I might pick it up. I'm very curious about the port. It looks great in the videos we've seen, but those videos were all recorded at 30 fps. The question here is obviously whether it actually runs at 60 fps or not.

I have a feeling it's going to be 30, though. :(



no way will it be 30. i'd be very pissed

I have one serious doubt. Let's suppose I buy one 4Gb card, download like 5 games and then, the card gets full. I want more games but I don't have space, can I delete one game I have to play a new one and then download it again as many times as I want in the future?
Based on how PSN has worked on PS3 and PSP, I'd say yes. You can re-download PSN games as many times as you want. Every indication we have suggests that this works fine.

I'd be very surprised if Team Ninja could pull off a US launch title at 60 fps on a new platform these days. Every NG game since Ninja Gaiden 2 on 360 has had an unstable framerate. The videos of Sigma Vita are completely free of tearing, however, unlike the PS3 version which makes me think they locked it down at 30 fps.

Pretty sure you can redownload games you've bought, if that's what you're asking.

Being honest though I don't think it's worth my time since I still has to pay 15 for the 3G something I don't even want

Thats how I felt too until I did the math.

Its either 15 bucks for 2 months 3G + SSD + DLC

or

15 bucks for SSD + DLC

Since the 3G is month to month, no contracts, theres really no harm is trying it out for 2 months. The only real drawback is having to wait 30 days for SSD but I can do that.

Future shop has failed me.

First time I am pre-ordering online, its now February 15 and it still has not been sent out!

I was actually able to "pre-order" another one this morning and select in store pick-up so I can go down at 10 AM and pick this thing up!

Then when my mailed one gets here I guess I will resell it or just return it for refund.

Yeah I can see how it is worth it but I'm just not going to use it. I live at school and the entire campus is wifi.

Sorry for the comment, went to an all guy high school, it's a bad habit I picked up

Solidarity, my gamer brother. Still a pretty decent bundle you got.

You can just return your delivered one for a refund in store. I've had to do that before.

I'm typically fairly tolerant of lower fps numbers, but this is on game in which the speed is part of the experience. I'd be disappointed if it dropped to 30 as well.

I know IGN is suppose to post a review tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what they say. I'd love to grab Uncharted, Ninja Gaiden, and Hot Shots at Target this weekend though.
 
Any dead pixels? Or do OLED screen no suffer from that? With PSP launch it was really like a lottery, now I'm pre-ordering online so cannot look at my system before it gets here.
 
Ordering a vita only makes me regret now getting all those games on UMDs instead of PSNs. Especially since i didn't do it for lack of memory or good deals, but because i like pretty boxes. I am thinking those pretty vita cases i got for the games at launch will be the only games i'll be getting boxed.

Damn. I think i am going to double dip on peace walker. and tactics ogre. There better not be a vita remake of peace walker!!

I can't wait to go pick mine up in an hour! Is there a psn account name thread or something? This'll be my first console that has a psn attached to it.

Yeah that stinks, but just return the mailed-in one using the receipt for the one you picked up in-store. Should be quick and painless.
 
Out for delivery!! So excited. Come on work day hurry up

Same here!

The MGS collection title screen on Vita does have Peace Walker noticeably absent. Mashes you wonder if they'll just push the DD version of the PSP game or a separate, new version.

I would bang a hot farmer!
10:05 and Best Buy still won't answer the phone. I don't want to drive there if my Vita isn't ready. :(

Man, oh man, today is a sweet day.

Got my work bonus, which was well over 3K, my raise hit last pay period, so I'm looking at a nice bump in salary, and my Vita shows Out For Delivery!

My 32gb card is out for delivery. Waiting for it to get to my office. My FEB sits, waiting for me at EB games. Two hours until I get my hands on it. Then I have to wait another three until I can really dig in.

If this is true, which some people are saying it is, it's one of the stupidest promotions ever. Seriously.

That's just because Kojima has been tweeting snapshots of the Japanese version, and in Japan they always released Peace Walker HD separate from MGS2 and 3, which was branded Metal Gear Solid HD Edition as opposed to 'HD Collection.'

That's ridiculous, it's not like you can scam them once you've activated the pass is it?

Im not sure why theyre doing that either. You sign up for a month, you pay them for that month, you should get your free game since you already paid. The 30 day wait makes sense for the free 3G month because you have to wait until the paid for month has been exhausted -- but the free game? It doesnt make sense.

I cant complain too much though. Its still a free game that I really want. I just have to wait for it now.

Do the levels get really indepth in terms of complexity and inventiveness with the environment compared to the simplistic stuff that was demoed?

Only about 25 levels in, but yes, the puzzles are getting harder. Lil and larg are funny dudes to play with.
 
I won't be able to get Vita on Wednesday, but that's ok - Monday to Wednesday next week I travel on business, so only "two" more days till I get my hands on my Vita.
