About 99% sure that I wouldn't either. For me one of the biggest draws was to have a near console like experience that I can take on the go with me, and I feel like a Vita with one stick wouldn't provide that for me.

Uh, what? Sure they are. Stardust is the free PSN game for activating AT&T service. That's applicable to both 3G launch bundle and FEB.
Most of them in the end it seems. Maybe SCEA and some publisher sit on their asses and allow holes to develop, but I'm hoping that if there's oversights it's mainly limited to games that WILL NOT work for some reason in the PSP emulator, or are delisted and thus in an awkward position like Brave Story.
This is really irrelevant at this point isn't it?
I'm sure I'd still end up buying it. I mean, I purchased a 3DS last year at launch even when there was virtually no software I was really interested in. :\
The second analog stick IS a big deal, however, and finally allows for what has become standard console controls to become possible. Dual sticks are used in just about every genre these days so shipping without them would really limit what could be done. A lot of PSP games really suffered with only one stick.

Crazy question, do the approved PSP games on VITA PSN have manuals? I thought I saw one in a video the other day.
Completely.
Still, I expect you to answer the question. I suspect it wouldn't matter for some but it's pretty much the main draw for me.

Honestly, I'm hoping that devs get screwed in sales for shit like this. I don't care about FPS that much, but I saw similar footage and was really let down by it (amongst other things).
I seriously hope sifting through the sea of Vita games isn't going to be as painful as it was going through the PSP library. While there were some amazing games on PSP, there were a lot of super terribad games, too.
I would never buy it, even at $150.

Not just compatibility but improved compatibility. Hint, hint.........

Definitely would still buy.
Yeah, I've noticed that the chimera burst into 15 fps lumps upon death. They have to get it running smoother before launch

I though I saw in the unblocking of thr FEB video that the 4GB card came in the standard retail packaging

The 3DS came with only one Analog sliderthingy, and I bought that...

What games does this fictional one stick Vita have? If it has Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D Land, I'm in.

That sucks... I wonder when the first good FPS will come to Vita? I really enjoyed Resistance: Retribution and Resistance 3 so I was hoping the next entry in the series would keep up in terms of quality. I can't say I'm surprised that it doesn't look like it will though.
KZ probably, Cambridge has some crazy talented folks.

Let's say Uncharted, with one left stick and touch screen controls in the place of the right stick. Same graphical fidelity and 5" OLED.
Isn't optimization like one of the last things that happens in development? Burning Skies is still some months off. Performance can still be improved for release. I don't know why people are already writing it off.
Although I guess the developer doesn't have a very good history.

I'm not confident in that game getting cleaned up in the next couple of months.

It's a typical GAF double-standard, they complain about the same old devs pushing out the same tired crap that exploits the consumer with poor practices like glitchy releases, DRM, expensive DLC...but they won't give a growing developer the first chance for projects like this that help build their skillsets and experience.

The cover of Resistance: Burning Skies is pretty nice looking, though. Too bad the blue box detracts from it (not a fan of boxes colored anything non-neutral).
Sure but it just seems premature to write it off so soon. But eh... not like I have any interest at all in the game so... let the bashing continue.
Not that I can see. And the list seems to just be sorted alphabetically. On the PS3, it's like, the last person to sign off is at the top of the offline portion of the list.
Not really relevant, but another "missing" feature I notice is that there's no obvious way (to me at least) to set a comment like you can on the PS3.

If I have Phantasy Star Portable 2 in my download list, can I download it on my PS3 and transfer it to the Vita?
The_Darkest_Red

That seems really stupid.
Yeah, but then in the review you get stuff like this:
Anything that falls "woefully short" in gameplay is not "good" in my book.
This is, so far, one of THE big exceptions. Just about anything else I could want to play that's on PSN is on the list of Japanese Vita-supported games BUT the PSP ones, there really may be emulator issues with them.

Mine, unfortunately, is not having a midnight release.
That's alright, I usually fall asleep before midnight unless I'm in the middle of working.
Will most likely take tomorrow off to properly enjoy the Vita.
It's early days. PS3 had a dog shit OS to begin with too. With enough feedback and time I'm expecting to see nice firmware updates.

If it still had exclusives likes Ys IV, I would probably still buy it. I would buy less games for it though.
There is a list of exceptions in the OP.
This is one of the exceptions. It didn't work a few days ago. If you get it to run, please inform me so I can update the list.

I just don't understand why they need to relearn lessons that they've already learned with the PS3.
You're right though, I do expect the OS to get better over time. It's just frustrating to see them making mistakes like this after all the experiences they've had over the past few years.
I find that a lot of reviewers tend to be really hyperbolic. And it's often because they want to look professional by using words like "woefully". If you read that paragraph, the reviewer also says it's average. That's probably what they meant. But "woefully short" is such a pretty phrase!

does the US vita have cool PS Network profile panels like the Japan vita?
the available panels on the Japan Vita are really cool, consists of all first party Japanese titles.
I would assume so.

I'm not interested in Uncharted with two sticks, let alone one and touch control.

Yes.
There's some basic art and animal ones.
There's also some Sony first party ones.
And then there's some weirder ones like Wild Arms and Rogue Galaxy.
I'm currently using a Gravity Daze panel.
Blue is Sony's gaming colour now apparently - the PS blog (at least the EU one, not sure on US) has a blue theme, the PS store is blue, the "PS" logo on their adverts is on a blue background, the Vita box is blue, the "PS" button on the Vita is blue...

Bleh. Not crazy about thr. What about the ad that was like the double life commercial? Will that air in the US?

How long for today's games going up?

I microwave steaks.
I wouldn't mind. I was one of those fellows who asked why people needed a second analog stick for the psp. Not to mention I bought a 3ds and i'm satisfied with that one circlepad setup (though I will be buying the circle pad pro eventually).
i see, i expected the US vita to have western first party titles
