maybe find a way to not underclock the system...
Sony doesn't really have a say in the latter.
Yes. They will also need to consider other more important areas to throw their technical teams at though.
Yap ! It's probably more fruitful to focus on some other stuff first, rather than 4G.

Only if it allows for you to play online anywhere, which I assume it would.

Not sure what the point would be. It's not like they are going to run out of copies.
If all people want is anywhere gaming, the current gen 3G Vita would work too. Just get a Mifi device (powered separately) for 4G connectivity. The built-in GPS can continue to provide accurate geolocation.
They "only" need to improve the stateless PSN connection in the firmware today.
Theres the bioshock and some other costumes you get for pre-ordering it physically, just wondering if you can get those if you buy the digital version instead

Those are usually retailer specific
Depends on the game. For Gravity Rush they gave the DLC bonus to everyone that bought it the first week on PSN, for Resistance they didn't bother with the pre-order bonuses at all.
With PSN Play and some EA Sports games this year they're giving pre-order bonuses on PSN.
So I imported Ragnarok Odysey from Playasia.com and it arrived today. I got the Chinese/English version and it is glorious! Huge PSO influence and it plays better than MH (which I a huge fan of). Awesome game, highly recommend it for anyone wanting a new Vita game, and it only took 3 days to arrive.

I want to play the hell out of this game, but don't think it's worth it to import. What was your final price?
If they have resources to implement 4G for Vita, I'd rather they improve PSN usability and community services on Vita. e.g., Allow us to choose an always-connect mode for PSN (if we are connected to a wall socket).
Heck, they can even explore cross PS3-Vita community services like Cross-Game-Chat, 2D Home game launching to beef up PS3's capability. PS3 suffers from limited memory, running an integrated PSN community service on Vita to host Cross-Game-Chat for PS3 games for example may be interesting.
It became even more interesting with the Gaikai purchase.

$40.99 with free shipping. I paid $12 to get it sooner. Totally worth it.

oh, well damn.
That is sweet. I'd probably just wait to get the price more like retail. Might have to look into that.

Monster Hunter never caught my interest based on how SLOOOW everything is. You walk/run slow. Enemy battles are slow. Attack animations are slow.
After watching some game play footage of Odyssey, It looks like it has way more action than the Monster Hunter series with a lot more action.

I bought the 3G. For $3 more and comes with 8GB card, why not?

It's normally $50 more and I would imagine that many people--myself included--are not interested in paying for an extra data plan.
Did you like PSO? Its more like that than MH, except the upgrade system. The combat is pretty fun. Launchers and air combos!

Nope, I got it from lockerz. No tax and free shipping.

Never played PSO. It looked interesting, but I didn't own a Dreamcast. I'm going to pick up RO and pretend it's the PSO I never got to play.

It's also for PS2, 360, and computer. But yea, it did come out on dreamcast.
Oh yea, gamecube as well
Damn this thread. I was content waiting for the U.S. release of Ragnarok Odyssey in October until I saw you could get the Chinese+English version for 10.00 more, now. Just bought a copy off the eBay for $49.00 with free shipping. Granted, it will take a couple of weeks for me to get it but that is fine.

Jesus, really? Guess I've been way out of the loop on this one. Is the 360 version worth picking up now?
I was gonna recommend playasia to, but they are apparently sold out. I will be double dipping on this game in October.

It was PtP when I played. MMO and all that. Fantastic game.
I actually made about $1,400 playing the game selling money

8 days left until the PS1 support update. I'm actually a little nervous. lol.

Feels like PS1 is about to get re-released lol.
Heh heh, I'm more curious to find out what else is in 1.8. ^_^

It's a very small addition, but I'm glad that I can navigate the menus with the D-Pad instead of touch.
Yeah, I mean the unpublished/stealth ones !

I hope they fix the Friends app refresh problem. I can't even use it to manage my friends list because it is constantly shuffling and updating the list. So irritating.
with all the recent 3DS XL buzz, I seriously forgot this was happening.

I wish I could get excited for PS1 titles, but I just can't.

A simple thing like Friends list should be always loaded in the background. I really hope in future updates we won't even need to open/update the app anymore.

Klonoa on my Vita is life.
Yep, it's the only PS1 game I really want to play day one. Luckily, most of the other games I want to play are common enough that I imagine they'll be in the first batch.

Amazon states 10/16/2012
1. Ragnarok Odyssey (NA) still does not have a release date despite what any retailer's placeholder date is. Word on the street is that there is a slight chance you can expect a release date announcement sometime this week.
2. Do not play PSO because it has not held up at all (and honestly wasn't even that good to begin with compared to other MMOs on the market around the same time). Play the PSP games or wait for PSO2 instead to get your Phantasy Star fix.
