I didn't know about the loading, but the last two are the big reasons for me.

As far as I know, none of the Vita games have anything inside the package. Except for the game cart.
Wipeout 2048 came with an online pass.
...which describes how to redeem said pass on the PS3.

They're usually a lot cheaper and I like having things in my shelf.
My memory card is small. I can preorder for pretty cheap thanks to promotions - my next 3 games will be $30 each.

I don't really care about amassing a physical collection of handheld games. So with Vita, if I think I'm just going to beat a game and never really care about it again, I'll get the physical copy. Then I can just sell it back and it was like the cost of a rental overall.
If I think I'll play it again in the future, I'll want the digital copy so I can just have it on the system whenever I want it. Swapping out games on a handheld just feels cumbersome to me.

Yep, even though I wont say 'no' to a good digital deal.
When I get a vita.
I resell games when I'm done 90%+ of the time unless the digital version is 50%+ cheaper I want physical. I also rent the vast majority of my games nowadays.
Also unless there is some r4 style hack that physically lets me use non proprietary sd/micro sd cards the price for the vita memory cards is so gross I can't imagine ever using them except when forced.
Exactly what I'm doing. I find the Vita's game slot cover especially annoying (also my only real complaint regarding the hardware),
That's weird, I have MGS HD and Rayman and both came with paper user manual.
I've bought them in Qatar.
It's the accessory port.
memory card
when was the last time you looked at a vita
Not so secret anymore. Thanks for ruining Sony's cool new Vita feature.

it's an umd reader that will never come
when i wanted to remove the memory card from my vita i actually looked in that top slot and was extremely confused why i couldn't find it, sure the memory card is small but goddamn i should be able to see and easily remove it
then i gave up and looked for another slot and i swear i couldn't find it, then i searched google for the vitas memory card slot, i felt so fucking dumb afterwards
i'm not making this shit up, i was really tired and i'm not so retarded usually

I bought a 32 gb memory card not to long after I got my vita in a attempt to go digital only but I quite frankly find it impossible. I spent 40$ on mortal kombat on psn. A week and half later its 8/10$ at gamestop. Wipeout new is like 20$ at Walmart and yet I think its still 36 on psn. I hate having to swap karts but its just not worth it IMO. Digital distribution sucks on anything that's not a PC. I'll be going strictly physical on 85% of games from now on.(not to mention vitas cases look cool.) Games like little big planet I will probably buy digitally though.
It'll come and just be exclusive to Japan and Europe.
try what
To be fair, it's the most logical place. I usually pull out the SIM card instead of my memory card. I'm a bit baffled as to why the memory card slot isn't on the side like the PSP's.
Phew, that makes me feel better :3

oh and if ps3s really drop down to 99$/150$ do you think Sony would ever bundle the ps3/vita together with little big planet to compete with wii u. If they improve on remote play(I heard the one vita now is just the PSP version and the vita version will be coming soon) and make sure its compatible will all ps3 games that could definitely compete with wii u IMO
Anyone know if theres gonna be a chinese/asian version of hatsune miku project diva f? looking at the prices on play-asia and £48 is b bit too much for just a vita game, if they included something like a cd then maybe id be a bit more interested considering that vita games cost mostly £29.99 here
It will probably be a long time before it drops to $99 or $150, wouldn't it? I figure the next drop will be $199.

there is a 16 gb model that is allegedly 99$/$150. The model we have now will be the one yo drop down to 199
I'm having a suprising amount of fun playing Puddle. Impressions in this thread were not that positive so i had no expectations when i tried out the demo but i liked it and bought the full game.
I'm now in the 3rd world and it's a fun, refreshing and quite neat physics based puzzle/plaform sort of game. Unless it goes downhill in the later stages, i'd say i'm really happy i bought it. A perfect fit for the Vita.

Hard for a newbie here at gaf. showed my vita and also asked for a little indecision on importing 2 vita games but the two of them got ignored in the conversations. it though xD
I second that, impressions here made me in doubt but i bought it and it's cool but very hard xD, but i'm only playing to have fun and finish it. platinum the game is a no no xD
Also bought velocity and gods eater burst reading people impressions but velocity hasn't made me play it too much, maybe because i'm a bullet hell game player.
Hope GEB is fun.

So, I saw a guy on the subway today just one handing a Vita. No case, nothing. He had weird 80s music I've never heard blaring from it, no headphones or anything, and he was in some weird groggy trance. Then he loaded up Treasures of Montezuma or w/e and started going to town. It just boggled my mind that he was just holding the Vita out, no case or anything.
I usually prefer digital, if it's a game I know I'll play for a long time and i like.
Though in the case of the Vita, as of right now I only have 2 games: Resistance (which was free) and Mortal Kombat (which was just $10). Plus my current memory card is only 4GB (was free also).
Have a few PSP digial games, but in no rush to download them.

I'm optimistic about the Vita. It's been worth it already and the more the merrier, obviously I do want *more* but as long as the stuff that is scheduled for release this year actually comes out, I'll be pretty happy.
Sorry about that. Took a look at them, very nice. But more generally, Welcome! to the thread. ^_^ make sure you get in on some GAF Vita chat.
Can't really answer your RO question, I'm just hoping for a relatively soon version to come out in the West.

LOL. Sony needs to be more agressive! They just let these ppl release games whenever they feel like it.
Maybe they're staying quiet because it's a bad game.
BTW do we have a release date for AC3: Liberation yet?
So I let my 3 year old daughter play with my Vita this morning for a few minutes (she loves the Paint app). I'm getting ready to head out the door and grab it (for those slow times in an office on a Saturday), and I notice I'm missing an icon on my games page.
Takes me about 10 seconds and I realize she somehow deleted the worse bubble possible....
Disgaea 3.... in the middle of post-game grind-a-thon.
Welp.... to bother grinding all over towards a platinum or move and never look back...

Deleting the bubble deletes the save too? o_o
ouch.... ;(
That would be odd, I think Disgaea 3 saves to the memory card. At least I hope it would.
