No one knows yet. So far the only PSN game confirmed to be $15 is Plants vs Zombies.

They're charging $15 for PvZ?!
el oh el...jesus.
Physical UMD has to be less than half that price. Perfect example of a title that they're willing to let rot on the digital shelf, then discount and have a potential new customer. Who's to blame for this? Furthermore, who monitors this shit?I wanted to pick up the PSP Soul Calibur but it's $39.99 on PSN - WTF?
wait? how is this possible?!
All of Ubisoft's launch titles were mis-priced on Amazon.co.uk for a few hours. I managed to grab those two, Asphalt Injection and Dungeon Hunter: Alliance for £5.96 each.wait? how is this possible?!
I had to add four titles to avoid the £8 in shipping.I had no option to choose free delivery

Amazon.co.uk had all Ubisoft's launch games for about a fiver a while back. For a few hours, then the prices changed. But they don't appear to have cancelled the orders. I have three of their games ordered at those prices, although I had no option to choose free delivery, and it won't let me change the delivery option now...still, I can't really complain

I cancelled my 16gig memory card preorder. After careful deliberation, I realized that I won't need the card for a while, so there's no need to buy it day one.
I'm buying retail for everything that I can get it on, and the few titles I'm downloading on day one aren't going to eat up my 8 gigs.
Even better, is that instead of paying for an overpriced memory card, I can now purchase two more games for my Vita on day one if I desire. Which games I'm not sure about, though. I'm
3G/Wi Fi Vita: $299.99
Uncharted: GA: $39.99 (Amazon pre-order lock, so no $49.99 for me!)
Rayman Origins: $39.99 (I think it's worth $39.99, and I never bought the console version)
Super Stardust Delta: $9.99 (I'm pretty sure it won't be priced over $15)
Escape Plan: $9.99 (ditto)
Hori Screen Protector: $6.99
Vita case: $19.99 (although I saw a nice cheap one for $6.99; I don't need a big case, because I already have a bag I carry my stuff around it. It's mostly to protect the front and back screen from scratches)
Corpse Party: $19.99
Gladiatory Begins: $9.99
Total: $456.91
I had budgeted to spend about $500-$530 on my Vita, so I still have $70 left over to spend. On what, I have no idea. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards Wipeout and Shinobido 2, but I'm hoping for Gravity Daze to make a surprise appearance around launch. I could easily hold onto the $70 and wait the two weeks for Unit 13 and Gravity Daze to release in March.
I didn't really keep up with Vita stuff for the last couple of weeks.
Do we know how games on PSN will be priced? Should I pre-order on Amazon or will the price difference be significant enough?
What about getting our PSP games on this thing? And news? Didn't they say they'd announce something closer to launch?
Thanks.
Sooo I just realized I bought Fate/EXTRA and Corpse Party like a week ago.
Do I have to pay for it again when I get my Vita?
Is there somewhere I can view the prices of Vita PSP games online?
Ok, I'm definitely back in. As part of my new 1 console in, 1 console out policy, I'm getting rid of my PS3 and slotting in the Vita. It will satisfy any need I might have for Sony franchises, and I wasn't using the PS3 anyway.

PSN games will be playable on your vita.
And no, you need to use mediago to look up prices.

You're givin up your PS3 for a Vita?
k.
FFFFFFUU-
So I have to pay for them again?! I would condone it, but, I can't even transfer my game saves!
Did you buy the games on PSN or UMD? if you bought them on PSN than they will work fine on the Vita.FFFFFFUU-

No, you can just go to your download list (or find the game in the store) and download them from there.FFFFFFUU-

The iPhone/Android versions have no replay value. I would pay $5 for full feature one.This is why I haven't bought a console version of this game yet...only paid $1.50 for the version on my phone. It's just as good as the rest.
He can get a PS3 again in 2013 and catch up.Wow, you're missing some crazy stuff in 2012.

PSP games bought through PSN will work on your vita, no need to rebuy them....
I haven't played a game on it forever. Why keep it?
360 is my main console, and I'm getting back into PC games as well. I'm covered.
@theBishop, what am I missing, besides Last of Us?
I can see why he was confused though. He said that he bought a psp game on psn and asked if he would have to re-buy it with vita, and all you replied with was "psn games are playable on vita." It didn't really answer his question.
Namco Bandai has never price cut or had a sale on their PSN releases.
Will saves carry over for games already downloaded and played on a PSP?
Ridge Racer is €9,99
Why wouldn't you just play games on your iPhone instead?

I don't see why not, what I would suggest is hook your PSP up to the PC or PS3 and there should be a copy option.Ohhh okay. Well I'm obsessive about owning physical media, so yeah I bought UMD Fate/EXTRA. I'm willing to pay for it again though.

The real question is, will I be able to get the game saves I have. Need those desperately lol.
It was asked if he had bought them on PSN or on the PSP, It was mainly waiting for his reply and he did answer. No big deal but it was just needing clarification.I can see why he was confused though.

No one has confirmed for sure but from what I recall from one of the post on the JP thread that got closed. It works without a plan
Phone GPS signals work with no plan.
It is a separate network. If a gps app needed to download data it would not work.
If the maps are in the app or can be cached on wi-fi it could work.
Why not just carry a psp with you as well at that point? It's not like your PSP suddenly explodes when the vita is released.
People are too obsessed with backwards compatibility. I'm not buying a $300 piece of hardware to play old psp games. I already have a psp for that.
Just rebuy the handful of psp games that you simply have to have, and deal with it.
I'll be playing more games on iOS than Vita, for sure. Doesn't mean I shouldn't get one. Or maybe it does, and I'll sell the Vita in disgust in 6 months. Stay tuned! Haha.
Anybody else think the post-launch sales in Japan would have been A LOT better if PSVita had launched with something like this available day-one?
I wrote an article about it on Bitmob.
This PSP game backwards compatibility model is just so frustrating to me, I had to create an entire alternate universe in protest.

Who cares, really? A more relevant article would be to talk about a theoretical alternate reality where Sony managed to advertise the Vita properly and create a buzz around the upcoming western release. That's the biggest problem facing the Vita right now.
Nobody liked UMD, the best thing Sony could do was just drop it. people can still keep their old PSP's to play their UMD games. People would have complained more if the Vita still had a UMD drive.
At least Sony sold their games on PSN too.. so it's not like everything has just been cut off.
I just don't get why you would, especially at the expense of your PS3. If you're not going to treat it as a portable system, why not just play PS3 games instead? If you're not playing your PS3, why do you think you'll play Vita games suddenly?
I don't have to rebuy my PSP catalog. Some of us saw the writing on the wall years ago, and planned ahead. I stopped buying UMDs in like 2009 unless a game was UMD-only.
You use CFW and ISOs, in other words? lol. I feel.
I bought games off of PSN.
