you can definitely get your dungeon crawler fix from it but it is not worth $40. you can basically get the same game on psn for 10 bucks or something like that. i recommend the game highly but not at $40. wait for warrior's lair to get your vita dungeon crawl fix.

2 weeks til First Edition release
Yeah, Gameloft is good for knockoffs on tablets/smartphones (and to a lesser degree the digital services of these systems I'd imagine), but full priced retail software? I'd wait on Ys for an action RPG fix, I'd be amazed if that failed to come here.
I hope so. We are two weeks from launch and still don't know the full digital playbook.

It's two weeks from FE launch and we still don't have all the details.
If I was Sony, I'd want to have something out today. Maybe launch a National ad campaign. Something.
Somewhat creepy AD to get the PSVita a week early (in Europe)

The sony one has been changed to release date delivery. I think I like the sony one better because it only covers the center. Like the Hori it also comes with an application guide that rests on the buttons or d-pad so it's aligned correctly. Only problem I see with the Hori is that it covers the whole front and with the constant mashing of buttons and d-pad it might not hold up in those areas.
First Edition Bundle
Hot Shots
Wipe out
Uncharted
Cant Wait
Would...?
My immediate thought is "I won't be getting this if Amazon don't honour their mis-price".
Seems to be the Euro equivalent to the Taco Bell dealio.
Genuinely rather scared
Played the demo during the campaign and didn't like it at all. Controlled poorly (still better than a phone) and looked like a cheap Diablo knockoff. People who bought the full version (Kyle, aka twentytwo, DCharlie) seem to be quite happy with it though iirc.

Everything you hear about Dungeon Hunter Alliance is true. It's a diablo clone with no real personality of its own. It's kinda cheaply made. Gameloft is a terrible company and the game is overpriced because it is exactly the same thing as the PSN version which is $12.99.
But I have that PSN version and it's also true that it's long, pretty deep and a lot of fun. It's not even close to perfect, and I couldn't imagine giving these assholes $40 for it, but anyone that does will atleast be getting a pretty good game.
It's unfortunate that the game is good, it would be so much easier to hate if it was terrible.

I placed my order on January 1st and I have the same delivery estimate as you. I ordered the $10 regular screen protectors in case my Hori doesn't come in time.....I'm very petty about touch screen products and I need a screen protector to use it.

After some googlizing it seems that the chemical in question, Sodium cyclamate, isn't used in the US.
From the wiki
Carry on Vita pals. I drink 2 liters of coke zero a night and baconsammy freaked me out. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Wait, what if you switch memory cards that have the same PSN account? Please tell me it doesn't require this convoluted process just to change out cards...
The Elite
BOSS
2 liters?
Why?
I think it requires you to reset the system but not do a completely restore of the Vita.
I don't think it is because it sounded like the bigger reason to avoid multiple memory cards was how small they were, but if that really is the case then all the more reason to jump with a 32 GB at the offset.
EDIT: Or the more mild reset, which doesn't sound like a big deal.
Nope, only when switching accounts.

Ok. That would've been a preorder-killer just for the ridiculousness of it.
I hope the Sony store near me has a Vita soon so I can check it out. I'm excited to see what it feels like in my hands.

CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuela's Health Ministry said Friday it banned sales of Coca-Cola Zero because the company failed to declare that the no-calorie soft drink uses an artificial sweetener allegedly harmful to health.
Health officials said tests show the cola contains sodium cyclamate. Coca-Cola Co. disputes that, saying the product sold in Venezuela uses different artificial sweeteners, Acesulfame-K and Aspartame.
Cyclamate is not prohibited in Venezuela. But the ministry said the company failed to report sodium cyclamate as an ingredient in Coca-Cola Zero when it received its initial health permit to begin selling the drink in April.
Coca-Cola is "failing to comply with sanitary norms," the ministry said in a statement published in the newspaper Ultimas Noticias. The ministry urged Venezuelans to refrain from trying the drink, saying it is "considered harmful to the health."
The U.S. prohibits the use of cyclamates in human food because of health safety concerns. Sales of Coca-Cola Zero elsewhere in Latin America have met with resistance over the use of cyclamate.

What the... what's with the off topic stuff?
I felt burned with the 3DS launch window, so that is why I'm weary of buying a Vita on launch. However, I'm seriously considering keeping my preorder due to Ragnarok Odyssey, even if i have to import. Online play with gaffers should keep me busy.

How it worked, at the end? You needed to change card AND account to have content from two different shops? Or it was only necessary to change card OR account?

Sony needs to deliver the goods.
I believe it requires a card reformat, dunno if a third "dummy" one would do the trick or not. Either way I don't think you'll be able to juggle two accounts worth of information on one card.

Speaking of delivering the goods, have they said anything yet about aligning the trophies on Vita and PS3 so that I can check my Vita trophies on my PS3? Microsoft manages to do it day 1 with their phone, yet Sony can't do it? Come on, Sony.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask since the console hasn't shipped yet, but maybe someone who has one here in the states can provide some info.
Whats the general census on the 3G model? Worth it, or no? I've been on the fence about it since I'm unsure of just how much i'll be commuting in the future. How good is online gaming over 3G? I've heard mumbles of it being crap, but really, how much should I believe the guy at Gamestop?

There is no online multiplayer over 3G. Some games support asynchronous MP over 3G, though.
The 3G is basically for people who:
A) Want a 3G connection for the social aspects of the system.
B) Want the comfort of knowing that, when a game inevitably comes out that has the option to use the GPS, they can do that, even without paying for the 3G service. WiFi model has no GPS functionality.
Looking at the features of Disgaea 3 it seems to actually use the GPS positioning, for leveling purposes I believe. So I guess we had one straight from (Japanese) system launch.

I was looking at this bundle over the other 3G bundle with the 4gb card, the carrying case and little deviants for $350..
So basically nothing different than what I use my iPhone for? I completely had the wrong idea about this feature it seems.
Also that tag serves you well..
I love the line up of launch titles over the next month or so from release although I am going to try and be strong and just stick with two titles, Unit 13 and Shinobido 2. Wipeout comes free with our 3G bundle in NZ so that's a nice perk. Just hope Shinobido is good, haven't seen any reviews for it yet.
Unit 13 I will get regardless as I am keen to check out this 'aware' sort of functionality it has with all the leaderboard updates and daily challenges. I really hope it's as great as it sounds and gives us an insight to the possibilities.

There was also Monster Radar (?), which said, on the box, that a 3G-model was optimal.
Thank you, kind sir.
Isn't Unit13 a few weeks behind launch? Sure I've seen the first week of March mentioned.

I am really glad that I got the 3G model now. I will be definitely getting Disgaea 3 and I would be annoyed if I was missing out on stuff.

There's very little reason to get the First Edition bundle over the 3G bundle. You overpay to get it a week early.
