I was born in Canada and I don't think I've ever regretted moving more than right now. :3

Edit: Someone answered the question I was looking for an answer to.
Maybe he's a carnie. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

It's not, he's holding the vita further away from the camera.
When are we moving then?

Could you post some impressions? I am really curious how this game runs..like if it is 60fps with no frame drop and identical to PS3 version except a little graphical details.

So Uncharted is pretty neat, but the sub-qHD is putting a damper on my "wow" factor with the vita.
Which games out there are looking great and are running at native res?

From what I know, Virtua Tennis and SuperStar Dust until now.

It is. Check the feedback on the same page. It's really clean and cheap but is as featured as the Hori one. It also comes with the items I described in my post.
Bought, thanks! now if only I could find a good protector for the back touchpad...
wipeout isn't native res then?
i was pretty sure it was native res, but i don't own it yet to really check.
super stardust looks fantastic though. i played it for a second before leaving for class.
Worse than consoles holy shit :lol

Hey does anyone know what the Vita's screen (or rather the overlay) is made out of? Most capacitive touch screens for phones are glass so I was kind of hoping Vita was too as it would cut down on those ugly micro surface scratches. That said I am assuming its plastic, which if so is it at least scratch proof?

I'm right there with you, and I ended up making the switch. I am also leaving out of town for a few days w/ my job next Thursday, so it justified the cost for me.
I have a feeling a lot of people will be hitting that impulse now button around the 15th and getting it early. I still say Sony should have put an 8GB card w/ the FEB.
That's it? Well that sucks.

I wanted that other one posted the other day but they couldn't guarantee me it showing up before the FEB next Wednesday. It ships from the UK so I really couldn't take the change. In all truth, I only want to protect the screen anyways.
On the site they have a demo video showing how to put it on an iphone but the same basically applies to the Vita. I'm sure they will have a Vita one when it launches or at some point after.
This is Sony, it's plastic. I read a blog that someone who owned the Vita for a month wrote and he said there were no scratches on the screen but there were on the back touchpad. The screen isn't scratch proof but maybe resistant?
It is plastic and looking at the bestbuy demo unit it scratches quite easily

Does the standalone PS Vita Wifi include a memory card?
If not than maybe it's best just to get the 3G/Wifi bundle. Even though I'll probably never use the 3G, it looks like the best value.

Went to add golden abyss to my amazon FEB order and noticed it said I would get it on sat. So I checked my wipeout and hotshots order and they still say the 15th so I canx them and reordered them along with the sony screen protector. So now I will get everything except for the vita on sat.
Amazon change the shipping for the damn vita.

It doesn't and yes the 3G bundle seems to be the best deal.

I just made the switch too. My brain tells me that the 3g/Wifi Launch Bundle is the "better deal", but my heart says I really want a Vita in my hands as soon as possible. Maybe I'll come to find that the 4 gb card isn't big enough, but I don't plan on carrying any music on my Vita since I have it all in my pocket on my iPhone anyways. I also don't see PSN games filling it up in the near future.
sony is a customer of gorilla glass.

Yeah, I guess that's the way to go. Hope the free PSN game is a good one, or one that we can choose from a list.
I was kidding lol I just meant that Sony is trying to make the Vita as cheap as possible to be competitive.
I'm hoping it's Super Stardust Delta or Escape Plan.

I just came back from "Media Markt". The biggest hardware and software store in The Netherlands. I've played a couple of demo's on the PS Vita. Some impressions.
- That 5'' OLED screen is very sharp and has really vibrant colors! The size is perfect for a handheld!
- Analog sticks are smaller than it thought it would be. It takes time to get used to.
- D-pad is a huge improvement over the PSP one! And yes, even better than on the DualShock (!) It's now actually a real D-pad...
- Buttons are also very small, just as small as on the DS Lite (i think). But it's not a problem, they feel good.
- Shoulder buttons have a more analog feeling to it. I like it!
Wipeout 2048
It blew me away!! Wow, this game. THIS GAME! Graphics are unbelievable, it looks better than Wipeout HD on PS3! Trust me! There is much more detail and particle effects on the screen and the sense of speed is perfect!
I can tell the game is running on 30 fps but it didn't bother me. Loading times were not that great... But there is patch coming out on 22 Februari that will improve loading times.
- Virtua Tennis 4
Very nice looking game, animations were great. Gameplay was smooth. Will buy this game when it is discounted.
- Fifa 12
This was dissapointing. Gameplay is not as smooth as the console version. I noticed framedrops which is killing for a soccer game. Graphics were ok but i expected better, on YouTube it looked awesome...
- Gravity Rush
This game has a beautiful art style! Gameplay is vey original and feels smooth. Animations and hair physics were impressive!
The PS Vita is now a day one purchase for me! I will buy the Wi-Fi version along with Wipeout 2048 and Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
I hope the PS Vita is going to be a huge succes in the end... This handheld is too fucking nice to be a failure!

Fuck. Guess I am not going to play it until my Hori protector arrives, thanks for telling me. Shame its not glass but I don't think that has anything to do with Sony, more to do with it being a game console....how I long for a day when consoles are given the same quality materials as other high end electronics.
Did I miss something, whats this about a free PSN game? Also awesome avatar, great show, funny episode.

wipeout isn't native res then?
Yes, maybe Wipeout too, though the 4xAA is only applied when viewing ships on the ship selection screen. In-game there are some jaggies, but not too distracting like Uncharted.
if anyone ever questions whether or not a device has gorilla glass, they should try and see what the company's stance on screen protectors are. apple doesn't even sell any screen protectors for iphones in their stores anymore, and employees tell customers they don't need them. sony makes its own official screen protector for vita.
