and it quickly entered "shipping soon". Hoping for the best there!

By the way: have ANY Vita games come with manuals or at least a sheet beyond the online passes? As long as the Dungeon Hunter crap isn't common place I can probably live without, especially if I can pause a game freely to look at it like on Wii/3DS, but it'll still be vaguely disappointing if the cases are barren.
 
You can already get the Playstation Vita for $194, free shipping, no tax.

Well, it's actually $244 but you get a free $50 giftcard with that purchase and they will be selling the 16gb memory card for about that much (or you can just pickup a game with that gift card).

I bought one. They're sold out, so I had to call them to order it. They said they will ship the item out when their next supply comes in.

GAME aren't competitive with anything anymore. Only reason to go would be the atmosphere, lol

Yeah.... It's bizarre that they are not even bothering to compete with HMV up the road anymore, every launch they go blow for blow up to launch with them.

I stopped in to say hi to the early queuers, some of them were quite nice.
Staff outside asked if I wanted to pre-order and I tried not to laugh.
 
Bought all DD games so far-

HSG
WipEout
Lumines
SSD

Renting all others. I NEED those games though. Renting U:GA first, then rayman, then fifa.

Going all DD for must haves and renting the rest.

With the money I saved, I could easily double dip on some of them or simply buy more games. =)
 
Also, Target is now doing their buy 2 get 1 free sale online...

http://slickdeals.net/f/3976486-Tar...d-vita-39-99-b2g1-free-w-Resistance-included?

Use this link to knock another $5 off the total...

The best part, they are selling Uncharted for $39.99, so you can buy 3 Uncharteds for $74.99.

The second best part, for whatever reason, they have Resistance: Burning Skies included in the buy 2 get 1 free sale.

So you can order it and when they realize the game won't be out till May, can swap it for Gravity Daze or Rayman Origins or something later on.

Picked up Virtua Tennis 4, Uncharted and Resistance: Burning Skies for $74.99 + $5 tax.

I just wish they stocked Rayman Origins and Gravity Daze as well. I would happily spend another $80 for Rayman + Gravity Daze + (insert game here).

I had some problems over the night with my debit card; the timing being perfect to ruin my Amazon order. I was able to sort it out. Those Amazon guys are amazing people.

So, I'm back to this thread! Tomorrow, I'm getting my Vita for sure!

If you have a Target card, get an additional 5% off and free shipping too.
 
It just sssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!
 
I hear ya and it was a hard choice but one thing I disliked about my psp was that I had to haul around disks. Realize the cart is tiny but its still there.

I think given the size of the games, and you're likely to have a case, I think the PSP aspect is sorta irrelevant. You can easily carry a ton of games without adding any bulk with most cases. My DS case was tiny and I always had like 15 to 20 games on me.
 
I'm so disappointed that SFXT was delayed. It was going to be THE game for me, as I don't have access to my consoles right now and PC version was delayed two months.

Also, the Target site doesn't have Ninja Gaiden :(
