some companies can and some cant. Like how assassin's creed games price drops pretty fast after launch for the sake of generating more sales. A pack can/will significantly reduce their profit. However, they can regain that with enough sales. Not to mention that porting it to vitas isnt hard or convoluted. That is of course assuming their framework isnt fucked up or their code isnt messy or they are competent (*points at capcom*)

I have one ready to go. Posting it on Wednesday, one week before the western launch.No Vita EU launch thread? New here, so apologies if I've missed out something

Is there a US launch thread? I mean this thread is the launch details, but it's not an official launch thread or anything.
Why? It won't be an |OT| anyway (if I understood the new rules correctly), so why not post it already? Might save us time because the same damn questions are being asked every day since the Japanese release almost 2 months ago.
Post it please, I'd like to know exactly what games are in the launch line-up.
No reason to wait.

Sure, I'll post it later tonight. I'm still waiting for the banner and headers from weekend_warrior.
I'll at least try it out. Pre-ordered the FEB as well. If I don't like it, I'll just give it to my friend. Besides, Wipeout and Rayman will keep me busy if I decide to give it away.
But it's a decent minigame pack.
I'd buy DWN and NG (if you didn't play it yet).
I've never played the series before, but it reminds me of Tenchu.
Are you buying other games with it? If so, maybe let those tide you over while reviews get put out for them.

Just to clarify both 3g and wifi preorders on Amazon get upgraded to the launch bundle with the memory card and all right? I don't want to have to buy the 3g version to get the rest of that stuff.

I thought it was just the 3G pre-order that was being upgraded to the bundle?
you need to buy the 3G version in order to get all the upgrades.

Ah ok thanks.
Looks like RadioShack is selling the Canadian FEB in the US

you should definitively try out the demo if there is one
doesnt say anything about the case and memory stick
Wait, they're basically selling the FEB for $50 cheaper? Do they have a low price guarantee?
EDIT: oh, it's not exactly the FEB, but it does have everything I'd want. It just says Wifi and not 3g, but it does have the memory stick, and little deviants, and does have a date of February 15th. That looks worth considering if they have any kind of release date store pick up, or delivery.
The Elite
BOSS
Mentions the 4GB right in the title.
Doesn't mention the case though.
Edit: It does mention the case. This is definitely the Canadian FEB.
There's one on the Japanese store, hope you guys get all of them too.
Yes:
Memory card in the title:
PlayStation®Vita 4GB Wi-Fi Bundle w/ Little Deviants
Case in the bullet point:
Protect your investment with an exclusive Vita case

What's the last day I can change my 3G launch bundle over to a FEB via Amazon? Thinking about it...

The wait until the 22nd is unbearable.

We've made it this far. I pre-ordered the FEB on Oct. 27, the day they announced it. 10 days is a cake walk.(at least that's what I keep telling myself)

Yup, and I don't think I'll be able to wait, which means I will probably be suckered into that blasted FEB.
I feel sorry for people being suckered into a crappy expensive bundle just to have it early

Yeah, thinking I'll make the change this evening when I get home, haha. I don't want to wait!

Hahahahaahahahahahaha.
I've seen that gif many times on this board never was it put to better use. Kudos, Chubigans.
Edit: It's like the coach just told him "sorry kid, First Edition Bundles for allstars only. You'll get your wifi with super saver shipping. Saved us $5!!!"
We suckers don't have to wait. We're just choosing a better deal.
....Who am I kidding, I'll probably end up getting the FEB

I thought FFXIII-2 was gonna hold me over until the FEB. But I just beat it. I guess i can go fragment hunting to totally numb my brains.
the wait is bearable for me as I am working
The wait is easy for me considering I still don't have any hype for Vita. If you want to be an easy cheap ass, just avoid looking at any previews for all games and it makes waiting so much easier

Love your bitter tears, plebe.I feel sorry for people being suckered into a crappy expensive bundle just to have it early
FEB master race. :bow
Should I feel sorry for people who had to wait 2 months since the Japanese release then?
I am getting other games, but I was thinking of doing a live stream on both the 15th and the 22nd. So I want to get as many games as possible to show off.
But it's a decent minigame pack.
I'd buy DWN and NG (if you didn't play it yet).
I remember DJmizuhara going gaga over DWN when it came out in Japan.
Fingers crossed for the demo being there day 1.
Demos rock and I really hope we get as many demos as the JPN store. I have high hopes there will be a Rayman Origins demo to help sell it.
