Is there something going on with the 16gb memory cards that I haven't heard about? Amazon doesn't have them for preorder, but has all other flavors.

Actually, Android phones use the same battery tech as the iphone. Lithium Ion batteries are the standard for most consumer electronics. The PSP was equipped with a Lithium Ion battery and the Vita is no different. Here are some tips from Wiki:
"Prolonging battery pack life
Avoid deep discharge and instead charge more often between uses, the smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last.
Avoid storing the battery in full discharged state. As the battery will self-discharge overtime, its voltage will gradually lower, and when it is depleted below the low-voltage threshold (2.4 to 2.9 V/cell, depending on chemistry) it cannot be charged anymore because the protection circuit (a type of electronic fuse) disables it.
Lithium-ion batteries should be kept cool; they may be stored in a refrigerator.
The rate of degradation of Lithium-ion batteries is strongly temperature-dependent; they degrade much faster if stored or used at higher temperatures."
I did some research when I first bought my PSP because I had heard conflicting reports of battery care. Ni-cad batteries do have a memory and it is better to discharge completely before charging. Probably the only place you will find Ni-cads any more are in cordless power tools, and even they are slowly changing over to Lithium.
Lithium batteries, the kind of batteries in cell/smart phones, Vita, MP3 players, laptops, etc., will last longer if you keep them fully charged as much as possible. Just charge them whenever you get the chance, no matter how much battery life is left. I did this with my PSP launch unit and the battery lasted for about 3 years of fairly heavy use. In fact, the battery didn't take a crap until I stopped charging it regularly and occasionally charged it after it had drained from sitting around. Hope this helps.
What the fuuuuu?
Yeah they do, I pre-ordered one yesterday. Just select among the the 4 options:

Weird, if you just search for it, it doesn't come up. Thanks!
Yeah, I just noticed that it's not actually listed at all and only available when you click on any of the other sized cards.
Weird.

This is disappointing. The stick buttons are usually well implemented, sprinting in an FPS, for example. Wonder why they left that out, especially with only 2 shoulder buttons...
They probably thought the touch screen or rear-touch could serve as suitable replacement inputs.
I live in Michigan and I've never been to Hell
Then you never been to detroit
I bought this on the Japanese launch, it's great fun. I enjoyed it a lot more than the Golden Abyss.
How are the trophies?

I'll probably get it
launch is getting too expensive
edit: guess I haven't made my launch list before
PS Vite First Edition bundle
2x 32GB memory cards (leaning towards getting two, one for Vita games and the other for PSP games but not committed, it'll depend on finances)
Screen Protector (Hori or Sony)
Hot Shots Golf
Wipeout 2048
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Virtua Tennis 4 (I really enjoy tennis games though would prefer another Hot Shots Tennis title)
and MLB 12 The Show when it comes out
then my on the fence titles
Army Corps of Hell
Shinobido 2
BlazBlue
Uncharted (solely because of the price)
I am going all digital so hopefully we'll see a nice little discount for PlayStation Plus members

hahaha I really wanna get it and wish it were a 15th title and now i have been thinking of getting it as well as the Shinobido 2
Haha, awesome!
I don't really pay attention to trophies, but it seems i have 24% of them after the first 25 odd stages (after 20 is where you see the credits) there are 40 stages in total.
Im so pumped for the Vita : D 12 more days for me.
My launch list is:
PSVita First Edition Bundle
Little Deviats (of course)
Uncharted :GA
Raymond Origins
Modnation Racer
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
Army Corps of Hell
16GB PSVITA ...memory card
Window Games:
Warriors Lair
Gravity Rush
Sound Shapes
On the fence:
*Unit 13*

Why are you getting a micro SD card?
Sounds good to me.
My first three games will be Army Corp, Shinobido 2, and Katamari.
Because that is what it really is, but probably called different by Sony.

No. Vita takes a one of a kind memory card. If you buy a Micro SD, you will be disappointed.

I would but I sucked at the PSP version so I doubt I'll be any better with the new one

I will when the price drops at least $10. I enjoyed the first one but it isn't the type of game I will spend that much time on.

I'm picking it up just for the awesome soundtrack.
Also, has anyone started seeing actual Sony commercials for the Vita? I know they have the Taco Bell thing going on but I've yet to see a Sony sponsored ad for the Vita.
There is a lot of speculation that it was to do with durability. If the button in your DS3 breaks is a pain but fine, you need a new DS3. If the button goes in the Vita you need a while new handheld. That's never been confirmed though so treat it like you read it on Kotaku or something.
With the front and rear touch though there should be more than enough options for things as they are needed.
Even without the online head to head in Modnation (which could well be getting patched in) I'm still quite looking forward to seeing what it's like and most impressions of it from a gameplay point of view are very positive which is always good.
I do think they might suffer with not having H2H ready at launch though. I couldn't give two shits about H2H as my internet connection is so bad that it makes online play next to impossible anyway (until the end of March according to BT, though I'm not banking in that!).
That plenty of Vita games seem to be implementing a-sync options quite well is cool. It should be good for those that don't want to or can't play online but who still want to compete with friends.
Something else that might be cool would be personal leagues that are not tied to your friends list. I don't think any game supports such a thing but being able to compete against all of GAF and view times and stats properly supported in the game without having you all as friends would be cool. You'd just have to enter the leagues code and a password or something and you'r signed up. Much like leagues on fantasy football.
But yeah, Wipeout all the way. Gene even said so in video blog 6 and who can argue with that?
Not a sausage here in the UK. But hey, it's only going on sale in what 18 days? Why tell consumers that you are releasing a new product?

anyone think some uninformed casual gamer will buy Army Corp of Hell thinking its HELL-YEA-ANOTHER-COD-GAME!!!!!! then realize its WTF-IS-THIS-LEMMINGS-GAME??!?!?
and couldnt Square think up a more western name other than Army Corp of Hell???? wouldnt the real US Army consider some legal action to prevent any sort of misuse of its name? Japanese gamers like to bring over games with literal translated names....Shin Megami Tensei.....Baiten Kaitos......Katamari Damacy (not to say the games are bad, but talk about limited western marketing appeal)

EDIT: I can't wait for my vita 3G w/ Hot Shots & Wipeout.
I'm hoping for some b1g1 deals during launch week for other games.

The older I get the more I dig asynchronous MP. Competitive gaming done completely on my time. I would love modnation to have H2H as well but if I had to choose only one I would go with asynchronous. I'm very excited for that game 
Now I wish Robot would port over Hero Academy so I could throw my iPhone in the trash.

Random: I really want to see a PSV FPS that allows you to drag your finger on the back touch pad like a mouse.
If I remember correctly, Toys R' Us was the first retailer to offer a B2G1 free deal for 3DS games at around launch. Best Buy at 3DS launch had a $20 gift card bonus if you bought 2 3DS games. I'm sure we'll see something like that this time. Hopefully they both do the same for Vita.
It'd be the only way I'd buy Uncharted: GA for $50.

Toys R Us had Buy 1 get 1 50% off on 3DS games the week the 3DS launched. I don't doubt we'll see something similar to boost launch day sales from some store.

Yep. That's the reason I'm not preordering most games. Only two games I'm ordering for sure is HSG and Wipeout since they got their price raised. I'm already locked in for 25% off each which is the same as B1G1@50%. Best case scenario is 33% off each game.
You know, I'm thinking money-wise it might actually be smartest to buy the Vita... and no games with a physical presence at all. Well, maybe Hot Shots Golf and Wipeout from Amazon (or anyone else selling for $30), but otherwise there's going to be at least a few good launch day PSN titles, so the system doesn't have to lay neglected at first.

I've got a couple questions. I'm almost pretty sure of the answers but I just want confirmation.
1. Will every game that gets a physical release have a downloadable version?
2. Will everything currently on the PlayStation store, and any games that will be on the store in the future, work on the Vita? (Corpse Party and Grand History Knight are two I have in mind)

So I did remember right. Sorta. I'm gonna hold off on buying any game except HSG.
I'd totally give a game like Army Corps of Hell a chance if I could get it as part of a deal.

1) That's the plan, yes.
2) Well PS3 games won't work, and PS1 games won't work initially. PSP, PSP Mini, and Vita games should be fine.

1. Yes, I think it is something Sony is requiring. (It is true up to this point, anyway)
2. Not everything, but only a rare few PSP games don't work (and support is still being added). Corpse Party and GKH are both up in Japan on the Vita store, so they should work in the US.

Even better. There's no internal storage, right? I'd need to get one of those memory cards? How large have the file sizes been for the games so far?
