I still don't know if I should get the vita at launch or not. I should be able to play valkyria chronicles 2 on it right? And 3 if it gets localized?

Gonna pre order that ASAP then. Or maybe I will call to see if that will be in store.
Pfft, believe what you want, but Iphones scratch very easily.
Yeah, it's on there
Do you use the full-front body Hori screen protector or the Sony one that only covers the screen?

How many times can I re download a vita game on PSN?
I would hope unlimited like on iOS

no, no they don't.
Oh crap, I need to read carefully. Thanks.
I was considering the Hori over the Sony, because having the edges of the screen protector visible kinda sucks when the screen almost seamlessly blends into the body of the unit.
As long as you don't exceed 2 PSPs/Vita activations. But you can deactivate via their online account management site once a year.
But yes, you could redownload unlimited times.
You can redownload it as many times as you like, but you can only have 2 portable systems (PSV/PSP) and 2 PS3's tied to your account at any given moment. If you want to play the game on a 3rd portable/PS3 system you'll need to deactivate one of the first 2 systems.
They don't get the big scratches without effort but they do get cosmetic scratches, and if you like a perfect screen, they are a pain in the ass to keep from getting any scratches. The iphone only has a scratch resistant coating, it isn't scratch proof and it isn't gorilla glass.
I've thought about the Hori as well, but if people have issues just putting a simple one down, I don't want to see how much trouble they have trying to line up the buttons and analog sticks with a dry application screen protector.

No screen protector on my phone here. Got a Samsung Focus with gorilla glass, and it's pretty hard to scratch unless your actively trying to. Plus Gorilla Glass 2.0 was announced at CES which provides just as much protection with a thinner lighter piece of glass which should allow for more response.
I'll fully admit until I had a phone with it I thought it was some BS marketing stuff. Now that I have it and use it everyday it's like some mystical voodoo I want on all of my devices.

Yes, it is. Apple is Cornings largest customer for GG.

I really couldn't care less about scratches anymore. I was super anal about my iPad when I first bought it but it's now covered in small scratches. With the screen on, you'd be hard pressed to find one of 'em.
I have Katamari ordered.
And Ridge Racer, Ben 10 game.
after listening to 8-4, I wanna play katamari lol.
I never played one from the get go

So are all games going to be available via DD? I want to grab Katamari and Hot Shots right away. Probably going to get the system preordered on Monday.

I've owned every iPhone. Never had a scratch, cosmetic or otherwise, on my screen. On the back of the older models yes, but never on the screen. And I don't baby my phones. They're in my pocket with my keys. Dropping them on the ground is probably a nightmare, but I've yet to do that.
it says in steve jobs' biography that the iphone uses gorilla glass.
Application eems simple enough:

That's funny. I never saw the point in getting screen protectors for tablets. No scratches on my ipad 2 and I've had it since last august. Do you throw yours into a bag or backpack without a case?
I'm still on the fence about getting a screen protector for the Vita. Not sure if I'll need it. The only times when I think I could scratch the screen is when wiping it. larger specs of dust scare me.
Yup.
I'm not interested in the launch titles and PSP2 is no longer on PSN so I'm about to cancel this.FU Sega
Can anyone please give me a reason why I should buy this now instead of summer?
Why would anybody buy a console with no games they want?
this. PASS
Nice launch bundles? It's the only way I'd get a 3G, but they might well throw nicer deals out later anyway.

Wait till summer
Its performance in Japan and the 3DS situation are other things to factor in if you're not sold on the launch lineup. If it doesn't fare better internationally we could have another price cut situation on our hands. Right now I'd stay far away just to see how it performs if there's not already something drawing you to it besides shiny new toy lust.

Loser slave of the system :(
I doubt Sony is in the right position to cut the price as drastically as Nintendo has and in such a short period of time. If things are bad, they'll weather the storm for at least a year.
Vita has a way better launch lineup though. At least if we're still talking about why would you buy this now.
Yeah, that makes sense.
There's also the angle of WANTING the launch lineup games... but not too much. If Gravity Daze were at launch it'd be open and shut case, that's a game I'd REALLY like to play, but everything that's out there I'm interested in is either not a series I've typically been THAT big of a fan for (Uncharted, Wipeout), or are ports that either will be cheaper elsewhere or I already waited quite awhile on anyway (Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Rayman Origins). Seems more practical to give an extra few months, let the stuff I REALLY want come out, then grab those along with hopefully cheaper launch titles.

Mines been on my PSP for over 5 years. Hori is top quality. The same one is still on mines.
That's how I feel too. I think Vita's launch (and launch window) lineup is impressive in that a lot of the games seem pretty decent, there's a lot of variety, and they're all hitting around the same time, but very few of them are games I would otherwise rush out to buy. From a purely minimalist standpoint there's maybe 3 or 4 launch window titles I absolutely must have at some point, but even out of those there's only one (Gravity Daze) that I feel an overwhelming desire to play ASAP. Then there's quite a few other ones I wouldn't mind checking out to pad out my library, but honestly if there are better games out by the time I get a Vita I might not even revisit any of those.
When the Vita was announced and my hype was at maximum I felt almost obligated to get one at launch and buy all the games I even kind of wanted, but thankfully for my wallet I've come down from that pre-E3 hype/post-E3 high. I'll be getting a Vita at some point because I buy every platform (and I can't wait for Gravity and Ys IV), but I'm just not feeling the "force myself to buy stuff just to showcase on my shiny new hardware" bug I had a few months ago.

What cases are you guys getting?
Hori's front case cover for me. It's very reminiscent of Logitech's playgear case for the PSP
I think I'm going to stick with the pouch, some of the cases seem too bulky.
Has everyone already posted what games they're getting with their Vitas?
since when did any iphone use gorilla glass? those things shatter at the slightest bump.
I think they've always used it. Which is why I always wonder how my friends end up shattering their screens. Particularly everyone with a 3GS.
Edit: Oh nevermind. Apparently Apple uses their own type of glass. No wonder.
GG isn't shatter proof anyway its just very hard to scratch compared to other materials.
On the flip side, I bounced my DHD from about 4ft the other day with no problems because its got a plastic screen which flexes. Any glass screened device would almost certainly have shattered because glass doesn't do flexing.
