What does Sawari Makuuru mean? I didnt know that it had a different name in Japan.
They should just put it in as a pack-in.
How would you pack in a PSN game when it doesn't come with a memory card?
free download code so you are tempted to buy a memory card so you can play your free game lol
It obviously has a tiny bit of internal memory given Welcome Park is on there, but besides that, they could actually make some carts and toss them in.

well this is HSG5 so hopefully that satisfies your needs.
It may use HSG5 assets, but it isn't HSG5. The fact it's called Minna no Golf 6 in Japan is proof of that, lol.

Yea I meant HSG6.
That pretty much drops the value on the First Edition bundle. Not as good a deal anymore. I know that Japanese game prices don't equal US game prices, but consider that often they have to pay up to 5000Y for their portable games.

How would it drop the value? You still won't have to buy a memory card and 4gb should keep you going up until memory cards start dropping in price. I'll eventually will have to buy a bigger one since I plan on playing a lot of PSP games.
Well I do get where you are coming from though.
It's just not that great a deal anymore. Okay, technically that remains to seen. If Little Deviants is priced at the standard $40 retail when it releases at Vita's US launch. But what if it were a $20 download. I mean, at 2000Y, that's like $15 US.
It would be $25, not $15 if converted.
Woops, my bad. Yes, that's right. I still feel the same, though.

yea, I can understand your point but were you buying it for the game or because it's bundled with a card?
Both. I was interested in Little Deviants. I hope Sony doesn't cheap out by having the First Edition Bundle of LD be a download code.

it's almost guaranteed to be a dl code, I hope its the physical game so I can sell it
That's genius. And evil.

Looking at this thread has got me so excited I've fired up my psp again. Does anyone know if you will be able to organise your games in your own way? Having my psp, ps1 and minis mixed together frustrates me in an OCD way.

We still haven't seen how that will work but it seems you can arrange the "bubbles" in different pages(categories) on the main screen but that's just my take on what I've seen and it might be different.

The dream is still alive then, fingers crossed.

How does the prices in the japanese PS Store compared to EU/US prices? Retail game prices in Japan are usually more expencive in Japan.
Japanese PSN store prices tend to aim for 500 yen cheaper than retail. For Vita's launch, a large number of Vita games are going on big discount on PSN. I know Ridge Racer is supposed to be like 3000 yen on PSN instead of the 5000 yen in retail.

The surprisingly cheap price tag of RR is the main reason why I think it won't look any better than it did in the recent trailer.
They realized that they couldn't ship something half decent after 6-7 months of development, so preemptively attaching a BOMBA price tag was their last resort.

That is cool. But i was mostly thinking about prices in general
Like, a $10 PSN game, how much is that in the japanese PS Store?Blue Submarine No. 6

I was indulging in a bit of nostalgia with my PSP1001 today. I use my PSPgos most of the time (I've got one for PSN stuff and one that's CFW'd for rips from my rather large UMD library) and I use my PSP3000 to play UMDs now, but I'll always love my first PSP - it's such a heavy, solid piece of hardware. Anyway, I pulled it out to rip Portable Ops so I can play it on my CFW PSPgo, and took a couple minutes to page through the hundreds of save game files I have on the system dating back to 2005... So many great games... So many great memories... I feel like the Vita is going to revitalize and carry on that legacy - I can't wait!

I wouldn't know. Generally speaking there aren't many western PSN games that get localized for Japanese PSN.

These shots are downsized. They should be 960x540 to be the exact size of Vita display.
960x544, but whatever...
Not surprised. They did Tekken 6 psp in the past and it would be a easy port job for vita.

So fake, but here's hoping it happens eventually. Tekken 5: DR was one of PSP's brightest gems.
Really, really fake. PSVita Hub is a spotlight whore.
That said, Harada has basically confirmed Tekken will be on Vita.

I figured it was fake lol.
It wouldn't surprise me if it did come but that is incredibly fake.
PSVita Hub, if you read this, here's why your image was easily found out to be fake:
- Why would there be box art of an unannounced game?
- The exuberant amount of Japanese text on a box that is clearly for the west.
- Weirdly positioned ESRB logo.
- Having the Bandai Namco logo cut into the Tekken Tag Team 2 logo.
- Using both the Bandai Namco, and Namco logos on the front cover. Real Scamco games now only use either Bandai or Namco logos, and have the combined logo on only the back cover.

Well to be fair, they took it from a blogspot that has only this one article that seems like the only reason they made the blogspot was to make this fake image.

Jeez, they even named the url 'blog post' LOL :lol :lol :lol.
Look who posted that. A user named "Snake". Look who posted the article about Tekken on PS Vita Hub.
They are a fame whore website.

I would assume so. If the games are region-free, one would hope the memory cards are too.
