I'm getting the starter kit which comes with both a pouch and a case.
Where's this kit available? I'm only seeing one that is pouch-only. US here.
I remember reading it's a May title.
I don't think it's available in the US, I only see a starter kit for $40 that includes the same stuff +earphones and a 4gb memory card here.
Wrong. PSOne Classics already work perfectly fine, atleast on the Japanese Vita, which I assume is the same for NA/EU.
Le source?
I haven't decided if I'm going to keep my 16GB memory card pre-order, or cancel it, since the 3G Vita I'm getting comes with an 8GB card, and I'm not sure I'll need a bigger one within the first month, since I'm buying my games retail as often as I can.
I do plan on downloading a few PSN PSP games, but those won't take up the card. The irony is that, if I don't buy the 16gig, it saves me $60, which I can use on either some Vita games, or on a bunch of PSN PSP games. But if I use it on PSP games, it may use up my 8gig card, and I'll need another memory card! lol.
Hmm. I think I may just keep the preorder afterall. I'm so torn!

Is there a way to buy JUST the pouch please?
Thanks.

They dont. You can play them through remote play, but that is it for now. They are still being pretty mum on this.

The starter kit is different in North America. This one is only available in PAL territories.
I haven't seen it sold separately anywhere yet. Have you considered the Hori case? It seems like a good alternative.

This won't end well for you. Hit the reset button.
It's only sold separately overseas.

Thanks for reply.
In Japan they sell the pouch for 1800 yen.
In US or Europe I cannot find it anywhere.
I'd like to have 2 cases.
One to keep the the Vita at home (and for that the pouch is unbeatable, little and essential) and one to move to travels (and the travel pouch is great for it I guess).
yep, bought it from Yamato and I'm happy with my purchase, no need for more
This goes against everything I've read recently. Where are you getting this from?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
No. This isn't true at all.

Is that what you're looking for?
It was mainly the Forbes article Sony in Big Trouble with PS Vita that I finally got around to reading that really got my ire. But the dismissive attitude on GB is worrying. I'm hoping Vinny or someone will get enamored with the tech and become a champion for it there...someone has too, right?
So I played one of the demo units at Gamestop. Japanese Vita owners, are the load times always that terrible? Gravity Rush was bad, but Wipeout was RI-DI-CULOUS.
Only Brad kind of cared about the 3DS until Mario and PushMo came out. I don't think Vinny even owns a 3ds; I doubt he'll buy a Vita.

thanks to PS+ I have a lot of quality PS1 games I'd love to play but I would never bother playing them on my ps3, but on a Vita I could easily see myself playing all of them

It isn't anyone's obligation to be excited by the device.

You're hoping for the wrong site to get excited with the Vita. If you've listened to their podcasts or read their coverage, you already know what you're gonna get.

Someone needs to create something on the Vita that will make them enamored with it. The system needs games that aren't just smaller versions of existing franchises. It needs games that highlight the unique aspects of the system itself and the portable gaming experience.
Look at how they basically ignored the 3DS until Pushmo.....
Escape Plan.

I don't want GB to pander to me like IGN does.

Just got done calling a bunch of gamestops and best buys around my area and to be surprise and ironically also the last best buy i called which was closest to me has the damn thing! SO SO SO excited to play it for the first time here in a little bit. I've been following it since the device was announced at 1:30am on January 27. It's gonna feel so good to finally play what almost seemed like it never existed, and now, it's gonna be in my hands.
I have a question for folks who have ordered stuff with release date shipping before on amazon. I actually haven't preordered much on amazon before. How long before the 15th should I expect amazon to ship/charge my credit card? Like, would it be as soon as friday the 10th, or would it be more likely to be on monday the 13th?
The reason I'm asking (and this is gonna sound silly to some people), is I'm having someone hold on to my money for the Vita until the I need it. I don't trust myself with money, when I have it in my possession, it burns a hole in my pocket, and I spend without wanting to. I'm giving it to someone so that it will be out of my reach, no matter how much I beg.

A lot of times it varies. It will be at the very earliest on the 12th to my experience. It can however be closer like the 14th. But you WILL get it on the 15th lol.

If I pre-order something from them and I have credit with them, they immediately debit from my credit. If I'm just paying via Credit Card, they have never taken my money until it shipped. And I've been ordering from them for years.

Take photos of the display!
Apparently it's a best buy rep who walks around with the system and will give it to you to play, so it seems like I'll get to actually pick up the system without any restraints. I may still take pictures though, prbly, with my own hands in it haha.

I get to play with one every day. When customers aren't bothering me, anyway.
Little kid walks up and asks for a go, I wanted to tell him to sod off but I felt bad for thinking it and gave him a go.

I still think that case that comes with the first edition is pretty cool. With the Vita having those 2 analog sticks, the protection of the case would be nice. Also I already got 3 games ordered for the system, the storage for the games will come in handy. I can't see taking the Vita out of the house without some kind of carrying case, and the one that comes with the First Edition bundle is one of the best I've seen. Buying a stand alone case is still at least $15-20 to start.
I also said it before earlier in the thread, but Little Deviants actually looks like a cool game. It'll be a cool game to have to check out all the unique features that that Vita has right out of the gate.
The 3G/8gb bundle is not bad at $300, but I still don't see much value lost with the first edition bundle. The stuff that comes with the first edition bundle still easily adds to being worth over $350 imo, and having it a week early is a nice bonus for people like me who are excited to get their hands on it.

I'm pretty confident there will be much better cases.

I preordered the Vita 3g bundle ($300). No games for me yet.
I figure I'll load it up with the things I've downloaded from PS+ and buy Valkyria Chronicles 2 (mostly why I want to have the system for now).

I'd be surprised if Infamous isn't in development.
I actually got one of those cheap HK cases for the vita. $4.39 and Free shipping is a sweet deal.....I got one for my psp go previously and was really happy with it. This one is still on the way so can post pics once I actually get it:

Not a bad deal for someone who is on a budget. They have other cases there too

If you don't like their coverage, find different coverage.
I don't want a fansite mentality, with positive coverage for something that isn't good. But when they don't cover it at all, or there's an audible :eyeroll: when the topic comes up, that's just not covering the stories that interest me. I don't read Nintendo power to get Xbox news.
I'm not really getting cold feet, but I wish they wouldn't hold back some of the Japanese releases I really want. I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I can't say enough that I wish Gravity Rush was a day 1 title. It looks so cool. I recently saw some footage for Ragnarok Odyssey, and that game looks really cool also. Looks kinda like a Monster Hunter game sorta, but not quite. I really wish we had something like that for the launch line up too. Of course Tales of Innocence R would've been nice also. We missed out on the DS version, I hope we get the Vita version.
Little Deviants is a $30 game, so the FE Bundle is only good value if you consider a case and a week early access to be worth $30. Even then, do you actually want Little Deviants?

The thing I'm getting confused on is Resistance Burning Skies.
The last two weeks on the Weekend Confirmed podcast I've been hearing that it's coming out a month after launch. I'm pretty sure that's not right at all.
Amazon lists it as Dec 31, 2012 lol

All I want to do is play FFVII on the vita with that gorgeous screen. PSone classics on the vita is one of the reason I'm buying it. I hope i'm able too

Got one of these in at work to demo. So sexy. Considering trading in my 3DS towards one... Uncharted and WipeOut on the go is just so tempting. I ended up buying and never playing a PSP 1000 at launch though, so I'm a bit hesitant to just dive in and get one. It feels like you're always better off waiting, but I'm a sucker for new tech.
