Not sure. The FEB might be available off the shelf in a few stores but I think it is mostly a preorder item. I'm curious to see the availability myself.
Same here. I suddenly feel strange. Sick, almost. *cough*

I definitely appreciate the lo-fi, black and white look but how does the game measure up on the Vita screen? Native res and solid 30fps?
Just the First Edition Bundle in NA. The regular 3G and Wifi models aren't available until next Wednesday.

I just ordered a Vita on amazon but I've got one probably very stupid question, are all the retail games available for download on PSN?
Yea, same here..I m supposed to get it in 1h, yay
If you're trying to use an existing PSN account, then don't.
Say you don't want to and it'll create a "guest account". When the set up is done, go do the firmware update, and then just log in with your PSN account.
This question is going to be asked so much in the next 2 weeks.
Too bad Sony didn't ship the western Vitas with the new firmware already installed.
Yes, all retail games are available on PSN

All this negative news is starting to piss me off. Not even 14k sales this week in Japan. Come on Sony, do something! It's the best handheld ever released for crying out loud!

Awesome, thanks. The wait until tomorrow is going to be rough.
Every game should be available on PSN the same day as it is in shops yes.
When I called my Best Buy last night they said it was preorder only, and if I didn't preorder I couldn't get one until "the 26th." Target's website says the FEB isn't sold in stores. I might run over to Wal Mart on my lunch break since I don't have anything else to do and see what's crackin'. Maybe I'll get lucky.
Yep! All retail games on PSN are discounted too, around 10%

Good thing I canceled my order of the physical games.
This is false.
On the Vita store right now, only Sony, Ubisoft, and Aksys games are discounted.
EA, Capcom, and Codemasters are full price.
So this means that the discount is optional and up to the publisher.
Sony and Ubisoft games are 10%.
BlazBlue (from Aksys) is $5.
Maybe it will be fixed like Uncharted was, but I doubt it.
Looks fantastic. This isn't remotely close to an Echochrome scenario. Someone else will have to confirm the native res thing tho.
Physical games load slightly faster, however. Uncharted gains a good 4-5 seconds when played from the retail card as opposed to the download version.
I suppose it's pretty minor, but it's something to consider.
Okay. That worked. What a stupid way of doing things.

I wonder if I should buy 3 Vita games next week through the Target sale or just wait for the prices to drop. It probably won't take long, will it?
For launch games, as people said, yea.
But Sony also promised this with the PSP-Go, and failed to deliver PSN negotiations on a number of titles. Hopefully they will actively try to avoid Birth by Sleep situations.
Thanx as long as it's fun and enjoyable, I'm fine with it.

I hope EA, Capcom and Codemasters burn in hell for that. Terrible, terrible decision for the future. Digital discount bye bye we go.

I can save you the trouble and tell you it's $19.99 on the US store. The only other way to check PSP prices is through Media Go on the PC.
There is a slight chance that it could be a mistake. Like what happened with Uncharted. But I doubt it.

Thanks Frequency!
Sony should just pay publishers the same as they'd get selling at retail. The rest gets donated to gamestop. Then perhaps EA etc would charge more reasonable prices. At the moment its free money, why would they choose not to take it?

Because almighty publishers are pussies when it comes to one chain of brick & mortar stores.
Haha. I don't want to know.

I think someone asked a few pages ago if the following was possible:
That's too bad, I hope they do a firmware update for this. After all, they're connecting to the same service and the friends are the same.

Is it possible, using a PS3, to transfer all data on a memory card to a new one or will something be lost? I was hoping to get a 32GB memory card at Best Buy with some gift cards I had, but they said nothing Vita related will be available there until the 22nd.
I ordered one overnight from Amazon, but it won't be here until tomorrow. Not a huge deal if I lose anything since it's just one day, but I'm curious.

When the games start coming out, the sales will come. Believe.

Insane For Sony
I called Future Shop (Canada) and the guy told me to just come in and buy it. I asked him, if he's sure, he said Yes. Best Buy guy gave me a detailed explanation of why I cannot do that - "It's just for preorders, even if you order it online (I told him they have 1 available for online order) with the in-store pickup, it just won't work, it won't ring until 22.Feb" he said. So who knows, I have a feeling the guy at FS is mistaken but I'll give it a try
Just wait on the Monster Hunter reveal and watch the magic happen.
Unless it's now a 3DS exclusive series, then we're boned.

How can do crossplay in WO without being able to see if your friends are online or they are not. weird.
