If so that's a huge load of bullshit. What about the people who were waiting to buy something other than GR or MGS:HD? Forcing everyone to wait by delaying the entire update is pretty shitty.
Yeah, not buying that. The game was out in stores earlier today, shipping from Amazon and arriving for about everyone (it came here at around 3 PM, when the store would usually update anyway), and if they cared for this kind of delayed crap they would've used it on a hotter item like ME3. I think it's just a fluke this time, an unexpected problem or whatever.
By the way, MOST people going "Well you got your midnight launch!" were joking in that it launched at midnight, but NOT the midnight it was supposed to.
I though the game came out today? I guess I'm mistaken then.

I don't know. It does seem a bit suspicious that the store went up at exactly 12am on the dot. It really feels to me like this has something to do with retailers wanting digital versions of certain games to be available later than the retail versions.
Case in point, a couple people in this very thread got fed up with waiting and went to stores to buy the games they were waiting on.
I think they would've tested this on what would seem like a hotter buy, like Resistance. Though there IS always the possibility that no one really did want Resistance afterall and it truly lacked wide appeal. No, we've seen this happen more than a few times when it was stuff that wasn't even hitting retail, and they would've announced that this would be a late update rather than "technical problems".

And that is a no go for Gungnir on Vita.

No, definitely not a property with wide appeal.

Alright, so now how long do we think it'll be before the storefront updates?
Sony never ceases to amaze.
It seems like one of those that'd still get more sales than Gravity Rush, but who knows? Poor reviews combined with a fading to irrelevance may well mean that Gravity Rush really would pull ahead by merit of the core audience actually noticing and giving a crap.
That'll be the cheapest the game's ever been. I believe that would've gone into effect this week since I've not heard of an older sale.

Oh my. I've never seen it that low. Maybe I'll jump for it now...
Wonder if I can get that on Vita now. May actually want to rebuy and put it on just to play with the second stick. But I'll wait until the store properly updates incase there's actually a really good bundle with that and Portable Ops, that needs second stick support far more than Peace Walker did.

the update isn't finished going live
It's not. I don't have my glasses on and was looking at Portable OPs. They were right next to one another on the search field. Sorry for the false alarm.

Gungnir is up on search for me... Is it not compatible with Vita???
OH MY GOODNESS. Look at this guy! Argh!
Not yet. We just don't know whether "yet" is when the store fully updates or whenever the hell SCEA remembers people like to play more PSP games on Vita.
Ha... "why not?" indeed!

Sometimes publishers really don't care to get prices dropped. It's why some of that stuff still goes for $40.
Because SCEA are inept when it comes to digital pricing. They should be pushing 3rd parties to drop their prices. PSP game prices are all way too high across the board.

You could have just stopped there.

I wish you a slowly and painful dead for this!!!
No, SCEA may need to press harder but in the end it's purely a publisher call. I imagine being too hard would risk losing publisher support for Sony anyway.

Could be worse. It could be $40 for Tekken, Soul Calibur, or Ace Combat. Namco, baby!

I was going off of other posts, hold up, let me edit. Even if it doesn't, there's a decent chance a PS3 transfer will work.

Atlus says it is compatible with Vita
No, I've been using as a litmus test. As a result I've been very cynical about PSP support on Vita, and probably the most pessimistic person here about getting to play Atlus's upcoming games (well, one just now released) on it: what the hell's the chance of it going up day one if they can't be bothered to get a game that came out the day the First Edition Bundle of the Vita's release?
Don't underestimate the ability of Sony to trash expectations.
That's good, probably just a case of the store not being completely updated.
At 11:56 CST.
PuzlAR is well worth the $1.99 pricepoint. Very cool!
They're most likely assuming. Nich said it was in Sony's hands.

Exactly. They said "expected", meaning they didn't know for sure but didn't think Sony would forget to enable it. But so far my cynicism panned out, disappointingly enough.
