Regarding those PS Mobile games... I just watched some of the videos, and wasn't too impressed.
Sony needs to be very careful how they handle PSM pricing. In my household there are 4 iOS devices and 1 Android. If we want to play these sorts of games we can, and usually for 99cents. And there are so many high quality (for what they are) iOS games these days, I am not going to just randomly buy shitty casual games for Vita. They need to be really good casual games. Sony needs to actually do some work here to make PSM a success.
Also, if Sony plans to ignore the existence of Apple and Android app stores, and asks more than $1 - $2 for these types of games, they will quickly learn a cold, hold lesson. And I don't put it past them -- after all, this is the company that actually had to figure out that gamers wanted games. Not the brightest bunch of suits there, but plenty greedy.

As I understand it, it is the same game as the ps3 one, but with all the dlc. Never played one but I don't think it will be different.
I believe developers set their own prices for PSM games.
Hmm, well that's good. Guess we'll see how it goes then.
EDIT: Hmm, I wonder if that Cthulhu Saves the World RPG might come to PSM? I would love to have that on Vita. Fun game.
Welp, there goes any hope I had of the game being decent.
Also, if it hasn't already been said, the WipEout HD DLC is amazing.
I'm sure i read that pricing thing somewhere but can't find it anywhere now, so maybe i imagined it. Hmm...
Indeed, Cthulu is a good game. Would be great to see on PSM
Developers are definitely setting their prices. The thing is most don't want to only sell their game for a dollar. They have to on iOS because that's the perceived value for them there. Kind of why Angry Birds was what, $5 or something as a mini. Lots of people still bought it. If they can get away with the higher pricing they most certainly will try to set the price higher than the iOS equivalent.
Indeed, i expect them to start higher and then they can drop prices if it doesn't work. if they start off low they're putting themself into the iOS trap right away.

Not initially, though they've talked about possibly adding it into the next version of the SDK.
If they do, they won't have plats though, i expect they will be like PSN games.

Well, if prices are going to be significantly higher than iOS, I will probably pass on most of them. I already have several iOS devices.
I would be willing to pay maybe $1 extra to have the same game on Vita, since the controls would/should be better. But if a game is $1 or $2 on iOS, and PSM asks $5 - $10 for the same game, then no, I won't pay those prices. As an all-digital Vita user, I'm already being price gouged for my games, so I have to spend carefully and purposefully.

Repeal your no trophy no buy stance!

Not all of them are games that are on iOS, but yeah fair enough. Like i said though, if they start high they can easily drop their prices if they don't sell. if they start at 99p/cents they trap themselves in the shitty iOS price brackets forever.
I'm more curious to see how sales and price drops work on the platform. Can they put something on sale or drop the price anytime or is it a Tuesday thing like with the Store update.
Mind explaining why? I might be interested
(1) Most likely SCE published games at the get go like Little Deviants. Minis, PSP, and PS One titles, etc .. discounts on Vita DD titles
(2) No, you will have to re-subscribe to get access ... think of it like Netflix. If you don't pay, you don't play
Probably a mix between Vita, PSP, and PS1 games.
You can play them only as long as you are a Plus member.

Would love some Vita launch games like NG Sigma.
It's going to be Little Deviants. I just know it.
One of them probably will be.

Actually bet mutant blob will be involved since drinkbox actually has an upcoming game. Sega likes to promote through Plus so I also think we will see Jet Set half off. And Machinarium (sp?) Could be a game involved.
That would be good. Then i wouldn't have to tell everyone to buy it.

Maybe later on down the line, but JSR was only 10% off on PS+ during the first week or two, so I doubt they would make the Vita version 50%.
You'll just tell everyone to get PS+
True. Buy Mutant Blobs Attack

You all know it's just first parties titles at the begin. (Little Deviants, Reality Fighters, Unit13)
Then it will be the third parties that sucked hard sales wise (Army of Hell)
But some real good PSone (Silent Hill, Vagrant Story) would be lovely.
If they put Alundra you'll be shocked by how crazy good it looks on OLED (even streched)
We may even get some PSP stuff I think, since they're kinda low on content anyway.

Of course. Will more than likely be Vita, PSP, PSOne, and Mini games to start with.

There can be
only one GR in entire universe.
Giant Robo.
My first thought was ghost recon.
I need a shooter , but everyone says resistance sucks donkey scroat, so I guess I'm out of luck for now.
Fine by me. I have all good games released till now.
And Newegg is doing another $12 off $50 preorders but DJMAX isn't on their list right now. Damn. Still doing the preorder by the Pentavision site.
I want free PSP games on PS+. I own a lot of UMDs I need digital replacements for.
These were actually gonna happen, but got shitcanned by their previous games' poor sales. Truly a pity.

Crisis Core and Birth By Sleep as Plus exclusives would be hilarious and it would probably work.I want free PSP games on PS+. I own a lot of UMDs I need digital replacements for.

Depends on the shittiest certified device.
Is that for sure, though? Because even the Xperia Play can play NOVA 3, although not perfectly.
No idea, guess you just have to wait for it to launch and see what developers can do with it.
