This thread and impressions have sold me. Was going to wait for inevitable price drop late summer but I'll use some gift cards and trade in promos to pre-order today.
Haha my thoughts exactly XD.
Kinda sucks even tho I would get my PS vita earlier I would still have to wait for the memory card since I ordered from to different stores XP. Or it could be the other way around.

pretty sure that's the Canadian bundle so it doesn't have one
New video for Fifa 12
In this video you see all the game modes, and a close look to the player. They really did a great job. I still don't see any slowdowns, but it is confirmed there are some. Let's hope for a patch.
Ah, the new IMPACT ENGINE is not in this game (of course, I'd say).

I don't get it, the image gets rotated automatically. Anyways, here's an iPod pic of Ys Chronicles on my PSV :
I'm guessing that the screen capture wasn't an option when playing the game on the Vita itself here.

Nah, it was more that people would probably say that I upscaled a PSP pic and post it here.
I believe that feature is disabled for all PSP games.

Some guy on YouTube put up a rant that there's nothing inside his VT game case. He opens the case in the video, and there's the card. He was actually ranting that there was no manuals or anything inside the case. He felt he was ripped off on a "$50 product".
1) I think the manuals are all on the card itself somewhere
2) Who reads manuals?

Nothing more exciting than a good legit launch. I think the gamer in general should be really excited for this. I'm in full on giddy hype.
And for those asking about PS1 games on Vita, consider this - Sony may have to enable some kind of new embedded DRM or extra bits to make the game attach and work right. Considering they are enabling tons of things to work across 3-4 devices, I think we should be patient. When things get moving on that front with stuff like PS Suite, I think a lot of people are going to be surprised and happy that these things are baking for the right amount of time.

How does Ridge Racer look on the Vita?

The manuals are indeed on the card, and you can quickly switch to them with a press of a button. For my money, this is a fantastic way to provide much greater content, much nice content and completely preserved content in regards to manuals.
What a toolbag this fellow is.

Great, and it's a lot more playable.
Not happy that US games take on the X & O swap on the Hong Kong Vita I have.
Would have thought it would not be an issue as the system is Touch only and the games usually dictate which button does what.
Hot Shots Golf is X to cancel and O to go ahead, also saw the Youtube vid of Fifa and it was the same swapped button set up. Cannot change it on HSG in any settings (Not sure if it can be changed in Fifa)
Anyone else with an Import got any other US games to test?
Killzone Liberation PSP is correct though.

While not every game needs manuals (certainly some of these popular FPSes don't) some could stand to have a source on hand you could readily flip through, namely RPGs or at least games that might have a particular action you need to look up, and it WILL be a shame if this isn't just a publisher-by-publisher call but actually mandated by Sony that the only things allowed in a case are the game card and codes to put in.
Still, the on card manuals are an acceptable compromise (especially if they can speed up reading them in firmware updates or whatever), plus it mimics paper manuals in style rather than the help menu that the 3DS on card manuals are. I do kind of like having at least the fold out Nintendo's had for Zelda/Mario though, and it seems Japan had that much.

I'm curious about this game, and want it, but I want to wait until they either release a lot of DLC content, a retail version with a bunch of dlc pre-loaded, or put a season pass kinda thing out there for all dlc after dlc becomes available.

Blarg, just wanted to vent for a second. I did two batches of trade ins on amazon, I had submitted one, then later that night realized I wanted to trade some more games, so I submitted another. I put both batches in the same box, each with their paper print outs of which games go with which batch. The first batch got approved and paid but the second one still says not received! It says not received because amazon thinks it's in a separate box with a separate shipping label. I opened a ticket with support and they said they'd look into it. I'm sure it'll get resolved but it's preventing me from preordering Wipeout! I wont be able to do the free release day delivery and will likely have to pay more to get it here in time for the 22.
First world problems I know, I was still able to order the vita, uncharted, and the memory card, just a bummer that I can't order Wipeout yet.

I love full colour manuals so it's a little disappointing. At the same time I have to face the fact that manuals are dying out. Also, the manual is on the game card. It shows up in the Live Area screen before you launch the game.
Also: it really is a shame that game prices slowly creep up, yet packaging keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. On one hand I imagine this DOES serve the purpose of Sony (possibly) to push people to digital distribution, but then I think retailers might not have as much to fear if they didn't PUSH for packaging to get cheaper, because honestly only good deals and card space push me to even bother with retail here. But cheaper packaging is probably more a Walmart thing than a GameStop one though, since it was them that was publicized wanting to reduce the weight of shipments.

My girl isn't going to be available on Valentine's Day so we are doing stuff on the 15th. I'm going to be thinking about my Vita sitting at home the entire time.
I need to hand in my man card.

This might be stupid but I heard Vita game cases hardly has a new game smell. Usually when you open a game case you get like a new car smell.
Is that the case?
I got a stupid curiosity right now.

Although we are going to do our Valentine's Day stuff on the 14th, I DO have to work until 8:00 on Wednesday so I'm VERY disappointed.

It should since it's listed in the OP as a compatible game. DCharlie got it to run on his Vita. Are you going to play it with the same account as you buy it with?

PS button
Check the status of your PS Vita system by seeing how the PS button lights up or blinks:
Lights up blue The system is on (including when power is being supplied).
Blinks in blue The system is entering standby mode.
Blinks slowly in blue There are new notifications, such as those generated when messages arrive.
Lights up orange The system is charging, either in standby mode or when the system is turned off completely.
Blinks in orange The system is charging, but the battery charge is too low to turn on the system.
In this case, wait until the PS button lights up orange.

Hi guys my first post here (hmm i registered around Japan lauch but got my account approved last week 
)
Question to early adopters - do you think on screen protective filters are necessary ?
And for people with early bundle - how is the map application ? Is it accurate with GPS tracking ? And does it support any driving directions ?

I never had any kind of protective filters or cases for my electronics. It's not necessary if you take care of your gear.
The map application is basically google maps.

It's plastic, not glass, so will scratch easily.
Maybe they briefly posted an updated version, sigh. I just bought it on UMD a week or so ago before deciding to double dip so I could play it on the Vita...I don't get it, the image gets rotated automatically. Anyways, here's an iPod pic of Ys Chronicles on my PSV :
