Ohh great i wanted EG to check it after all the praise it got but price was too high 
Hopefully a sign of things to come. Especially if they sell well at that price.

I want to confirm if it's officially a price cut or not but don't want to ask in case Sony actually screwed up XD
There was an interview before the Vita came out where someone at Sony said that they'd be matching pricing to consumer response. Where if they found people weren't willing to pay £30+ for games, they're adjust their model to bring them closer to app-store prices, or something.
I wish I could find it now.

Yeah, wouldn't be a first. Everybody's Golf at that price is an incredible bargain though. Such a damn good game. Difficulty spikes up pretty dramatically later on in the game but there's so much to do that you should be able to get dozens of hours of fun out of the game before worrying about that stuff. The daily tournament stuff is so well implemented too. You can jump straight to them from the LiveArea and not worry about bullshit splash screens or anything.

Splash screens feel that much more annoying on a portable device. Should be skippable in every game.
Fuck yeah! I already own the titles I want from that selection but this is a great precedent for sales pricing.
At £11.99, there are a lot of titles that I'd impulse buy that I'd never buy at £30.
Couldn't agree more. If this keeps up I'll have no choice but to buy a 32GB card. You hear me Sony?

Tried to buy EG and Modnation but I always got an error so it seems those deals are just a mistake.

They hear the desperate squeal of your wallet, and they rejoice.

Bah, Sony doesn´t want my money.
Bought EG like five seconds ago, all worked fine. Downloading now.
It's nice to see how buying something from Vita store is much easier than it is on PS3; you don't have to go past half a dozen windows and popups before stating to download a game, you just need to confirm once and you're good to go.
PS3:
- Buy
- Confirm
- "Not enough money in your wallet lolol, do you want to add some?"
- Yes
- "Please wait"
- "Founds added to your wallet"
- Confirm purchase
- "Please wait"
- Download
Vita:
- Buy
- Confirm
- Download

BOSS
They need to dump the stupid Wallet system.
:lol
Yes, and also the 5 euros/dollars minimum, at least on Vita store (between minis and little games and DLCs like Table Top, Frobisher, etc. is a dumb move to have that restriction)
Zen Studios announces KickBeat exclusively for PS Vita.

I have a feeling this was already announced in some capacity, but there's a trailer after the link. It looks interesting.

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like it does have search functionality...it's just weird.
The PS3 is not like that with the "Buy Now" option or whatever it's called.
Meh, it's just to cover credit card fees. Most places do it.
Yesh ! Mission Accomplished.
Next time you see a great game, you tell me. ^_^
The only genre I don't like is horror. I bet scary games won't deliver well on Vita. Screen may be too small, and audio too soft (Muahahaha).

I don't know, apparently Corpse Party is quite nice on the Vita. Can't think of anything else, though. Yet.
Japanese horror

neither. visual novel
The wallet system isn't the problem it's how it's being used for the PS3 that's a problem. You look at stuff like the iTunes store and Steam to see how a wallet's better handled.
... And the comic's out of date, it really was rancid at that point in time (bought Tekken on my brother's PS3), but nowadays the store's respectable. Maybe not THE best, but in ways I prefer it to the XBLM, though that has the giant advantage of letting me get stuff on my PC and pass on using the console entirely for purchasing.
Yet even that isn't fully accurate. Wyrdwad likened it to an RPG without battles, which is most apt. If you like visual novels though or are intrigued by them you may like this, or if you would prefer something more along the lines of JRPG visuals/controls instead of just reading and menu based everything.
Not at all, where is the advertisement? Why i need to get this information from gaf instead of from the playstation blog?

It's an adventure game.
Even then, they won't 'get it' until I can go from GAF to sonystore.com or whatever, and click buy.

Not my fault.
I quite like it, and i'm not a massive fan of horror games.
lol. I have already adjusted my expectation downwards a few notches. I'm just curious at this point.
Koroviev

It's not a bad game, but it's techincally horror. I tried to warn you.
You're off the hook. ^_^
I'm curious mainly because people can't seem to agree on its genre. That and the high score.

its a good game and is classified as adventure/horror like said above. I consider it more visual novel but thats me XD.
youll enjoy it its a nice game and worth the asking price

It's supposed to be pretty cool. Just make sure that you're rolling saves and playing with headphones on. Game has great audio and the blacks look excellent on the Vita screen.
It looks good, but for an awesome example of PSP on Vita, try Strikers 1945 Plus. Incredible good image quality.
Pun intended?
All that trailer made me want is a Legend of Korra game from CyberConnect2.
That's a steal. I've plowed loads of hours in to that game and still go back. Daily Tourney's are worth it alone.
Koroviev

Yeah, it was really apparent in Persona 2.
Absolutely. Was worth it at £30, it's a steal at £12.
