That's a Buy It Now auction that will go unsold.
The most recent card that actually sold to someone was for $99.xx
Yup, it is on my radar now since the price is right.

Is the new one also a platformer?
Is it a new game? Or is the old one with extras?

anyone planning on getting the PDP trigger grips?
Yup, completely new game, still a platformer, but with some added puzzles and mechanics that take advantage of touchscreen and maybe motion (but not 100% sure on that one).

That's never gonna sell though.
The highest price I saw in recently completed items, that actually sold, was $125. With eBay fees that's not even enough to make a reasonable profit. They'd have to be selling for at leat $140 or so to make it worth anyone's time.
I think this is pretty good, as part of a campaign it does what it is supposed to do really well.
I'm willing to bet a ton of stores will accidentally break the street date tomorrow.
Several have sold for $140-$150.
I'm hoping this is the case, but computers might not allow non FEBs to be sold until the 22nd.

The thing you have to factor into those is are they international sales --- which obviously increase the shipping and decrease the profits. The whole situation is worth keeping an eye on though.

Yep, we got them in yesterday and are super lite, eager to try them out.
Hell yeah oreder just switched to "shipping soon" from Amazon. Im so ptitful I opened up wipeout on sun, hotshots on mon and uncharted today just so I can have something to open everyday until wednesday.
On another note my heart sunk when I opened uncharted and the only thing in there was the card. People complain about the online pass but at least there was something in those other boxes besides the card.
Sony you need to do like microsoft does with the 360 and give people a free week or month "data connect" when they buy a new retail game so they can be excited about something when they open those boxes.

Yeah, I'm surprised they don't use that space to advertise for other shit. You know, like their other games, or even telling them about the 3G stuff.
Very cheap.
You're joking, right?
Apparently in the Japanese one their was an insert advertising the previous Uncharted games. That would be a good idea.

Just ripped the Rise FM radio station from my copy of GTA3. I'll be using this as a custom soundtrack for wipeout.
What exactly is wrong with it?
We're discussing it over here.

Yeah, what makes the wait so much easier is Little Deviants, 4 gig card, and 3G. It will also be nice to know in advance what issues there are with the hardware before I get it.

Still a bit confused about something.
So Patapon 3 isn't on the official OR unofficial list of PS Vita Compatible PSP Games. And apparently it isn't on the PSN Store for Vita, yet it is on the PSN Store on PS3 under the PSP games section.
My question is do ALL PSP games work on PS Vita, you just have to know where to find them (ie if it's not on the Vita store and it is on PS3 store then transfer it)? Or does it have to officially compatible for the game to work on Vita.
I just want Patapon 3 since I sold my PSP but I need to know before shelling out $20 (I think it is) for it. There are other PSP games that aren't on any official or unofficial lists that I'd also buy from the PS3 store if so.

You'd be surprised. There were quite a few people in this thread here liking the ad.
Not all games work, but a lot that aren't on the list do work. It's just a matter of transferring them from PS3 to Vita.

Plz Let me know how it feels with the console, I'm on the fence about getting it and would like to know.

The point of the ad is 3G gaming. Isn't 3G gaming extremely limited on the Vita? And please point me to the data that shows people are desperate for some 3G gaming outside of Words With Friends. Not impressed whatsoever with any of Sony's ads for the Vita. Show the games. Show how the device is superior to the 3DS and smartphones. 3G gaming is not the strong point of the Vita. It's one of its weakest features.
I've read through the thread but I'm not going to jump in to have my head torn off
I don't really like the EU one, the US one actually tells you what the Vita is. The EU ad is just pretentious tripe. Minority or not that's my opinion.

The whole "3G gaming" aspect was misleading IMO.

Never under estimate the power of gaf to discuss video games instead of playing them.

Of course it is, just like the other horrible ad in which they make the viewer think the Vita is meant to play PS3 games on the go.

The ads does say, "Your spot in the leaderboards is always in danger or w/e" so it says what it has to say. Compete with your friends on the leaderboards over 3g

Ive been thinking if Im going to call in sick tomorrow but there are meetings that I need to attend. So my plan is to tell my boss that theres a delivery that I have to sign for that will arrive to my house sometime around 1 (my Amazon deliveries always arrive between 1:30 and 2:00). That should give me enough time with my precious.

Awesome press releases make me purchase things. I will buy this day 1.
UPS deliveries are basically the last on their route. 7pm door bell FTW
It seems more relevant and a wee bit more tangible than the branding ad, but not distinct or memorable enough. Didn't really create any urgency/desire for leaderboard anywhere or 3G gaming. People already do it for social games, and the whole social angle is missing in the video. Ad appears pretty lonely and uninspiring.
Given that it launches on Valentine's Day, it might have shown a little competition/co-op to beat partners or other couples. There is also no URL or other call for action to complete the loop. Would be great if there's this one world map on the web to show all Vita gamers anonymously and their collective score posting. There are a lot of things they can do to spice up the experience. If they tap on existing social networks and PS3 userbase (like Home), it should be more fun. And that is the whole point IMHO.
No, this is the guy taking a bus, going around town, worrying about his leaderboard position.

The bigger issue though isn't that it's misleading, it's that they're pushing the most stupid aspect of the Vita to sell it. "Hey 20 year olds, you're all coveting 4G phones and tablets, but here's a 3G dedicated gaming handheld...that can't really play games or download games over 3g."
Show the games. Put the awesome display front and center. Point out how much it can do that the competition can't. Show some poor fool trying to control an arcadey game on glass, and then show someone playing the Vita with buttons. The competition did 3G years ago. The more I see from Sony, the less confused I am about how they continue to lose so much money and marketshare.
That sucks!
