Did anyone else notice that Amazon's Gravity Rush listing has been changed to May 29? Hope it won't take that long. . . .

Apologies if already posted.
 
Unfortunately PSN is still tied to Grace Chen time. Have fun waiting till 2PM PST (lol yeah right)

For about a month or two after the PSPGo came out, a few games actually came out on PSN on Tuesday at Midnight to coincide with their retail release.
 
I thought Lumines is a PSN game?

Why would you think that when Ubisoft is bringing downloadable games like Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, and Asphalt: Injection to retail?

I think charging $40 for Lumines is fucking stupid, but I'm never buying a Ubisoft handheld game anyways.

Every Vita game is supposed to be out on PSN day and date of retail.

I think he's asking if they'll be out on the same day the First Edition bundles will be out.

Game has gone gold already, so don't understand the reason for this.
 
man I wish EA would've just let EA Canada port PS3's Madden 12 to the Vita.

they seemed to do a great job with the FIFA port. :/

I don't trust EA Tiburon. It would've looked like the Kiddie Wii Version, and ran at 30fps.

It was listed as a launch window title when they revealed the launch lineup and other details around 2 weeks ago. Here is what they stated when asked what launch windows exactly means.

"That’s right, the launch window includes titles hitting within about a month of PS Vita’s launch."

Amazon seems to have been terrible with incorrect/updated release dates or even getting stuff listed as of late.
 
Will the PSN be up the week before, for first edition customers?

First Edition comes out on a Wednesday and hopefully all of the PS Vita titles will be up the day before on the store.

Im so torn about getting the early edition or waiting a week and going WiFi.
 
Amazon added Release Date delivery to the First Edition, but the option seems borked. I can't select it when I try to change the shipping, and customer service couldn't add it for me either.

Also, it is only mentioned on the First Edition page when I'm not logged into my account. When I log in, the product page doesn't mention it anymore. WTF.

Move to Canada and get the best of both worlds... oh, and universal health care...

I'll have enough games to keep me busy for 6 days if Grace Chen can't get her act together, but I really want to grab Escape Plan as soon as I can... Even if the titles aren't up, I hope that I'll be able to connect to PSN with my Vita to try some PSP titles (I have 70 on PSN now)...
 
If Sony is holding Gravity Rush back so that their titanic handheld has some games a few months down the road, that would suck.

I guess they're not that optimistic about its sales, since they won't even make the retail version (or is it just an EU thing).
Well, if the delay is true, I really hope it won't affect the Japanese release, I can't wait as it is.

Gravity Rush will be released physically in the US, and I'm starting to think it'll be DD-only for a limited time in EU.

hopefully they fix that soon
 
Alright, just pre-ordered the following from Amazon

PSVita 3G
32 GB Card

I plan to get Lumines from PSN and maybe Hotshots Golf/Uncharted/Katamari at best buy or something with some gift cards I have.

I am getting pretty hyped. Now let the count down begin!
 
tempted to get a 32GB card but Amazon don't ship to the UK for that. And I have a 16GB that'll get me by for a few months at least..
 
Just got back from Gamestop. Sold about 60 games and used the credit for my Vita First Edition.
so now i have the Vita, 32 Gb memory card, and 4 games paid off (uncharted, modnation racers, wipeout, hotshots golf).

FYI. Gamestop has $10 off nearly every first party launch game that is not Uncharted. i got wipeout, hotshots golf, and modnation racers for $29.99 each. :)
 
no, he's right. i just checked amazon and i found wipeout, modnation racers and hot shots golf for $29.99. crap. i use Prime so i just paid Gamestop an extra $9 for sales tax. oh well. they may do midnight launch. at least i'll have the games and system all at once.

here is the problem i have with Amazon right now. you go to their Vita section and click on Vita Games and hardly anything is listed there, including those 3 above. yet do a manual search for each one they are on the site. damn.

Searching Vita yields those 3 games. the memory cards you have to Google search.


Also locked my Uncharted for $40 when they had it for that price. Does Gamestop do price guarantees?
 
Why do you guys buy the games on Amazon if they're for the 'normal' price anyway? For the extra credit?

I'm getting everything off retail, no worries about delivery delays etc.

No tax
Price guarantees where if you order something and the price changes between then and the date it's delivered you are given the lower price
They used to give credit a lot so people probably still have credit to burn plus they might still give credit on games or even the system closer to launch
And just to not give Gamestop business.

Everything he said. Especially the bolded part.

Release date delivery means its sitting at my house when i get home, 3% cash back on my amazon CC, no tax, and guaranteed low price form when i preorder til when it ships. <3 Amazon
 
Has anyone been able to get release date delivery for their First Edition Bundle on Amazon?

It seems to be activated for the standalone console but not for the FE.

I think charging $40 for Lumines is fucking stupid, but I'm never buying a Ubisoft handheld game anyways.

I seriously thought this was going to be a 10 to 15 dollar digital download game. It is not 2005 anymore. I'm not spending 40 on Lumines either. 15 dollars max.
 
I thought Lumines has always been worth its price tag. Though I guess Im willing to pay the 40, always had got the previous one for like dirt cheap from gamestop years ago, so it will be good to support them in a better way, unless the digital one will be less, I may get it. I wish it would have support for the DLC for the PS3 Lumines.

Ubisoft tax.

Why do you think that? I do hope Europe gets a retail version. I want a nice physical games collection. :(

Well, SCEE said it would "initially" be available as a PSN-exclusive, which sounds like retail in the future.
 
Ninja Gaiden Sigma was just switched to being a launch title (2/15/12). is there anywhere that is keeping a complete updated list of launch games, including 3rd party?
