That's good to hear. I had my 3DS sans-screen protector (had to send it in due to the bottom screen scratching issue, but besides that it was good), so hopefully it'd be the same for the Vita.
I can confirm this, just transferred them over tonight.

Which you have to pay extra for as opposed to free and updated.
Meh, 20£ for two all-time greats isn't that much of a rip-off.

I don't have a screen protector on my 3DS either. The only cosmetic blemish is a very small scratch caused by contact with the lower screen.
I'm using the official Sony version no issue for me, I rocked it naked for a week and got paranoid. I got a few scratches on my PSP when I traveled wih it. Sounds like the cloth is to rough which is weird.

No it really is. Regardless of quality. The Vita version shoud be sold at 2/3 of the price for having 2/3 of the content.

I'm not that perturbed by it. I understand people being upset about the omission of PW, but the collection is already more than 3 gigs. I think it would have been wise for them to discount it, but as someone who has no intention of playing PW, it doesn't really bother me.

They could have added a voucher for the PSP version, but they didn't even do that. I already own PW, but I can't play it until Sony decides to put the game up on the Vita store. This is why I hated the PSPgo until CFW.
Well, a quick look through Amazon UK shows that I can get MGS HD Vita for 19,67£ (from Amazon themselves) while the PS3 version goes for 35£. That's cheaper enough for me for not including Peace Walker.
Whoa. I might check it out. $24.99 right?
I don't know about Gungnir, but Unchained Blades is $29.99.
UMD player add on will be great and the best solution for Vita since the prices are crazy and Sony+other publishers being incompetent and don't want to release many their games on PSN (like Monster Kingdoms, Resistance: Retribution..ect)
Yeah, I still have the original Phat DS which has had to suffer through not only MY countless hours with games like Ouendan 1 & 2, The World Ends With You and Kirby Canvas Curse, but also my brother's and cousin's childrens' (I sometimes gave my DS to them for a month or two to play some new games), yet its screen is in pretty good shape. The only protection I've had for PSP and now Vita is the original pouch that came with PSP. That's plenty enough to protect it from scratches when carrying it around. Can't always understand how some of you people handle your PSPs & Vitas & DSs to get them in such a bad state.

Thanks everyone. I'm leaning towards Marvel because I just have never been a big MGS fan.
Wipeout is such an awesome game, i finally got around to playing the free DLC (i never got into on the PS3 for some reason) and its just awesome. i havnt touched it since i beat the original races back in Feb but these new races and game modes are lie having a new (2) game.
I have 6 races left in the HD campaign... hard as hell and finished the first two tours in Fury. Just an amazing game. Might be my favorite launch game and overall game for the system.

I've tried playing them all. I just can't get into them. The furthest I ever got in a Metal Gear game was MGS4 O_O.
Edit: ^^^ +3 on my phone and Vita.
Buy Marvel and I will curse your descendants.
JK, but I hope you know what you're getting into. I'm not a fan of the game.

I like the Vita so much more without a screen protector. I bought the 2-pack of official ones. I hear good things about the Hori ones, but my experience with the official one wasn't fantastic. It went on perfectly, but the touch screen didn't feel very good and slick anymore. Also, it had these weird lines that are hard to explain. Not the vertical ones people complain about, but something different.
No screen protector is much better for me.
Not the phone, in case it gets banged up in my pocket with keys or coins, but the VITA is always either in its case or in my hands, so I'll keep it naked for the time being. I don't really like how the plastic screen would break the clean continuity of the system's face.
I did however put a decalgirl skin on the rear touchpad. Matte orange, which looks pretty sexy.

^UMvC3 was my GotY last year.
Poor Duff. Every other post is totally different advice.
+4 or whatever for naked Vita.
Hey I'm fine with it! I'm glad the Vita community is so awesome on here. I'm glad people are being helpful.
I've never got into the Metal Gear series either. I was one of the weird ones that bought Zone of the Enders for Zone of the Enders.
And I really like Ultimate Marvel on Vita, I suck at it but it looks pretty, is quick fun while watching TV.

Less content + same price = ripoff =/= quality.

Hello GAF!
This being my official GAF introduction (long time lurker) - Vita Gaf had to be my first stop. I've been following this thread (pt.1), through to it's current iteration. Watching the JP launch from afar - the excitement of the Vita launch spanning months and countries....and weekly Media Create threads
Anyhow, picked up my Vita on 2/22 alongside the official 2-packs protectors,16GB card and Rayman Origins, Uncharted GA and Ninja Gaiden. I eventually picked up Mutant Blobs Attack and Super Stardust off PSN (recommended following this thread); as well as Gravity Rush, Resistance BS, Unit 13, Wipeout 2048 (+DLC), Ridge Racer and Virtua Tennis 4 (had MK, traded it in).
I also dove into a few PSP games, the God of War duo and UG&G....
I've been eagerly waiting to join you all, as this is such a warm community and I'm a pretty platform agnostic gamer (360, Wii, 3DS and soon an XL, iPad 2 and Vita) who's been a long time (9yrs.) member at another three letter gaming forum - but grew tired of asides and the lack of depth gaming discussions.
It's a pleasure and you guys rock!

Wrong. Gungnir and Unchained Blades are now compatible and transferrable via a PS3 system.

Welcome!
Thanks!
The one thing that's been floating atop the ether of my mind, and Yoshida had been kind of vague in his early tweets -
When is PS1 arriving for Vita? Is it still just "summer"? If so, the Sony stance reeks to me of the vague "soon after launch/we're working on it" bologna they've been piling into a Vita sandwich. I know it sounds bizarre to care, but I've been hankering to play the first 3 RE games again, especially on the beautiful oled screen....those and Medevil
Add Jet Set Radio to that same inquiry. ^_^
Attention J-GAF: anyone know if the Japanese version of Breath of Fire III is compatible via PS3 transfer? You can buy it on the PSN via a PS3 for 1500 yen, but it's not on the PSN store accessible through the Vita. I know the European version of the game works on a Vita, but that does not necessarily mean the JP version also works.
I encourage you to drop a PM to Maastricht or Androvsky. Both of them are more knowledgeable in PS Mobile than me.
I am still halfway through installing the Remote Desktop app on my Vita. ^_^

Good to know. Thought right now I don't wanna pay for $29.99 PSP games when there's a sale currently going on. Might pick up one or two Atlus games and maybe they'll have another PSP sale or something. lol.
I know this has been posted before somewhere, but what the heck. I saw it in yosp's tweet again not 5 minutes ago:
http://asia.playstation.com/PS-GAC2012/
I'm already working on my own idea but I won't make the timeline since I'm too busy. ^_^
I'll do it anyhow just out of interest.
My stuff works on iOS + Mac, and hopefully Vita/PS Mobile later, when I find time to learn it. [Shake fist at sky]
EDIT: Oh, is it Asia region only ? I'm in US. Anyway, I'm going ahead.... 8^P

Hmph, someone in Asia propose a revamp for Near please ! 8^P
Having a blast with MvC myself. I plan on grabbing MGS too for what it's worth. I just borrowed MvC from a friend and haven't been able to play anything else since.

Yep, it's why I stopped playing.
And it's not even just that there's no consequence for quitting during a match. You can quit even after it says "KO" and it still doesn't register as a win or loss. It should be immediate, especially considering how easy it is to just hit the sleep button, but alas. Garbage.
I can't find anyone in the "Player Match" (non-ranked) lobbies either. Basically, a waste of $40, yay :-D
Hit me up if you want to play - PSN ID is librasox

The reason why I almost refuse to play UMvC3 online on my Vita is because it's so easy to rage quit on it. Like, probably even easier than PS360.

I tried to get that other guy (one of you?) to get MGS for this reason. Nobody ever talks about it but it's the reason I barely play UMVC3 online and if I do it has to be player matches since there is less quitters there.

I'm doing it for the trophies, but you'll probably not run into it if you do player and lobby matches.

Welcome! I'll add you now.
Edit: My psn name is the same as my Gaf name for those who want to add me.
Thats how Hot Shots is for me. I can't put that game down.
I've been going naked for the few months I've owned the Vita without any problems. I'll admit I've not played many touch heavy games sans Escape Plan.
