Uhh, no idea.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
I believe it's download only. Does Amazon do Vita downloads?
Not in Europe it isn't. It's retail
Rule of thumb, if the publisher doesn't tell you the price well before it launches expect it to be expensive.

Do we know if PS Mobile stuff is going to be available on the same store or if it will be a different account? Like I have cash on my PSN account, can I use that on PS Mobile? I haven't seen them mention that anywhere - though I also haven't looked.
Same store, same account. On Vita it'll appear as a header section as if you were switching between the Video, and Game store. A "Mobile" section will appear on Wednesday.
Ah, okay. Thanks.
I really like how they handled the PSM section (or will handle, rather), being on the same store but just a different header. Feels more cohesive. I figured it would be a different store with a different layout. But, my goodness, Sony NEEDS to add screenshots to the games (I know they do in some regions, but not US). It's extremely annoying.
Also, I haven't tested it since the latest firmware, but if you remove you memory card, put in a different one, and then put the first one back in again, are your icons still also disorganized, or do they stay the same place that you put them in? That always bugged me majorly. It's like they didn't account for organization+use of multiple cards.

Many websites and whatnot show different dates, so who freaking knows.
It really, really is. How the hell does something so basic and obvious get overlooked?! WTF, Sony? Seriously?! There really should also be streaming video of each game for that matter, as well as pro and user reviews.

Wait... which Megaman game(s)? The classics or...? I already have the Japanese import classics, because of whatever retarded licensing red tape that kept the English versions from coming over.
Well, he's honest. I'll give him that.

They did
Also.. totally missed that above - a Virtue's Last Reward demo? Mmm delicious, I have it on preorder already but I want to play it, never played the original so I want to see how it is.
Why should they give you it? Were you ever promised that your game would work on Vita when you bought it?
They did, but only in Japan. So, how does that effect me in the US?
Just like Einhander is on the Japan store (and has been for SIX YEARS) but isn't on the US store.
Maybe if SCEA/Sony themselves put some effort into the US market (like REDUCING THE FUCKING PRICE OF SHIT THEY PRICE REDUCED A MONTH AGO IN THEIR DIGITAL STORE) the PSP2 wouldn't be selling dismally.
Carl said:
Because the fucking game is up in Japan, BARELY has any English script/lettering and should be simple to license from Square and EA and if EA is the one holding it up surely they could get "import" license rights from Square themselves.
Same reason I'm pissed that Breath of Fire 3 isn't up on the store but you can get
the PSP version

It happens a lot, look at the NA 3DS virtual store - it's barren compared to the JP one. It's the same problem with the Western PSN versus the Japanese one, licensing. For them to re-release it on a new platform outside of Japan, even if it's digital, it's a much more involved process.
Why do you think there's an actual imports section on the NA PSN? The fine folks at Monkeypaw negotiated that so they could finally bring over more Japanese games that are stuck behind red tape by bringing them over in their pure Japanese form, presumably eliminating all that retardedly backwards licensing. I'd drop a line to them, see if they're interested in bringing it over? You never know..
I understand your frustration though
It could be anything holding it up, not just publishers. Could be audio licensing. There was a big blog post on this a few years back and why it isn't always as simple as it looks. Give it a read http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/01/31/psone-classics-where-we-all-stand/
If you seriously think they'd say no to money just to piss NA customers off, you need your brain re-wiring

Make sure you aren't accidentally touching the back touch. If you are touching the areas where L2 and R2 are, other buttons won't respond.
Oh god I think this might be it. Is that something from the vita or specific to FFVIII?
It's a Vita thing. For PS1 games, the L2/R2 buttons are mapped to the rear touch pad. Sucks, I know :\
In case somebody interested, this is the Soul Sacrifice "Spells" instruction video translated by "EpicNameBro"

Yeah I dunno why they give the options to have custom buttons but not be able to assign the front touch screen for things like with PSP games

Why not just take the 20 minutes to get used to holding it how its designed?
I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I ask myself this everytime I see someone complain about the backtouch. The backtouch annoyed me greatly when I first got my vita so I spent 20 minutes of discomfort as I adjusted how i held it. Haven't accidentally touched the backtouch since.
I don't find it comfortable. If I did, I would do it.

Well that's kinda my point, you deal with it feeling uncomfortable and then it becomes second nature.
It's actually very similar to how i felt going from inverted sticks to learning to use them not-inverted. At first it was a complete clusterfuck but after a little while it became the new normal, now if I get inverted controls I can't use those...

I'm sorry, but it just isn't. :\
I have tried; I simply cannot grip the system properly without supporting it at the back. More specifically, I'm unable to comfortably move my thumbs to the analogue sticks. It's less of an issue for games that only require the D-pad.
It's especially annoying to get used to holding a Vita with your middle fingers curved on the pads like intended if you've held a PSP for years with your middle fingers bracing the back of it, like me.
I eventually got used to holding the Vita its own way, but I totally understand how it can be a bother for others.
