We now know Little Deviants FEB is boxed.

The question is can it be re-sold? Does it have one of those not for resale stickers on it?

I'd hop on the FEB train if I could sell Little Deviants and the 4GB card.

Is the 4 GB memory card boxed? I want to sell mine when I get it.

You can always sell in on Craigslist or eBay, nobody will ask if it has a sticker.
 
Dynasty Warriors NEXT is the only Japanese game release that I've known to come out with a substantial upgrade/patch/update some time after release.

Andriasang had the scoop yesterday with some shots.

Improvements like more troops on-screen, better lighting, etc.

If only Namco would take lessons from them.
 
my wipeout 2048 order just changed to shipping soon and amazon charged me for it. hopefully this means everything is shipping soon. a guy can dream.

Did you have it set to Release Date Delivery before?

I chose Release Date Delivery, and my status still says Not Yet Shipped. :(

I wonder if I'll get screwed.
 
Not liking what I am hearing about Uncharted, which is really a shame as most of my other launch games got screwed up somehow too (still excited but a little mad).

Namco fucked up Ridge Racer, and while I love Lumines all those licensed tracks are a let down as I was hoping for an OST more like the original or the PS3/PSN game so now I don't think I am going to get that. Shinobido is awful from what I read, and I would love to see/play Ninja Gaiden but I have beat that game 4 times already and I just can't justify $40 for the sake of curiosity. Really need Uncharted to not suck.
 
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.

Will the screen protector for Vita be the same one as Japan? I remember seeing a Japanese video on youtube showing off official Vita accessories and the screen protector would fit in the face buttons and use that to "dock" the screen protector in place, really easy to apply.
 
If anyone in Europe is looking for a 32gb card, just ordered one from PlanetAxel, actually works out cheaper than the $100 it costs in the U.S., which surprised me.

What are you hearing about Uncharted? I have the game and I'm halfway through, what's your concern?

I ordered Wipeout from Amazon and they also charged me and says "Shipping Soon", thing is, I'm from Puerto Rico and Amazon doesn't offer "Release Date Delivery" here.
 
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 wich 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 be a huge succes in the end... This handheld is to fucking nice to be a failure!


Nooooooo........not good impressions......I'm trying to hold out. :(
Oh well. I got the dough.
 
Anyone know what Gamestop is offering as a trade-in value on a PSP Go? I checked with Best Buy and they had it at $63, but haven't had a chance to see what GS is offering. With the extra $25 trade in, it might be better to go that way.

yes, i bought one today and applied it to the vita with ease.

yes it is set for release date delivery. all of my vita related preorders are. here's hoping it's a sign of good things coming soon. seems a lot of people are having memory cards get shipped. my 32 gb still hasn't changed it's status. if i hadn't been checking my bank balance online and noticed an amazon charge i wouldn't have known since i haven't got an email from them yet.

I've been debating keeping my Go as a collector's piece as it was really forward thinking in a lot of ways in regards to digital delivery, but I have to wonder if I can't just buy another one a few months from now when the price totally falls out from under it.

I believe it's $50 or so when used towards a Vita purchase.
 
Primarily that the touch functions are a bit off (planning to use buttons any way) and that the game looks like a jagged mess.

Touch functions are completely optional and they actually work very well for people grown up playing Angry Birds and such.

No, it doesn't look like a jagged mess. Buy it.
 
I can confirm that

Little Big Planet
Pursuit Force
Capcom Classic Collection Reloaded
Killzone Liberation
Ratchet and Clank

All seem to transfer ok from a PS3. I am still copying the games over but they should work...

(edit: sorry, no SOCOM actually)

old downloads from when the bubbles first came out, or recently redownloaded? Hopefully the former..
 
Because tecmo doesn't even know when it wants to release it, it was launch window 2 weeks ago, got changed to Launch Day about 5-6 days ago. smh.

That's the one game that I really wanted to play! :(

My Wipeout shipped from Amazon. :D

I also ordered Uncharted, the stand, and a 32gb card off Lockerz since I had a ton of points off there.

Ordered the red Hori hard pouch, black Hori TPU cover, and the Hori gloss screen protector off Play-Asia last night. Says they will be arriving tomorrow! (Buyer's beware, there is ALREADY knock-offs of the stand and all of the Hori PSVita products)

Is there any video/pictures of a detailed look at the US ver of the PlayStation Vita Travel Pouch? I am interested in it but need to know more about it first.
 
Zavvi Vita Accessories. They have quite a few cases there.

Dammit, out of the 3 I am interested in, none have a place to carry the charger.
Actually, I looked this one up:http://www.zavvi.com/10571929.html from the people who actually manufacture it (I cant remember, I think its 4gamers) and they have other pics which show space for charger etc.
I ordered it for myself.
Edit:
Here is the manufacturers website...really good case imo.
