You guys would better off investing in either Ys or Legend of Heroes Trails. I think it was posted that P3P was 20 not that long ago.

The first three bundles make sense.. Why not bundle LS and DM together?
I'd love to replay LS/DM with dual analog.
Was thinking about purchasing games this morning on PSN. I like the idea of doing this since you can download as many times as you want but if I want to let my son borrow the game on his vita, kinda makes it impossible since he would have to reformat his vita and log in as me to download the game.

Everyone has differing opinions, but I thought the best PSP RPG was Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. I put over 60hrs into it.
My thoughts exactly.

If you have a PS3, you can download and store the game on it and transfer the game on 2 portable devices.
Yes. It works like the PSone emulator on PSP where you can remap control inputs.
With all the games. (They map the digital d-pad)

I guess maybe I was thinking about another game or an in store price. There are plenty of great choices though.
Anyone try that PS3 program that lets you play online with Vita PSP games? Can't remember the name of the app.
Really? This is good news. Thanks.

My hori screen protector order at Amazon just got its delivery date pushed from feb 7 - feb 14 to feb 27 
The right analog stick don't automatically map the d-pad, you can select what it maps (for example triangle etc. iirc).

It's called Ad Hoc party. I've never used it but I heard it worked fairly well. I don't think you will be able to use this on the Vita, but I am not sure.
Edit: Thanks mortimer

Adhoc party works on the vita with PSP games, or atleast that's what people have posted. It doesn't work with Vita games though.

At this point they should just release BBS on psn. It has been almost a year and a half since release, anybody that wanted it badly by now has pirated or bought the game.
There's licensing issues. It's not an unwillingness to want to release a PSN version, since both Sqaure Enix and Disney release a lot of PSP gmaes on PSN.

I imported a Vita Hori screen protector; so far, for me, that's been the only way to be able to apply the protector to a system that I get on launch day.
I know, however, that Fry's carries the Hori screen protectors; they might have the Vita one on the official launch date, the 22nd. For those looking to apply it day one, that's probably the best option, since an import right now would probably not arrive in time unless you paid a ton for shipping.
Oh, and Play N' Trade stores sell Hori protectors as well.

Oh, that makes sense; I heard recently that Square Enix and Disney go through a ton of debate when planning Kingdom Hearts games. I wonder which PSP UMD games are missing from the PSN store because of licensing. Crisis Core? I doubt it?...

Seriously? Most of the best RPGs for the PSP are available on PSN... You're missing Crisis Core (which ain't much of a RPG imho, despite being the prequel to an iconic FF), Breath of Fire III (never released in NA) and Brave Story (meh, over-rated), and some of the other earlier ones aren't there, but you have the Persona's, the Y's, Lunar, Half-Minute Hero, Riviera, Knights in the Knightmare, Hexyz Force... all the XSeed, NiS and Atlus games basically... not to mention the SRPGs like Jean d'Arc, FF Tactics, Ogre Battle and Wild Arms XF... basically, there's an embarrasment of riches for JRPG fans on PSN for the PSP, and that's before we start looking at all the great PSX JRPGs that are on PSN now (and Playstation titles will be playable on the Vita in short order, no doubt)... just look again...
I'm getting both Wipeout and ACoH because I'm weak...
and btw, welcome to GAF...
$39.99 - and worth every damned penny (but I got it for $19 during one of the on-line sales)
Ya, one of the things we loved about PSP games on PSN before Nov. last year was that you could install the game on five systems running the same account - we've got five in the house, five PSPs, and ran them all under one account, so I could buy a game once and my wife, myself and the kids could all play it at the same time (which is fun! "Where are you?" "How did you beat him?" "I can't get this puzzle!")... Now they've changed it to two activations per account, and of course, Vita will actually have trophies and social gaming functionality so you'll want to use your own account, so the incentive to buy from PSN has been significantly reduced... I'll still buy games there, but I'll buy on-line exclusives and PSN games and PSX games; main titles I'll probably stick to physical media until they loosen up the restrictions a bit...

Which version of the Hori protector is it? There are five versions in Japan. My local import shop has the touchscreen-only glossy one.
With the recent changes to the PS3 firmware, I think you'll find it's easier to just download games directly to each Vita. But the important thing is yes, two Vita's can be signed into the same account.
Yay, finally my account got accepted!
So, first post.
I'm also getting the vita at launch, but still don't know what case i should get.
I only know that i want a soft one.
Is there any good soft-case?
Well, i'm getting:
3G Vita
Uncharted
WipEout 2048
32GB MC
And maybe (if amazon.co.uk doesn't cancel it) ...
Rayman
Lumines
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
... thanks to the priceerror

I really want to go out to some Gamestop just to get hands on with a Vita. It'll probably look and feel way more impressive in my hands. Now it will be a matter if I really need two portable game consoles that I will hardly use . :/

I think at launch the only two I am getting is:
Rayman and Golden Abyss.
How necessary do you guys think a memory card is at launch?

All Vita features wont work without a memorycard, and you cant save in Uncharted without having a memorycard. So i'd say that it is very necessary

A memory card is absolutely required.
You guys, have you had the opportunity to try Fifa 12 in any store?
I'm asking this because this is my most wanted title but I've just figured out that the game has some major slowdowns (frame rate drops).
Look at this video at minute 2:00 (and after).

I'll echo the chorus by stressing that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is essential JRPG gaming crack for anyone that has professed to be a fan of the genre... past or present.
I've revised my launch day Vita purchase plan of attack as follows...
First Edition Bundle w/ FREE Uncharted: Golden Abyss - $299 (BestBuy.ca Reward Zone Deal)
32GB Memory Card - $99.99 (Gamestop.com - found a place that will ship to Canada early; scheduled to ship next Tuesday; should arrive before the 15th; still have an order for $94.99 at BestBuy.ca as a backup)
Hori Pitahari Gloss Filter w/ Rear Touch Screen Protector - $16.11 (PlayAsia Import - went this route now that the Hori filters have all been delayed to late February through Amazon)
Vita Cradle - $14.99 (BestBuy.ca)
Vita In-Ear Headset - $14.99 (BestBuy.ca)
Sony 2-Pack Screen Protector - $4.99 (BestBuy.ca) (will act as holdover until the Hori filters arrive - although they may arrive pre-launch courtesy of FedEx)
I'd be splurging on a case as well but I feel that's a tad presumptuous until I get a chance to see how convenient the First Edition case is in person. More GAF testimonials on the third-party options are highly welcome.
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend - $34.99 (BestBuy.ca)
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational - $24.99 (BestBuy.ca)
Wipeout 2048 - $24.99 (BestBuy.ca)
Despite the good prices on the games, I may can those orders and roll with PSN if they don't ship out next weekend.
My intent is to go almost exclusively digital and only the cheap prices and BlazBlue's 3+ GB size is keeping them in play right now.

Man, don't laugh guys (and the odd girl 
) but I actually quite dig the Protective Armour
Only issue I have is do you have to remove the rear-touch panel to actually use the Vitas touch panel?
Combine that armour with one of those full face Hori Protectors and you probably wouldn't need a case when it's in your [Man]bag/ruck sack.
I'm joking about the man-bag.

Yes, once one download is done it'll start the next.
I have a question regarding PSN-PSP games on a Vita:
Is it confirmed that PSP games can utilize the 2nd analog on the Vita? (to control the camera in Peace Walker for example)
If yes, Doesn't each game need some kind of an update or a patch to utilize the 2nd analog?
I ask this since it seems highly unlikely that any PSP games will get an update from their respective devs just for that.

Yes, everything can use it.
And no, no patch is necessary, since it's the PSP emulator's feature.
You can't download games directly on your PC through that app.

This is a question building off that last one....please god Sony tell me you have figured this out...
After I download a game do I then have to install it also? Like on the PS3. Or once it's downloaded is it ready to play? Like the Xbox 360?

The demo was at the kiosk at my Gamestop. It ran great and I can't remember any slow downs at all. That video is pretty crazy, I'm definitely hesitant now and will be waiting for some reviews and general thoughts before I buy it.
It installs itself automatically once it finishes downloading.

Yeah, but the install times are super short - nothing comparable to the ones on the PS3.So you still have to wait for it to install?
