You say that now
It's the Strategy RPG in the series. Friggin awesome game.
bought one on cybermonday because i wanted to play tearaway and its a real slick piece of hardware. I dont have a lot of games, but my library right now is a mix of PSV,PSN,PSP and PS1 games and im pretty impressed with the selection (no ps1 Crash/Spyro or Birth By Sleep is a little puzzling though)
Right now Im playing through Gravity Rush, which is extremely fun, and replaying the first Gex.

Friend, Xbox Live will never compare to PS+ until Xbox Live offers free games with your subscription. Never compare to the two, one is clearly better than the other in terms of products, however, I do not know how they are in terms of stability and design, someone can fill that in if need be.

Congrats on your purchase! I had a Vita since March last year and I definitely love it. Like the others have already said, it's not setting the sales charts on fire but it's really a fantastic handheld with a lot of great titles.
They've already recommended Persona 4 Golden (you really can't go wrong with that) and Gravity Rush, and you should definitely give them a go. I myself haven't purchased Tearaway yet but I will absolutely buy it. No, I'm not waiting for it to go to the bargain bin. Life just decided to sidetrack my plans so it'll have to wait for a month. Oh, I'm gonna buy Guacamelee! too along with P4G.
Anyway, I really suggest that you subscribe to PS+. The $50 price of admission may initially seem too much but you will see that it pays for itself so quickly and you will be drowning in a sea of games (particularly if you have a PS3 and a PS4). You really got the Vita at a perfect time. The upcoming sale is just insane! I'll be grabbing Puppeteer, Rain, and Thomas Was Alone -- the last one, I heard, is an amazing game on handhelds.
Have fun with your Vita!

I'm thinking of going back to a Vita in the not too distant future. I sold mine because the sticks are shit and because the only game I was interested in and played was Everybody's Golf. Now the price of them has dropped quite a bit and there are some oddball games out that I think I'd enjoy. I just need to deal with the analog sticks as my final hurdle.

If you download the "free games" through PS+, those will pause when you cancel your membership. But anything you actually pay for under PS+, you keep. So you could buy a month of PS+, get every discount on there, and you would keep all of that.
Thanks!

No prob, I think it's a Win-Win for Sony. The per month price isn't ideal, and people could "abuse it" to buy games from them lol.

just for the sake of 'pick this up', here are games I would recommend:
1) Uncharted (not as good as console versions but still fun)
2) Gravity Rush
3) Soul Sacrifice
4) Killzone: Mercenary
5) WipEout
6) Fifa (if you like sports game, of course but it's very fun to pick up and play)
7) Dynasty Warriors: NEXT (DW is perfect for the Vita, lots of fun to be had)

It's..... beautiful!
Seeing some Dissidia love in there. Makes me a happy camper
I think I'm a weirdo or something, I don't keep THAT many games on my system. Lately I've been playing through 1 or 2 at a time until they're completed, Then I upload the save info to the cloud and work on the next lol. You guys totally need the 64GB cards lol
Is tomorrows Vita sale US only?
And yep, Vita is incredible. I picked one up about a week ago and have been loving it. Got some PSOne classics on it so far (Final Fantasy, Tomba, Crash Bandicoot), picked up Wipeout 2048, LBP Vita, Guacamelee, and a bunch of other things. Theres a good amount of variation in its library imo, a lot to play on it for sure.

Are they dumping the deals all in one go? Or are they going to trickle it in over time?
This x1000! I showed my friend the Vita's library on Metacritic (we both play many games 60 and above), and told him to focus on the genre and publisher, and it was all over the place. The Vita's got a very wide range of playable titles, it's friggin awesome.

For $130, I got an og unit with a 16gb card inside a few months back.
It's been my Spelunky Daily Challenge machine for the most part due to a busy schedule, but I've decided to buy all future Indie games on Vita if possible.
Going to be double dipping on Lone Survivor despite owning it (and never touching it- humble bundle) on PC.
Likewise for future releases such as Super Binding of Issac, Rogue Legacy (Vita) and Hotline Miami 2 to name a few.

Very much this. If it could somehow be explained better in a commercial, Vita could save gaming.

They Vita is great device with an amazing library if you count Ps1, PSP and PsVita games.
The problem is that most people look for exclusive "blockbuster" games on a handheld and in that field the Vita doesn't offer very much.
I gifted a Vita to my brother for christmas and he never owned a Playstation(Ps4 was his first PS, he got it on launch), he collected PS+ games for a few months because he long before planned on buying a Ps4 and already got PS+.
So he already had a lot of games for his new Vita. I recommed him some Ps1 and PSP games and of course the best Vitas games.
He basically looks at a huge chunk of the PS1 library, a huge chunk of the PSP library and of course the whole Vita library and its all new to him.
He also enjoyes RemotePlay a lot and he is extreamly excited for the Playstation Now service because he never had a Ps2 and Ps3....
The Vita is pretty much the perfect machine for people like him.
But if you a pretty active gamer who lived through the Ps1 and PSP era and owed the consoles, then all the Vita offers are its exclusives titles and there aren't too many of them.

I do the same! But I rocked an 8GB card for quite a while when I got my Vita at launch, and then eventually upgraded to 32, since it was on sale, and I figured, well, "why not get the max?" at the time.
I usually jump around a lot when playing games, because my mood changes constantly about what I'm interested in playing at the moment (hence the rather eclectic lineup of games installed on my Vita). 64gb is a bit much. 32 is more than enough, and I still have about 2+ gigs available despite having all of that on my system.
I finally deleted Persona 4 off of my Vita. It was painful, but it was also taking up 3 gigs, and I already beat it (137+ hours put into it!), and I won't be going back to it for a while. RPGs are my favorite genre, followed by action games and action/rpgs.
I actually disagree with you on the bolded.
I've been a PlayStation gamer since the PS1 days, but I haven't played every game available on the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3. I'm also a pretty hardcore gamer, but I'm not made of money. I can't afford every noteworthy game that releases on PC, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox. Because of that, I miss a large amount of great games across various systems during a generation.
Now that I have more money, I can catch up on stuff that I missed. The Vita being compatible with PS1 and PSP games has been a GREAT way for me to catch up. See my list above? Those PSP and PS1 games excluding Castlevania, the Chrono's, Dissidia, and FFIX, I've never played. The mix of old and new with the Vita is exactly why it's my favorite handheld.

Great selection of games!
Thanks! It's not even my entire selection! I have, at this point, more games to play on my Vita than I do on my PS3, and my PS3 library is pretty big!
It does hurt to not see Persona 4 in my bubble lineup again, but it was time to finally say goodbye to it. *sniffle*
Oh man, that sale tomorrow is going to have me adding even more to both my PS3 and Vita backlog. Lol.
One of the things i also love about the vita is that by using the catalogue of PS1 and PSP, a lot of series have many of their games on Vita. For instance, Persona 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all on vita. As well as Metal Gear Solid. I love being able to have MGS 1, 2, 3, and PW all on one device!
How did you get MGS 1 on vita?

Transfer from PS3. At least that is what I did.
My PS3 is UK account while I have my Vita set up as US PSN account.
How do I go about this?
If you have bought the game with the UK account? To play the game you need to have the UK account active on Vita. There can't be two accounts active at the same time, so basically, this sucks.
If you haven't bought the game yet? Create a new account and log in with your US username and password, buy the game and transfer it.
Not much, beyond it weight slightly more than the wifi model (279 grams vs 260 grams according to an IGN article I found).

I really need to buy a Vita.
I have Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipeOut, Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice through PS+ and bought Killzone Mercenary during the sale.
Then there's Tearaway, the PSP back catolgue and PS1 titles I could download as well as PS4 remote play.
Gonna be cheap and wait for a sale though. Got enough to play at the moment.

The vita is one of my favorite systems ever. It's selling like shit.
It selling like shit has yet to have an impact on my love of it.

Totally agree. I love the system and it's even better now that the ps4 is out. I wish it would sell more for the sole reason that we'd get more games, but I'm still happy with the selection we have now.
Can't wait to try out Ollie Ollie on Tuesday. (Although I have waaaaaay too much to play on vita right now)
Currently playing:
Rayman legends
Rainbow moon
