hide your water-based mammals
Couldn't disagree with you more. The worse part is the load times. It's not exactly groundbreaking but it's definitely good fun online. It's simple but effective. The reviews may be right to score it a 6 or 7 but only due to the nature of it feeling like a lot of the other dungeon romps. It's worth the price if it's 15 or less. I wouldn't double dip at retail but if I didn't have it, I would be tempted.

For anyone that just ordered Uncharted on Sonystyle.com
When I go into my account and view the order I get this under "Item Details":
Items:
1
Order Status:
IN PROCESS
Estimated Ship Date:
On backorder. We will notify you by e-mail once your order has shipped.
Now the Sony Style online website is just awful, so I'm not sure if it's on "backorder" due to the fact that it has yet to be released and is a pre-order item (I've never pre-ordered anything from here), or if it's actually on backorder

TSA has a wipeout preview that basically oozes praise http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/01/17/in-the-zone-why-wipeout-2048-is-the-vitas-system-seller/

We do have Ruin coming too though. That one looks to fit the bill of buy for sure if you can wait.
Those are just about the same as the Japan prices, which are Y25,000 ($325) for Wi-Fi and Y29,800 ($390) for 3G.
Which, of course, still qualify as "ridiculously high". ^^;

Tomato, potato!
It was a $12 PSN game, It's not worth $40 Vita retail but yeah I enjoyed it as well.
Ruin looks great, but there is no telling when that will come out. It could easily be sometime in the summer but who knows.
I am keeping my eye on Dungeon Hunter Alliance. Like said before I don't think I would pay anything above 15-20$, but it still looks like fun.
I hope the controls are completely configurable like other Wipeouts because I always use O for Thrust, X for weapons and /\ for absorb weapons. That way I never have to take my thumb off of O, I just shift it up or down.

Kinda disappointed to hear that you have to use your weapons with square while using X for throttle. While it's not a huge deal, but I wish you could use the back touchpads. I play Wipeout on PS3 using L1/L2/R1/R2 to avoid this situation
Can't wait. The author's sentiments echo my own after my playtime at the recent Mall Event. Load times were abit long but everything else was superlative.
Would you say the ships handle more like they do in Wipeout Pure/Pulse or closer to Wipeout HD?
You can use the rear touchpad to accelerate in one of the settings.
Thanks for posting this! Preordered!
the only difference is the 3G model has gps as well.
Thx!. Wifi vita most probably then my Galaxy S II will be tethering.
That should be a given.

Argh, the WipEout videos I've seen are SOOO GOOOOD.
It's going to be a long wait until May. I'm going to begin planting the seeds for my friends to hopefully pitch in and buy me one for my birthday. WipEout, Rayman, Lumines, and Hot Shots Golf are all that I'll need until the eventual fall deluge that'll be announced at E3.

A $5 mobile game for $40? I'd be stupid not to buy it!
I have the sneaking suspicion that Lumines may end up a $5 mobile game within 12 months, and well in 12 months we'll probably be able to get Rayman Origins for that price.

I already have Lumines on my iPhone.
I kind of want to get it on my Vita just to see it on the fancy screen but I won't pay $39.99 for it.
£5.96 in the Amazon UK mis-price (along with Lumines AND Rayman). Should recoup the cost easily enough if they honour it.

An interesting article talk me over to get wifi instead of 3g model.. Omg I cant wait.... Saw my fd's HK version of PS Vita make me wanna buy it even more ><

There's nothing there that's not already pretty obvious. I'm picking up the 3G model on the strength of what might come in the future.
I was wondering this as well. Just started playing Corpse Party on my PSP, but I might hold off and play it on the Vita if I can move my save over.
I'm glad Sony Canada is incapable of securing a wireless partner in a timely fashion. We wouldn't have got the superior first edition bundle otherwise.

Will the Vita be able to play PS1 games?

Eventually, but not at launch.
Has anyone gone to the Vita "social club" preview events? Were they worthwhile? I am debating going to the Chicago event tonight. I cancelled my preorder, but am still v. interested. Problem is 1) I am busy, 2) I live on the wrong side of town, and 3) it's supposed to be bad weather.

3G version will get you a game for $15 too.

I'd be interested to know this as well. I know SCEJ announced a plan but has SCEA said anything yet?

Aren't they open until the Vita launch? Today is just the opening day festivities, which will include food, raffles, etc.
Just go on a day you're not busy.

Yup! I would hate to miss out on something special because I was too cheap to spend an extra $50 bucks.

You may have a reduced version of Lumines on your iPhone, but you can't play it with decent controls.
Touchscreen and mouse gameplay (PC version) in Lumines suck.
But I agree, $39.99 is too much. Let's wait how much is the PSN version.
BTW this was the Java version, for mobile phones with buttons. Its controls weren't as bad as the iOS version.
Nor does it have awesome tracks like these: (Yes these are two tracks from Lumines Vita)

I have some hope for this game... but memories of this PSP launch title give me shivers:

Ruin is one of my most anticipated titles, but I really hate the new name.
