I have always sworn by Hori shells in the past, so I imported a hard Hori shell at launch and in general I'm okay with it. It adds a noticeable weight to the system and tbh I don't think it would protect the Vita from serious damage if it had a bad drop (I've seen handhelds pop out of Hori shells when dropped on hard surfaces, would expect the same with this one), especially because so much of the Vita has to be exposed to just use the system (analogs, front/rear touch screens) but it protects my Vita from minor nicks and scratches and keeps it clean from fingerprints etc. so I keep using it. IIRC, Hori has a hard shell with a plastic "door" on the back that you can use to cover up the rear touch pad when you're not using it, but I opted for the shell with a naked back for easier access.
One thing to note is that there was originally a black hinge on the bottom of the shell that you could unclick from the front of the shell and twist back to prop your Vita up like a stand (at least, I think that's what it was for, couldn't see any other use to it since it wasn't holding the front and the back of the shell together or anything). I never used it as a stand, but it randomly broke off a month or so ago. I didn't really care since I thought it was just a superfluous piece of plastic, but just a heads up if you are interested in this case.
I'm working on the platinum for it. I don't think its worth $20. Maybe 10. Its just a port from the PSP game and its really boring/repetitive.

I'm having such a hard time deciding on what to buy between VT4 and HSG. So hard, in fact, that I'm probably going to forget to buy either one!
damn it

Easy way out: Buy both. :/

I went with HSG and don't regret it. Wish I played the series before this now. Great arcade-like feel that is fast paced and addictive.

Just paid off Persona 4 Arena after debating that for the longest time, so I've only got about $30 or so left to spend until my next paycheck. ):
I really loved the demo and I feel I'll have a better time playing HSG, but I'm downloading the VT4 demo juuust in case...
I played the first five minutes of Garshasp and it was the worst thing I've ever played, so you owe it to me to buy Virtua Tennis 4.
Nah, I quite like it.
I'd also love to get VT4 or HSG but can't really afford anything new atm. Still just messing around with different PSP titles, some Gravity Rush and Rayman.
Decided to rip open my 16gb and just put it in there, transferred everything across. No need for the 4gb now.

I'm still not sure what the hell Sony is doing in regards to advertising for the Vita. However I am somewhat happy and very surprised with what I saw today.
On the inside cover of this month's ESPN The Magazine there is a 2 page ad for the Vita Madden 2013 bundle. (Is it against the rules to post a picture of it?)
I have no clue if this will help sales at all but the more games and exposure that this system gets the better it will do.

It was my first Lumines game and I liked it quite a bit.
I found this at Elgiganten. Is this one the official one? It's around $10.
Oh and crap about the USB cable, duh. I'll try find one.
EDIT
Found the USB cable too here.
My charger seriously gotta be in the house somewhere. I gotta try look through the whole house again tomorrow, ugh.
I am 99% sure that if it is an advertisement you can scan it.
I'm thinking of picking up a Vita from Gamestop tomorrow because they have an offer that gives you Gravity Rush and a 4GB Memory card for free. Do you guys think there is any chance I would be able to get a sealed copy of Gravity Rush at the Gamestop or will it be some crappy display one? Honestly, if that's the case I'll probably just order from Amazon, which also gives a free copy of Gravity Rush and some protective film as well.
Also, any suggestions on protection cases for it? I don't really care for anything that fancy, just something good enough so when I put it in my bag it doesn't get beat up.

So... not even going to give it one holiday? Both the NDS and 3DS had slow first years. Most consoles do. Even the Xbox 360 had a boring first year (COD2 was the only standout). Whatever, though. See ya.

Do people use them ? I'm either playing handhelds muted or in headphones.
It should clearly have the entire PS2 library in year 1.
Haven't had any problems with them. I do find myself placing my thumbs over them by accident though, maybe that's why you may think they sound tiny?
No. It's not a real language either, it's a sort of gibberish mixed with French.
Yeah, it sounded French so I was like, lolwat?

man you don't even know what you're saying
I still need to get a case, so no help from me there. But the chances of you getting a sealed copy of Gravity Rush at Gamestop... the chances of it being sealed aren't nonexistent, but it might be a bit of trouble. If you look at the store locator for a product on their website, if it says [*Low Stock], that usually means it's a display copy.
Yeah, the speakers aren't very good on this thing... =/ They're just alright.
Not everybody's, just yours.
Uhm, its the game. I was talking to someone else about that. I had to play through the whole game with earphones. -_-"
Just remembered a Vita-related anecdote.
Back in March, I went to a Sony event, and they were demoing some Vita and PS3 games. I hadn't gotten my hands on a Vita before, so I was excited to finally try it out for myself. There were a couple stations, in one of which I played Mutant Blobs Attack. I wasn't thrilled with it, but liked it well enough.
The guy there, presumably from DrinkBox, asked me if I had a Vita. I replied that I didn't, and he seemed a little dispirited.
He went on to tell me, at this Sony event, that it'll be coming to Steam soon, so I should buy it there, if I wanted.
Wonder how Sony feels about that.

well I thought it was funny >_>
You broke his heart. You should track down the guy and wave around your Mutant Blobbed Vita.
Mine's domify. I'll add you.
Edit: Or not.Send me a friend request Kyon. It's saying that I can't add any more friends, but I'm positive that the limit is not 19.
Lunch do you mind if I add you too?
I don't mind at all!

namco not making a tekken game for vita is absolutely disgusting considering the hardware was made for it. What do you guys expect to see at the Tokyo game show this year? I'm hoping the situation with vita gets way better. I'm trying not to freak out since this is only vita's first year.
How is the Vita suited to Namco games any more than any other system?

The inside cover of this month's ESPN magazine :
I forgot how bad the box art is. I still can't believe they're going with that.The inside cover of this month's ESPN magazine:
Better than the old madden looking stupid with a headset on covers. Agree though still pretty bad.
no way. Madden rocking the headset was bad-ass.
