Really want to thanks the person that told me about the 79 cent Vita case. It is really sturdy, even more than my PSP Hori case, nice looking and it doesn't smell like shit. And of course, it's only 79 cents. Today I will try to put the Hori screen protector.
As my first day with a Vita, I'm really impressed. The machine build, sound, the PSN store (for my surprise, as a PS3 owner) and the screen is so good. Vitua tennis 4 and Uncharted looks and plays very close as the PS3 version. And Killzone Liberation looks really nice for a 2006 PSP game. Gonna buy Super Stardust Delta and Dracula X Chronicles today.
Overall, very happy with the Vita. As I never owned a PSP, the "no games" meme doen't get to my head. In fact, the memory card looks small for the number of things that I want to put in there.

I just wish they'd get PSONE Classic compatibility out the door. I want to play FF9 and Xenogears so damned bad.....

True that. That's something that should have been ready out of the gate, if you ask me. There's no reason it should be taking this long.
I dropped my Vita on the road, and it hit the tarmac hard. The thing still works now albeit with some damage to both sides. T_T
I'd consider it a pretty hardy unit actually.
No online, no pass.

It was 4x easier to get on Vita than Ps3 apparently....that made me lol.
I wasn't to convinced about the game tbh, but after watching that I probably will pick this up!

That's Sony for you lol
I know what you mean, how does one quantify something like that? brought back memories of the "wii u is 2x 3x 4x more powerful......" quotes
Exactly, it makes no sense to say something is "X times easier". You can say it's easier, yeah, but to say it's 4 times easier just doesn't make sense
The demo is out next week, woohoo!
RCR was supposed to be out this month, but i assume it got delayed?
Should have been like this from the beginning, whether it was a memory card or something onboard, it shouldn't have been released with no space for downloads+saves, a foolish decision.
Nice to see them actually getting themselves together though.
Do we know if the Demo is coming to Europe as well?
Should be out next wednesday!

Probably just a random number to show that it is much easier. The number gives an idea that the difference is quite noticeable. I remember when i was a kid, we often used to say "it takes 100 years" when we felt something took a long time.Exactly, it makes no sense to say something is "X times easier".

Unless the PS3 version took him four times longer to get working. He sounds like he's keeping track of man hours anyway. Or it's just a random number he threw out to get his point across.
It's really only a taster it seems. I've played the demo and wasn't terribly impressed until watching some more gameplay videos of the japanese version on youtube. I'd describe the demo as a one-trick pony but would probably have still kept it to try out the mechanics every now and then until my preorder arrived...if I wasn't so low on space already.
I've been wanting to play xeno again, but i'm waiting for PsOne compatibility on the Vita. Playing the classics on the Vita is the main reason I got one. That and Valkyria Chronicles II since I never owned a PSP.

It kinda makes sense to me. People at a store checking out a demo unit don't own one yet. They play GR, and then they want a Vita to get the game.
People at home with their Vitas already own one. If they release the GR demo to those people right before the game comes out, then they try GR and want to buy it. If they release the demo too early, maybe too much time passes and people will have moved on from the interest. It's not often that you see a game's demo released many months before the game comes out because of the impulse factor. All just my assumption, though.
I don't think Sony is as smart as you

249 Euros, it'll cost $320 or maybe $300 here in the US
Maybe but what else are PS Vita owners going to buy besides Gravity Rush? And at least it would give us owners SOMETHING to download from the PSN store.
One of the many other great games already on the store, or coming out in the coming weeks?
Too many coming out in the coming weeks to list? Speaks volumes when the most exciting thing i'm looking forward to is PSone compatibility and replaying Zen Pinball tables on my Vita.

Then they have some REAL problems hahaha
I wish it was up too. I've been wanting to try it out since I got my Vita in March. I wasn't about to go through the hassle of making another region's account for it, though. I just don't think it would have made a lot of business sense for them to do that.

Due to the drought I caved in and bought Unit 13. I can't believe I passed this on launch, it's incredibly fun. The bugginess of the demo turned me off initialy. The only downside so far are the menus, which IMHO are not very well designed.
Tabletop tanks out this week which is just an AR game, but a fun looking one, and cheap at that. A fun distraction until Gravity Rush demo, which is out next tuesday/wednesday. Resistance: Burning Skies is also out next week. And then 2 weeks after that, Gravity Rush full game is out.
Well yeah, it is a Zipper game.
I bought 3 PSP games and 9 Vita games so far. Haven't completed all of them yet.
I also downloaded and use the Twitter app and Music Unlimited often. The built-in Music Player and web browser are pretty handy too.

I'm most definitely going to need them to announce some larger memory cards soon. At least make two more and shift the prices down accordingly. 32G here and having to decide what I will keep installed and what stays backed up.
Also, any word on NHL13? After FIFA, I have a renewed interest in sports games. Would be so dope.

No it won't. How long will it take for people to stop doing currency conversions for Euro/Dollar?

32 GB and you're complaining? What the hell...did you download all of the vita games and some PSP games too?
It is also out on iOS in New Zealand. ^_^
People expect the Music Unlimited app to appear on US and EU App Store soon.

18 digitalVita games and 10 PSP games on my card now. Only physical game I have is Fifa and that's just to keep the contacts 100%. Dreading when PS1 is enabled because thats like another 20 games to worry about. This thing comes with me everywhere and I am thoroughly enjoying myself.
I was also turned off by the demo. Seemed horribly generic to me. How does the full game differ?
