since when did any iphone use gorilla glass? those things shatter at the slightest bump.
It doesn't mean it's unbreakable, because it's extra hardened against scratches etc.. it means it's less flexible so it can break on impact.

GG isn't shatter proof anyway its just very hard to scratch compared to other materials.
On the flip side, I bounced my DHD from about 4ft the other day with no problems because its got a plastic screen which flexes. Any glass screened device would almost certainly have shattered because glass doesn't do flexing.
Yeah, to me screen protectors are not for protection against shattering. It's for protection against fingerprints. The true enemy of glass.
Why is there no Euro/UK launch thread?
I cant find any decent bundles anywhere, they are either have crappy games or crappy prices
Yeah play is probably the one im going for atm. But i was hoping for some multi-game bundles.**UK offers**
Case©What cases are you guys getting?
I switched from:
PS Vita Wifi
32 gb Memory Card
HSG on PSN
Wipeout on PSN
to:
PS Vita 3g/wifi bundle with 8gb memory etc,etc.
HSG and Wipeout from Amazon for 30 bucks.
Overall, I probably won't use 3g unless I go through some huge lifestyle change that requires me to sit on a bus or something.
32gb of memory wouldn't be enough to go all digital for the life of the system, which diminishes the value of the premium. It's roughly 16 games at the moment, and the games could get bigger in the future. I still feel like I would be managing some data over the life of the system, so it's not worth the all-digital premium. It's a slight discount that doesn't beat retail at launch, and never will.
I rather wait for a discount 32gb card in the future just to hold a stack of games, or a 64 gb memory card for the same price that gives me a better chance to experience the true, cart-less experience in the future. 8gb is fine for managing a game and a few arcade titles. The launch day bundle makes that cart free, or the 36 a 10-20 add-on. That sits fine with me.

I'm with you, i want to know exact date and price.Is Putty Squad a launch title or launch window? And is any price known?
Interesting take.
For me it comes down to cost. Outside of Wipeout and HSG. I'll be saving an average of $8 a game. I live in NYC so tax is a killer.. After doing the math, HSG retail= $33.33 (Amazon) after tax. Whereas the digital version is a flat $35.. True it's $2 more, but it's the type of game I'd rather have digital. Games like Uncharted UMvsC are bit more attractive because they go from $55 down to $45, and $44 down to $35 respectively. I know everyone has different tax situations. But for me this just makes sense. At least until Atlus etc... start offering pre-order incentives.
32GB won't last the entire gen, you're right. But knowing Sony, it'll be a good while before we see a price drop. If the PSVita doesn't perform, a drop could come by the summer. But, who knows?
The one that comes with the Starter Kit. It's reminiscent to the one that shipped with the original PSP.
At the moment Im afraid I cant talk about what our plans (if any) for VITA and Plus are.
Are you not taxed on PSN purchases? I am not currently taxed by amazon.com but I'm always taxed by PSN; for me its 9.75%
So are we getting any decent cases with the launch in the UK?
Probably. Still, I think the 3DS's first 6+ months are a good cautionary tale of potential post-launch disappointment, especially since the Vita is pretty much destined for an even bumpier ride.

Those PSN prices have made me waiver slightly on my 32GB choice, however I'm pretty sure it will be the best choice for me since I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford the 32GB over the 8/16GB options right now, and ast the gen lasts, the 32GB will be able to (relatively) hold its value in comparison to the smaller variants.
I'm not interested in the launch titles and PSP2 is no longer on PSN so I'm about to cancel this.FU Sega
Can anyone please give me a reason why I should buy this now instead of summer?
Just buy the games you intend to keep playing for a long time. Even if the PSN discount is only slight, at least you'll have them on a single card.
I'm still kind of tempted to buy a 32GB card.

Hmm. I should check out a video tutorial on switching accounts. I might want to grab some japanese demos at launch.
If you can, post impressions on it (or a video) if you find one.
I'm thinking of maybe getting the starter kit, but the only reason would be to have the second 4GB mem card around so I can easily switch regions. But IIRC it's tied to the system or something....? I'm not really sure on how it works. If I could just take out one mem card and put in another and isntantly have access to another region/account I would.
People keep saying that switching memory cards requires a reset. I'm not sure what is involved in a reset. Are all my systems settings reset to default? Do I have to set everything up again when I switch back? I'm not clear on this.
This man has posted a tutorial on his YT channel I believe, although I can't remember the name of the channel off of the top f my head.
I believe you need to restore to factory settings (but not format the card) so I guess you'll need to set it up again.

Pre-ordered my Vita yesterday at a local Best Buy, going for the Launch Day Bundle.
Now, someone clarify something for me: the Vita they were initially launching before on launch day (4gb mem card), its now been upgraded to a package that has an 8 GB card, that AT&T card, and a code for a free PSN game? Or is that an entirely different SKU? If it is a different SKU entirely, I'm gonna need to head back there and change my pre-order.

Two Weeks Away from Vita First Edition Bundle!
Yeah, got the Feb 22 one, but what I'm just asking to make sure (I'm aware whats in it). Its because the salesperson at Best Buy never got word from higher up that they increased the bundles in the first place, its not even listed in their system that their bundles have those upgraded things.
Uh. Restoring to factory settings sounds like a pain. I'll take a look at the video.
Edit: I think this is the channel. I don't see the video. Might be in one of his PSN vids.
I believe the bundles are the same everywhere. The bundles updated a few days ago, so stores probably don't have it their systems yet. My GS had no idea about them either.

Seeing how my friend's Kindle was massacred in his bag while being in a soft pouch, I've decided never to use that kind of "protection" for things with screens...I got this one, it "slimfits" around the Vita and has a small gap for the headphone-plug. I wanted bare-minimum so I went for it.

IGN actually did a pretty in depth video about that. And yes, it definitely sounds like a pain.

AMAZING
Are the Hori screen protectors shipping now? Amazon says they ship in 1-2 months. Someone tell me if I order it that it will be here like this week.
I'm really hoping for a deluge of information today.
What is everyone's thoughts on Dungeon Hunter Alliance? What I notice IMMEDIATELY, that completely turns me off is "Ubisoft"
Should I expect the game to have some ridiculous DRM system which embeds itself into the system to prevent resale?
but in all seriousness, the game does look promising.. and looks like I'll get my dungeon crawler fix from it. Opinions ?
