i hate to be a debbie downer but i don't think that says 14.99 for escape plan on that price sheet. pretty sure it says 24.99. hope i'm wrong because that sucks.

Let's enhance that

I don't see why it has to be an either or situation with the Vita when it comes to console experiences and bite sized experiences.

I don't prefer one over the other, but I like the idea that, thanks to all the input methods of the Vita, I won't have to worry about somehow being at a loss for either type of game experiences.
 
What's that price screen from? 10% off for each digital download confirmed?

No, all that is being shown here is the price that BestBuy has on their system for the sale of download codes. Sony has officially said that there WILL be discounts when buying from the store but they have not said what they will be yet.

As I said in the thread about it, Best Buy are still making a profit on those sales so it's still possible that a higher discount will be applied when buying direct from the PSN.

Maybe before launch they'll let us know!
 

Here's my problem with the Hori protector; I want to put a screen protector on the system the second I remove it from the box. If I make the stupid decision of getting a First Edition bundle, it won't be out for a week after release. If I wait for a official release, Amazon still doesn't have release date delivery on it. In either case, going with Hori makes it so I can't use my system right away.
 
I really hope there is a PS3/PSV combo price for MLB The Show. I would be willing to pay $80 for the combo.

I think you'll see a PSN coupon included inside the PS3 version of the game. Maybe $10 off the Vita version.

Are you really that careless with your stuff?
 
Listened to this weeks podcast, they said Vita games will be up in the store starting on the 14th (the ones that are in retail on the 15th), so you can get your head start a day early if you choose.

There won't be a Vita special section for the store up until the 21st though. Games that are retail 22nd though won't be up on PSN till the 21st as well.

It's discussed around the 58 minute mark.

Being able to pre load is nice. I've been asking Yosp and others on twitter and on the blogs for ages but never got anything back.
 
Glad to hear some people are able to pick up their games early. I am really hoping major retailers break street date and just release everything on the 15th. I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.
 
Out of whoever has a PS Vita right now, can someone tell me that, if you put your system on the table on its back often, will it scratch the back touchpad or should I get a protector for that?
 
Man what a lousy screen protector placement in that earlier post. He messed it up.

Will buy Escape Plan, SSD, and PSP stuff it seems.

Costco.ca has the 32Gb memory card for 87$.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't see the 32 GB one on there anymore but I ordered the 16 for a few bucks cheaper. Along with the 4GB I'm getting with the bundle, that'll do me as I'm not planning on purchasing a ton on PSN. By the time I fill them up, there should be cheaper pricing as well as some third party alternatives.
 
"ARC" project version 2 (thanks for the feedback!)

The only annoying quirk of the system I've found is the compression which occurs when assigning wallpapers. So I've got to be more creative with the color, and sparing with gradients.





cool, thanks but what is the first pic for ? I don't get why it has these two big circles.


Ugh do I really need a screen protector for this thing!?

No, I don't have one. I have a pouch.

I never got screen protectors for anything. Never got scratches.

well according to Gamestop & Amazon only a few games won't be the 15th.

Making a wallpaper for preparation for the Vita. I guess I need to make it 940x544? Or will it take a bigger size and just resize it?
 
Are you really that careless with your stuff?

No, I'm pretty careful about my stuff and take good care of things. That doesn't change the fact that a screen protector is easiest to put on when the screen is brand new.

no, just dont throw it in your pocket with change or keys. I never used a screen protector on my PSP or iPhone/ipad and ive never had scratches.

Just gotta be more careful

Not the same. iPhone and iPad are glass, PSP and Vita are plastic. Glass is resistant to scratching, plastic is not.

Oh man I can't wait to try these out. Thanks m0dus!
 
Decided to Remove Hot Shots Golf from my preorder and put dynasty warriors instead. Not the biggest fan of the series but it looks fun from the videos I have seen and the style fits perfectly on a handheld.

I'll also get MLB 12 when it releases as well.

Not enough cats.

Can you make it so each circle has cat ears?
 
My thoughts at Best Buy:

Very cool system! It's very light, will fit in my inside jacket pocket (Best Buy guy didn't care that I tried), though it was hard to judge the quality of the screen when playing Little Deviants.

Man, that game...

I played about 20 minutes worth of Little Deviants, and spent the time wondering what Sony is thinking marketing what may be the worst stab at children's franchising in a long time. The graphics are rubbish. The characters are appalling. The games themselves are not exactly a showcase.

Glad I'm just getting WiFi + 32 gig.

No love for the little monsters, eh ? i'll give you my copy for free(the one that comes with the FE)... nah.


So does anyone have an explanation for the first pic ? It's for the standby screen ?

Yes, I think it is the start-up screen

I would have taken off and jumped out the window.
 
Yeah, the Little Deviants demo was pretty bland and kept my attention for about 2 minutes - dunno why they're pushing it so hard.

I'm secretly hoping today's PSN Maintenance ends with my Vita being able to connect to the store.
 
Judging by their website, a lot of accessories will be available to grab next week.
If only the 32GB memory card was one of them.
All of the other sizes will be on hand but not that one.

Ideally, I'd love to have that card on first edition launch day but I don't trust any of the sites (Best Buy, Future Shop, EB Games, Amazon, Costco) to ship it to me by then even with expedited shipping and I'm not confident I'll be able to grab one at Best Buy directly when I pick up my preorder.

Being able to grab it early from EB would have been ideal.

I think there may be some bleedover into the following week's PSN lineup for some games available at retail on the 15th.
I've only seen hard commitments from Sony and Ubisoft of their games being loaded into the Valentine's Day PSN update.

Amazon has release-date delivery for the 32GB card

No such thing as release date delivery from Amazon.ca.
Best we get is Priority shipping and the estimated delivery date in that scenario is February 21st. Not good enough.

And Amazon.com won't commit to release date delivery internationally.

Hence the dilemma for Canadians remains.

I can't seem to find a listing for Motorstorm RC. Is it a lunch title?
Motorstorm RC is NOT a launch title. Check the OP for launch window titles on PSN.
