Preordered Sound Shapes for 12$ and got a nice theme for PS3.
Tried to play Fossball online but can't find anyone to play multiplayer with.

As much as I want one for p4ga and possibly Assassins creed, I think the last second ram cut, the fucked ergonomics for anyone with above average sized hands, and memory situation makes the hardware much less than excellent.
I disagree. Compared to the turd that is the 3DS, it's glorious. The memory situation is outrageous, but you know... Eh.
There was no last second ram cut.
And Vita is probably the most comfortable handheld so far, especially for anyone with slightly bigger hands than normal. It's (3)DS that can be uncomfortable to play even for people with normal-sized hands.
Ugh, that game. I suck at it. How about we talk about Ragnarok? I was ggong to import the Asian version to get it in August, but Amazone now says the US vsersion is out 8/21. That is my most wanted Vita game for this year, cant wait to grind.
Day one owners, do you still have a backlog for Vita? I still have half of MGS 3 and all of 2, still have to plat Uncharted, havent even opened Ridge Racer, and I have Mutant Blobs and a few other PSN games and Monster Hunter and several psp games to get to yet.
Halfway through my second playthrough of Uncharted (on hard), have to get to Level 50 in Wipeout and Lumines and I haven't really started Escape Plan and Stardrone yet.

As far as Vita goes I've been quiet and offline for the last few days. I can't really play much at the moment before the 32 memory card arrives. Since it's still not here yet, I've sent the store a one angry e-mail and they returned the money straight according to paypal. I'm going to buy an overpriced one in the shops next week and can continue playing on the Vita then. In the meantime I've been playing Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (PS1/PSP) and Yoshi's Island (GBA/3DS). Blood Omen is awesome. Yoshi's Island is good too and has brilliant levels, but I don't like how long the levels and the game is and just want to finish it already.
I want to play Mutant Blobs Attack and Unit-13 when the memory card arrives.

Ehh as soon as I finish UGA, NGS, DW, W2048, Unit 13 i'll be done with releases up to may 
Then GR and MGS
I blame Namco and God Eater - this thing consumes half my vita play time
Then GR and MGSI blame Namco and God Eater - this thing consumes half my vita play time
I'm the opposite, haha. I have pretty small hands which make the Vita a nightmare to hold. 3DS is perfectly sized for me.
I've platinumed Motorstorm RC & Gravity Rush, on the last season of Wipeout 2048 (but not done much else), 100%'d Mutant Blob Attacks, about 50% done with Rayman Origins' trophies, still sucking bad in Lumines Electronic Symphony, about half-way through Unit 13, just in the beginning of Little Big Planet Vita, done a few days of some brain training in Smart As...
I've still to even begin Virtua Tennis 4 & BlazBlu.

The 3DS does feel comfortable for the most part...until you start touching that d-pad for too long, then it becomes a nightmare. That was a big mistake, I don't understand how Nintendo could have done a mistake like that.
The Vita feels very VERY comfortable to hold imo. It's only the triggers that aren't 100% ideal and could have been better.
yeah I don't even use the control pad usually, outside of menus. the circle pad works fine.
it's almost comical how much I struggle to find a comfortable position to hold the Vita. A couple days ago I worked out something adequate, but it requires me to use the middles of my fingers to press the trigger buttons, which is pretty annoying.
It's tough being the apparently one guy in the world who isn't in love with the Vita's form factor
Definitely excited about Ragnarok. And I'm just messing, though TOM Blitz is a great pick up and play game.
I still have Wipeout, which came with my Vita, to beat. Modnation Racers, believe it or not, was probably my most played game. Though now I think its Gravity Rush.
I gotta say, at first I hated the combat in G.Rush. But when you start upgrading stuff to the max, combat starts to be more smooth.
GTFO. Don't you know? The Vita has no gaems.

Well, there is VG+. They will deliver things on time. but it's not really cheap except for the favorable conversion rate. I haven't used them myself ever since they leaked my password and didn't bother telling me about it.So, since planetaxel.com is dead (R.I.P
Should be cheap and fast if possible.
National Console Support are also reliable, but not cheap. If anyone else have better alternatives I'm very interested in hearing about them too.
Ugh, glad it's not just me. :\
Hm, NCS doesn't have any PSVita-games. :/
And the thing about VG+ doesn't really sound good, but thanks anyways.
Hope there are some other alternatives.
Couple questions....
1) How are y'all putting this thing in your pockets without the analog nubbins getting damaged? Seems like they'd take a lot of wear and tear sliding around in a pocket.
2) Anyone have that Nyko Power Grip? Thoughts? Doesn't it make the handheld an unwieldy beast? I kind of want one for the battery, but what's the point of a large battery if it can't even leave the house due to its now massive size?

I don't think I've ever put a handheld system in one of my pockets. I would use a bag or a suitcase if I wanted to carry it somewhere.
Cduniverse.com/Gamesuniverse.com has been problem free for me (have imported stuff from them to Finland). And other than the bad handling of the site hacking, VideoGamesPlus has always had wonderful service, although cancelling (pre-)orders from them isn't as easy as a press of a button (you have to send them e-mail if you want to cancel)So, since planetaxel.com is dead (R.I.P

Well, that's subjective, really. I'm looking forward to NSMB2, Paper Mario:SS, Luigi Mansion: Dark Moon, Adventure Time, Castlevania and Epic Mickey Power of Illusion as much as I'm looking forward to Persona 4: The Golden, SFxT, AC:Liberation and Little Big Planet Vita.
*i can't include NFS, CoD, Lego LoR in the list, because we have 0 footage/gameplay trailer - where as every game above has had some form of gameplay revealed.
But to say some games are better or a certain list is definitive, boils down to preference. I may love Frogger (I really don't like Frogger*), while another would rather infinitely play Bomberman or something.
Sorry for the delay in asnwering, been a little sick lately.
Thanks a lot, this thread made me go for the vita and get some cool info about the games. I'll try to come here regularly.
Well, my fear is that europe won't get some ragnarok love. i just hope xseed announces it, also im waiting for ages for their black rock shooter game release on the psp.
Thanks ^^. I made them in the gelaskin site. I think it's called a vynil decal but yeah it's a sticker, a really resistant one.

Guys, I'm playing gravity rush and loving it but I'm scared to beat it because of the major lack of games ahead of us

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
General consensus on MLB The Show? Amazon has it for $20 today, and I'm thinking about grabbing it, even though I dont think I've ever bought a baseball game, lol.

You have other consoles or pc?major games are coming though that would depend more on your taste
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The graphics are definitely not good. Looks like an up-rezzed PSP version. Gameplay is fine, though.
There are much better Vita games out there.
Both the 3ds and the vita both hurt my hands more in 15 minutes of play than hours of using a jack hammer/hours of digging it's fucking insane. I don't think sony has ever made something that isn't an ergonomic disaster.
I was under the impression due to a thread pre release on here that there was a late stage ram cut and that was a big reason why uncharted/wipeout have fucked frame rates.
There wasn't any ram cut though i think both wipeout & uc have good enough framerate but vita is a new platform so games would definitely be more optimised for it as time goes on

Man you guys must have a lot of time on your hands then because even when I finish GR, i still have the following to finish/start:Guys, I'm playing gravity rush and loving it but I'm scared to beat it because of the major lack of games ahead of us
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Unit 13
Wipeout
Mortal Kombat
Don't even get me started on all the psp titles AND psx (when its added of course)
So yeah, I'm good for like the rest of the year... At least!
The 3DS makes my hands hurt too, but I suppose I've been lucky, because I find the Vita the most comfortable handheld I've used since the original GBA. Have you tried putting a grip on the thing?
What will be your next vita purchase?for me it's lbp vita which is coming up in around a month and a half and currently am playing virtua tennis 4 & wipeout 2048
Why would it be collecting dust? From Ragnarok Odyssey'ss release onwards, the next 2-3 months for Vita will be absolutely crazy (or well, at least October will be).
Vita isn't an ergonomic disaster. My hands rest perfectly naturally on it, don't know what kind of freaky hands you have that they start to hurt that much after such a short period of playing.
That was just some BS rumor/misunderstanding.

Soundshapes very soon!!
Cod will be shown at gamescom...so wait till then before forming your final lineup?maybe there will be a few new reveals/announcements and yeah there is a very high chance sony will do a bundle deal for all stars and get games with high replay value like mortal kombat,virtua tennis,wipeout 2048 along with the dlc if you don't want to put the vita down
well, this will probably come to the vita so i'll post it here.
