I hate golf and golf sims....Take a guess what one of my favorite psp IP's is.
I was kind of disappointed with the IQ of the game when i got some hands on with it but all the things I love about the game was there so this def day -7 for me!
Densha de Go!?
Or you sleep with them. rub your....nevermind.
Anyway, I called my GS and they said they haven't gotten the games in yet, but they will this week.
The online site has the Sony titles for sale right now.
Dammit, I caved :S! Looks like I'm spending about $450 for launch now.

I had to google that and was all what the tits is this. Train simulators ftw
Im getting the FEB and obviously HSG and decided on virtual tennis as well does anyone know what the PSN size of these titles are?
with the lovely discussion on the UMD program in the US (well lack of) id like to get these through psn and was hoping i can squeeze the 2 of them on the 4gb card with bundle.

They are actually very fun games, even on PSP! The PSX versions had dedicated controllers which of course made it a lot better.. but the PSP games were very solid.
Is there anyone thats been down to get Modnation Racers that can confirm if it has an online pass or not? It's $30USD(27AUD) in America and $60AUD(65USD) in Australia so wanting to import...
The unboxing showed nothing else in the case but I was reading an article that said it did have an online pass..

Real quick, I heard the Vita FEB is not even listed in the Best Buy ad for next week. Confrim?
Doesn't have online pass because it has no online at all. That's how Sony trolls us.
edit: forgot to mention that the developers stated that they are looking into patching online in, but we all know that won't happen.
I'm actually kind of addicted to the demo on the PS3. My PS3's disk drive died on me about a month ago so I decided to download the Hot Shots Golf and Ridge Racer 7 demos. It was my first time playing either game and now I'm addicted. lol. It's sad to hear that Ridge Racer Vita is such crap though, I was looking forward to it.
People are saying 10 hours.

Pretty sure some of the reviews said the length was actually longer than the console versions.

It certainly took me longer to finish Golden Abyss (7-8 hours) than it did to finish U3 (6 1/2 hours)

Must......resist.......spending........$50 on a portable game!!!
In anticipation for the Vita release I've decided to have a little game clear out. Assuming the iOS HMV app is right then I should have enough store credit for a couple more Vita games.
Now at
Uncharted
Fifa
Virtua Tennis (Still may trade in)
Everybody's Golf/Hot Shots
Wipeout/F1 2011/Shinobido/Ninja Gaiden/PSN card
I am a tad undecided on the last one lol. I'm never very good at Wipeout so I don't think I will enjoy it that much.

Heh i've actually never played a Everybody's Golf game before, but planning on buying it from PSN
I would honestly urge people to get Virtua Tennis VITA even if you've already got the PS3/360 version because it plays differently in my opinion. It's such an amazing game and the perfect portable game honestly.. I've already put like 100+ hours into it and thats with the NON English version. It's so addictive because its the first tennis game that doesn't feel stripped back in any way.

Maybe a silly question and sorry if it's been answered before - I'm just looking on clarification on what PSP games will be available on the Vita's PSN store? Is this public yet? Someone in the old thread had mentioned just because it's on the PSP PSN store, it may not be available on Vita...
I only made up my mind on picking this up over the last week or two, and have been trying to catch up on all the minor details. Really looking forward to catching up on some games I had missed, and was hoping there may be a list to refer to.

Fuck. This might be a launch day impulse buy. It's getting some great reviews. That create a character video got me excited too.
yeah i that's where i got it. i was referring to post-launch pricedrop from launch price though. that's just my experience with a couple HSG titles though. *shrug*

Is Virtua Tennis online, too? If so, I LOVED the Virtua Tennis arcade machine...

I was going to run to Gamestop to get HSG and Wipeout, but screw that... I just noticed they were selling them for $40 and Amazon has them for $30.
Yeah.. Like it's sort of hard to sell to people because its a tennis game and everybody knows what to expect from a tennis game but it really is the most addictive tennis game i've ever played due to the fact that it looks and runs amazing and in my opinion this is the game you should get for when you want to pickup your vita and have a play for 10-15 minutes.
Already got the plat for it and its the first game out of about 70 PS3 titles that i've owned that I can say this about
Wipeout should have a demo, and there's one for Ninja Gaiden on the PS3 at least.
The presumption that there is a Wipeout demo is exactly why it is still in the running. I am hoping my Vita arrives a day early from Amazon so I get a chance to check out the demos first.
I've played a little Ninja Gaiden on PS3 that one depends on the price, I don't think it's worth £30+

Is the platinum hard? I've got it in my Amazon pre-order bundle and I am really interested in it. I plan on trying it for a couple of days before deciding whether or not to keep it but I may just squeeze all the trophies I can out of it on launch day
All games with DDL versions excluding the Phantasy Star Portable series should be available.
US one is locked. EU and HK ones aren't IIRC.
I'm neither Canadian nor getting a 3G but the US 3G ones are locked to AT+T.
Edit: Beaten
Thanks. And thanks to everyone else who answered.

Awesome, thanks! I have my game pre-ordered, system pre-ordered, memory card purchased - now I just need to get a nice large PSN card for PSP games, and a screen protector and I'll be all set.

when is the PSN Vita store going to go up. I have my import HK Vita and want to buy more games.
btw, everytime I tried to go to US Vita store, I got the message PSN Vita store is not available in your region. that's because it simply not up yet right? not some IP region locked thing?

I think Yoshida said it should be the 14th. I'll try and find the tweet.
and that is correct, it isn't up yet.
EDIt: Yosps exact tweet was "I cannot tell the exact date, but will certainly up on the 15th, if not earlier."

So I dont have a PS3, or PSP, but I am picking up a Vita on launch day.
I know the Vita uses a different content manager than what everyone is used to, but the old one has access to PSN store, so if I buy Monster Hunter FU, and Star Wars BattleFront 2(is it actually any good on PSP?) Resistance retribution and a few demos on Media Go, does that download the game to my PC, and then when I get my Vita I can just send from PC to Vita, via the new content manager. Does it work like that?

Well people in Eu can get 50% select psp and ps1 games http://www.siliconera.com/2012/02/0...psp-and-psone-final-fantasy-games-for-50-off/
Why are some of you (who don't have the Vita yet) insist on buying the games and memory cards now? There's a good likelihood that many retailers will offer deals as launch nears. What, are you all going to make unboxing videos? lol
But whatever, wouldn't want to tell people how they should spend their money here. oooooh.
