Because hacking is exactly what murdered the PSP in the West.
figured. luckily the hack only exists within the PSP emulator of the Vita - no native Vita support, only emulators within an emulator.

It got a lot of people to actually buy consoles, though.
Does it have to have both?
I've sunk close to 80h into Dragon's Crown and I'm not even close to being done - 91 LoC floors to go. There's no story though. It might not hook you like P4G (which I've beaten in a week), but if you like it it's going to last a very long time.
Why don't you give Persona 3: Portable a chance when you think P4: G is the best Vita game?
Don't let the inevitable Toto P3: P rant hinder yourself from playing the game. It may not be as good as the sequel but is still worth playing.
Persona 3 Portable, Spelunky, Patapon 2.
Too bad that doesn't matter in the absolute slightest if they don't buy software. There was literally nearly zero benefit to the PSP getting blown open like it did.
Too bad that developers(sony too) make money on software, not on consoles.
Why do you think sony sells consoles losing money? Consoles only purpose is to sell games, hardware is not where the money lies.
With piracy everyone loses, why do you think we didn't get type 0, valkyrie chronicles 3 and other great psp game?
Why do you think there are dlcs, seasons passes, f2p games with in-app purchases etc? To force you to use official stores that are accessible only with original games(other than make you spend other money obviously).

mm off the top of my head...
guacamelee?
rayman origins? legends? ( though not much of a story)
sonic racing transformed - heard is good
virtua tennis 4 may scratch your hot shots tennis itch.
lone survivor?
you can try the Atelier games...
you could wait for Ys: Celceta or Tearaway to come out...
or one of the plethora of classic ps1 RPGS?

I can't remember a week without discounted Atlus games
Dragon's Crown is $10 off again ($29 Vita / $39 PS3), P3P and a few other PSP RPGs under $10.
Also Gods Eater Burst for $13, worth it?
what rpgs are on sale?

The Atlus sale this week seems to have Gungnir and Growlanser! Getting Gungnir since I heard it's pretty deep and tactical etc etc.
What's everyone's opinion on Growlanser?

I've looked into Dragon's Crown, it doesn't really interest me, but maybe I'll pick it up at a low price down the road.
I've been thinking about Lone Survivor and Guacamelee for a while now, how long do they take to beat? Do they have much replay value? I know nothing about the atelier games, so I'll look into them.
Well that settles it, I guess I'll get P3P since two people recommended it and it's on sale this week. Thanks a lot for the recommendations everyone.
Mind that it's not Vita-compatible. There are a couple of discounted games this week that aren't either.

I just played Hotline Miami for the first time yesterday. Amazing!
Bought it a few days back on a PS+ sale for 2,99.
And I just preordered Tearaway for 24,99(Jukebox Pack). I didn't know it was that cheap.
Probably my last two Vita purchases before Ps4 hits.

You should check out Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.It is about 40 hours, and has a great story. It is a VN with escape the room puzzles too.

The current vita hack is terrible and pointless. Much easier to just get a PSP Go

I'd disagree. I do not need another system around for more games. If I can use the hack to play PSP (or PSOne games even) that SCEA is too fucking stupid to get on the store/compatibility list for one reason or another, I'm all for it, and will be using it next time a game on the US store is compatible.
Finally managed to play some games. Persona 4 and Soul Sacrifice are amazing. The art in SS is nice too. Starting Killzone on Veteran difficulty was probably not a good idea, especially since I'm not that good with FPS games to begin with.
Was wondering if someone ran into a similar issue - when I first charged my Vita I did it via USB. It seemed to have charged fine. However, today I did the same. I made sure my Vita was turned off and left it plugged to my PC for a couple of hours. When I turned it on the battery was still at 20% - it did not charge at all. I've no idea why since it was turned off and I'm positive I saw the orange light when I plugged it to charge. (Had to order an adapter and I should be picking it up tomorrow. Hopefully that remedies the issue.)

Sure, you could play Crisis Core on your vita. The amount of work it requires just to get it on your vita is this issue.
Not to mention the firmware update 2 weeks later that won't allow you to access the store or play any of you vita games online...
Uh, Growlanser is Vita compatible ...
I am now a Vitabro 
The Vita is the first console I'm going to experiment going all-digital with, so I picked up a 32GB card along with it.
No game purchases yet, as the console + memory card ate a pretty large hole in my wallet. But I did download the demos for Spelunky and Rayman Legends, and I think those will be my first two games for the system - they both seem pretty great.

Just get PS+ and you'll have all the games you need.

Welcome !! It's a happy place in VitaWorld. You don't need to buy games, just PS+. And maybe a few games too. Tearaway is coming. And good job getting a 32GB first. I wish I did.

I just played God Eater 2 and Gungnir demos on the PSP (from the Japanese account).
God Eater 2 is a huge disappointment.
The game seemed a bit standard and not as good as I was led to believe based on all that God Eater Burst praise a while ago. The fights felt boring for the most part and the camera was annoying. The monsters didn't offer any variety, satisfaction or an interesting way of beating them. The one with the camera has to do with it being on the PSP, so that probably won't be an issue on the Vita. And granted, the missions are all very early and meant to be as tutorials. The fights will most likely be better than that. But I didn't have that with Soul Sacrifice and RO demos. I can't help having those first impressions with this demo.
Not sure how to say this, but the game is the kind of typical anime story/style that I don't dig at all. The story is way too serious for its own good with the whole Aragami and a world that's destroyed blabla. Then you have a bunch of crazy looking teenagers that have to look cool in cutscenes and with the way they talk just to reinforce that. The group who does the dirty work look like they just came from carnival and talk like they're in college, and the next moment it's all dead serious when Nana was about to get attacked by a monster and their 'mentor' teaching them the importance of their strength in order for them to awaken it. Then you have some of the female characters dressed like, I don't have the words for it, and act completely innocent. All the characters sound silly really.
One way or another, a lot of games made in Japan have those kind of stuff in them, so it doesn't sound different from others when it's described like that. Somehow this is way too much to tolerate. The mix of super serious while looking and acting that way is way too jarring for me. I like it when games go all out with what they're trying to do. If the game is meant to be all that serious and depressing, why not have better characters who can be more adults and dressed more appropriately? If the game is trying to be colourful and crazy in style, why not have a story that doesn't take itself this seriously? One that is more lighthearted and funny? Some games can have this mix of serious story and young characters that act silly, but they're usually not as strong about it and more convincing.
Now the good stuff is, the battle system. Even though it's pretty standard it still has unique elements to it, and I'm seeing huge potential in how good it can be. The whole switching between a gun and a sword, guns that have different bullets you can reload during fights, the special skills that you can learn and upgrade further, the different types of guns and swords, the speedy combat that controls good enough and most likely even perfect on the vita, etc. I can see why people might like the game because it can be very fun to play.
Not sure if I can ignore my annoyances with the game and enjoy it for the gameplay only *runs*
Now Gungnir, yum! That tasted good!
The description fits it, in that it is often compared with Final Fantasy Tactics. I think it can be quite a deep game, but it's light in comparison to FFT. And the timer and tactical points give the game its own twist, it makes it feel different because there are no turns. You can select any character you want, but there will be penalties if you don't wait for the timer to reach zero for each character. The environments also have a nice twist to them. Height plays a roll besides positioning. The story was pretty engaging for the way it was presented, even though it seems a bit cliché so far. The menus need getting used to, but they're okay.
The demo was pretty meaty. It lasted me over 2 hours and give me an idea what expect of the game. It's on sale now, might as well get it.

So the Ys: Celceta release date was just a placeholder?
Also EU seems to be getting it later next year.

Drats, It seems like my plan of getting around to purchasing Dissidia 012 will be foiled again. With the 50/10 rewards due to drop on the 8th, it seems like (part of) my $20 back will go to Gungnir instead, leaving me short for Dissidia.
It was 14.99 a few weeks ago

What the insiders have said is that Sony is making Vita games. They're just being kept really quiet. We pretty much know Sucker Punch is working on something. And there's quite a few SCEJ games announced. Then there's obviously the plethora of indie games. Which our dear Shahid #TheHypeMan Ahmad is working literally day and night for us signing.
First of all.. Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky buy it now! Then Ys, all the games.
I can recommend some PSP games. Growlanser, Valkyria Chronicles 2 (if you own a PS3 and haven't played the first one, I don't know what to say), Mana Khemia (as a PS2 port it's meh, as a standalone game it's awesome).
Since we are in Gust territory go make some pie in Atelier Totori+, if you play Mana Khemia you'll familiarise yourself with basic concept of alchemy, which isn't as complex as it is in Totori. And while in Vita territory Disgaea 3, unless you played it on PS3, Absence of Detention is certainly definitive version though.
Can also recommend Persona 2, Persona 1 is also good but even more old school, more like SMT games.

Shahid claimed that good progress has been made on that JRPGVita thing and that the titles involved are probably going to be announced in the near future. That and he supposedly greenlit 8 new Vita(?) games recently.
Take that as you will.
Wait what? You have been able to listen to your own music while in game since day one.
