A few responses to some of the comments I read:
Sly Vita had really sharp, beautiful visuals in gameplay, but the cutscenes looked off, with no cel-shading. I got the impression it was video, and not being rendered in game, because, despite wearing the Robin Hood outfit, it suddenly defaulted to Sly's standard outfit when the cutscene ended.
As for PS One emulation, the guy said that the demo units had some features lcked, such as adjusting the aspect ratio, and button/stick mapping, but when it's finally released we'll be able to adjust that stuff. Tomb Raider felt stiff, but FFVII looked and played great.

The Last of Us
Were we thinking this wouldn't be the case? I assumed from the beginning that we wouldn't have to re-purchase, just like PSP.
Some people had taken Sony not explicitly saying "you won't have to pay again" to mean "lol suckers are paying again".
Not sure why as you didn't with PSP or Minis. I think it might stem from people who bought stuff for a tablet or something needing to buy it again.
someone mentioned it around here, or one of the other vita threads... just thought id post it to kill the fud

Hmm... Joystiq said Sony confirmed the opposite of this:
ign said:
Unless they just mean "someday" 'cause joystiq said they were going to be released in waves, not all at once like that suggests.

I think he was mentioning it for the fact that all the games will be available for DL to the Vita. It was speculated earlier that Vita PSone Classics would have their own release schedule, kind of like they've done with PSP games so far. Hopefully this is true rather than the Joystiq article. I mean, PSone emulation has been done time and time again by Sony now. You think they'd have that stuff locked down. I doubt they'll need to "release them in waves" to quality check them.
Destructoid has previews up for Orgarhythm, Sly for Vita, and silent hill book of memories( which Jim actually is impressed by the game)

knew the answer to that one. now, who's doing the gungnir ot?...
wow! the silent hill game actually sounds pretty interesting (note: not a major fan of the series)...
Silent hill fans have to open their eyes and see sh:bom for what it is, a probably good dungeon crawler with an original(for the genre) horror setting, exactly what i want.

So, last night I placed an order for Gravity Rush on Sony's online store with express shipping.
https://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreSearch?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=&in_dim_search=&Ntk=&Ntx=&Nrt=&Nrr=&Nrk=&Nrm=&keyword=gravity+rush
When going through the checkout process, the order claimed the game would ship 6/7.
I called customer service and asked them if this was true, and they said yes. It would ship 6/7 and arrive with express shipping 6/9.
Ultimately, the idea of spending an additional $15 just for shipping made me cancel the order (total was $59.74).
Also, I work near a Sony Store, so I figured if Sony was selling it online, then their store's surely would too. If anyone was going to break street date, they might as well.
Well, I went down to the store during my lunch break and explained the situation to about four employees who were listening. One of them went to speak with a manager somewhere, came back once and said he was looking into it. I said I'd stick around and see what he says. At this point, I'm thinking, sure bet. A few minute later he comes back and said "no" again.
So, basically, you have Sony's online store selling Gravity Rush today, and from a Twitter search last night I found someone who bought the game at Sony's flagship store in Manhattan.
No Gravity Rush for me today

dude Gravity Rush R1 has been out here in our area since a few days ago
No matter how they release the individual PSOne Classic titles, they'll each have to go through a QA check - that's almost certain. Even if you have the hardware abstraction layer nailed down in the common emulation code, you'll still be faced with doing an actual implementation on the particular Vita hardware underneath opening up for all kinds of bugs, timing issues, strange behaviours only occuring in some games and not others.
That said, it can only get easier for Sony over time.
Kinda he grading scale is a bit strange
I really liked this concept from day one
anyways if someone can make the thread for vita game impressions from E3
No. And it's called Warriors Lair now. Don't ask us why.

For the Canadians about: Gamestop still doesn't have any of the fall titles up for preorder except for Assassin's Creed: Liberation. My friend says they might be added this Saturday.
Why???
haha
Seriously i was looking forward to an announcement of some sort
Btw, the playstation blogcast is going to be broadcasted live right now on the blog

They probably won't have one until after release if other CoDs are anything to go by.
I've been rather annoyed at not hearing anything else regarding this game as it was one of the titles I was hoping to pick up at launch when news of the Vita was first announced.
Has anyone heard anything about it at all recently?
I hope the next thing we hear is not "Sorry, it was canned"
So according to the PS Blogcast:
Gravity Rush,
MGS Collection
Pulsar (AR Game)
Grrrrrrrreat, PulzAR coming out next tuesday too!
Looking forward to and getting all of those!
Screenshot for people who dont know what PulsAR is:

Me to.
Tuesday getting expensive
$80
My vita deserves the love, my wallet will put up a fight
Pulsar is def. free?
i think its $2 but Gravity Rush should be $35.99
C'mon Buy One Get One 50% off... somebody surprise me...
Ah alright, I have $80,52 on my account, so dont they dare to make it more expensive =p
im still on negotiations with my wallet
I went ahead and picked up a PS Vita this afternoon. I knew I wanted one, but I couldn't decide on when I should pick it up. I decided to wait until E3, hoping much like the Nintendo 3DS, that Sony would have a bunch of game announcements or maybe even a price cut. However, it didn't really end up like that. But after reading some impressions about the games on the show floor and reading up on the upcoming games, I couldn't help but feel excited about getting one.
So I went ahead and bought the System, a 16GB memory card, and MLB The Show. While The Show may not seem as exciting as some of the other games out for the system, I really love the thought of being able to play my Franchise mode on the go by uploading my save to the cloud. It also helps that the game looks almost identical to the PS3 version.
I've also been following Gravity Rush for some time and it was a main reason for me wanting to pick up a Vita this week. I downloaded the demo and the game played just like how I'd hope. So I put money down on a pre-order (wanted the dlc) and I can't wait until Tuesday to pick it up.

Hey Gaf I've got a "Near" question for you
Anyone use the "Like" button and the comments on the Friends Activity Log? Sometimes I leave a Like and a comment but I don't recieve back any comment. Does the system advice you when you recieve a comment? Have you ever experienced or recieved a like?
Near is a great idea but it has been promoted so badly... (why this thing doesn't surprise me at all???)

It doesn't alert you, which is a bad thing because they'll never know unless they check.

Now I understand, that's a really big flaw... They could add an advice in the same way you recieve a present from a friend...
Very disappointed

Yeah I've left a couple of likes and comments. It should at least alert you if somebody does that. Maybe not a notification on the main vita bubble but maybe in near or something? I dont know somewhere.

Someone hijacked Jim Sterlings mind. He didn't even say a single negative thing about SH BOM and even went so far as to defend it lol. The new videos and impressions have made me feel better about it. There were other glowing impressions floating around in other threads as well.
AC3: Liberation live demo is supposed to go up next on the PS E3 stream for anyone who's interested. They were supposed to do it yesterday but had some technical issues or something.
